    Starter Solenoid 6.9idi Wiring Question

    Here is your 1986 wiring diagram. It shows a yellow/white wire coming from the alternator, a black/orange wire feeding the whole truck and the alternator, a red wire if you have the trailer option wiring, and a yellow wire if you have the cruise control option. All of these wires are on the...

    Help! Vehicle Dies.

    But, he said he checked fuel and was getting plenty at the fuel filter schrader valve. So was I. I have a electric pump. When it would stall, I could leave the key on and had plenty of fuel squirting out of the valve. I took the guts of the valve out, plenty of fuel flow. That is what had...

    The rear tank doesn’t like to take fuel

    A piece of window screen folded over the end and clamped with a wire tie or hose clamp will stop that. We have a terrible time with bugs and mice.

    Fresh C6 Rebuild Shift Issue

    In my experience, if the c6 is fully drained, it takes about 13 quarts to get it back where it needs to be. That is when I would drain the torque convertor drain and pull the pan. I remember it's just over a full case of 12 quarts.

    Help! Vehicle Dies.

    Mine was doing the same exact thing and I started to panic. I too thought it had to be the injection pump, and that is a lot of money to throw out there on a guess. I kept researching this thing, and people kept talking about this IP will not work if the return line is clogged. Some of the...

    Steering Column Gear Selector Sloppy/Loose!

    Yes, they are the same. You may find it cheaper if you want to travel a little bit and go get it. I got that off the site www.car-part.com

    Wheel alignment on a dually, how is it done in the USA?

    Ok, that makes sense. Use a bungee cord to hold it to the rim?

    Wheel alignment on a dually, how is it done in the USA?

    So take the the tires off two of the rims and remount the bare rim so you can align to it?

    E350 GP Relay Delete

    No stator connection on the alternator is correct for a ammeter/guage cluster type wiring. On gas trucks they sometimes had a stator connection just to run the electric choke. Also notice in this configuration there is no connection on the I terminal of the regulator either. On the idiot...

    Is it a problem to have the positive and negative cables run side by side with no air gap?

    You can't use the frame for the negative? Short 2/0 from the batteries to the frame at the rear and then short 2/0 cables from the frame up front to the engine block?

    Rad options

    Just remember when you switch to aluminum you might have to change the formulation of your coolant. Some of that green coolant you guys use with the additive does not have any aluminum protection in it.

    High Current and Loose Wire

    Yes, that is what it would do. It would put the full 12v battery voltage on the field for full output. I am not sure if this is what happened, just a guess. When the alternator goes full field, the battery voltage is usually higher, something like 16v. But I suppose it depends on how many...

    High Current and Loose Wire

    Not sure what alternator you have on there, but if it's a more modern style, usually the connector has one wire that brings the alternator online to charge when you turn the key on, and the other wire is the feedback wire that tells the internal regulator what the truck's system voltage is, and...

    Wheel alignment on a dually, how is it done in the USA?

    They make big trucks over there just like your truck. You will most likely have to take it to a larger truck shop, not one that works on smaller vehicles.

    Here is the controller I am talking about.

    E350 GP Relay Delete

    What type of controller do you have? The one with the relay built in that is mounted at the rear of the engine? If that is the one, there is no need to buy another relay, you already have one there on the controller. All you have to do is pull the white wire off and tape it. This is the...

    Clutch issues

    Very Very common problem. You have air in the hydraulic slave system, and it's very difficult to remove the air. There is usually a bleeder on the slave. Sometimes it's just a hidden allen bolt. You can bleed it there as good as you can, but it still will not get ALL the air out. What...

    Wheel alignment on a dually, how is it done in the USA?

    Your truck is the same whether it's over here or over there. You take it to a shop, they put it on a alignment rack and set everything according to the alignment machine. You have a setting for the vertical plumb of the front wheel. That is camber. No necessarily zero. You have a setting...

    GP Operation Issue (1988 7.3)

    It's too easy to just use the solenoid already mounted on the factory controller. Cut the white wire and ground it with a momentary switch inside the cab, done. The white wire is what the "brain" uses to ground the solenoid to activate it. By disconnecting the white wire and hooking it to the...

    How Tall is Shower Head ?

    It's pretty much impossible to suck the tank completely dry on a vehicle that goes over bumps and around turns. Leaving a little bit in the bottom also leaves a place for dirt and water to reside. You also do not want the float to be bouncing on the bottom of the tank and get a hole worn in...

    GP Operation Issue (1988 7.3)

    I used the female part of this type of connector and crimped it on the glowplug wire. Full disclosure: After awhile I went to manual glowplugs. I then did not care if one or two wiring connections were iffy, the engine always starts with the manual button.

    GP Operation Issue (1988 7.3)

    I had the same intermittent problem. I found after I messed with the wiring plugs on the glowplugs themselves, it would start working again for about 2-3 weeks, then it would mess up again. I would go out and unplug and plug back in all the plugs on top of each glowplug, and again it would...

    Need to replace drain plug on 1356 t-case. Galvanic corrosion?

    Be careful. They are tapered pipe threads. If you get it too tight you can crack the magnesium case and you will have a constant irritating oil leak. I had to repair one for a guy, I had to take a file and file the crack to open it up, and the put jb weld on the crack and put the plug back...

    Seeking Advice/Reviews: TOB Brands

    The chirping is from the TOB sliding on the pressure plate fingers. It's not tight enough against the fingers. All hydraulic clutches that I have messed with, run the TOB against the fingers at all times. A lot of the factory clutch master cylinder rods are not adjustable. If yours is...
