I remember you had that problem with the 6.5, though you got it figured out awhile back though.

lmao no. but the old pmd box was melted at the b post, that runs to the fuel solenoid. so going to take the intake off when i can to look at that. the 6.5 can run/sense timing with the cps and optical sensor. if one is bad the truck will still run just takes awhile to start, but the only time she trys to start is if both sensors are plugged in. if you unplug one or the other she wont get no fuel

guess i dont have a picture of the trailer we built. but its made just for our trucks, and big tires. we are just under the width limit of a trailer i wana say 8'  there is only a couple inches on the inside width to accommodate 73-87 trucks. i have hauled cars but it gets sketchy with planks that slide around for the smaller wheel base. then we also made the fenders drop down like that trailer.

I'm still debating on which trailer I really want to get in the near future, Or finally just buy my own place with some land and a nice big garage with it,  I'm used to hauling 102" trailers all day long

well got a few new goodies to clean up the engine bay, got a fresh oil change in it, and re painted the stock rally wheels. just a need to find some new shoes for it to go to inspection. then it might be going down to texas for a little bit.
still need to find all new center caps for it to, the factory front ones are cracked to heck and the rear ones are mia.

yea, was out on the road for the whole month before. Ordered new wheels and tires for it yesterday, 33x12.50x15 swamper radials on some procomp 1069's, then still debating on what intake and spark setup I'm going to run on it.

Had to change the tires because 4wp didn't have them.. then ordered the rims and tires I have now from them and took them 2 weeks to tell me they were on back order for 4-8 weeks. so got them from tirepackage.com and got them to the house in 3 days mounted and balanced, lugs, and center caps.
