    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Changed my oil in the truck and the car. Also added a kiss of air to all tires since its getting cool and the focus likes to set off the tire pressure all the time.

    Is the bed supposed to look like it's flexing a lot going down rough road?

    Just backing into my parents driveway it causes enough sway to make the bed topper look as if it is going to fly off... lots of flex to these frames.

    Dash wiring

    I tried using the one I got from a 460 and after some research found the mag pickup used on the IP does not pair with the gasser. The tach housing looks different too. But mine is an 85 so I dont know how a brick is set up.

    ATF in fuel filter

    Fill a new filter with atf and install. Any type will do it. I used the left overs from filling my transfer case. Start the truck and let run until you hear a difference in the engine and then shut it off. Let sit over night or a solid 24 or so hours. Take it out for a spin and drive it hard for...

    Auxiliary Fuse Box

    Someone installed one to the right of my gas pedal (fuel pedal???) That was for the electric seats they added. Was just two self tapping screws holding it in. Not a bad spot. Unless there is stuff there on your truck.

    Are you seeing coolant on the driveway? Do you use SCAs? Last coolant change? With oil fill cap pulled is there a ton of blowby? Last oil change have coolant? Rad cap look okay and overflow full or at the correct level? Plenty of weird places to leak on these but if you are not seeing any...

    Aft-axle fuel tank access on 85

    Here is my transfer setup. I put hose over the front tank return (right side of pic), then check valve, tee from rear supply, then the factory connector. The line fit snug and with a small hoseclamp, I have not had any leaks and everything works as it should.

    Aft-axle fuel tank access on 85

    Frame is recommended! I did two ratchet straps and well, the bed came off but not nicely. Was putting a flat bed on anyways.

    U-joints??

    http://www.driveshaftspecialist.com/HTML Measure/UJ ID Guide.html Just measure the ones on your truck and figure out if they are inside or outside clip. Ford uses the BC (big cap) as well meaning the two caps going into the output yoke will be larger than the two on the shaft will be smaller.

    Holey water

    Beneath that wing nut is a rubber gasket. Make sure that is in good condition as well as replacing the cowl seal. I used garage door seal I saw on a thread on here. Make sure you silicone or rtv behind the new seal. Its also a good idea while you have it off to clean the cowl area and put some...

    Mechanic said "I dunno" "makes no sense"

    Depending on where you're at in PA, there are plenty of folks on here in that area and border states. @hacked89 @Danielle @chillman88 and a few others. Conestoga Diesel is located in PA as well. Most on here will happily meet up for a beer and a story just to stare at an IDI.
