Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project
I got all excited and looked it up. Why is it called turkey drag if no turkey or on drag racing? I went last year and they wanted 10 bucks a person so i left. Not really my crowd.

Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project
I have never really tryed to go in but when i drive buy the entrance the guy that blocks the entrance always stands in the way like he is blocking me. It has too much rust to park in there anyway.

![]() but it went pretty smooth! only took about 5 start attempts which i think is damn good ![]() 1st time my feed fuel line to the filter/reg was leaking, tightened it up & it was all good. 2nd time turned the key on & got power but no start. did some digging and found the starter solenoid was no good. and of course you cant JUST buy the solenoid. so $200 later we're on to attempt... 3. hit the key and the battery is to low now to turn it over ![]() 4. swapped in another battery from our '87 442 (800 CCA ![]() dug some more & found the 12V switched wire for my PCM was flat lining when i turned the key to start position. switched the wire to a slot with 12V with key on and start position 5. hit the starter and she fired right up. drove every dog around here nuts. great way to end a saturday tho! ![]()

Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project
I also had to get new starter. Mine would spin but not push the gear out to turn flywheel. I think the ls starters are gold inside. Mine started on first try but my carb was already full of fuel from the drive over to swap. But shortly died cause i had my fuel pump switch off. Could not get it to start for noting. Then i realized what happened.

Re: '82 Shortbed 6.0 project
got some more done today.
got a stock upper rad hose for a 01 2500. fit great, used a flexible one on the bottom. (LS1 Radiator if i haven't mentioned). ALSO, did the XJ intermediate steering shaft mod an WOW what a dramatic decrease in steering wheel play. wasn't sure if it would work well with a 2WD but it fit great. well worth the $31 i got in it ![]() got my Lokar shift linkage installed as well. now just waiting on one of my U-joints to come in and electric fan pigtails. ![]() she'll be road ready very soon!!
