woo o2 sensor came in!
boo! misfire is quite obvious. gonna break out the o-scope to see if any of my ignition system crapped. even though it is all new and factory.

It's about time to inspect fuel system..
figuring I'll be starting with grounds... looking for corrosion.

lookie what I found in the back of an extra parts/tools storage at work. It's a 1987 model.. looks like it's never been used. 1987 truck... 1987 diag machine... with instructions.. Off at 5... shop closes sometime between 7-9... Gonna play Back to the Future

so with some math.. I'm about $6,800 deep.. including initial purchase. Soo if anyone wants this truck.. the bids start at $15,000... :p I kid.. this thing isn't going anywhere but including all the new parts in came with.. it's probably got more like 8 invested in it.. the PO took a hit selling it to me.. ANYway.. I was just bored.. didn't have a good update.. and made a little autoupdating spread sheet thing... on the mac its called numbers.. lol. some prices are estimates.. based on prices right now since i didnt write them all down.. i figure they are within 10-20 bucks of what i paid.


this post will probably disappear if i do ever need to sell her :p


still updating stuff I initially forgot.. I think it's basically done though.


I feel like I've seen subs in the squares before.. where the jack goes.. sweet set up when you do it.. hopefully them facing eachother doesn't do somethin wacky like cancle the sound our. (wave and a trough)
As far as wheels.. I'm pretty sure mine are just old American racing aluminum.. old school things. Are those outlaws? Lol.
Regarding the cables... Actually I had my dad do them :p annnd finally the tires were bought back in 06 by the previous owner.. this was just his weekend warrior so he rebuilt the motor in like.. 02 and put 20,000 in it by 2010 when I showed up.
