    Fuel selector plug voltages

    I believe the one in your link is the same as this below that is half the price. This is the FSV that I used and will again (i didnt have filters between the fuel tanks and FSV, maybe the problem): https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08B3VCZVG/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A29CJJ2HZL47LM&psc=1

    Fuel selector plug voltages

    I just wanted to comment and say how stupid the fuel selector valve is. I have 600mi on my replacement and now it won't pull from the rear tank anymore. I guess I'll buy another and take a diesel bath.

    Guys I think I figured it out.... it was anti seize! At least it wasn't coolant, right?

    Coolant on glow plug?

    I was leaking coolant but not sure if it was into the cylinder since the radiator was definitely leaking, it's being recored now ($1100..). No bubbles or foaming in the coolant or combustion gases according to the harbor freight purple dye tester. The system would hold pressure after running, as...

    Coolant on glow plug?

    Any thoughts or ideas? Gotta be head gaskets leaking coolant into the cylinder right? I'll also take some emotional support if someone offers it.

    Coolant on glow plug?

    Replacing glowplugs today.. the passenger rear plug has a brownish wet sludge (coolant..?) on it (i snapped the spade connector off while removing). This is also the corner where the head seems to barely bubble and weep out oil while running. Another GP had a bit of oil on it, I placed them side...

    Would you recommend the Bosch GPs for the stock controller set up? I'm not planning on switching to a manual setup.

    new motorcraft glow plug issues

    I pulled 3 GPs since you guys got me interested. They're Beru brand from Germany. 1 of them tested at 1.1, but the other 2 wouldn't read anything! Is that due to them being bad or to my lack of multimeter ability? Edit: -looking into it further.. apparently a reading of 1 ohms means the plugs...

    Whatever happened? Did you pull the heads? Were they the issue? I also have small bubbles from the rear passenger head.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Email [email protected].. They're in IA. I bought new sending units from them, maybe ask if they just have the "shower heads"?.. Great guys and good price.

    Drum Brakes (no wait, it's good news)

    Thats an excellent write up on the drum brakes. Funny story: I bought my truck with a slight squeak in the rear while moving. Turns out, previous owner had left the parking brake pushed in all the way probably for years and the arm that engages it had almost completely severed the hub (the...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That would cause a lot of frustrated sleepless nights.. and nightmares. Just spray it all with bedliner

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I wish I hadn't thrown the original weatherstripping out.. it wasn't even leaky. Dang Chinese aftermarket products!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    A word to the wise from a dummy: if you're replacing both hinges.. do them one at a time, it would have been much easier to properly align. Fixed the door sag but the door still shuts hard with the new weatherstripping from LMC.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It sure is. So much time sanding, masking, etc Spraying is the quick part! I'm using Omni basecoat (it's decent) and Transtar Motor City Euro clear (decent for the price, though I'd recommend others). I used to work for these companies.. so spray gun is an Iwata LPH80(low overspray, low material...
