    stupid question # 23423455676

    If you're making your own harness, the only thing I would be careful of is with the wires going from the controller to the glow plugs. I found out the hard way that the glow plug controller is very sensitive to how much resistance is read through those wires to ground...with too much or too...

    what is the point of loops in the brake lines?

    As the others have said, I'm pretty sure it's to accomodate for flex between the body and the frame. It's really rather surprising how much the frame flexes on these trucks in relation to the body, especially if the body mount bushings are worn at all. Look at the lines on the body compared to...

    US Gear Surprise

    If you end up doing this, PLEASE post results! As someone who has a late-model U.S. Gear overdrive unit without any of the electronics, I'm VERY interested in what you come up with ;Sweet

    The coveted 6.9 block

    I had a feeling that was the case, and I'm suspecting that that alignment tool's getting more and more difficult to find...but, again, can replacement jets even be found? IIRC the press-in jets get destroyed on removal...

    The coveted 6.9 block

    Do you know of a source for replacement press-in cooler jets? IIRC you can't reuse them, and the last I had heard, sources for new ones were drying up...but, if there's a reliable source, that could be a very good thing ;Sweet

    Check your Nuts!!

    I'm actually pretty religious about it...I'll check the lugs at 50, 100, 150, and then the next two or three fuel-ups afterwards. Knock on wood, I've never had a lug come loose, but it's always been a concern for me...

    The coveted 6.9 block

    Congrats on finding one ;Sweet If you're going to be going through the engine anyways, this may be a moot point...but, one thing to keep in mind is that an engine in an ambulance chassis may be low miles, but probably very high hours, and much of that spent idling. That might be a reason to...

    TDI Ford Explorer

    Looks like a fun project ;Sweet If memory serves, the ALH computer requires that the factory VW instrument cluster be connected...I want to say that it's an anti-theft feature, but I don't know for sure. Are you going to graft the VW instrument cluster into the Ford dash, or do you have...

    Sending unit for rear tank, Are they avaliable?

    For what it's worth...I haven't tried this yet, but someone posted this a while ago and it may be worth looking at...and, actually, given the OEM design, I'm wondering if they can rebuild them to work better than OEM? http://www.tristarrradiator.com/Services%20Page/Services.html

    AWESOME 4x4 bucket truck

    I was thinking the same thing :D with all the idling it's certainly done, I imagine you'd want to go through the drivetrain before relying on the drivetrain for a long trip, but this would make a great project rig ;Sweet

    I'd be happy to, but as someone put it, I have my own alligator pit to deal with this weekend :rotflmao but hopefully the end of the weekend will see a big milestone on my project ;Sweet

    Centurion Bronco build

    The attachments and pictures are working fine on my computer, and I find it far easier see and to browse through the posted attachments than it would be if I had to click a link to an external site as the only way to look at the pictures. With all due respect, I don't know why they're not...

    Need a few tips? 6.9idi

    If you're going to reuse the clutch and flywheel that's with the ZF5, IIRC the stock dual-mass flywheel can't be resurfaced. I'm open to correction, though; I bought a Luk single-mass flywheel and clutch kit when I did my ZF conversion, so I've never dealt with a dual-mass flywheel.

    WHAT COULD THIS MEAN????

    FYI that only applies to the E4OD...if you have a C6, the tach signal is not critically important. However, if you have an E4OD, this needs to be fixed ASAP, or else the lack of a tach signal can make the transmission misbehave, with the possibility of causing internal damage. As others have...

    Dangit! I would have jumped on the GN hitch and you wouldn't even have had to ship...that's what I get for running late last night. Congrats on the sale ;Sweet and looking forward to seeing this come together!

    Need a few tips? 6.9idi

    Yes you can use the ZF5 ;Sweet The transfer case will bolt right up to it, and you don't even have to do any driveshaft work. You'll need the transmission, the floor pan insert that goes over the transmission hump, a flywheel and clutch assembly, and possibly the transmission...

    a project i call, THEE WEE BASTARD

    I have to ask...'02 might be subject to emissions testing in California. I recall hearing that not all counties do emissions testing; is this truck registered in a county that checks? If so, is there any chance they might check the sticker and see that the engine's older than the truck? If so...

    Broken tank Showerhead question

    I thought he was putting rugs in his fuel tank? I was trying to figure out how that would benefit the fuel system.... :dunno (To the OP, forgive the tone of that statement...I meant it in jest, although I do feel like the acronym usage gets to be a bit much especially given that not all of us...
