You kind of lost me there. I think the answer to that in the case of these gauges is even when it is 6 degrees outside these gauges sit at about 100 degrees (both gauges the same). I have the same concern about the accuracy of the gauges that is why I called Hewitt. The picture I posted of the...
I have Hewitt Pyrometers in two of my trucks which read around 100 degrees regardless of ambient temperature.
I called tech support they said it was normal. Maybe yours is as well? Call their tech line and ask.
I'm thinking the weld first idea may not be the best. Drilling through heat tempered and deformed metal will get a little interesting. It is a very good option but once you start welding it may be your only option. Just my two cents worth.
Quality varies on the valve stems. I always get mine from the parts store or a tire shop supply house. I run a shop and have never had a problem with the valve stems from O'Reilly. I buy them in bulk so I can't vouch for the small packages hanging on the shelf. Several years ago I heard of a...
If you run the rubber valve stems get the stems designed for high pressure. There are two kinds.
One kind is for passenger cars (all black). The other is made for pressure 80psi or above. (rubber with a visible brass stem)
Both will be flexible.
I have some pictures of the repair/mod I did on my trucks, but not handy to post. Do a youtube search a lot of videos. The bushing under the dash is mechanical. The plastic bushing wears out then the metal parts start wearing. The more wear under the dash the less pushrod movement under the truck
What about the pushrod where it mounts to the pedal assembly under the dash. it is a known wear area. The pushrod has a hole with a plastic bushing which mounts to a stud on the pedal. Very common problem area which can cause what you are describing.
I posted it once on someone's thread. There is a Ford service bulletin about rerouting the cables so they don't bind. I don't have access to it right now.
Thinking about the 4X4 swap, what is the best clutch/flywheel kit to buy?
The clutch in this most recent purchase is slipping otherwise I would drive it for a while

I guess that's what you could call buying another parts truck. This one is a Turbo with only 89K original miles (according to the original owner) It looks like I have everything I'll need to transform my driver into a 4X4 except time. I paid way to much but I wanted the turbo engine.
Yes, it is possible. It sounds like you are sucking air somewhere before the lift pump. It could be anywhere back to the fuel tanks. The only way I can think you are getting air in the system at the fuel filter is to pull it in before the pump.
