    Stainless Steel Brake Hose Up-grade

    I used some from PMF Suspension. They are expensive.

    A great loss.

    Calvin, I never knew you, but I'm going to miss you a lot. Rest in peace brother. Jim

    Brake parts

    See my post last June on EBC brakes. I just did the fronts though, but I like them real well. I've got about 5K on them.

    4WD Lo Doesn't Work in Reverse?

    OK, I went for another test run. I put it in 4WD Lo Range and it stayed there. It worked as expected in Drive, but Reverse just didn't seem very low. That's probably because R is higher than 1st in this transmission. Also my test area is the local Safeway parking lot which is not long enough to...

    4WD Lo Doesn't Work in Reverse?

    Yes, it's manual shift. Thanks for the thought. I'll check that out when I can. I'm packing things up to head out to Idaho/Montana.this weekend. Jim

    4WD Lo Doesn't Work in Reverse?

    Thanks for the reply. I know... it seems impossible. I'm going to do some more testing.

    4WD Lo Doesn't Work in Reverse?

    I need to back up a steep driveway with my camper on so I thought putting it in 4WD Lo would be perfect, but it doesn't seem to work? I tested this out in a local parking lot. It goes into Lo range just fine and works great in Drive, but when I put it in reverse it goes back to the taller...

    EBC Brake Experiences?

    OK, I like these new brakes a lot! Just now in St. Regis Montana heading back home after a loop through Idaho with the camper. One descent into Dworshak State Park was a 10% grade for a couple of miles. I got some fade at the bottom, but not bad really. I'm happy!

    Steering ISSUE fix - Drag link roll causing dead spot

    UPS guy dropped it off an Saturday (very nice packaging job, Brian!), but haven't got it installed yet. I wanted to get one of those splitters to try out. Right now I'm trying to fix some problems that I created on the truck before I head out on vacation. Thanks Mblaney!

    EBC Brake Experiences?

    This is the '97 in my signature, and yes they used the bolt design rather than the slide in pins that were on my '94. The calipers are NAPA rebuilds. I called two of my local Ford dealers and neither one sold the caliper pistons and rebuild kits anymore. I haven't got a chance to try them out...

    New brakes make me happy!:D

    EBC Brake Experiences?

    Well as it turns out, EBC doesn't make a rotor for my truck. No wonder there wasn't much response! Will use the EBC Greenstuff 7000 pads with OEM rotors.

    EBC Brake Experiences?

    So I'm trying to decide on pads and rotors for my truck. I don't do heavy towing, just haul a camper around mostly. It seems like the EBC kits yellowstuff pads and slotted rotors are the high dollar option. Anyone actually put any EBC brakes on their trucks? Jim

    Hit A Snag! Need A Wire Color Quick!

    It worked fine for me, but you could test it out to confirm there is power after the glow plugs have cycled. I don't remember which one it was... sorry. I think that's where the injection pump solenoid gets key on power. It's been a while...

    Hit A Snag! Need A Wire Color Quick!

    I wired mine off the glow plug controler as I recall. One of the lugs has key on power.

    Troubleshooting DTC P1212

    Installed the new OEM ICP sensor and that fixed my problem! CEL is gone and ICP volts at KOEO is .22, and .90 at idle. I unplugged the plug at the PCM and was able to test the wiring using this pinout diagram:

    Troubleshooting DTC P1212

    Well now I've just got to remove the plug to the PCM and check out the connection. Those blue sleeves I'm pretty sure we're put on by a Ford Service tech... I'm thinking as part of that last recall to fix the 'truck spontaneously catches on fire' problem. So once I've got thr plug off I can...

    Troubleshooting DTC P1212

    I've measured resistance on the ICP sensor plug wire to ground and it looks good. The VREF wire has about 5 volts with the key on, so that looks good. There's a plug that looks like it goes to the PCM... I'm not sure about that, or the pin layout. But it looks like there's been some activity...

    No. No oil in the sensor. Jim

    Troubleshooting DTC P1212

    Well now I have a new IPR, a very nicely rebuilt fuel bowl and regulator, plus new fuel hoses and clamps, but I still have the DTC P1212 and a new one... DTC 1280 (Injector Control Pressure Sensor Circuit Low). On a little closer inspection, now I'm thinking that the ICP volts is very close to...

    Troubleshooting DTC P1212

    I cleared the codes and tried to restart the truck but the batteries are now low and it won't start so I'm recharging them. The AE scanner tells me that the DTC 1212 has been set again and the KOEO ICP volts are still 4.73. I'm thinking I won't be able to get a good ICP volts reading while I...
