Honestly, it could have been much worse. I had the most basic of basic tools, which crudely got the job done, my spare tire sits in the bed so I was able to use it as a stool, it wasn't raining, and I made it to an exit with a big gravel area at the base of a forest service road so no traffic zooming by me. All around I'd say it was a best case scenario

Glad you had the best case scenario you could have Nick. Would have sucked to be on the side of the interstate.
Fixed the truck on friday night/saturday morning. New SD setup did the trick.
Saturday morning after that I put the new fuel pressure gauge in my red truck. The glowshift one pegged at 100 and was bouncing all over so got an autometer. That was all the problem was there. Then went to fill up with diesel to go racing today. Filled the rear tank and fuel ran out on the ground when full. My flippin vent popped out the top of the tank. So now I had a full 38 gallon tank of fuel that needed to be dropped. I got the vent pushed back in the grommet with a piece of flat iron and ran a tie strap around the tank to hold it in and went racing. I needed to burn some of that fuel off. Down to half a tank now. It held fine, but I need to fix it right. I'll do some more driving with it soon and burn more of it up. Not sure where, but I'll get rid of it somehow.
In other words my luck is continuing on its normal path..
Oh yeah, got stung by a wasp saturday at work too. Foot's all swelled up, along with half way up my calf. Geez..
