I have the perfect wire for that , I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.I'll run it to the engine block..It kinda makes sense I guess since the whole throttle body is electrically operated..Too Damned much technology and not enough "OLD SCHOOL"... > DODGE..

My saturday got hijacked had to work from 6a to 3p and when I got home my wife needed to run some errands so needless to say no time for the truck yesterday. Hopefully I have a chance to sneak off today. I'm thinking I need to pull my gas tank again put some new fuel in it flush my fuel lines and swap my cam and crank sensors if that doesn't work its back to the drawing board. The problem with today is Sunday is family day for us and my wife doesn't like working on the truck.

98 Hemi if you need any help you can hit me up here or email me kylejwieben@hotmail.com it isn't as involved as I have made it. I think the combination of the dash swap with the fact I think this engine wasn't a runner when I got it have complicated things. I also think that my fundsalow syndrome kicking in hasn't helped. You just have to keep telling yourself its gonna be worth it when you are done.

George is a huge help and probably a better resource for wiring. Any body conversion stuff I can let you know it what I did on mine.

George the pickers show could be good I mean if they want to come clean your yard and pay for stuff let them. Unless they try to low ball you then stick to your guns if its something worth anything its great advertising to other potential buyers.

Gotta take care of that baby..I got you're card yesterday "Tell Lasey Thank you" .
Maybe a break for a day or two away from the truck wouldn't be a bad thing..You'll get it..

That might give you enough time to save for extras like headers , Cam , Super Chip , etc.... I have never got a good deal on anything I had to buy without taking the time and patients to shop around and wait for a better deal..
Good luck in school , maybe one day you'll make enough to buy a nice Hemi Ram .. The only way to come close to the satisfaction of driving the one you build , is knowing you can "afford" one Dodge did..
I got over the Italian Funds a low and now I have that Chinese one "Dragin ***"...I gotta give finding the problem a break for a couple days.I'm out of places to look and things to look for , Keep in touch..

Yea im hopin to upgrade the cam at least before i put the hemi in. And superchip sometime later on. This truck has just been my toy for the past few years and gets parked for the winter. So ill have all winter to get it in and hopefully working for next summers trip down to the Mopar nats in ohio.

And thanks hopefully school goes well then i can go write for my ticket and start savin up again for my swap next winter.

I wish I could do headers but the drive shaft for 4x4 gets in the way. I'm thinking programmer CAI and shorty exhaust is as crazy as I will get. At least till I can afford to put a turbo on it.

On a realistic note I'm going to the parts store tomorrow to swap my sensors. I will update with my results.
