[QUOTE="ElrodKTPQ_89, post: 1551951, member: 18710"] I decided a few weeks back that I've finally done enough with my red truck and it was time to get back to the car. I started off by buying oil pressure and 1 bar MAP sensors from Low Doller Motorsports. After getting them installed I got in contact with Danny at MFKustoms to see about getting them set up which led to him needing to update everything for me first. During that process we realized that my voltage had dropped pretty low and I wouldn't be able to fire the car up until it was charged. The next day, threw a hot battery in and fired it right up. So I moved it to the other bay in my shop and let it idle for a few seconds until it randomly died then would not crank back up. The fuel pump had lost power. Long story short I sent my wiring harness adapter back in to Danny for testing and sure enough a fuel pump driver had went bad. During the time I had the wiring disconnected I took the opportunity to put the car on the lift and address a few issues I had been putting off so fixed some small leaks mostly coolant, and got my exhaust fitted up nicely. Also had some shifting issues, wound up pulling the trans out to inspect everything and found a broken bolt holding the pressure plate to the flywheel. So now, I have finally fixed all the little issues I've seen so far and have been driving it any chance I get. On Thursday night I went to town to get some food and fill up with gas. Saturday I made some short trips and went back to town for gas before heading home and had been 90 miles and consumed 5 gallons of gas which was a nice surprise to see that kind of mileage. So far I probably have 150+ miles on it and so everything is going good. I have a couple of pictures I can add in here but mostly haven't taken any when I'm out driving. Just living in the moment and enjoying the car lol. [/QUOTE]
