The man will not be forgotten!
My thoughts are with his wife and daughter as well as the Diesel truck and towing community he was a...
Curiosity got the best of me so I double checked mine.....48.3 KOEO ....never dropped below 46.2 cranking and holds 48.9 running.....so I suppose I'm good to go for a while!

Well Homer, on the bright side----with only 2 jerkwater stations there should not be much bleed over for a stand apart satelite radio...should have your pick of FM freq!
Yea hear ya on the EB edition not being better rigged for audio.....
Yea Mel I thought about that later on and went with a GP relay just for grins and it has not let me down yet! Truth be told... the cube Bosch style never gave me a moments trouble..I did not get generic knock offs---these were heavy duty 40 amp Boschs..just wanted to go bigger to see whats what...
...double DIN unit that has GPS , is Sat ready and hopefully will recognize the steering wheel inputs for WW's Excursion????
Also in the meantime..WW is headed to Fla end of this month and ...in her words:angel: "would really appreciate the Sirius from her Taurus hooked up for the long trip"

Nice looking set up;Sweet even if they are from a ...Chebby!
Damm..where were those when I did mine???
Only real change to mine that is still functioning BTWnafter about 5 years or so is a change in the relay...the orig plug in Bosch style got changed out to of all things...a glow plug...
Best thing you can do is upgrade to the SD dual tensioner......don't have the part #s handy at the moment but just ask for 2000 up 7.3 dual and belt. Mod takes less than a hour!
I can post more when I get home if interested.
AHHH! lesson learned thanks Scott! forgot about the sec fuel filter having to drain back! ....won't make that mistake again!!
1,000 turns of your ratchet????I only needed 765 hehehehehe.....

Been running Rotella in my diesels since the mid 80's and even with 330k miles on my PSD I usually add no more than 1 gallon between 5k mi changes so I will stay with what works for me....all oils break down and become soot laden...reason I prefer Rotella is their proven soot control...
Truth be told Scott, ol girl is back damm near close to stock...no tunes and stock squirters...just the 10kmod and open air/exhaust and BHAF so even being generous at 225 hp on ol girl...isn't the stock 6.0 higher????
Goat molester says no need for more power????? damm speedo is too tight...
yea...ya did Mike! even pulling the drain plug that damm fuel finds it's way down to the crossmemeber and right in my ear!
I can't imagine trying to change that without first removing the drain plug!
Scott, of COURSE I read your sticky:D Heard from more than a few people to only use Motorcraft fuel and oil filters!
Fortuneatly I had a 36mm 1/2" dr deep socket for doing the rear unit brgs on my daughters car....I have seen a low profile 36mm socket on fleabay and elseware...might need a new...
The fender mounted relay is for the "starter"---you only have 1 GP relay...mounted at the rear like you see it. It gets it's 12v constant hot power from the fender mounted "starter" sol via the 2 yellowish wires I mentioned....as well as the GP relay sits on top of the GP controller...unless you...
OK so doing full service on WW's EX and found the wrong fuel fiters...Luberfiner but no membrane like the Motorcraft. and that bastidsummich HFCM that is surrounded by brake and fuel lines, and the drain plug is of course in line with the front drive shaft so no hex bit and ratchet......got it...
Hey Mike! how ya been? 9k...this thing weighs 9k :eek:
Thanks for the info and replies guys ;Sweet and don't sweat the hi-jack Homer...wouldn't be OB without one :rotflmao
A pic :D Hell.... Tonka saw it before I did...... Only difference now is the new set of Nitto Terra Grapplers I put on...
If memory serves...the GP relay sits on top of the solid state controller----it has a wavy metal plate---- the GP relay gets power from the fender mounted sol that also feeds the starter when latched by the key switch in start position.
Off that same fender mounted sol should be two...

Flaming pricks swinging on ballsacks....mind if take that show on the road:rotflmao.....I promise to give you all the credit;p
94.5 thru 97 OBS PSD used the 2 per bank....change was in 99 up...you can go to singles on OBS--almost wire for wire and I thought deeply about it but while price is actually cheaper...... time was not on my side.....
It's been a few years since I did the UVCs and cover gskts so it was no surprise when the ol girl started getting bitchy about cold starts.
Relay checked fine so dug into the connectors and found the culprit{s}....
So...unravel the wirelooms and found the ground and the shielding tape kinda...
