    Trucks Runs With Key Off

    Good thoughts guys and thanks. I did the IP overnight treatment not that long ago. No Turbo Temperature Monitor although that sounds cool. I will start with checking to see if the voltage to the IP goes away with the key or with the motor quitting and go from there. Sooner or later all these...

    Trucks Runs With Key Off

    One more new trick that Lil started on my weekend trip. Turn the key off and she keeps idling for three full seconds then shuts down. The ignition switch is new, put in about a month ago. What else would cause this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel tank woes

    Towcat, Is this setup still working for you? Does it seem to gravity feed from the rear to the front even drawing from the top (normal location)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel Pump Mechanical or Electric

    I am suddenly in the market to replace my not so old mechanical unit. I would appreciate some opinions as to the pros and cons to using an original style mechanical pump verses using an after market electric type. Cost difference? Reliability comparison? Performance difference? Cost? If...

    Fuel Pump or ?

    Oh and I do have to keep a close eye on the oil as I have a good oil pan leak that I need to pull the motor for. No increase in level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel Pump or ?

    I should clarify, the mechanical pump isn't brand new, it probably has about 2,000 miles on it. Enough I would have thought it okay, but who knows... I am aware of the diaphragm issue, which is why the Carter pump was not powered up, since it is prior to the mech pump. Fuel filter was just done...

    Fuel Pump or ?

    Took the old girl on an overnight trip from Federal Way to Goldendale for a Sunday dirt bike race. About 200 miles each way. Truck was loaded down as shown in the picture below. Seemed to be running great. Slow up the passes, but not bad. I started to doubt my water temperature gauge that I...

    Would you explain how to get to and check the relief valve? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does the relief valve just pull out of the port where the line goes in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well today I finished installing the water temperature and oil pressure gauges up on the window column. I might need to re-locate the oil pressure sender. It is tied in with the oil feed to the turbo. After warm it drops to zero at idle. I also pulled out my rusty old parking brake...

    Battery Cables

    Many Electrical Supply sales counters have loaner hydraulic crimpers. Without an account I wouldn't expect to leave the store with it, but if a nice guy walked in with the cables (or even bought the cable there) and asked to make a couple crimps right there I bet they would let you. Sent...

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    So adding fluid makes it always locked up? Even adding a small amount? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    Has the idea of adding fluid to the stock fan clutch been shelved? I was just searching for the Thread, without luck. I remember someone selling one that comes on at 220 degrees. Are they still available? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sweet truck Dog Catcher! Advancing the timing seems to have helped, truck had noticeably more power on the way to work this morning [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I got my new batteries installed and while I was at it I put in the 'Bronco Graveyard' headlight relay wiring harness in. (Thanks for the tip Wes). I agree it is worth the cost just to plug and play. I also advanced my time about another dimes width as I have been thinking it was still a bit...

    Mysterious Starter Behavior

    Second test drive went well too! I think it fixed it. As a side benefit my fuel gauge seems to be steadier than it normally is. Time will tell on that one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mysterious Starter Behavior

    It is one of the connectors under the brake booster. Not sure how the insulation on the wires disappeared but I am in the progress of heat shrinking them all. There is another connector under it that has three or four that are the same. Hope this fixes the starter issue. Seems like it may...
