Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Just an FYI, don't overlook grounds when looking for gremlins... here's what I noted:
All grounds on the fenders are bolts into an aluminum "pop-rivet plug" into the steel fender... galvanic corrosion? Not to mention they never removed the paint from the plugs before hooking the wires up! I fully intend to add a good known ground wire of my own between these and the battery, so I know its grounded.
The grounds on anything aluminum was corroded... badly. I can't understand how the firewall computer even worked.
Most of the ground wires were not soldered to their respective connectors... this took a little bit of work since the connections and wiring was already dirty.
After cleaning grounds and adding a few, the truck even idles smoother... I could see where they could cause gremlins, so don't forget them especially if you live in a snow/salt state.
