Re: pic of work so far

I found out where to find the code, it's on the control module by the jack, but it's on the backside of it, so I'll have to do some finagling to see it. I also found out how to program our own codes, so that's pretty cool.

The truck needs a little bit off rust attention, but for the age and where I am, it's really minor...beyond that it's pretty much drive and maintain once I figure out what is causing the ABS to kick in when the truck comes to a complete stop ( randomly )...probably a missing "tooth" on the speed sensor ring. That would explain why it is random.

Looking forward to seeing some shiny paint on that boat today John!

I had a taurus that did this and i found the best fix was to disable the antiSTOP breaks :D

Well all

My arms and hands are killing me !!! The top is done sanding and so is the starboard side and most of the port, just have to hit the lower part there and the bottom !!! yea i knoiw i said i was going to start with the bottom but I got out there and wanted to see how the transom was going to turn out !! And it looks great there is 4 chips that are going to stay in it !!!!! but she really looks great , soo smooth !!! the dash is great and so it the starboard side is just as smooth as can be !!!!! it really looks great , Jeff came over and helped me out I would sand and he was wipeing her clean after !!! then it was hit the ruff spot a little more !!!

Well now she is really ready for paint I got about 3 more hours left then I can paint !!!!!! Man cant wait !!!!! john

The exciter ring apparently is part of the wheel bearing assembly, so it'll be a bit of a thing to get to...nothing I can't do though. The wife loves the Ford, and I'm really liking it too ( more power! ) I got the exhaust parts for my Dak today and got the exhaust off only to find out that the muffler they gave me has 3" inlet/outlets and my truck is only 2 1/2"! So, I gotta bring the Cherrybomb back :( Hopefully they will have one in 2 1/2" for me so I can get this truck up and running again! I was so excited to get it done today and now I have to wait on a muffler :mad:

Murphy, the bastard, is over here John, so don't you worry...he's got 2 state lines to cross before he gets back to you!
