Shop called and said they feel unsafe hooking the battery up due to the wiring. Could be as much as 20-25 hours to replace wiring in entire truck plus the harness which aint cheap. Hope the motor is ok after all this is done.

She is home. I need to take it to get the exhaust done and then it is ready for a test drive. I am pleased with everything I have seen so far. I had a short amount of time before it got dark and did not get pics. The stance turned out to have less of a rake which is good. I will have to see if I want to go a little lower in the back.

Well I got the exhaust done and now I am having a problem getting fuel from the new tank and lines. I thought it might be the pump so I replaced that and no luck. I have run it up to 15 minutes with a fuel line dropped in a gas can but when I hook it up to the tank it will run for a while and then die from lack of fuel. I can then drop a line back in the can and it will fire right up. After that I can hook the line to the tanks back up and it will run for a while and then die again. I have blown air from the line at the pump back to the tank and you can hear the air bubbling in the tank. It is like it can not keep suction from the tank. It is running well when it gets gas. The shop ran a rubber line from the tank to new hard lines on the frame and I can not see where it connects at the top of the tank so I hope there is not a kink that requires the tank to be dropped.

Is the cap on the tank when running and it dies? Just wondering if it is forming a vacuum in the tank with a non vented cap that the fuel pump eventually can't overcome.

I forgot to mention I have run it with the cap off the tank and experienced the same problem. I am open to suggestions.
