    PVC Fuel return rails

    Add in an injector that is stuck open.... Put it under a couple lbs of pressure too. I have a story about a plastic pipe, a Fiat, the US border, picking up the car for a dealer and ending up in secondary inspection with a tax bill and no money. Good project. Probably not the best material...

    Nozzle availability

    The average American, Canadian or European would be hard pressed to live out his day to day life without coming into contact with something from "Alibaba." Sad state of affairs but it's where we are at with globalisation. It's like anything else. The person doing the work needs to inspect the...

    Frame on? Resto?

    Pickups are default registered with commercial plates here. Even my brother's explorer ranger abortion Sport trac had commercial plates. I listened to a city council bat around the idea of outlawing vehicles over a certain size because they "encroached on the sidewalk when parked in...

    Crimp a butt connector on the end of the wire. Bonus is the next owner gets to ask what that butt connector is for.

    I hate unthreaded fuel caps

    Only way I can drive off without my fuel cap is to hotwire my truck. I leave the keys in mine when refueling. Why not add a tether? Does the RV have a door you could hang the tether around? I would think you'd have to change the filler neck to convert to a threaded cap

    Shifting problem

    I think that he's saying he doesn't want to downshift. Just go faster with more pedal. Turbo is the proper answer. Then intercooler and bigger pump. Might advance the pump timing a bit. Mine was a dog with the pump retarded. It's pretty rattly when cold now but has more pep. I should dig out my...

    Fuel pump location 1991 7.3 idi 2 tanks

    You're the second. It's common for our trucks to break off the showerhead pickup in the tanks and start sucking air at 1/4 of a tank.

    Instrument cluster electrical question...

    I don't think there is a specific voltage to look for on the tach sensor unless you are using the same rotunda meter Ford used. Multimeters are designed to measure at 60 hz. I would supect they would not read accurately at a different hz. I think any increasing with rpm voltage would be an...

    Door key works doesn't work

    Bumping to the top I might try some graphite once I get it apart. The thing is it feels smooth and no different between when it does unlock and doesn't unlock

    85 E350 random brake dash light coming on

    Yes they are a metal coffee can. Same one I have. That's not what I'm pointing you towards; just a clear pic of the tuna can. Look at the other component in the pic I linked so you have a general idea what it looks like. You can disconnect the e brake switch, etc and see if the light still...

    Fuel pump location 1991 7.3 idi 2 tanks

    Follow the hard line down from the fuel filter. Factory and it would be hooked to the mechanical fuel pump on the side of the engine. Don't know about a factory electric fuel pump setup. If it has an electric pump, you should get fuel at the schrader with the key on and not cranking. But if...

    Fuel pump location 1991 7.3 idi 2 tanks

    Fuel pump relay? Where is that? Since you were just working on the engine harness, I would check for power on the green red (or is that red green?) That feeds power to the shut off solenoid on the injection pump. Search for a pic so you have the correct plug. Turn the key to on and then...

    85 E350 random brake dash light coming on

    Tuna can with wires and one vacuum line. F has it on the passenger wheel well. You'll need to follow the vacuum line to find it in your E. Brake proportioning valve should have an idiot light switch in it that tells you right after the pedal goes to the floor that the pedal just went to the floor.

    Window electric questions.

    Looking at that wiring diagram, it appears the switch functions as follows Up, switch leg 1 to hot and switch leg 2 to ground Down, switch leg 2 to hot and leg 1 to ground. That's obvious I think it's easier to see what's going on by looking at the passenger window circuit. It's designed to...

    Dual brake warning diode assembly

    The engine harness is the wiring that is basically on top of the engine. Over the passenger valve cover there is a rectangular plug with around 8 wires in it. That should contain the water in fuel sensor wire. The sensor is located at the fuel filter near the front of the engine. Look for the...

    Dual brake warning diode assembly

    Does your brake light on the dash work? It could be triggered by the low vacuum switch, the e-brake switch, a switch in the brake system to detect loss of pressure. Disconnect all those things if you think you have a ground fault. Trace them through your wiring diagram and see where they...

    Door key works doesn't work

    One of my doors on my 86 has an issue with the door key. About half the time, turning the key moves the lock mechanism almost enough to unlock the door. When this happens, the pop up pops up but the door won't open from the outside. Opening the door with the inside handle fully unlocks the door...

    Won’t start after up hill battle

    Crank the line nuts to the injectors and purge the air when you're cranking
