I'm the same way. Nobody works on my cars but me!!! I took my Titan to the dealer to repair the exaust under waranty. They didn't put the 2 grounding straps back on and it made the injectors tap real loud. I put the straps on when I found the problem and made a custom grounding kit. Fixed the tap! I got rid of that thing befor I got my f350. $500 a month was just stupid!!

Usually when someone refers to a 410, they mean that they have a 390 block with a 428 crankshaft...

What Darrell said, you put a 428 crank in a 390 or 360 (same block) to make a 410.

My ex-father in-law was famous for using any color battery cable red or black on the Positive or the Negative battery side for a cable. He always like for me to fix all the family vehicles the harder stuff that is..So one day I hook up my volt meter and, I see the red cable.. And Burned it up wtf. I look and wonder wtf and see both our red.. Couldn't see with a fender cover on so i didn't scratch the paint.. So shxt can happen because of other people errors ...orich

Yea I know I got rid of a POS 08 Chevy HHR SS & GM ate that car an I bought this truck. At $414 a month & $145 insurance & 20MPG for a 4 cyc turbo forget it I would rather have a V8 an tinker with making it better on MPG & loud at the same time. But yea on my truck I had to wait a few months to get it an it drove me crazy to get it here mine come from VT 715 miles away an if I could have went & got it cheaper than he delivered it I would have looking for a 69 stang an plan to go get it myself this time instead of relying on someone & take a change on getting it messed up even though it will be a project car. AN I hope everything turns out good with you getting your truck in here an its ok knows what that is like.

Well I got the truck Saturday night. I worked on it all Sunday. I replaced the Battery, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, and alternator. Apparently when he hooked the cables up it burned out a fusiable link. Replaced 6" of wire. She runs like a rape date!. Does anyone know where I can get a Dash harness, and body harness. The wiring needs to be redone and I think it won't be too bad to do. Just cant find the harnesses.
