You can read about my issues Here,

I order a remote mount PMD from Pensacola Diesel for $279 to try and fix the problem.
The new PMD came with a 6′ extension cable, Resistor, Heatsink, zip ties and the new PMD.

The 6′ cable is the key to making this a 10 min fix on the truck.   I left the old PMD in place and simply disconnected the harness cable (the hardest part) and Plugged it in to the new harness extension. I ran the new cable down to the bumper (making sure that it clears all moving or hot parts).  I dropped in the resistor, bolted the new heat sink/PMD to the bumper, and plugged in the harness. I then turned the key and it fired right up.  I have put about 100 miles on the new PMD and have no problems yet.

Took about 10 mins total.

I hope to write a new post soon with pictures and more details.

My coworker just got invited to be in this exotic car run and what can i say? I am jealous. He had an awesome time and seeing videos ignited the spark I had for racing. Since I was traveling so much I had put my wanna-be racing hobby on the back burner. Now that I am back int he good ole’ USA I want to get get back in to it.

I have renewed my membership in NASA and SCCA. I will start my BMW CCA again soon.
I see that NASA has a HPDE near me in 2 weeks. I am trying to get away from my House project to go run a few laps. I guess we will have to see how many projects I can fit in to a 24 hour day.

I would love to hear from any fellow racers or racer wanna-bes.

I bought a new car… well it is a new car to me. It is a 1988 BMW 325is (e30 body style). After just a few days of driving it, I can tell you I love this car. It needs some paint and body work and a few mechanical tune ups, but the car is in in great shape for a 1988 with 188,000 miles on it.

Here is the video of the car.
