Update time.
Wipers now work, the motor was fried. I pulled the carpet out and have been running around without any. I installed some captains chairs from an f100, still contemplating if I like the extra floor space, or actually want to put in the center console. I went to the factor sized tires for the rear, the speedo is still 10mph off, so I will probably jump up to a 285/75R16 mud terrains on the rear of the truck, for extra traction, and to bring my highway rpm down a little.
the front end is tight, she needs an alignment and a steering shaft at some point. It is only a little loose.
I still haven't played with the vacuum valve on the IP or checked to see if my vacuum pump is working. I suspect my vacuum pump has died, as my HVAC controls are stuck in defrost and will not change to anything else.
other then that she has done well, I am hovering around 15mpg on the fuel side of things, and its slowly climbing for some reason, maybe its my foot.
I did a new fuel filter tonight and the truck got a million times quieter now, the old one must have been mighty dirty, now I have a slight throttle surge from time to time. The truck leaks a little high pressure fuel, my guess is it is related to that. I have to get around to fixing that, it is currently my number 1 priority, and the next thing I tackle.
