    Facet Duralift #40223

    40222 and 40223 are the same pump, but the 40223 has the Packard connector whereas the 40222 is bare wire. Pegasus Auto Racing has the 40222 in stock for $94.99. I have purchased both of my pumps (1 spare) from them with very good service.

    What is the advantage of an electric Fuel pump? Pros and cons?

    True enough. But would it be fair to say that the most likely cause of runaway would be due to injector pump problems?

    What is the advantage of an electric Fuel pump? Pros and cons?

    Changing out a mechanical pump alongside the road would be a real bitch. I keep a spare Facet behind the seat with the hose fittings already installed with a plug connect on the electrical side. Changing this pump is a 15 minute job. In addition to the other things said, in case of a runaway...

    US Gear Repair in North-Central Florida

    About a year or so ago, I read in a post that someone had a shop somewhere in North-Central Florida repair their US Gear box for them. I have searched and searched and have been unable to find that post. I will be in that area in a couple of weeks, and if the person who posted that info...

    Real oil pressure gauge

    Has anyone ever replaced the switch and modified the in-cab display accordingly to turn it into a true oil pressure guage? Should be doable, but might be more trouble than it's worth, but would make aa nice, clean installation.

    Alternators

    Here are a few pictures of my one-wire alternator from DB Electric. Hope that they are helpful. You will note that I kept the original alternator to battery charging wire and ran the newer heavier gauge 4-0 wire in parallel with this. I also found a replacement connector to the voltage...

    Alternators

    I too ended up purchasing a one-wire alternator from DB Electric, but because I am running V-belts, this was the model that I purchased: http://dbelectrical.com/p-4713-new-ford-truck-car-220-amp-high-output-alternator-1965-1992-7749.aspx As someone else said, the alternator needs to see...

    US Gear Surprise

    Your photos of the DNE unit look the same as my US Gear unit, except for the name on the switch cover. As I mentioned before, mine does not have the internal switches (although it has the provisions to mount them) and uses a US Gear control box. Wonder if mine was manufactured shortly after...

    US Gear Surprise

    Yes, my unit has this style of motor with the motor leads running in to the screw housing and connecting to the pins that penetrate the cover. These leads connect directly without switches, but switches could be installed as the box is configured for them. I would like to know if one of the...

    US Gear Surprise

    Sorry, meant "TDP" for time delay pickup for a relay where the output is delayed upon receiving an input. A 'one shot' relay is also known as a 'single shot' or a pulse. A relay that would suit this purpose would be the TRD-M from Wolsten Tech...

    US Gear Surprise

    Thanks for the information. The current sensing module seemed a bit much, as I understand that the screw gear has end-of-screw run on protection, so the motor current would never increase by much at end of travel. I have been in touch with a manufacturer of solid state relays that indicated...

    Carrier Lift Pump Mounting Assistance

    Thanks for the feedback. Since I have the V-belt arrangement, it sounds as though removing the vacuum pump will free up the necessary area. Would you happen to have any information and/or pictures of how you went about it and the configuration of the mounting bracket that you used? Thanks...

    Carrier Lift Pump Mounting Assistance

    I am preparing to make the transition to hydroboost brakes, and will most likely go the route of replacing the mechanical vacuum pump with an electrical one from a later model Super Duty. I have seen posts in the past on various topics that happen to include under-the-hood photos, some of...

    US Gear Surprise

    Í do have a brand new set of switches in hand, and the box has all of the facilities to install them. Would be the quickest fix, but if the switches are as problematic as seem people indicate, may be back in there sooner than I would like. I loved the box when it worked, and would like to...

    US Gear Surprise

    LOL. Understand your point. I tow a 12,000 pound 5th wheel at times, and the direct mode is appreciated tben even with the 4.10 rear end. At all other times, the OD engaged would be the rule. Much better fuel milage, and first gear actually serves a purpose LOL. There are nice little...

    US Gear Surprise

    Old Bull, I looked at it previously, but went back and looked again. I did see the mention about the difference in control systems between the US Gear and the DNE units. What confused the situation is that my box does not have the position indication switches mentioned, and the manual that came...

    US Gear Surprise

    My US Gear overdrive recently stopped shifting and is stuck in direct mode. After reading the many posts about this drive, I purchased a replacement set of switches and a shifting motor. I pulled the side plate today expecting to find a bad set of switches, only to find no switches at all. The...

    Duralift pump failure...? Its the ooze..

    The 40223 pump that is used in our IDIs is 7.25 inches tall, but that is without the fitting on the discharge, so you will need to factor that in as well. If you end up using the 40290 pump for the higher lift/pressure, it is 8.25 inches tall, again, without the fitting in the discharge port...

    Diehard Group 65 AGM On Sale

    Yesterday I found the Sears Diehard Group 65 Platinum AGM battery on sale @10% off, or $225.00. I know that a lot of folks have switched over to the Group 31 batteries, but for those that haven't, this is a good battery w/980 CCA. It's made for Sears by Odyssey, rebranded with the Diehard...

    3G Upgrade Question

    Thanks, OLDBULL, it will be as soon as I get a new plug. Can't figure out why they cut the wire that I need flush with connector :dunno

    3G Upgrade Question

    It appears as though you are right looking at the connections on the old alternator versus the new. Unfortunately, the alternator supplier cut this wire off flush with the plug. May have to source a new plug so that I can make this connection.

    3G Upgrade Question

    Finally installed my new 3G high-output alternator on my 92 F350 today. It works as advertised putting out lots of current at idle like never before. Only one small issue, the alternator warning light on the dash to the left of the steering wheel stays on all of the time now. I realize that I...
