Driver side door stuck !HELP!
I AM ALIVE! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN. Yeah, I was stuck in the cab for a bit. Drove it over to my buddy's shop, he wasnt home at the time but came home before I passed out from dehydration. He was able to pass me some tools and water thru the rust hole in the back corner passenger side of the...- ISPKI

Driver side door stuck !HELP!
This is not so much a diesel discussion as much as it is an OBS question. The driver side door on my 94 is jammed closed. I was leaving a job site in my truck and the door wouldnt close on the striker. Known issue, has a new striker and I dont have it aligned quite right. Didnt really have...- ISPKI

2025 i.p. builder discussion
I'll second CDD. They seem more active on the Facebook group but I dont know who is actually responding on the other end, if its him or a secretary or something. I know he had moved his shop to a new location and it was taking a long time to get everything setup but I thought that was early last...- ISPKI

My first E4OD…what is the issue?
Big reason why the rear brake circuit is critical to the Transmission function. The TCM sends a signal current thru the rear brake harness that is disrupted when the brakes are applied, triggers the TC solenoids to aid in faster emergency braking. Clever system, much more so than other trucks of...- ISPKI

Original OE Starter Woes... getting tired
that welding cable is ~2/0-3/0 depending on how you measured it. Certainly not overkill for these trucks. You actually cant use a large enough cable to be considered overkill. The starters will usually draw ~200-250amps initially and the draw increases as the starter cycles due to the heat build...- ISPKI

Who's smarter?
The torque that these newer trucks run at is nutty and complete overkill for what they are used for 99% of the time. Heres my 94 with an absolutely massive oak log on it. This scaled ~17,000lbs if memory served. After loading this, I then hooked up to a trailer with even more logs, probably...- ISPKI

Overhead Gauge Cluster
Ive been doodling around with how to finish trimming this thing out and I think im just going to leave it as-is and work on a rev B version. The gauges running down the side is kind of annoying, easy to see the front two gauges (which is all I am using currently) but the 3rd and 4th positions...- ISPKI

Electrical issue
I had a similar issue in my previous truck. 94 f250. Had a constant draw that would kill the batteries if it sat for a few days. Ended up finding a frayed wire tucked up behind the aluminum pedal frame in the cab, under the dash. A small wire had pinched just so against the main ignition wire...- ISPKI

Overhead Gauge Cluster
Thats exactly where I am looking actually. Here is the initial design I sketched up with an electrical port and hinged bottom plate. What I could do is cut out the ceiling fabric and seat this right against the metal. That would likely save over 1/2". Then, shave the bottom down in the mill...- ISPKI

Testing the fit and mounting for the rough box. Still might take it off and mill it down some but the gauges fit perfectly, wiring fits perfectly. Just gotta figure out the hinged bottom trap door and trim it out.- ISPKI

Overhead Gauge Cluster
I am trying to figure out how to mold it to match the curve of the ceiling. Thinking i'm going to make an inner core of cheap construction grade wood like this 2x4 and left over CDX. Get that mounted and wired in, then plate everything in something nice looking like 1/4" oak or maple cabinet...- ISPKI

Overhead Gauge Cluster
Ya I am only really using it as a glorified drill press most of the time with some very light milling on the side, and alot of wood work. My wife has a small business making wood signs and a bunch of other stuff and I came up with a wood engagement ring box to add to her shop. I use the mill to...- ISPKI

Overhead Gauge Cluster
Ya know I was actually thinking about that issue. It hangs down about 3 1/4" from the ceiling and I can absolutely see myself smashing my head on it. I'm actually thinking I might put the assembled box in the mill again and cut the walls down as close to the gauges as I can get. Theres about an...- ISPKI

Overhead Gauge Cluster
So ive been doing some electrical work on my Slug, adding gauges for the turbo system and what not. I have always kind of disliked the pillar pods that people normally use and I have always liked the idea of the overhead wooden consoles made by Centurion. Well, I have an ancient bridgeport mill...- ISPKI
