put some fresh gas in the freshly cleaned gas tank. threw a new filter on and started it up. its running like crap. guess the carb got a big drink of the black mess that was in the tank. the new accelerator pump diaphragm was stuck from the mess in the squirter circuit. it wont idle as im sure that circuit is all gunked up to. guess ill be pulling the carb and giving it a soak and a rebuild. this stinks because it was running great for the first 20 minutes till the goo got sucked up. guess its my own fault for not cleaning out the tank. who knows how long this truck sat before we got it. found the power steering setup we just got put on isnt working either. think the used pump is kaput. so today i cursed at the truck and myself, repeatedly! lol! o well tommorow is another day and is supposed to be a bit cooler.

Just finished lay-out, forming, creating, and installing my A/C hoses and heater hoses, making a bulkhead plate, bracketing my drier and putting line spacers on. 40 + hours. Everything made, cut and crimped to size.

Washed and cleaned her up good for Saturday's show. Maybe do ok this year.

Got my DDM Tuning 6000K HID kit all hooked up. Very easy install. I need to aim my lights and I should be all set.

Went to the trans shop...Trans wasn't ready. Went to Napa to have trans cooler lines made up ($106.).

Went to Manny, Mo, and Jack's for more fluids (of all kinds), a black plastic thingy that holds the fan sensor in the radiator,
an open-plenum carb gasket, some slime floor weep up stuff, and a drop light that I need to replace the one I slammed in the door ($133).

Moved the melted (my bad choice) starter wire, (re) installed the starter and flex plate.

Oh, after putting in the new freeze plugs, we put the motor back in yesterday. The trans had to be outsourced to fix more leaks than I could deal with.
Other than the trans fix in the works, it's all about re-hooking stuff now.

Speaking of hooking up, the truck's been on non-op for a couple of years. Today I got the bill for tags for 12 months. California....$212.
Went to get insurance added at State Farm. $216 for the year for no collision for now. High PL and PD coverages.

When it's painted, or even when body work progresses a little further, we'll jack the coverage up...but for now, we're self-insuring on *our side* of any loss.
I'm just glad I'm close enough to think she's ever gonna be on the road!

Here's yesterday morning:

[Ds86C10]

killed it... shut it off at the girlfriends moms and it was running fine before that, now the starter spins but doesnt engage the fly wheel...

use a screw driver to jump the solenoid.

I like the blazer tube doors! Are you going to make them so that they open? Or just climb over? Does anyone get fourwheeler magazine? I just looked at last months issue and it's a full-size special with an amazing gmc on the cover with a good artical on the truck.. It made me want to spend about 10k on mine so I could be where that guy is.. Daily driver 40s, still able to tow, looks great, I'd just have to spend the extra cash though and put a/c on it though..

The HIDs look good! Mine didn't work. Running the new lenses and H4s and they're 100 times better than stock, I could only imagine how good the HIDs are.

Thanks. I went with the 35W. It doesn't look so blue after a bit. I have 55W kit on my 2010 Z1000 with 6000K, and that light is amazing.

DDM Tuning 35W 6000K H4 kit. Yes I have upgraded wiring with my LMC harness.

[shopking72]

Got the lights aimed. I think they turned out pretty nice. Huge difference over stock lights. Went for a short drive and no one flashed their brights at me lol.

Took this with my phone, so not the best quality.

Put my truck on a tow truck, took it to the muffler shop for exhaust work and now it sounds really good. After new mufflers I DROVE to the alignment shop to align the front end...tech said everything was good, didn't need alignment. Changed the oil, calibrated the speedometer, replaced the ignition switch, filled up the gas tank, drove around awhile and did a few burn-outs. Life is good!

Sorry to keep asking questions, did you use DDM sealed beam conversion housings as well?
