Nice foundation, your starting with a nice one. How is the drive train, suspension and interior? Looks like it was taken care of.

Took off my TPS to clean it and hopefully solve my 2000 rpm idle problem. Letting the ECU reset for a few hours while I take the truck to get some grub. Replaced the IAC valve yesterday hoping that was it, but nope. If it's still idling high after this, I'll start searching for a vacuum leak at the manifold gasket.

In other news, my new IRO double shear adjustable track bar came in today! Between that and the free Rancho rectangular fixed LCA's, I'll hopefully lose a little of that slight bump steer that I have. To truly fix it, I'm sure I'll have to replace the leaking steering box.

Replaced the ignition coil on my '86. Whoever thought to bury it under a ton of vacuum and air lines should be kicked in the nuts.

Looks like something Ted Nugent would drag behind one of his Broncos. Still, you get an A for effort.

Drive train is great. Drove it home three hours from Philadelphia to Frederick, MD without a problem. Suspension is good; it just has one shock that needs replaced. The interior is pretty nasty right now, but a good vacuuming and a few parts should fix it up nicely. Definitely a good starting point.

Got a can of sea foam to run through the tank as soon as my gas gets lower. If I'm happy with the results I'm gonna get another can and do the vacuum line and oil treatment too.
