    Bad 3g alternator?

The gauge...

    Windstar electric fan on short-wide radiator

    Just fabbed up the windstar electric fan on my short-wide radiator. Fitment wasn't perfect but it does go on decently. I used some steel plate to make up the size difference, along with a piece of wood :eek::angel: on one side. Using one of the push-in probes on the radiator with a...

    New switch panel

    Check out the switch panel I made today, to replace the thin crappy steel "test run" that lasted for years. I got tired of it flexing but it still worked, plus the way I wired it previously was too messy for my liking :angel: I used aluminum, drilled it all by hand - used a punch but one...

    Look What I Found In My Engine, Taking Bets!

    Anyone want to take a guess as to what this is? I'm sure I know but it might be more fun to have people guess. These are just two of eight ;Really they all looked better or worse than these two. Surprisingly there were only a few gouges in the cylinder walls, I felt bad for the old...

    UHaul Van Engine - No heat

    So I noticed there is no heat coming out of the heater core. The engine had plugs on the head/water pump so I removed them and put the barbs on for the heater - I'm wondering if something else is disabled or maybe a bad/wrong tstat could cause all the heat to circulate through radiator only...

    Trying to bleed the clutch

    I left the clutch slave dangling when I pulled the old engine out. Probably aren't supposed to do that but I never found info to the contrary either. Got it on new engine, the plastic has some play in it so it doesnt line straight up with the clutch fork but I got it on. Last night I sat...

    Odd grinding / chain dragging noise

    I get a noise somewhere in the front of the truck when going certain speeds. It isn't constant and isn't affected by engine RPM, but movement. Sounds sorta like a chain being dragged or metal on metal grinding. Sicne it isn't RPM related would it be wheel bearings?

    Possible T19 to ZF5 swap...

    I found a ZF 5 4X4 not sure if its a 420 or 470 for about 750$ guaranteed to work but is used. Diesels are rare in the junkyards around here, let alone a 5-speed Ford. T19 still works but is rough and since it looks like I will be rebuilding the spare 6.9 soon, why not upgrade to an OD trans...
