    Fuse panel cooked

    I would get another fuse box and remove all the wires and pins from it, they are just held in with little tabs you can pry back and pull the wire and pin out. Then take your burnt fuse box and do the same but transfer each wire over and any burnt ones you can splice with the extra wire that you...

    What is the resistance of the wavy shunt on the GPR controllers?

    These truck did come with the option of dual alternators which would have enough amps to get the charging voltage up to 14v and ford would of tested this scenario and figured 16v is the limit these plugs can handle. Keep in mind also that your pcm is monitoring the current the plugs use to...

    What is the resistance of the wavy shunt on the GPR controllers?

    Keep in mind your pcm does compensate for the higher system voltage, your glowplugs are self regulating and draw about half the current that these idi glowplugs use. The idi glowplugs are 0.25 ohms cold each, that’s around 300-400 amps (depending on battery voltage) initial current and will...

    Wanting to add additional brake lights... Can I just tap the existing circuit?

    Highly recommend you do NOT add lights onto the factory wiring, these trucks have enough issues with switches burning up from just the stock lights I wouldn’t add anymore to it. Use the relay and run a separate fused wire from the battery for your lights.

    Severe duty fan clutch

    The bushing is the hard part of the swap and anyone with a decent lathe could make them, all I have is the little 7x12 Chinese lathe and I don’t think I could make them on there. The control part is cheap and easy even going beyond just a switch, an Arduino, sensor and a few other parts and you...

    Severe duty fan clutch

    I did, use a 6.4L cutch and control it how you like it, does require a threaded bushing to be made to run it though.

    Tank Selector Switch Blowing Fuse

    A guy on Facebook just bought a switch, not sure if this will help. Apparently it’s still available through Ford.

    Tank Selector Switch Blowing Fuse

    It is possible someone switched the plug ends and used the wrong switch as most part stores won’t have the diesel one and say the gas one fits all applications which is wrong. When I converted my 95 460 truck over to diesel I used a gas switch as I couldn’t find a diesel one, later when I found...

    Tank Selector Switch Blowing Fuse

    You have the wrong switch, the gasser and diesel switches look the same but the internal contacts are different between them. Your short is the switch! Now you can either find the right switch or remember when you want to switch tanks just turn the key off first.

    Tank Selector Switch Blowing Fuse

    So with the fsv disconnected, and you flipping the switch with the key OFF the fuse blows when you turn the key back on?

    Tank Selector Switch Blowing Fuse

    If someone swapped the fuel selector switch out and put a gasser one in, it will blow the fuse every time you switch it. To check this easy, replace the fuse, turn the key off, switch it over to the other tank, turn the key on again. If the fuse is good still you have the wrong switch, if the...

    Things that go bump // Back up camera recommendation ??

    I used the emblem off of a newer truck with the camera in it, also running a 8” Android deck. I found that the ford camera has a wider lens and better light pickup than the aftermarket cameras. Ford camera testing in the living room Aftermarket camera testing in the same spot and...

    Front tank sending unit.

    Those pictures were from 3 years ago, my brother has that tank which we modified a front gas sender to work in it (for a gas truck) all we did was straighten the pipes a bit and rebent the sending unit arm to reach the bottom and top of the tank...

    My truck will never see 400000 Km

    This was a deliberate thing done by Ford for no logical reason that I can think of, all digit segments are paralleled together (all too segments are connected to one wire, all right top segments are connected to one wire ect...) So Ford deliberately got the LCD made with the last upper left...

    Brake Upgrades

    From the research I have done you should be able to swap front knuckles from a 13 axle over to the older axles, the rear will need the cast plate that the ebrake shoes and caliper bracket bolt to. All 4 corners will need the 13+ calipers, caliper brackets, discs and pads. For me the autowrecker...

    Project Big Blue

    If you put a switch on the shift solenoid 1 wire and turned it off after it got into 3rd,the trans wouldn't be able to down shift (orange/yellow wire) Edit: you may have to also ground shift solenoid 2 so it stays in 3rd and doesn't go back to fourth when it tries to shift to second...

    My arduino gauge project

    The values are what I reversed engineered from a few different ford computers, as far as I know there isn’t any premade filters. The 10k resistor will easily handle the sensor wire being shorted to battery indefinitely, in the data sheet most pins can handle vcc+(0.3v to 0.5v) so say 5.3v max...
