Tore into the electrical a bit, mainly trying to get my lights fixed, plus replaced the headlight switch.




Does anyone know what this is for?






And in the end, there was light :)

And my headlights now only work when I'm accelerating, so I still have a loose wire. Need to get that fixed becasue I start a new job 5.5 hours away friday morning.
Also need to do whatever  I can to squeeze MPG out of that ginormous motor. Already put a new air filter on it, replacing plugs tomorrow morning.

     Holey Toledo, are you going to commute every day ?  It would be cheaper to get a cheap motel room.  11 hrs driving for work a day, you got more drive then I do for sure, my hat is off to you.

Lol not per day. Seven days on, seven days off. I couldn't do that daily
