    My '89 is dead, what's happened?

    Ive replaced three of them in the last ten years. They aren't expensive and you can still get them from ford.

    Leaking valve covers

    Rubber. I'm pretty sure ive over tightened them. I do have the triangle things on there too.

    My '89 is dead, what's happened?

    Is it a tilt column? If it is, there's a U shaped piece of metal in the key linkage that'll break, you can still key on sometimes but the throw isn't long enough to run the starter.

    Leaking valve covers

    This is highly possible as I was rushing getting it together. I'll re check it in the morning

    Leaking valve covers

    Alright so with my engine build I installed new valve cover gaskets. I haven't even hit 100 miles yet and they're already weeping oil everywhere. Is there some sort of ancient Chinese secret to making these suckers not leak? My valve covers are not bent or anything.

    Tach sensor

    @93iditn I'm cleaning my garage out and I found one of the spare psom's I grabbed when I was fixing my in laws truck, the chipset is good but the odo screen is broken. It is something that can be swapped out if you're interested in it.

    Injection pump time

    Russ doesn't build pumps, he always sends them to R&D, he updated his website to show that recently too.

    Oh boy....lol R&D makes good pumps, Moose makes good pumps, those are both the only two ive used so far.

    4 speed to ZF5 swap

    Only thing you'll need for the harness is the reverse light connector. I believe the speed signal is the same, but let's let someone else chime in

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Got my front end back together. Looks way better with the grille and valance on. Been driving it all week without them on and just a big ol intercooler hanging out made me look like I was driving an oversized Honda. On another note my glow plug controller just clicks when I key on, ive had to...

    4 speed to ZF5 swap

    As long as those rock bits are something that fell onto the plate from outside the transmission, its probably fine. Darkened fluid like that is just old fluid, and it doesnt look like a glitter bomb so thats a bonus. If you're going to go manual swap, I'd suggest that one.

    4 speed to ZF5 swap

    It makes it lighter. Some fluid inspection is better than none. Any debris will settle at the bottom, and thats where the drain plug is

    4 speed to ZF5 swap

    You could ask the $1500 seller if he could pop the drain plug loose, see what the fluid looks like. If its not shiny and glittery its probably fine. My transmission came off a truck with a big lift kit, huge tires, beat to hell, bad dual mass flywheel, dusted engine, so it was definitely...

    EGT questions

    Sent you a pm, Justin said he doesn't sell just the down pipe, its a wastegate housing modified and the downpipe combination. If I wanted just a downpipe I'd have to get a replacement of what I already have, which is the banks upgraded one. I found it on summit racing, but since my original one...

    EGT questions

    My probe is installed between 6 and 8, and I fully agree its probably a little bit of both, gauge out of calibration a little and restrictive exhaust. Still haven't heard from Justin, I'll try giving him a call again when he opens shop.
