My idi tried to kill me again after replacing the head light switch and Voltage regulator and i believe i finally killed that deep cycle from rural knig. But now it survived a 900 mile odisey through the apalachian mountains and now lives in Georgia. Saddly i don't know if i can save it now. It has started having transmission problems and i believe the screens fell off my sending units. I cant get the rear tank down either. The bolts are too rusted.

Dylan, didn't you separate the 2 glowplug wires from the harness? Pull the bed for the tanks, screw the straps. You sell the truck? I've been looking for a 4x4 XLT. I'd save it.

I still have it. I did a oil change today at work but the electrical gremlins are killing me. I had to jump it today just so I could get home. And it's not just a standard XLT it's also a Lariat with 2 bench seats. 148,677 miles on it. I have no idea what gauge wires I am dealing with or I would eliminate the connector.

That's the exact same interior that was in my 91. I put gray covers over mine cause those seats get chewed up easy.
