Ah, well that's GOOD to know. Since really 5'11'and 210! Uhuh, and not one once of anything but muscle!!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, I'm gonna time myself ya know!!!
The Super Dude lives. Took 4 hours total, not including parts chasing. What I found was the connector under the valve cover was half unplugged. The old harness looked good, but since it was apart, I changed it anyway. Man, where do these parts stores get their people? Auto Zone and Murrays didn't have the parts, so I called NAPA. The guy I talked to couldn't help me, so he kept being the middleman for one of their "experts". First he said he'd never heard of a Under Valve Cover wiring harness, and that no one ran wires in the valve cover. Next he said there's no such thing. I thanked the guy that was trying to help, and mentioned his buddy the "expert", ought to polish up on diesels. I felt sorry for the kid, and told him so, at least he was trying.
So, off to the International garage. Ofcourse they said. I like that place, plus I can drool over some big trucks there. After shelling out out the grand sum of $25.46, including a shim pack for the connector, I proudly waddled home, and went back to work. 2 hours later, everything buttoned up, then came the acid test. Damn it, it works!!!!!!!
Thanks for the help guys, I think I saved a bundle, and even learned a few things in the process.
Oh, one other thing, I pulled up code 1280 after I got done with everything. My book says it's ICP Circuit Out of Range Low, cleared the same, and it never came back. Oh jolly day!!!!
So, Greg, how much did I save?

Cool, the 1280 was because I had you unplug the ICP... No problem..
Well, for a beginer, not bad.....
The labor time for a job like that with the tools you had available comes to a grand total of....... 1.5hrs... If you had the recomended scan tool you could have gotten a few more tenths out of it, and if it was customer pay, you may have gotten away with 3hrs, so really not bad
..
BTW, I did recomend the dealer, didnt I?? International counts too...
Guess you were good with the original gasket, sometimes they will fall loose there was an issue with that on them.. Some guys would just super glue them in place
... But as you see it can be fixed right for cheap..
