    Suddenly no more headlights?

    Clean the corrosion off the dimmer switch mounting bolts, anti-seize and sock it down. Mine did it constantly until I did this. Fixed it.

    Turbo install

    First off, year of truck, and what kind of turbo are you installing? If it is an 088 or 085, things need to be aligned just right, in the right order, to go in smoothly.

    recommend headlight upgrade?

    This is the system Garbage Mechanic was talking about, looks good, https://cpaddict.com/bricknose-australian-headlight-conversion-kit/ I had a set of the Auto Pal knock offs in my Cherokee. They worked really well for the price.

    Does the CDR blowby need filtering?

    Another option would be to put her back stock, and get the dryer vent hose out of there! Russ or Wes might have air cleaner housings lying around for the ATS/Ford turbos, or watch eBay. Someone is selling the top half of the filter housing today, but it's only half of whats needed. Apparently...

    Does the CDR blowby need filtering?

    Your Amazon link is who I bought mine from. Seller is "Hippodeals" 29.64 with a little bit for Olympia. Mine came in a couple days from them.

    Just noticed you have a brick, H4 option is a no go....

    recommend headlight upgrade?

    Just played this game. I wanted to stay away from LED's at this point, as the cheaper ones technically aren't road legal. I went with a set of Hella H4's (which I guess are also not technically road legal, but not as blinding to oncoming traffic). Building your own harness is really easy, using...

    Bricknose wiper parking problem

    Check your switch as well. There is a Park function (believe pin 63). I put an intermittent switch in mine, found this out through trial and error. Schematic, same switch... https://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/pages/schematics/bronco-schematics/body/66-77-early-ford-bronco-stock-wiper-switch-wiring/

    Friend or shop near Index, Wa.

    I'm in White Salmon, a buddy of mine who ran 6.9's for his tow service has the timing kit, and will let me steal it, as he doesn't see many IDI's any longer. Was going to do mine this spring. Maybe an mini Oilburners get together-timing party....

    Yet another cold start problem..

    Installed a switch. 29 degrees this morning, cycled the glow plugs for 2-8 second cycles, and she popped right over.

    Yet another cold start problem..

    Not much time since the turbo, 300 miles or so. EGT's have stayed conservative, never above 750-800 degrees. All the glow plugs are brand new out of the package last week. I will put the Fluke meter on each individual connector, and verify a good fit on the spade.

    Yet another cold start problem..

    4 gauge cable, still struggling. I think it is time to Ohm out the harness, if that's ok, then I'll rig a button. I'm still kind of baffled why it fired pre-turbo, but is pissy post-turbo.

    Yet another cold start problem..

    I'm thinking that little wire is squealing a bit when I glow my plugs. I'll replace it tomorrow! Cold isn't very cold, yet. 40-50 degrees. Real Cold will be coming soon.

    Yet another cold start problem..

    I'm thinking about wiring a push button at this point. Hind sight being what it is, I'm an idiot, as I pulled an updated system out of a junkyard truck this summer, and chucked it in the shed, forgetting about it. Remembered that this morning, but I already purchased and installed the ZD1-a's...
