Well, you never know until you try. But considering this truck was about to head to the junkyard (NYS requires CELs to be off for 50+ miles at inspection time), I would say I had very little to lose. If your skepticism proves out, you will know when it gets re-listed as a parts truck.

After all this, it seems I will be keeping my old pal for a while longer. In case anyone is interested, I solved the CEL issue. After several years of not being able to keep that derned light off, I was at a NAPA store, talking about my issues (those with the D1, that is!), and they suggested...

Sorry! No idea that happened. Thanks!

List of things replaced since 2013: MAF Stepper Motor. Throttle Position Sensor Brakes and most brake lines (D90 Calipers on front, with D90 Rotors) Stainless flex lines front and back. Copper/zinc lines from ABS to Rear. EBC Pads with less than 5000 mi on them. Fuel Pump and pressure...

How do i insert pics from my computer? I can only insert pics from a website.

It will take me a day or so to get pics. It's not at home. There is one hole in the floor: Drivers side footwell, just behind the footrest. Maybe 4 inches across. Will get pics soon. Sorry.

Won't start.Probably the starter, but I think I am done. List of things replaced since 2013: MAF Stepper Motor. Throttle Position Sensor Brakes and most brake lines (D90 Calipers on front, with D90 Rotors) Stainless flex lines front and back. Copper/zinc lines from ABS to Rear. EBC Pads with...

I'll give it a try, guys. Thanks!

Turn the key, and you hear various relays clicking in the passenger footwell, but the starter is doing a thing. I used to be able to just turn off the key and try again, and it would fire right up. Not this time. I tried playing with the shift lever, brake pedal, but nada! Starter is about 2...

Just to be sure, here is a pic of the parts. The ones you are selling, they are in good working order with no rust?

Looking for the plastic license plate lamp cover, and the handle that goes in side it: 1999 D1. Thanks in advance!

To whom are you referring? The only ones who referred to it, or discussed it, weren't whining. Take your insults somewhere else. Some of us want to discuss ideas and solutions.

I suppose the only way to prove that is to replace it and see what happens? So the next question is if you have one, and how much?

So, you think the ECU caused the engine to idle, right? Not that weak forward gears are from that? Did I get that right? Sorry, I am a little slow on this stuff. I am not a mechanic by any kind of training, other than from owning this truck.

I like the small block 350 swap idea. Is there a list somewhere of the things that have to be addressed when doing it, like how you change wiring harnesses, ECUs, etc? I can figure out how to bolt in a different engine. It's the electrical connections (how does the dash board connect to the...
