Re: dually burb project in Va
 
just out of curiosity, how/where are you planning to mount the switches on the console?

Re: dually burb project in Va
 
you should get some interior pics so we kinda have a idea of waht your working with... and i would have to agree with slug, that would look killer layed out and body droped( or complete custom frame!) best of luck to ya

I'll get a pic friday but in the stock center console there is a 1.5" x 12" cubby
in front of the cup holders place the dr switch centered with the
tail gate and rear fan switch on either side

I had a stumble for a short time, I replaced the throttle position sensor and ignition module... fixed it for me. Also helped to do the usual tune up of plugs, wires, fuel filter. I did have to eventually replace the in tank fuel pump at 165K miles.

Re: dually burb project in Va
 
I did plugs and wires for now but I will trace it down next week

You should bring the rock buggy to our cruise in when you get it all worked out. This month we had 2 mud boggers and next month we should have a few drag cars...
