Which arms are you talking about? 44 arms? I'm starting to use the EDM more and I'm getting more comfortable. It cuts tapers, so no need for a ream.Quote:

nice!!! U got brakes now!!!
Mmmmm, disc brakes good. I still have a little air in the system, but it stops very well.
I also cut off the tailpipe after pluging it up and kinking it almost closed at 47. I need to get a dump pipe welded on.
It was nose diving pretty bad under hard braking, so i got some new Ranchos warrantied at oriellys with a 3 yr receipt.
It still will not start at the key. It will start up just fine if I jumper the solenoid. I have replaced the solenoid and the ignition swith on the column, but it still will not start with the key. Any thoughts?
Forgot to mention. The TSM brackets are nice and everything turned out well, but I gotta say that the instructions sucked balls. For the lines, I used all the hard lines from a 99+ superduty and the 2 soft lines from the rear of 2 different superdutys, drivers side only. No leaks.

hmm. With the ignition switch removed I manually pressed it down and still nothing, so that leads me to think that it is not something 'before' the switch, but something between the switch and the solenoid. I forgot to mention that in the previous point.
Test light reveals no power to the solenoid via the little red wire.
so you know which part im refering to? mine was broken down in the column and you could still push it from the top side. i think if you tear the bottom of the column apart, you should just be able to push the rod and it will start.
And John, I havent forgotten about your strap. I got them apart and it is in my truck. I can leave it at the shop, or call me and I can bring it over.

Are we talking about the same thing?
yeah i am pretty sure we are. but just because you can move it at the ignition switch doesnt mean it isnt broken.
one question, you can actually start it with the solenoid or just turn it over? when you turn the key on, does everything turn on like normal?
