I hope to make it. I know my programmer will read codes, but not sure about injectors unless it throws a code.

What projects are on everyone's list?

I still haven't got my compressor moved to the shop, don't know if I will before Saturday or not. If you need air for a project, we can work out of the attached garage too or I may just bite the bullet and wire the compressor in the shop, depends on cost of wire now.

If you need directions, PM me and I'll send them to you

I'm pretty sure that I need directions.... So, it's straight, then a curve to the right then I'm there, right? Pretty sure that I can make it there on the starter and the battery if I have to....

Things I need to do would be to:

Get the rear axle fill cap out
Check the driveline for bad u-joints and carrier bearing
Find out why my windshield washer doesn't work and delay on wipers doesn't work
Other things to do if time:
Flush power steering, trans and coolant (probably wait on these)

Well Mike, I need to do front brakes and rotors, but I will do those at home in case I have issues, so I will be their just for moral support or a strong back and weak mind, whatever you prefer.

What time are you thinking about, and is it Sat the 10th for sure?

I won't be able to spend too much time there, I have a couple things that came up. But I would like to meet everyone and check my 95 'stroke out for the injectors like I mentioned. Will AE work on my truck?

I'm not sure AE will work. What's the port under the steering wheel look like?

It's not under the steering wheel, it's under the center of the dash. It's an OBDII style connector.

Sorry, that's where I meant. If it is OBDII, AE should work. We'll find out Saturday

Great! I need to get to the bottom of this running quality issue. How long will you guys be there? It would be better for me to stop by at 5:00 or so.

I will be there on Saturday! Looking forward to meeting some new people. Don't really have to much to do on my truck for now. I should take my EBPS tube off and clean that to see if that clears up the code Tom found when he scanned my truck. Mike is there anything we need to bring?

That's great that you'll be able to make it Troy.

I don't think so, I should have most tools that will be needed.

Does anyone have a preference for lunch? Burgers? I'll stop tomorrow while I am out running and pick up some pop(what's everyone drink?) and chips. Beer? Any other food related items? Any other non food related items?
