I had it running for 20 mins the night I got it stuck it just sucked to start.

Let it sit over night to dry and then I wouldn't even get a click from the starter.

New one is in there and still same thing.

Good news: got it started by bypassing the ignition. I took apart the little piece that tells the starter I'm turning a key and used a wire and shorted it to the battery.

Has a pretty nasty knock and it tells me I have no oil pressure but I just changed the oil.

Gonna try to make it home which is 90 mins away.

Wish me luck.

Home now.

What a terrible weekend, well atleast the mudding was fun while it lasted and atleast I made it home - bringing the truck to the shop tonight and I'm dying to find out how much it'll cos me haha.

Here are some of the problems I'm having

-Truck starts in 2nd gear and only goes to 3rd. Getting tranny code p1757.
-Gauge tells me I have no oil pressure.
-Doesn't start through the ignition - have to start it directly from starter
-Make a nasty knocking sound

I'll keep you guys posted.
