Took the white wire straight to 12 volts and it does the same thing. Starts then dies right after. I have no clue.

That's what I'm thinking. Its connected. I guess I'll pull the cap and see what's going on there.
If you don’t have rpm signal that’s likely your problem. It won’t start at all if you had low voltage when cranking.

Makes sense. I'm digging into it now.

So I've got a code for distributor noise. Cleared it and nothing. Dist looks fine and I checked the connectors and they seem ok. Resistance checks out. I'm lost at this poin . Tried playing with grounding too. Nothing.

Yeah and I went through the manual to make sure it was all correct. Something tells me the distributor isnt acting right. Odd that it could even be possible being that it's got an hour run time on it.

Not at the moment but I'm thinking I should order one anyway. Insane to think a fuel pump and a dist went bad after a year? Still reading 0 rpm. Did tons of grounding and insulating tests and got nothing.

Do you have a separate tach? Wondering if you see that move at all?

I dont. Wishing I had one now. It's just odd that it worked fine before.

Just got off the phone with fitech. Got a few things to try. If I take the blue wire plug out of the distributor and strike a 12v source on it I should see an rpm reading which will narrow down the problem. Another thing I need to do is ground the unit to the negative side of the battery. Right now I have it running through the block which may be too much resistance. They also recommended shielding the blue wire. I'll have to find some shield for that.
In the down time yesterday I started the crossmember mounts. I'll probably taper both sides and I bought gussets to weld in as well.

Got it. Program was corrupt. Reprogrammed and right to life she goes. One problem down!
Man what a bitch

Right. I guess over the span of 2 years the program went bad. That was a lot of work and head scratching. I guess I'm a lot more familiar with the system now.

Got a project done today that will enable me to get shit done on the truck. Finally put 220v in the garage. I had to completely re do the laundry room electrical which is where i could snag 220 from so its been an ongoing project. Sure is nice to plug right in now instead of 2 mile extension cords.
First weld in 2 years. Ill take it.

Took the exhaust of . Wasnt super happy with it in the first place but it only needs minor mods to be good. It needs to ket kicked up a few inches to make the tcase crossmember easier to make and itll also keep it from hanging so low like it used to. Ill also wrap the other side.

Mocked up the crossmember mounts too today. Trying to envision what itll look like. Ill be making a few cuts to make them more sleek to the frame soon.

Finally got around to doing something on this turd. I guess school, home projects and a baby burned up some time. Anyways. The tcase crossmember is nearly done. Im going to add another bar to the back but i need to make sure i clear the shifter cable and the future driveshaft. Also put some air in the tires and ran it for about an hour. Rings arent even seated yet lol. I decided im going to shit can the front clip all together...round headlight setup coming. Also a new radiator and fan set up. Current is ghetto and barnicle filled.
