Hey Jon, any of those have the weight dist mount on the tongues still? I got a hitch and bars cheap, but no mount for the tongue.

I think there might be. I will have to look next time Im at my partners place. He might have some laying around. DO you need the one with the chains?

Please!! Trailer is drilled for them too. I just have the arms and hitch.

Double feature, 2 circular firing squads,,,,,,,,,,

I have DL the manual, so good there.

I read a how to on the TPS setup on some forum, said .660 for my year at idle. (it jumped around)

Wasn't the .528 with throttle closed, .660/.710 at idle? Got to find the short first.

Sure, I use the tester you have but sure I won't get to it before my trip.

My 3 point came in yesterday. Looks pretty good for $275 shipped.

Well, showing code 22. TPS open circuit or ground. Now to trace that.

DL a manual.

Pump for sure. I have 175 on my stocker, no issues.

5411
I have not graphed it. Would like to know the WOT reading as mine just goes to around 3 something volts.

I have read about the boot, TPS and the TBAP sensor being issues. Wiring all looks fine so far and tested done on the SxS using its voltage. Saw a really nice writeup on the TPS and the years jump around on voltage, 08 was .660 though.

Do not know how to test the TBAP or check codes?

5412
I just taped the yellow wire to test, was very close but now set at .660 at idle. I may make a harness, thx.

Runups are in neutral so far, in gear is no diff though and very hard to move with the surging.

39psi, throttle body looks ok but will clean. No broken wires which I understand can be common.

Intake boot is solid, no cracks but something is up with the bolts. Really hard to get out, but they look clean. Will chase the threads and use antisieze.

Fuel is fresh as of yesterday and have let it idle enough to flush what was in the lines.

5415
Just pulled the TB off which lets me get to that. So far I am baffled.

5416
Having an issue with this critter right now. Ran fine until I parked it and put fuel it.

Starts fine and idles but surges really bad off idle and only gets to around 1500rpm. No better the farther you push the peddle and a backfire now and then.

Drained the fuel and put in fresh, no better. From searches I checked the TPS and fuel pressure. 

Seems the intake boot can go bad and think Ken mentioned this too. Sometimes wires to the TPS or air meter go bad, so will check those next.

As posted above my lot is considered "vacant land" until you have a plan in place (pay money).

I just read over the grading permitting and it seems pretty easy with just basic details needed. Can even fill out and submit on line.

Just rented a Crysler 300 for a couple days a Dworld. There for 6 days, 3 days for the park. Beach and fun for the first couple and 1 day of nothing. However I think the 2 water park may come into play then.

Yep, drones are changing everything. When I worked unless you could see something from a normal public view it was fruit of the poisoness tree.

Now between that and satellites unless you have tree cover you are boned. Snoopy neighbors don't help. Now I have a good idea who it is, already been warned this guy is a little flaky since he wanted to buy all the land I have and others.

Found a generic suspension, swivel mount with chair for under $400, so may go with that. I was looking at getting a better chair anyway with swing up armrests.

So now the fun begins with the county. Someone turned me in and I got a warning to remove the container from "vacant land". Even sent a nice picture of the container, my truck, tractor and trailer parked outside. Must have been early morning from the lighting and the doors are still closed.

I have till mid next month and hopefully getting a grading permit with some kind of site goal will satisfy the vacant land issue.

We can all drive them on the street,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, legally though?

Jon, I do not miss the days of doing those on the weekend turn arounds. We had around 10 trucks and 40 trailers, was always something! They used to send me to a Bud plant in Fairfield to weld driveshafts, saving the price of a tow.

Yellow line a future pond dam?

Little yellow line is as far as I got with the DMax awhile back. The blue line is a good little runoff I will need to culvert for the rains.

Talked to a surveyor today who is going to do my land when ready. He suggests I just get a grading permit for the roads for now to keep issues with the county down.

I have a wicked wheel for mine, just sitting still. Supposedly able to put in on the truck (watch youtube)

Duramax Tuner has a couple of drop in for under $2K, sure there are more.

If you just rebuild I understand there is a SS slotted wheel for the VVT that works better.

That looks pretty clean from what I have seen (pics)

On the road, I got about to the green line this weekend.

Think I will have to add a culvert about where the blue line is.

Next long trip, late July I will finalize the pad area so I know for sure on the road. Hopefully have the grading permit so I am open to dig more.

Thought I broke the thing on Sat morning. Was going to work on the road and it stopped moving. Front wheels spun so the 4x is working OK. Then I look back and see I left a arm down on the BH and had been dragging it for about 150ft.  :rolleyes: It did feel like a brake was on or something (had been checking for that 150ft) Ran so much better after I lifted it back up! (put it down as I swung the BH arm over for parking overnight)

I got using the bucket pretty fast. Found the auto leveling is not the way to go too for this work. This thing will push good, but the bucket rolls over rocks way to easy. Ending up moving many by hand.

Backhoe will take some getting used too, never really learned to use one. A must for the flattening the off camber road.

Kub ran great this weekend but the seat mount is shot.

It swivels OK is about it. Suspension is rusted solid, would be nice but not really needed, yet.

Finally got the slider loose and now it wont lock back up. Was so close I was getting cramps working the HST (a god send for its use!)

Seat is OK, but the arm rests are solid and folding might be better.

If I move more than 50 yards, yes. That will be the road easily,plus cutting a pad on the hilltop.

Haven't found anything the kub can't handle yet.

Cut about 500ft of road this trip, got the fan installed but the controller didn't show up. Fan moves lots of air, cutting the voltage down a little.

Getting used to the Kub, backhoe got a workout. Bucket worked OK but just rolls over the bigger rocks. Have to get the land surveyed for a grading permit since I'm moving so much.

Got about 500 ft of road started pretty much close to the scetch I made. Finshed up past the trees on top. Cooked burgers in the bucket (bad pic).

Set mount is shot on the tractor. It spins, but has no suspension. Wont stay back just slides around. Was getting leg cramps from sitting to close.

Built the fan housing and installed a 12in, 12v auto fan. Framed in 2x3 which should clear the vent mounted in the door with longer screws. For this the nylon mounts work great.

Only thing that has not come for it is the timer, so I have to wire it into the solar panels directly for now. That or split the panels output, both are 100 watt.

Going to play with lighting at night and get the road up to pad area roughed in at least.
