    What brand steering gear is this?

    Previous owner upgraded things up front but I don't know what brand it is. It's nice heavy duty stuff.

    No fuel again

    Won't get to look into this until next week, so if anyone discovered a spot where their wiring insulation was damaged, exposing the wire to potential of shorting out, let me know where it was on the vehicle, especially as related to the wiring for the fuel pump. TIA

    No fuel again
