It is my truck, at work, on it's first successful commute!

Sorry to waste your time. This was just a big milestone for me!

Carry on!

Way KEWEL mann, I know what it requires to get a stubborn vehicle on the road . Heck I obtained a 53 Ford panel delivery and spent two years just getting it road worthy only to break a waterpump on the first road trip ! Yes , I do understand and I hope you send more stories of your truck too ! Ed Shaver

5 miles in heavy freeway traffic. I did a test run last Thursday night, and failed, found the voltage reg to be unseated, and tried again today.

Congrats! I know how it feels too to have a successful commute.

How many alarms did you set off in that parking garage? I love to set alarms off just driving though the parking lot where I work.

Well, if it's a Seattle parking garage, there's no telling what could happen ... I took my Econoline into one of those garages and wound up in a section where the roof clearance just wasn't quite high enough and... well... I kinda screwed up one of the fluorescent light fixtures pretty good lol

The worst that happened to me was hitting my antenna on the HVAC ducts. I was pretty close to hitting the cab too.
