I noticed in one of your earlier pictures that your using those painted (red and black) battery terminals. I would highly recommend that you get rid of those ASAP. I have had nothing but problems with those on every vehicle I have ever used them on. I have 2 redtops in my 93 and still had dead battery symptoms that ended up being them. They will randomly cause you problems at the worst possible times.

Yeah I hate those terminals. I am planning on all new battery wires and terminals. Just gotta get the measurements and get the wire.

I got the truck back. Everything is fixed. They did break the little grey trim piece that covers the screws on the dash bezel. They took $50 off, so not a bad deal in my book.

Its gonna be nice to be able to drive the truck again!

$172. They boned me on the switch (parts labor was cheap) but I really needed the sticker.

I'm assuming you didn't get any lube with that?

Thanks to Thumper19 on here for finding it for me.

Now I just have to clean it up, and look into getting a new pump for it and a line. It will be nice to not have the whiny pump anymore.

Unacceptable, it was pretty cold here too. Its even better because I have the bikini top on the truck so the only thing between the weather and me is a leather sheet...
