    What's up guys I haven't posted much lately figured I'd start a new thread on a truck I just got. Was built by Mike babbs and passed around a lot. She's in decent shape for having been built 16 years ago or so.

    Ya plans are to restore it. Talked to Mike bishop already and he told me who painted it and he could fix it for me when I'm ready. Trying to get it started but no luck wiring is a mess. Thinking about bringing it to the show April 9th in turlock. Ya I know my buddy posted it in the other thread then sent it to me

    So I swapped out the harness last night still couldn't get it started. But for some reason it wanted to start this afternoon. Has a weird idle gonna get new plugs and wires to see if that helps at all. Also the fuel pump won't turn on without it being jumped so still need to check into that. But that could be my ecu since I'm using a 91 ecu in a 93

    Well got her fixed and running right. No more bogging or rough idle. 93 ecu had a burnt diode. Stole one from an amp I had laying around and soldered it into the ecu. Fixed all my issues. No more jumper wire or bogging down when given throttle.

    It's a nice little truck going to be getting interior pics today from the original builder he said he had about 6 grand in stereo in it. I'm not planning on going that crazy with stereo. But plan is blue tweed on the inside again and redoing the door panels so they're not hacked up

    So have a weird noise coming from the rear end. When I give it gas it goes away soon as I let off it comes back. Kinda sounds like if you have change on the washer but not nearly as loud. Happens at all speeds as well.
