Well, the beast made it home 360 miles of tick tick tick....  BUT IT
RUNS!
thanks to Dan....  unfortunately, I will be afraid to take my scout to
NJ ever again.
as my sister said "don't drive antiques so far from home!"

the trip home was not with out incident, my truck tried to digest my fan
shroud, when bolts worked loose, then after dark my alternator decided
to quit yet the indicator still showed it as operational ?? pull the
battery wire and the truck would quit.  I cleaned up the wires to the
alternator and we were back in business.
average MPG 10.9 to 12.5, not bad I guess...  I'm also leaking oil due
to poor conditions during reassemble, you know those heavy downpours we
had you guessed it I was drowning under the truck.  so it looks like oil
pan may drip and the manifolds are burning allot of oil.  I'll worry
about that in a month, I've spent too much on the darn thing right now!

The lift looks Awesome!, as well as the roll bar.  thanks again Dan,
sorry for the headache....
