    Charging question

    Hmmm -- I'll get exact readings after 2nd cup but, amazingly for me, I did test ohms yesterday -- meter tested at zero ohms but red wire tested at 5 or 6 -- somewhere in there -- I'll check again -- nice to know somebody who knows "THINGS"

    Charging question

    Both batteries test very good, separately & with no leads attached -- leads are clean/solid -- well, I think if you separate the positive lead from pax side battery it definitely won't charge -- maybe I'm not understanding you.

    Charging question

    When engine is running, pax side battery shows it is receiving 14.4 volts when measured between the posts. Driver's side battery shows 12.8 volts. To me, that means there's a problem in the big red wire running from the pax side battery???

    How should this function? fuel filter head.

    7.3 = most had a springee thing & ball --- got rid of it years ago -- put a plug & a plug in the return hose -- Classic diesel design return kit deletes that port

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    And you definitely have a 7.3L glow plug controller on it in the picture of the engine

    1994 Crew Cab F350, 7.3L IDI, Factory Turbo, Front Brakes: remove & replace calipers + rotor / hub assembly

    2¢ worth -- change those brake lines too -- that makes a world of difference on calipers hanging up

    Air Conditioner question

    A/C system is all original - R-12 still used --- haven't been to a shop yet, but lemme throw this out there for the pro's that are here...... Turn A/C on -- air blows cold -- really cold. After about 25 minutes, air turns warm/ambient temp -- compressor is short cycling. Turn system off --...

    Yep

    Installed Dreg's Garage's brass return caps

    If you use the fuel heater delete kit from Classic Diesel Design, it comes with a metal plug to get rid of that return line (plastic plug) off the filter head

    Shop near Yuma AZ? bad water pump

    Might check this out for a water pump -- priced higher than parts stores but quality always costs more https://flowkoolerwaterpumps.com/products/1664-1983-1994-ford-420-445-water-pump
