Back in action. Checked the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge and I'm at 60psi at idle and when revving the engine about 70psi.

The electrical gauge seems to be about 5psi off or so.

That's the plan. I'm gonna try to put a few miles on it the next few days and as long as it's still running strong, I'm gonna do it.

I had some issues with my serpentine belt and so just fixed that and drove around the block- seems to be running ok. I plan to drive it more tomorrow.

There wasn't a shake down run because apparently everyone else got the Eck's. I did put some miles on it around town this weekend and things felt "OK."

Big thanks to Kinder who came by today and plugged my #7 plug wire back in and fixed my issues instantly. Sometimes you can't see the trees through the forest!!

Hoping to get a shake down run sometime soon so I can make a final decision on Moab.
