[Yesterday: 3.1 miles, hill workout in Columbus]<\/p>\n
The fuel pump arrived today and I installed it after work.<\/p>\n
I used the long truck to start the short truck (since it doesn’t have a battery).\u00a0 I had to jumper the starter relay with a screwdriver.\u00a0 But it did start and it ran fine.\u00a0 Yes, a running vehicle will continue to run without a battery. \u00a0 I put 5 gallons of gas in the tank and let it idle for awhile.\u00a0 I tried to move it backward a bit and then forward.\u00a0 It did not want to go into reverse.\u00a0 Forward seemed OK.\u00a0 I’m going to run it again tomorrow and then check the level of transmission fluid.\u00a0 The transmission looks like it leaks, so maybe it is just low on fluid.<\/p>\n
1 – no battery\u00a0 $100
\n2 – new starter relay $20 ?\u00a0 or maybe it’s the ignition switch?
\n3 – reverse problems (transmission fluid? If not, this is a killer)
\n4 – passenger side door problems
\n5 – holes in bed
\n6 – lots of dirt<\/p>\n
I don’t know if I can fix all of that.\u00a0 I was telling the wife, at least now I could drive it to the scrap yard if I had to.<\/p>\n
