I looked at a schematic and it does have an oil pressure switch and also a relay. It looks like it starts on one power source from the oil pressure switch then the relay connects and also powers it at the same time or maybe the relay powers it at first then it switches to the oil pressure switch, I'm not sure. It also has a wire ran to a terminal on the DLC connector under the dash. You could easily put power to that terminal and it will run the pump then see if it starts easier but it looks like that circuit goes open when the relay gets energized. First schematic is with an ECM and second is with a PCM not sure what you got. They are similar. The PDF is the whole powertrain management in color.

Well
Thanks guys! I’ll look into that.
I didn’t know.

Also, the fuel pump relay has a jumper wire on it.... Can buzz that quick and see if it lights off right away.

I always thought the oil pressure circuit is just a backup for fuel pump relay. Shouldn’t be the primary setup.

Bought some late model 17s of Facebook. Colby had a set of Toyo 265/70/17 that were on his 2012 Dodge when he bought it.
I went to the Hurterite neighbour's and swapped the tires onto the rims.
The tires lifted the truck 2”.

Yeah we know. But there isn’t a rock chip on it.

Keep the mud flap-esque ends on it.

That's a very grandpa thing to say.

We wanted some weight for the back of the truck. Buddy had this water tank sitting around for years. Should work .
I’m thawing it out in the barn it has a bulge in the bottom of it from sitting on unlevel ground.

I get the rock protection factor Dean…you guys trucks get beat up pretty good on your road, throw some salt on those wounds and its hell trying to keep up w it all.
truck looks really good without them though.

Honestly I like them for standing on to get over the side of the box. They are strong… must be if I can bounce on them! Lol!

One other thing is Colby is going to use it for college and it will be parked on the road we wanted it to look a bit shitty so maybe some crackhead will leave it alone!?
Wish full thinking!

Got the water tank in the box.
Weight the truck before and after, added 500 lbs lowered the rear 1 1/2

No all our cows are close to home. Actually the only pasture we have is in the front yard of my house. Very relaxing to watch them from the front patio.

It was a joke, due to the water transfer tank.

Ha you seen the tank I use in my 77 for watering flowers?
