The straps on mine went front to back, not side to side ?

Last night I completely disassembled my brand new 4BBL carb and cleaned it thoroughly because when I assembled my AN fuel lines I forgot to clean out one of the lines after cutting it with a dremmel tool. All those little rubber and metal fines sure can make a mess of a carb and you'd be surprised how much just one cut will generate.

Installed my boneyard sway bar. Wow what a difference, $50.00 well spent!

If you haven't added one of these yet I would suggest you take the time well worth the money and the little effort to install.

Just upload it to imageshack.com or tinypic.com or windypix.com or any of the places that let you hold a pic for free. Then put it in pic bbcode. You need to know this. A bracket is this key:
[ <---see that?

The code goes OPENBRACKET, then IMG, then CLOSEBRACKET. I cant type it or the board will think im posting a pic, but here's it with a space in it.
[IMG ]
then goes the link to your picture.
then the same bracket code but with a slash.
[/IMG ]
Delete the spaces.

You end up with this:
[IMG ]http://www.tinypic.com/84838322/myCOOLpicHERE.jpg[/IMG ]

Hopefully this ends up showing up right. Again dont forget to delete the spaces in my example.

I'm tellin ya guys, you can post any time by using the code I told you about. No need to fix anything on the board because it doesnt use the board, it just grabs the pic from the interwebs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 
Here's where I am today. The previous owner before the previous owner (I think) managed to take a perfectly simple, well labeled EZ Wiring harness and screw it up beyond description. After driving it for nearly 3 years with ALL the circuits (including lights, etc.) wired to only work with the key on, I decided to straighten things out. This idiot had the ignition and accessory circuits tied to gether via the headlight switch some way that defies logic. The gauge wiring was connected to the front turn signals in the same manner. I can't believe anything worked or that it didn't burn to the ground. Anyhow, after clipping and reconnecting a few wires and some tidying up I'm on the way to having this mess fixed. Thankfully he didn't butcher the harness, only did some strange circuitry.

If was any of you guys that did this, you're an idiot!
