If you push down on the rear of your hood does it settle down, and look right? That's worn hinges normally.

truck left me stranded last night at 1am. :/
I don't know, it lost power or fuel... I tried to start it back up but nothing. starter was going and motor was turning but no fire. Had to work the morning so I had my mom get up and come rescue me. Towed it home with my new car. .

Gonna check the distributer later when I get home or tonight. Maybe my power to that came unhooked... maybe. Everything else seemed fine but the solenoid which was a little loose to the side fender. I need a lil bigger metal screws to make sure that's good to go.

Battery checked out at 75% so like I said...I don't know.

How did you make out with your hood alignment?

[1guydude]

No fwd progress yet. Its on my many things to do list with this truck. More of it is in my head than on paper or notepad on my phone...

Early or mid time this next week i should have something to share.

Nice.

Curious how the carpet is ... They seem to be the only game in town fro carpet, but I had a mediocre experience with them... it was ages ago though.
