Smile Thanks for all the info

Hey everyone,
Finally got the problem solved. It was as most folks pointed out, a fuse-able link. Fixed that and it would still not start. Turns out there is a little piece of metal that is involved with the clutch pedal that had worn off (clutch pedal linkage). This piece engages something when the clutch is pressed in and allows the truck to turn over. My mechanic fabricated a new piece and the truck fired right up..
Matter of fact, my (new) mechanic was so impressed with the truck that he wants to trade me his 98 (2x2) dually for my 93. I'm gonna stick with mine
I'm loving it.
Next project. Fix the speedo and odometer
Thanks again for all the help. Beers, Atom....

I have habitually by-passed the clutch-switch on everything I have ever owned as soon as I get it that I tend to forget that there even is a clutch-switch on them.
