my newer DD is in the bodyshop for 2 weeks, got in a tangle with a deer.
Been DD-ing the truck 90 miles a day. Been getting 17-18 mpg if you would believe that in its hacked together state, still has the computer controlled ignition. but the carb is apparently older and not connected to the computer.

This is the link to the SEM directions in case anyone needs it. When I contacted them about how to best do this job, they sent this to me:

Well my plan is to start getting the vinyl floor in the truck.
Of course, when I got home from court, the dog had peed on the carpet (again). Since the plan is to replace the carpet with loose-lay vinyl plank flooring, and I have the flooring, I got mad and pulled the carpet (a section at least).
So now I have to balance working on the truck and getting the dining room floor done.
Now that's Fun Fun Fun..
Did I mention I need to do this with 4 chihuahua's, a greyhound and a great dane running around?
