Another question. I need the diagram for my ignition switch wires so I can install a switch panel. I forgot who asked me why it was sitting. Um the old owner said it had 3 owners. First owner died after 3 days of selling it. Second owner(her dad) die 4 months after she bought it. She lost the keys to her Miata which also had the truck's key and has been setting seen 2017. So in other words I'm going to die after I sell it (which I'm not. I'm going to the military and taking my truck with me).

 

Why not just get a new set of ignition tumblers and a key and put it back to normal? Getting that key cut to match the door locks is not that hard. Or just go to a JY and get a ignition/key and matching door locks? You might even get a locking glove box lock.

 

You ask me why I'm not buying a new one because I am impatient. I'm trying to go in the army as a diesel mechanic for wheels and light tracks

 

Well if you are that impatient, I feel that I need to tell you the Army is really going to wear on you ALOT then. You have to be very patient with that way of life, it is very hurry up and wait. And wait and wait. How do I know that, because I did it every day for 20 years and 29 days. The diagram I sent you should get you up and running in no time.

Best of luck with your plan to enlist. FYI you can not take your truck with you to basic training or AIT (Advanced Individual Training). AIT vehicle rules might of changed due the length of the course, but I doubt it.

So be prepared to have it set (or some one take of of it) until you get your permanent duty station orders. Then you can drive it there. But what if you go to Korea or Germany right off the bat? NO personal vehicles allowed in Korea. Shipping it to Germany a whole different story.

Basic training is usually just 9 weeks. But from what I understand now days a 91B Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, receive ten weeks of Basic Combat Training and 13 weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT) which includes classroom and on-the-job instruction.

Just saying.

 

LOL.... my thoughts exactly when I read that "IMPATIENT" thing.....LOL.

(I'm just sayin' too)

Me..... I'm Curly, sitting in the chair under the clock waiting to paint the cuckoo..... "it will be out in another hour".....

 

If being impatient is your game then I'd reckon you should step away from an old farm truck from the 70's. Getting parts for these things ain't as easy as walking in to your local Mc.Parts store and getting em anymore. Fixing them usually isn't too bad as long as you have a truck that hasn't been hacked to hell.

But by no means is anything here based on the idea of instant gratification.

In other words, buy a new switch and be done with it.

 

Thank me? No.

Thank you!
