It's the turn signal switch!!!!!!!
Whazzupp Brian? Still going at it here..... At this point I could use a hot wrench ( just enough to warm the nuts) to bust the cab mounting bolts loose. Not too far from having the front clip off, don't see it happening today but soon still...
Brian what time is you job interview tomorrow???? I have an appointment for my back at 9am. "IF" nothing is going on here I'd be up to coming out to give you a hand on the FORD. Me and swapping engines and trannys are done. Your light issue I still think is in the turn signal switch.
"IF" I can get out there I'll bring my puller set so Rich won't make a special trip IF you have a turn signal switch to replace the one you have......
Yall take care.

Rich by riding in the Bronco around the back part of your place, I can tell YOU are gonna have a SMORR MONSTER! BUT put that wire in a better place for your electric cooling fan so my big feet dont knock it off again!
I'm kinda wanting to get the "Real Ka'Bluey" (no red included) muddy one more time before we take em' apart. That cab is gonna be a HUGE improvement, but it's not Ka'bluey? Not for sure on a paint scheme. Most likely it'll go back Ka'Bluey Blue. But without the race track trim that he has now. Not sure about that either, that alluminum break up that much of any color.....

yeah i still need the puller rich. Bob if you want to come by and lend a hand my interview is at 10:30 wouldn't think it would take to long. I am thinking its in the signal switch (of course it is its 70 bucks new for 1 :O ) I took it out to a little goof around place behind my house and left the signal on the entire time didn't pop same on the gravel road to then pulled into my drive way and boom it popped again. If I had known you were going to be working on you truck today i would have offered to give you a hand

oh and to make things better bumped a tree and my drivers mirror fell off and cracked the glass...the woman shut here door yesturday and the glass fell out of that one and shattered. Somehow while my son was "helping" me in the truck when i pulled my instrument panel he broke all but 1 tab off it (well i think 1 of them was me) and apparently i'm to heavy handed with a screwdriver because i broke most all of my screw holes in my bezel for the for instrument panel

Holy crap! Lots of stuff getting done today. Add this to the list.......
THE TOYOTA IS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!
I put the new coil packs in it and it lit off like a new one......until we put it in gear. After a few minutes of run time, it stopped hyper ventilating and straightened out. Whew!
I also got the Saturn back together and ready to ship. That one was easy once I got the engine mated to the trans. I didn't have a clutch alignment tool, so I had to line it up by eye. It was a little tricky to get the input shaft into the clutch disc, but it went eventually.
I also got the Exploder torn apart. It jumped time, so I have to pull the engine and tear it down to see if the heads are wrecked. After I pull the heads, the only thing holding it in the truck is the bell housing. Might as well make it easy on myself.
Tomorrow I'm gonna pull the engine on the second Saturn. That one needs a crank as well. If the crank gets here tomorrow, I hope to have that one ready to ship by the weekend.
......movin' right along.
.....finally!

Brian after we dragged the chebby I told you had brake light/turn signal issues......
No nut issues Unk Bob just poking fun at some weird statements about them, LMAO
Brian puller is in the truck, if its early (0800 ish) I will put in chevy. And call to PU later in the afternoon 3 ish, so get on it.
So Brian you need a passenger side glass for a 79 Ford right. I have 2 sets of doors, should I put a passenger one in the back of mine when I head that way?
Yea Ches that is just wrong on her part, sell the ford, get the cash and drag her **** into court.
Alan, hurray for fixing stuff, gotta feel better now?
