Just wanted to extend a big thank you to the 3 fine gentlemen from up north( LiKuiD and his crew) who got me home safe and sound after my unfortunate ignition switch dilemma. The run got pretty interesting towards the end there didn't it? I'll post pics and video as soon as I can. Nice shots Gabe.

Been pretty good. Sorry about the knee. I had that done 15 yrs ago and I'm still going strong. Todays run went great untill we were leaving and my ignition switch crapped out. Got towed home so now I know what I'm doing next week.

What did you break now?

We were actually done and about to head out and my ignition switch died. Something shorted out. Every time I turn on the key the 50 amp ignition fuse blows.

I did finally come back with the 50 amp fuses you needed. Spent about $12.00.....

I love the last shot. We need more pics and videos me going through that and swamping my truck in the 44IN rut. LOL

I am assuming that you got the starter cables wet & they are shorting. I would honestly start there.

Theirs a contact inside the ignition switch keyhole that contacts the actual switch when the key is turned, but when he would turn the key it would also hit the steering column and arc out, blowing the fuse. A piece of plastic that kept the two separated broke off and thus, this happened

Sorry Gabe, I had to be somewhere. When the guys that were leaving offered a tow home I had to take it. I appreciate you picking that stuff up, PM me your address and I'll paypal the money to you. Next time we get together I'll have to buy you a couple of cold ones. Had a great time, looking forward to doing it again. Thank Will for his great guiding job.I'm looking for the cable for my camcorder as soon as I find it I'll get some video uploaded.
