make sure the bolts that came with your started are correct thread pitch for your engine...

Yeah, they fit right in.  8)

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while. My truck has been running fine and I haven't done any real upgrades or repairs since my last post.
I though I would check back in since my Sniper dropped dead. It's out of warranty and my only options for it are to send it in for a rebuilt ecu or buy sniper II.
The first option is cheaper obviously but I don't think I want another Sniper I.
Another option is to go back to a carb. That is not a cheap option either. It's actually just as expensive as a Sniper II with a lot more work.
I'm just trying to stay ahead of all these bills that keep coming in and squirrel some money away for the repair.

I hope you guys are well. Happy Holidays.

I bought a couple from National Carburetor, not bad pricing.

I have actually bought several carburetors from them over the years.  8)

This is what I'm going to do.
I've got too much money and time invested in this efi shoot to back out now.
If the sniper II ends up being a problem I will be going back to a carb.  :P

At that point I started thinking, "this was my dad's truck. I'm not going to let it die like this." So my son and I got to work.

Nah, thank YOU for sharing with us your story and its story. They are both pretty cool. I especially identify with it as mine was my grandfather's truck and will be leaving it to my son so im working on mine like yall are working on yours!

Beautiful truck, another one in the place it should be. With folks who really care and will take care of it.
