Another story in the Stovebolt Garage with a happy ending!
In both my trucks, during the "getting it started the first time" phase i've suspected I had a bad starter.. and both times I was wrong!
A fella can spend alot of time and money chasing down things that COULD be wrong.. in my situation, having a wife that gives me the hairy eyeball every time I say, "Well.. looks like I need a new <insert expensive sounding part here>" keeps me looking and checking different things before I make the drive to the autoparts store.
Congratulations on getting her running!
