My truck run! Drove it all over town just a few minutes ago. Sweet.

Bypassing the existing fuel lines, and fsv did the trick.

I got that handled. Its between my house and garage. It's shielded.

Is it cold enough up there for you to get snow out of this one?

It should be fun!

Picked up the ferret timing adapter and a timing light. I figured i do this right the first time. Its currently set to 9 degrees. Seems right on the money. Sure sounds more diesely then it used too especially on cold timing advance it sounds like a 7.3 powerstroke.

Thanks, i think we will be fine where we are. Probably will lose power for a couple days like usual. It's pretty high up in this area so i don't have to worry about flooding and such.

Hope your family stays safe too!

I'm quite happy it working. It been a month and a half without any vehicle. Taking the bus to college is slow but, cheap. Can't be in a rush to use that. It can be kinda peaceful to be honest.
