Thanks guys. I did email Jamis at DP Tuners to get more info on this.
Ya, the truck is very nice and I will post Pic just as soon as I get some.
The old man that owned the truck before me bought it from the dealership in June of 1995 as a Manual. he was very old school and bought it to haul his 5th wheel that he bought the following month.
He was very sick for many years before passing away. He was a very cool dude.

That explains the clutch switch bypass. Wife's '83 F150 and my '83 Plymouth didn't have one.
It's not a two-tone, by any chance, is it? Grab handles on the B-pillars?....

I did the same thing on my Harley. Just pulled the whole key cylinder and threw it away, put a hidden kill switch on it and so no key is needed at all. If you don't know which switches to have on it would be a bugger to start, but if you could find the kill switch you could just walk up and ride off. Of course, 4 guys and a truck and you can have any bike you want anyway... so I figured no big deal. I like the old guy's style though.

That video is interesting. My truck did that the other day. I thought maybe it was because I didnt let the glow plugs warm up. Usually it will fire up, then miss for a second and go back to normal. 2 days ago, it did exactly as that video did. That is a PCM issue?

I have wasted your time and Im sorry.<!--?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

I contacted my buddy that has been helping me out with the truck.<o</o
The # I gave you are from a note he had left for me..<o</o
Long story short, I gave you #’s that I found on that note, thinking that he found them on my truck's PCM. But what he put down was an example of what I should see when I pull my PCM. I thought he had pulled it.<o</o
Do I feel stupid.<o</o
I am going to pull the computer this weekend and correct this stupidity on my part.<o</o
