Ok, I'm waiting on the Mrs. to get home so that she can watch my daughter while I fiddle with the truck. I always thought that a bad nuetral safety switch would not start in park, but would start in nuetral. Thats why I tried that right away when the truck wouldn't start. How do I test a NSS?
I will try the suggestions about the ign wire in the other post first.
