Received my steps yesterday, got the brackets and boards installed. Having issue getting the wiring down the fender wells. Any tips or tricks? Thinking I may pull the wheels/tire & liners out.

Feed a somewhat stiff wire up from the bottom on top of the wheel liner and tape the connector to it, Or just remove a few of the black screws on the liner by the mud flap and feed the wire loom down from the top66F0C9A3-A909-4993-A402-5735E12DFDF0.thumb.jpeg.bbb7f45b17ae63410b90c4027b09a345.jpeg

I used a rod from a fiber wire fish.  Pushed that through and then taped the AMP wiring harness to it to pull through.  The drivers side was much harder than the passenger IMO.  I was able to push one piece of rob up from the bottom and thread another to that from the top.  That's what worked best for me on the drivers side.  Passenger I used one section of rod and was able to get it all the way through.

I used a fish tape I had laying around and sent it up from the bottom the route I wanted it to follow, taped the cable run I wanted to pull back down to the end of the tape and pulled it through.  You can buy them for under $10, it doesn't need to be super long.

      Mobil up another dime this am , $3.89, others will probably go up later. Any ideas on the reason for the increase other than greed? I've been working 14 hour days and haven't caught the news in a few days.

      AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional.     I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      True. My statement needs qualification. "For a shade tree mechanic, re-assembling the front engine to achieve a rough baseline timing of 0 degrees, as is approximated and indicated by common visual indicator mark alignment, measured with a human eye capable of 20/20 vision *with correction, I am reasonably confident that I have followed the outlined procedures/ prescribed methods for verifying baseline timing."   😉   In the end, the computer sets the timing, it's continuously variable based on sensor input, and the distributor only has a degree or two of physical adjustability intended for dialing in the final setting for cam ****** once everything is back together. But even that final value is acceptable within, I believe, +/- 3 degrees.   I thought my exhaust project was going to be a bear. To my surprise, the old clamps came right off last night, and I was able to unbolt all the hangers instead of having to muscle the rubber mounts. The old cat is ready to slip off the factory y-pipe. The rest is ready to come out with one or two cuts, and I've got a fresh blade waiting. I love living where rust isn't a thing.
