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

    Looks nice. Thanks. I don't mind some wiring but I'm trying to get away from mounting a screen. I guess I could rout the wires into my console where the screen could be stored. But I'm hoping for a phone one that doesn't have an app. that compromises the security on my phone or a rear view...

    Rebuilding the leak prone Factory fuel/water separator

    I had seen that the other day and plan to give it a try on mine. But I will also have a Racor ready to replace it if the rebuild doesn't go well.

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

    Been looking into a camera for backing up to trailers. I really don't want a video screen in my cab, other than my phone. The ones that use your phone all seem to use apps. (from China) that make you give them permission to access the GPS on your phone. Argh. Too sketchy for me. Why don't they...

    3-wheeelers are too dangerous and should be banned forever. lol Glad you got one. I hope you still get to use it.

    Fuel Tank Selector Valve common issues?

    Thanks. It sure does have a lot of good reviews. Mostly for Chevy though. Was it "plug-n-play" with all the connections for you?

    Schroeder valve leaking after I shut off my truck

    You can get a pack of them at Tractor Supply or Walmart, etc. for a few bucks. And the caps that have a built-in installer/remover. Worth a shot. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/slime-short-valve-cores?cm_vc=-10005...

    Schroeder valve leaking after I shut off my truck

    I would suspect that they are all the same? I'd try one from any other wheels I had laying around. Only takes a few minutes to try (assuming you have a way to remove/install it.).

    Fuel Tank Selector Valve common issues?

    Where did you get the new FSV? I need to replace mine one of these days. And then maybe my sending units? And then maybe my tanks? lol

    $900? Hell, I'd give you $450 just for the grill guard. lol Sounds like you did good.

    KansasIDI’s 1986 Ford F250HD 7.3L IDI

    Sounds like you've got a handle on it. I hope you get it dialed in how you want it. That grill guard with uprights is cool as hell. The things I don't like about mine are the 65mph speed limit (C-6 auto.), the engine noise in the cab, and the rough ride (according to my wife and my to-go coffee...

    i.p. tech question

    RussRepair stops in here regularly. @typ4 And he has replied to my messages here. (not instantly, he's a busy guy) That's why I got my fuel injection parts from him.

    Removing copper seal

    I was able to get mine out with a dental pick. But if that didn't work my plan B was to find a long lag bolt that had just the right threads to screw (lightly by hand) into the washer so I could pull it. Good luck to you.

    Cheap diesel fuel ok?

    They put red dye in it. If you happen to get caught (unlikely, but possible) it's a hefty $ fine.

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    I also found the ground to be finicky. I think I used the hex head bolt on the fuel filter head? And I had to wiggle it a bit to make sure it was going through?

    Timing Probe Fitment Problem

    Damn. Very frustrating, I'm sure. I don't know what to ask other than how are you powering the meter? I read somewhere here to use a stand-alone battery. So I never tried using my in-truck batteries to power the meter. Maybe that could help you?

    Replacement water separator idea

    Awesome! Thank you for the effort and good info. It looks tight but mine, being 1/2", taller might still work. If I can still get at the drain. And the check valve goes on the inlet, which is front left. Got it. And the Filter Minder. Do you find that useful and worth getting? Your parts list...

    Replacement water separator idea

    Looking forward to it. Thanks. And I'm in no hurry. It looks like your 445R10 kit would have come with an R45 filter, which is stated as being 3.4" tall (+ the bowl). I'll have an S3204 filter, which is stated as being 4" tall. Hopefully it'll still fit in the stock location. The R45 is wider...

    Maybe a cheap ($10) inline check valve instead?
