    Un-identified item

    Ya seems ill be moving the res over to the drivers side. As for the Eaton brake item ill disconnect it for my drive to work here in 20 mins, see if anything happens. since it isnt connected by vacuum at all I doubt unplugging it is going to change anything.

    Bad IP?

    Replaced Lift pump and hose from frame to pump. Seems to have fixed it so far. Took a little drive to the store, went in for 10 mins n came out expecting it to shudder n miss like before. Half a crank and she fired. No missing. Seems to have woke up the beast a little too.
