Glad you have it running! It’s hard to diagnose a truck that’s new to you and that has sat for several years.
But know you have a baseline of what is working going forward.
So what did you do with your truck today?

The only thing to note is that it needs to contact the brass ring only. If the connector contacts the steel portion of the adapter, it would ground out the signal and not work.

Not mine. The one that we had at the shop where I used to work. It looked something like a small, black, micrometer. The meter was exactly like mine is. Mine just doesn't have that attachment.

Return fuel line replaced from the block down to the metal line at the frame.
ATF in the fuel filter does wonders. My beast is purring like a kitten.

Glad to hear it.
Did a handful of stuff today...
Did the fuel heater delete and fuel return line delete at the filter head on my dad's '89 crew cab, and replaced my center rear view mirror on my' 90 crew
Used a Gentex-177 out of a late 90' suburban. Even wired in the temp sensor to the side of the core support. Super nice.

I sold "ole blue" yesterday morning
I'm gonna miss that truck, it always did me good and I've been racking up miles on it everyday for the last year with little trouble.
The guy who bought was very happy with the truck, and I was happy it's going to be taken care of, but the only downside of this deal, is that my crew cab's bed still isn't mounted and I need the truck tomorrow for work.
This is how the crew cab sits now, bed is mocked up and my neighbor is helping me out a ton with this since my welding machines aren't up to the task here.
The truck is far from pretty, but it'll do the job.
After I get it on the road this week, I have to do a clutch job and eventually add the turbo kit and tires.

I need a crew cab something fierce. I have cab envy. 
3 kiddos and trying for a 4th...the wife won't even consider squeezing into our extended cab with the car seats right now.
Hey if it gets the job done...there aren't style points anyway.
Keep up the good work Rock!

Did you get in a slight hurry to get rid of the other truck?
For me: I have yet to have that line work on any super models!Hey if it gets the job done...there aren't style points anyway.
For the truck: I always say that I can't see what the truck looks like when I'm driving it!

The crew cab is well worth the hunt, but I will say the turning radius absolutely sucks....I need a crew cab something fierce. I have cab envy.

Halfway through a really wide turn, it just seems as if it's still going straight..lol.
I am actually disappointed with the turning radius for what I do, but eventually I'll figure something out to improve that.
I sure am glad there's no style points, if there were I'd be at -10......

Well,not really but I made a deal with the guy a month ago, assuming my crew cab would be ready by now. Let's just say I have been short on time.

I feel that. This crap weather sure isn't helping. We're supposed to have 2-4" of "S" word by tomorrow night....,..

After almost 4 hours of mostly tracing wires, I sorted out through the rats nest on the bed and started wiring in the lights..
I used a 4 flat trailer harness as the harness plug for the bed..
I have to remove the bed tomorrow to finish the mounts, so I wanted a plug on the harness..
The lights have independent grounds, so I ran the reverse lights,marker lights,left turn, and right turn through the plug. Works well, and lights are all done and working..
I forgot to take a picture of the clearance lights.

I spent 10 hours working on the bed today. It's all done, and I couldn't have done it without my neighbor. the bed had to come of 3 times, and I had to drill six 1/2 inch holes in the frame which took up most of the afternoon.. I hauled firewood with it today, and the best part was starting out at a light loaded,(1 ton on truck), there was a Cummins guy behind me rolling coal and jumping around in my mirror like a flea on a farm dog..(you know the type)....the light turns green and he's doing clutch drops while I'm still in 1st gear putting along. I got sick of the idiot, so I floored it, and gave him some of his own medicine.....he left me alone after that,lol . So much nicer than the pickup bed. I can't wait to mount my triangle toolbox and jobox so I can get all the tools out of the cab.
It rides nicer than my dad's Lincoln town car, with the 1k pound flatbed on it.
The clutch is starting to slip real bad. I think the rear main seal is leaking on to it, because there's oil all over.......
