    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    No biggie, the important thing is to get your truck straightened out. Its possible the headlight switch could have bit the dust but I'd say unlikely. Did you put a fuse in your new headlight harness? Does the ailment go away when the fuse is pulled? By the way, my truck was assembled in...

    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    Check to make sure the relays are wired correctly. It sounds like you are backfeeding the headlight switch somehow. Disconnect the relays and see if the issue disappears. If it does, I'd study the relays a bit more.

    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    I could have goofed, I'm not going to sit here and denounce someone else's write up, I did this from scratch and used a multi meter to identify the wires. I do believe my headlight switch in the dash has been replaced and a new pig tail for it was spliced into the harness. Perhaps they flopped a...

    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    There are 2 relays, you can swap them out if the low beam fails or simply jump the terminals with. Short piece of solid wire. I also have a #10 wire ran to the back of my truck and relay modded the reverse lights. 3 years in the relay has been solid.

    Looking at 96 Powerstroke

    I have both in my yard. M y 1991 F350 4x4, and my company truck, a 2001 F250 4x4. Let me set the record straight, my IDI will pull the guts out of a stock PSD and feels light footed around town in comparison. That being said, I understand that the PSD is bone stock with worn components. Lets...

    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    The EBay socket mentioned above would work great. I cut the passenger side factory harness and spliced wires onto it. That is the tie in point and what is used to control the relays. That is the only point where the new setup meets the factory harness.

    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    Anotheridi, you got the list just about covered. I have an aftearket fuseblock already so I didn't need an inline holder. Some ring type crimp terminals and tek screws were needed as well. Its a pretty easy project. Tool wise I used a cordless drill, heat gun, soldering iron, diagonal cutters...

    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    I learned something at Napa yesterday. The heat shrink is color coded just like crimp connectors. Yellow: #10 and 12 wire Blue: #14 and 16 wire Red: #18 and 20 wire

    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    I will do my best but there already is at least one headlight relay mod in the tech section. Thanks anyway, I appreciate it.

    Headlight relay mod revisited.

    I went to Napa and bought the necessary components to do the relay mod this evening. My lights were about as good as candlesticks! Here's what you need. I decided to solder and shrinkwrap my connections and sleeve everything in wireloom. Those pictures are of the drivers side socket. I...

    Project NEW TOW RIG

    I like the ones that came on the black truck. I read somewhere you're keeping them.....good call if that holds true.

    Are the idi's worth keeping?

    Chris, both the IDI and the PSD engines thrive with the pedal on the mat! The IDI in particular was designed and tested running on the governer. I have a 4K gov spring and run up to 38-3900 rpm's all the time. Driving like a grandpa and being unhappy with the lack of power seem contradictory...

    Are the idi's worth keeping?

    It all depends how you value your truck. I value mine at what it would cost to replace it with a similar newer truck, say an '02 Superduty 7.3. The replacement cost of my truck would be $16-20,000. Its a shame that some feel these trucks are all but worthless. I hold a high value to mine.

    Are the idi's worth keeping?

    I never said I wouldn't buy/build another. I would like another 7.3 Excursion and I would like to build a monster DT360, for another truck, maybe a super cab 4x4 dually.
