    Ac compressor blew Black Death some pics

    you are gonna FUBAR your system FYI Straight propane gets too cold you need a lighter hydrocarbon in the mix, 35-45% is ideal purge it and fill with R209 - 60/40 propane/isobutane also, if your pump was made for r12, this is a good option, if you have a r134 pump, say bye-bye to your seals in...

    wiring

    If I were to go that route, I have a Painless 20104 sitting on the shelf, but that's supposed to be for the 46 Ford I have in progress........ I think I'll be trying that speedway kit the next time I buy one because of the price difference. LOL

    wiring

    Yeah, I could have written that better, I was trying to say I'd eliminate the fusible links in addition to the fuses and go to all circuit breakers. I was thinking of going to all 12ga and up to eliminate any undersized wiring (such as the headlight circuit), as well as help protect against...

    wiring

    Finally going to fix the wiring properly in the Flood Victim this summer. I have a donor 1991 F-150 so I can replace the dash (I cut a big hole in the top of mine for a quick gauge mounting plate, it was already cracked), wiring in that truck is immaculate. My issue is I have access to all the...

    BUYING A 7.3 IDI

    C'mon guys, let's ALL back off. Like Calvin said, once he learns the hard way, he'll listen. Although, I will say, his attitude is slightly reminiscent of someone who liked to play with governor springs...... :rotflmao:rotflmao

    Starter question

    Yeah, it's 9/16 IIRC...... Once you have the extensions set to the right length (I used a bunch of 1" extensions on a 3/8 ratchet), measure the length, cut a piece of rebar to the right length, weld it to a cheap 9/16 socket on one end, and weld a cheap socket to the other end to make a custom...

    BUYING A 7.3 IDI

    I ran across a truck on craigslist, its a 1990 f250 7.3 idi. He was asking 3000$ for it but hes letting me have it for 1500. It has like 186k on it. heres the ad: CONS: Small oil leak, most diesels do. Mine can be parked on a new, clean driveway without worry, that's like saying most cargo vans...

    BUYING A 7.3 IDI

    C'mon man.... tell him the truth.... He needs to go to the CAT dealership and put CAT oil in the engine, because then it'll pass smog, you know it replaces the cat in your exhaust system....... :rotflmao:rotflmao;Poke;Poke

    BUYING A 7.3 IDI

    Sounds and looks like a beater parts truck, I'd give him 800, spend a sat making a pickup box trailer to sell, sell off the cab with a title, sell the engine and trans, and use the money to increase the budget for my truck I was buying to drive...........

    you want this

    Did the title pull you in? Make me an offer on my junk. The offer of "I'll pay the shipping" may work depending on how much work is involved in pulling the part. LOL Parts are located in BFE, also known as Minot, ND. FYI: I don't use paypal. Plan on dropping a check or M.O in the mail. If you...

    Absolutely hate starters

    I had a starter do that once, it got hot enough I had to replaced the cable end to boot. After hunting this town for 2 hours trying to find a 6/0 ring terminal (which I found at napa), I bought a battery disconnect switch from the rack right next to them. If I have a starter hang up ever again...

    I think my new head unit is bad, sanity check?

    This is important. THINK about it..... Your truck had what, maybe 20 watts peak from the factory radio? Possibly 40 if you had a 4 channel? Most aftermarket radios are at least 200 watts (50x4), and my current radio is 300 (75x4). Are you going to run a 300 watt amplifier for a subwoofer on a...

    I think my new head unit is bad, sanity check?

    Just to mention, Alpine requires a minimum 10ga memory wire direct to the battery to get enough power when cranking, says so in their manual. Theirs WILL lose memory if you use a 12ga wire, ask me how I know................ You never said what brand you had put in. Did you have a soldered...
