I-beam problems.
does it look anything like this? another view that was my pax side mount. replaced a year or 2 ago... the stealership had the part available in 2 days, for less than $40 if i remember correctly. for that cheap, i'd go new. and under no circumstances would i attempt to weld it.- soulpatchfr

Hard start! Bad Batteries?
i don't know if you need new cables, but what we're saying is make sure that they are good shape... straight, clean (new?) ends. no fraying. no corrosion in the strands. a new positive cable can be purchased (my choice - or some have made their own. you decide if your's is 'in order' or in need...- soulpatchfr

How to start a 7.3 IDI
sounds like you have glow plugs problems to me. with a properly operating charging system & a good starter, these old girls will fire of in sub 0 temps on one cycle without the aid of the block heater. (might not sound real happy about it for a few minutes, though) if you can count the...- soulpatchfr

Hard start! Bad Batteries?
just make sure the batteries are no longer connected to each other when you have them tested (or when you charge them)... it'll give false readings if not. be sure to lean the terminals on the pax fender starter relay, too. a little dielectric grease on all connections wouldn't hurt anything...- soulpatchfr

Air Intake Question?
Eric, click on my 'garage' over at the left... there's a pic of my setup. i used the same 4" roof vent that Okie is modeling for us, then 'massaged' it into an oblong opening, riveted it to th e90* elbow & a HD 4" flex dryer duct & then just wedged it in place where you see it. works well...- soulpatchfr

Wire harness, headlight conversion.
Thanks, Zigg. unfortunately, she was a simple vinyl floored 'Custom' trim package, so i don't have cruise. We even talked about that, but that darn Nextel connection is a nightmare ;Really & i'm not sure that either of us are positive about the rumoured bad effects of switching to all LED's...- soulpatchfr

Wire harness, headlight conversion.
Mike, i believe that LMC, & i know that Summit both sell a harness that replaces the OE headlight harness under the hood - relays are built into said harness :Sly , so i guess the mod is much easier - give me a minute to find that thread... the running light mod will still be neccessary, but...- soulpatchfr

Moose Stang enters service!
sorry it took so long to reply, Mel... really glad she's deemed roadworthy by the powers that be (i knew you'd do it all right ;Sweet ), & i hope the reg process doesn't prove to be too costly or ulcer inducing. can't speak to VA laws about the swap, but i know that there is no state ordinance...- soulpatchfr
