Finally got around to replacing the start/backup switch. I have backup lights for the first time sense I've owned the truck, 15ish years. My cheap plastic made in a foreign country ramp collapsed under the weight, so I made some out of 2X12s. Tipped it as far as I could with what I had available. Wasn't enough, still took a bath in transmission fluid. I need to find or make a thin walled socket just in case I ever have to do this again. A normal socket won't go straight in and too much stuff in the way for a wrench. But it's done. Now back to other wiring nightmares.
He emailed me back said he was out of the office until this coming Monday.
Not that it makes it any less frustrating, he apparently was at a first gen dyno think in ohio setting records. Something like 840ish HP straight fuel/900 something with NOS.

We all gotta take a day off sometime, even if it means closing the shop up for a few days.
Sounds like a good reason to take the day off.

Actually I think he was over 1000hp with a VE pump.
Thanks Rug_Trucker for the vid....That was really fun to watch!
Ypu're welcome. Last friday 4 1/2 months later my IP has finally arrived. Hope it works.
No instructions, nothing in the box other than the IP and a gasket.
I dropped off my injectors to get tested. 2 were right @245BAR, 3 were at 235BAR. On dribbled fuel.(possible debris in there) I paid $100 and all they did was test them. Bite me! They had them 2 1/2 weeks. They don't do mechanical stuff, so why did you take on the job??!!!! I started tearing apart my Vevor turd pop tester. Found shredded O-rings in the big screw valve. Really crappy machining on the threads. Maybe I have O-ring crap in the one injector that dribbled. Replaced the rings. Need to tear the whole tool down as it is still leaking like a sieve from mutiple places.
Ordered some pop off shims from DAP.
Dixie Diesel, called them $60 a piece to shim and pop the injectors. Kiss my butt! They are too high. Blah-blah-blah we have to do etc etc. No you don't. They just got rebuilt shim them and pop them. NEVER MIND I'LL DO IT MYSELF.
