    1991 F250 E4OD Super Cab

    1992 F250 E4OD Super Cab 2wd Well, it needs work. #1 cyl exh valve is chuffing, return lines leak, no bed, and tranny makes a weird noise going into gear from neutral. It'll drive anywhere, just add batteries. Work done on it: Steering links Shocks Front brakes Brake master New...

    Battery Drain Woes

    OK... my 91 has had a drain issue since PO had it. Cut out electronic brake controller and goofy fog lights, no other hacked wiring found. 3G alt upgrade done by me, disconnected for now. Hood and dome lights are removed. Plugged a meter inline and I had 1.7 amp draw. The barometric...

    PSA: Check/repair your differential breather!

    PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Check the breather vent on your differential. On every truck I've had (5x so far), that vent has been clogged. It killed the pinion seal and bearings on my '09, caused the '91 to dribble out of the axle hub seal, and the '92 to leak out of the pinion seal. Any...

    3G Small Case Alternator Belt Troubles

    Well apparently belt clearance with the 3G small case alternator is less than ideal. On a test run it kissed the head of that bolt. Looks like a side effect of the smaller frame, with the pulley sitting lower in the whole belt system. Solutions/ideas? Shorter belt? Idler? UPDATE...

    DIY: Digital Pyrometer Gauge

    I didn't really like the Banks gauge... so, ta daaaa! It's about $40 in parts, with the screen being half of that. The enclosure is up to your imagination. You can change it from *F to *C in the code, and can see the actual voltage from the pyro-amp output. Obviously it'd be really compact...

    Hairbrained idea for cheap timing meter/onboard display

    Sooo... right into it: 1. Why not use a strip style piezo sensor permanently mounted on the #1 injector line? Basically, you could use this (with signal amplification and a touch of other electronics) to trigger an inductive (normal) timing light. 2. Moving forward, you could ALSO use a...

    Vacuum bleed brakes through MC cap?

    Had a scary thought and my google-fu didn't turn up anything useful... Right now I'm replacing the brake master cylinder, and of course the front/rear brake lines have to be removed. Conventional wisdom says to bleed all of the lines after putting in the new master, but that means pulling...

    Power Window Regulator Jamming

    Anyone else have issues with the regulator jamming up on the motor? Passenger side window on the 92 has been giving me fits... it jams up and will "pop" free if I loosen the motor slightly. Given the door skin material, I can't see/figure out what's jamming. Is there any way to verify...

    Lift Pump Issues

    This is driving me nuts... Got the fuel filter light today and popped in a new filter at lunch. Burped the air, had good flow at the schrader valve. Drove home and got the light again. Checked flow at the schrader valve, NADA. Just a poot of air. Truck runs 10-20 seconds and dies. Lift...

    Tach Sensor Test Rig

    So I got bored... IP gear is spinning at 620 RPM, which is the same as 1240 engine RPM. The gauge is powered by a 12v wall wart. Up next, I'll be testing a Duralast SU1181 or Dorman 917-784. They can be cut shorter than the stock sensor and have a metal end cap which I'll try...

    Q & A: DIY Pop Tester Without Welding

    Since tech articles are locked, I figured I'd open this thread up for questions/banter/troubleshooting/etc. Here's the tech article. Here's a thread showing injector internals

    How To: DIY Pop Tester (without welding)

    Why a new thread on pop testers, when we have a good one by Oldbull in the tech section? Because I wanted to assemble one without welding, opening up possibilities for members who don't have/know a welder. Parts: Gauge (use 0-3000 psi) 1/4 NPT to M12x1.5 metric adapter 1/4 NPT F-M-F Tee...

    Injector line thread question

    Research has told me that the injector end of the line is M12.5x1.5... is the IP end of the line the same thread size/pitch? Think I may have found a fitting at McMaster-Carr that'll work for a pop tester.

    Debris found on oil change

    Changed the oil on the 1992, which is "knocking." I expected a silver river or debris similar to a disassembled parts engine with a thrown rod... but I only found a few bits of orange plastic... I drained the oil and filtered it to 100 micron, checking each sieve with a magnet for metal, and...
