"New" Project truck, new member
Hi,
I found you all while troubleshooting my "new" truck - a handyman's special 1990 F150 Custom, 5-speed manual with a 302 engine. She just wouldn't start. Turned out that we had accidentally disconnected the ground for the fuel pump (oops) and her clutch was worse than I thought (i.e. worthless - thank God for synchromesh or I wouldn't have made it home). And the headlights kept blinking on an off as I drive her, and the driver's door won't open from the outside, etc, etc. So she's a project, and a learning experience.
I expect I'll have plenty of questions as I go along, and hopefully after I've been here a while I'll be able to help out in answering some questions, too.
Best,
- Roger
