Default EX5023 LT5 Start-up

Well, Tyler is coming next week so we can try to get this thing alive again. It'll be nice to hear LT5 #043 fired up and running.

Tomorrow, installing fuel lines, brake lines, calipers, fuel tank/sender, battery, hoses and fluids.

Then, dash harness and forward lamp harness. Busy week.

Wish me luck......................LOL

Today's activities --------

* Remove rear bumper
* Drop rear suspension
* Remove old fuel lines (what was left of them anyway)
* Install used set of fuel lines
* Install fuel tank and sender with new pumps
* Fill transmission with fluid
* Check rear end fluid level
* Replace half shaft U-joint
* Install new fuel filter
* Install fuel lines from filter to plenum

The brake system will have to wait until after it runs. Maybe in a few weeks.
