Thanks Dawg! Your advice was a life saver. The old oil pan is out and the new pan is in. Now I just have to reconnect everything I took off. That job really sucked.

It wouldn't have been so bad if rust wasn't falling off everywhere. I should have put it on the lift, but I didn't want that rust bucket infecting every other vehicle near it.

LOL I know what you mean.
I know you had your safety glasses on under the truck?
Rust really sucks when it gets in an eye.

Yep. It burns. I got it at least 3 times. I have safety glasses, but I've been wearing my regular glasses. With all the friggin boxes I have packed everywhere I can't find much of anything.

Do you know anything about plows? If I get the truck running again, it looks like all the controls were taken out of the truck. I don't know what I need to get the plow working again.

[DAWG]

nope, but im sure it wont be too hard to figure out?

You might be right Dawg.

It looks like there are 2 electrical plugs. 1 has two wires for power and the other one has 6 pins. It looks like just the controller was missing.

I ordered a 6 pin "Fish Stik" controller off EBay since it's a Fisher plow and I'm hoping that it works.

[DAWG]

yeah the electric plows are easy to hook up.
the all hydraulic plows are a lot more involved but are more reliable.
usually you can download the manual from fisher, just look for the model number. (I thinks its either on the top edge of the blade or on the frame)
