Mine does that also if it is left unused for an extended time, like a week or more.
Does what you say, starts and runs rough, then clears up and is fine after 10 - 15 seconds.
Runs great as long as I drive it every couple days.
Never sets a light. Runs a great as ever otherwise.

Yes, he'd be a big upgrade over what we've had. First choice is Payton though. Although... I'd take Chucky too.

fixed the P/S leak on the ranger saturday, old pump had so much end play no wonder the seals were going out and there was metal in the fluid. Put new lines on while i was in there..

Speaking of that, my buddy is all about me painting the exhaust and the frame to make it look pretty for the AACA show, that truck already is so clean you can eat off the underside, i don't want to go spraying shiny paint on it. Still has the factory paint on it.

Great looking paddock you have there!

Thanks, by next year this time it will have a real tire under there. These are just placeholders until I start the new Suspension and then Minitub the rear. I'll probably go with a 275-295 up front and 315 or 335 in the rear. It depends on how much sidewall I'm willing to give up. I don't want it to look like a Hotwheel car but I do want a modern performance tire.
