    Awesome!

    On a side note, I've driven trucks that had just run the night before that wouldn't fire up that quick on a cold morning. Congrats on bringing her to life!

    It actually didn’t shut down with the key ... had to stall her out in gear ... solenoid was sticking but I cleaned it out, rewired it and ran it some more this afternoon and now she finally shuts down. Now to change the fluids and get some new rear tires and take her for a drive ... will post vids of me learning the toothpicks

    Do you happen to know if your brownie (aux) is progressive? I think that there are quite a bunch of us old farts here that can help with any questions once you begin learning to shift them.
