    1990 F-350 4x4 Ambulance Revival/Long Term Build - "Betty"

    We had a discussion about one like this that was very similar. https://www.oilburners.net/threads/1991-f350-4x4-idi-ambulance-3-500-atlanta-area.88481/ I think the owner was on expedition portal.. the engine had decent IP and injectors but no compression.

    Another "What is it?" thread

    Do you have cruise control? F2TA-9D780 is a cruise control switch for a Bronco F2TA-9D862 is the one in your photo . (sorta close-ish) Is there an empty hole up by the brake pedal? Just a guess..

    Wait to Start light (WTS) Light in the dash...Alternative?

    This is why I probably should not believe what I read on the internet. I had read somewhere that fuel sprayed on an energized glow plug cause the tip to crack. Hence why waiting for the WTS light to go off is important. That's for the information @The_Josh_Bear

    Wait to Start light (WTS) Light in the dash...Alternative?

    @Farmer Rock yes, I still have the factory wts set up @IDIBRONCO The dash wts light wiring looks a bit fragile. (back in the day, when I made model cars, to add working headlights, I added what were called "grain of wheat bulbs". These look like those) I thought I would connect something...

    Wait to Start light (WTS) Light in the dash...Alternative?

    (skipping all GP controller bypass conversation..) The little red WTS light in the dash is in my line of sight but blocked by steering wheel. I popped the facecover off to see what was in there.. and saw the incandescent bulb in the plastic cradle. Which wires on the controller activate the...

    A word about dieselkleen

    I often see auctions from old mechanic shops... with body panels, engine parts, tools, etc. I'll have to look closer and see if any have old trans fluid still in the can.

    93 idi with the e40d downshifts when turning headlights on!

    @dan-o Have you ever contacted the company that made your box? I called AEV (who made mine), spoke to a really nice guy, told him the VIN and he sent me a pdf with the entire electrical layout of the truck.. (color of which wire goes where), the whole deal. Made life so much easier.

    Installing cab clearance lights

    I took a quick look-see.. When it comes to commercial trucks, there are all sorts of regs for lights (obviously). Looks like if the vehicle is over 80" wide there are spacing rules.

    Installing cab clearance lights

    You could always just randomly space them across the front and have people wonder what the rationale was behind it.. because.. there must be a reason.. :) Don't the headlight switches on our trucks like to melt/short out when too much power goes through them? (Not that cab lights are heavy...

    another 7.3 glow plug thread.

    And here I was thinking I get a deal on my last order of Motorcraft FL1995 oil filters.. Now after watching that video, (and going down the internet rabbit hole), I am second guessing myself..

    Heat is turning cold... then hot... then cold... etc.

    I use mine as a poor man's RV. It has your basic set of tools for fixing an old idi, a few bags of charcoal, a grill, some camp chairs.. the bench seat in the back now folds out to about a queen size bed. I was told to always use the emergency brake so that it doesn't seize up and the cable...

    Heat is turning cold... then hot... then cold... etc.

    @andrewbourdeaux I have the same truck, but in white.. Regarding the brake light.. We do not have hydroboost. If you are at a full stop.. does the dash light come on after a consistent amount of time.. say, 10 seconds every time? then go off when you let off the pedal? Is the e-brake...

    Road Trips

    @Cubey Did you say you're in Quartzsite? I was just reading about that place.. Sounds really interesting. Part desolate relaxation, part crazy block party. One of the hottest places in the country in the summer.. but an inexpensive and relaxing spot to RV most other months. Except for...

    How to check for deals on parts..

    I am not advocating one supplier over another. If you have a good relationship with someone, by all mean, continue sourcing from them. but sometimes a deal is a deal, and a dollar saved.. is..pretty sweet. To find discounted items on RockAuto, find your vehicle.. upper LEFT corner of page...
