Havent really done anything worth mentioning.
Started swapping dash harnesses from the black truck. Radio, kick panel lights, etc. Trying to decide if I should just swap the whole doors or try to put the power stuff into the red ones, Guess Ill have to look and see what ones are in better condition.
Once it gets warmer out Im going to bedline the interior, and swap bed and fenders from black truck.
Ended up turning the glowplugs on for too long and fried them, so swapped those yesterday. Im supposed to be getting a 7.3 style GPC and harness from someone on here so that doesnt happen again. Id like to keep my homemade harness, but Im not sure if the GPC would play nice with it. Never used the arduino and afraid of killing another 100$ set of plugs.
Where do people usually mount these with a turbo, and is there anything I should know about wiring it up? Looks pretty simple.
I think I am also going to try to find a coolant temp switch to put on the GPC circuit, kinda like the high idle is set up or the thermostat mod that has been shown here. I may just splice it into the cold advance circuit actually, assuming the controller doesnt pull too much juice.
Also found out why my WTS light was always on, 83 has a latching relay behind the dash that turns the light on. Not sure exactly how that works, havent found a diagram but would like my WTS light to work like its supposed to.
Had a heater hose blow and lost two gallons of coolant yesterday. That was fun.
Also think my oil cooler may be leaking, but I really need to clean all of the grease and crap off of the engine so I can see better, tried purple power and didnt do much. Just put Orings in that damn thing last year.
