    Irregular Voltage from Alternator

    So I've been having some issues w/ the Alt. Sometimes it puts out voltage in the high 13s and sometimes nothing. Depending on when I've checked it I have thought it was working great and other times not at all. Did a 50 mile one way run to get a battery for our other vehicle (which they ended...

    Wiring spaghetti & unknown plugs

    I've had some trouble w/ the alt not activating, so I decided to clean up some wiring. First I tracked these two wires from their cut and taped ends back to the solenoid that's mounted behind the driver's side headlight. They tested hot w/ the key on and went to nothing. Would they have gone...

    Alternator ID

    After getting the rig starting and running pretty nice today after starting I wasn't getting any output from the alt (measured at the battery terminals). Testing goes in several different directions based on the type, so what is this one? I believe it's a high output one that's also used in the...

    Which version of OD off?

    So I have one of the infamous E40Ds and sometimes I want to drive around w/ the OD off. Like if I'm just driving around in some town and the speed limit is never more than 45 or 50 max. Which would be better, just just turning it off on the shift lever, or downshifting to the "D" w/ no "O" on...

    Vacuum components

    Been fixing/plugging some vacuum leaks, mostly where a rat chewed up the heater & AC controls, and I have this attached to the vac manifold. It doesn't show on the diagrams I have, does anyone know what it is, or at least "was"?

    92-93 E350 down in the SoCal desert

    Was trying to not use this sub forum when I thought the only issue was that I might be sucking air before the electric lift pump (something I added a couple years ago), but now I see that it's also in limp mode (pale OD light). What I've done, Fuel issue - pulled the pump intake hose and ran...

    Fuel issues?

    I've had an occasional problem when accelerating where it starts acting like maybe fuel starvation? It gets rough, loud, sounds like maybe it's missing (?). If I let off on it and accelerate slower it stops. Since this has started I've changed out the fuel filter, and installed and electric...

    Fuel lines on a E350 cut-away

    Haven't been on for awhile as I've been ignoring this rig and hoping it would somehow fix itself. [emoji16] So, I have a bad/ leaking fuel pump and I'm going w/ an electric. I have the parts needed. Now the question, when I look at the lines coming from the tank there are three, and they go...

    Heater hose fittings

    I'm in the process of replacing the vacuum pump and while I'm there I want to delete heater lines that went to the rear heater. Right now the rear heater is long gone and the hose is looped from the top of the water pump to the rear of the engine. I'd like to have plugs to replace the hose...

    Maybe a 911?

    I'm not sure this should be in the 911 subforum, so I'm starting here. To start w/ this is my live-in rig. I have it out on dispersed camping. I towed it here after it being stored for a few years and getting taken over by packrats. My daily driver (a deuce and a half) just decided to blow...

    Smoked AC compressor

    Seems like I smoked the compressor. It was very hot, smelled bad, and today when I turn the inside part of the pulley it feels a bit grity and I'm getting some black dust falling out when I turn it. So, the question. Will I still be able to run it w/o using the AC, or am I down till I can get...

    Speedometer pegged

    Did some searching and found nothing that matched. I have a speedo that pegs as soon as I start to move. It's a `92 w/ a `93 7.3. Not really sure where to start checking. It's not always been that way, started on our trip bringing it from the east coast. Thanks for any input.
