She's Alive!!

Well boys and girls, the beast has come back to life tonight!! We cranked her for about 25 mins with no luck, then checked her codes and found that the crank position sensor wasn't reading right. After checking the sensor and finding it not plugged in, we, ah, plugged it in and boomba. She ran. Ever hear a diesel run with just a 3 foot downpipe? WOW! That's so freakin' kewel!!!

So, hopefully, she'll be back on the street tomorrow by lunch.

Now as for the wife's car. Well, the insurance company wants to total it out. So, that was an expensive trip to Imperial! Still worth it though Scott.

YAY TODD! Sorry to hear about mrs. car, but I'm pretty sure that Brandi was serious...if you want another one, call me and you could probably have hers REAL cheap.

Now about that crank position sensor...did you um, uh,..."secure" it well?

I did hear the clip snap when I pushed it in. I figure that's held it in so far, so it oughta hold again.

fantastic news... Good thing Codyschmoe wasn't online during the time your truck was down and out. You didn't have to catch any poo over that one.

If you don't hear from me tomorrow night, I'm either broke down or still running from the cops!
