Yes. Story goes it is a single family owned. Ran until it didn't then parked. Then son got truck running and it ran until it didn't.
I bought it as a crank no start. Looks like the son started 'modding' the truck (there was 140 HP tune in hydra when I got it) and installed the typical 18y Old kid stereo. I found the dash harness cut for the stereo, cigar lighter, and 12 v and the wires were twisted together by hand then covered with cheap electrical tape.
Best I can deduce the wires were continually grounding on the dash frame. That probably fried the gem. The increased HP and driving style probably cooked the IDM, main harness, and injectors. In hindsight I probably could have re-oringed the injectors and re shimmed them, but at 275K easier to replace. I have waaaaay more into this truck than intended but should have a good vehicle once complete.
Thaks to all your help that is!
