Default Crank Sensor PITA!!!

You all will be happy to know my Crank sensor crapped out.
Man what a PITA to change!
1 1/2 hours later of what looked like me makin love to the engine and its changed.
My arms are pretty scraped up though...
I had forgotten how heinous they are to change. Thank the lord my truck doesn't have an EGR.

Big Red's back on the road!

It won't run or if it manages to run it won't run worth a crap. Think of a vehicle that actually has adjustable timing and imagine turning the distributor about 20* bdtc. That kind of bad.

It makes it sit in your driveway for a few weeks as a giant paper weight...
No spark = no run
