Hoss's progress thread
Well, I made a little time to work on her today and got it nailed down to fuel starvation (only about 1-psi at the LPFP) so as soon as I check the selector valve and a few other things I will probly end up buying a fuel pump (low pressure). I did however get the headache rack, trailer brake controler, stereo, CB and the rest of my junk transfered from da beast to Hoss. so the day wasn't a total loss lol
