SCRAP A TRUCK BECAUSE OF ELECTRICAL HELLLLLSSSS NO..

to me if all that is intermittent it definatley sounds like a grounding issue.. start at either tue fuze block or the steering colum/dach connectors. CLEAN and scrubb off every connector with electrical contact cleaner.

also make sure the chassis is grounded to the frame and battery.
i typically make a "master junction" spot on the frame where the battery negative, body grnd, and engine grnd are all in the same spot. but i also have backup grounds floating everywhere.


so.. scrub clean and start over brother it's out there. It is just going to take time.
