Just an update for those that saw my post about my inlaws truck with the dead battery. I took the battery cable off and used a test light to find what fuse was pulling power. Its a IOD fuse. I guess its for items that get power with out the ignition on. It turns out to be the driver door pin is broken off and the inside light would not light because of this. Well I used my amp meter and the draw is now at .24 amps. With the bad door pin connected it was 3 amps. So i guess that was the problem. Time will tell for i reconnected the battery.

hello everybody!
andy, im going to tell the guy at work about the axles. i dont think he is as serious about winning as most are. he modeled the car after a 30's roadster, with a sheetmetal visor. it has the aerodynamics of a brick.
