Really, REALLY, stupid question, but....

[MIDNIGHT RIDER]

daisy-chained fuel pumps

What is ??

NOT A THING IS WRONG WITH THEM !!!


I have my >>>many<<< REVERSE-lights on a relayed circuit.

I can turn them ON with the switch-key in my pocket.

I can turn them OFF such that not even shifting to REVERSE makes them come ON.

Or, I can leave things alone and they operate normally, with the exception that only the minimal current required to trigger the relay is carried via the wimpy factory circuit.








Now, to the original thread starter guy:

YES; that is the oil filler neck.

A plain-jane 6.9 holds 10-QTs of CI-4 15W-40; use anything else at your own peril.

There are larger filter and cooler options that make room for more oil.

Welcome to the gang.

It has Rotella 15W-40 in it right now

I shoulda guessed I'd step in it! "Daisy-chained" probably wasn't the right term. In my case, a leaking fuel system was "fixed" by putting an electric pump on the cross-member underneath the lift pump, but the lift pump was not removed. So, they really blew off fixing the problem and just addressed the symptom, sort of kicking the can down the road. Same with the toggle switch, which I can assure you exhibited none of the thought (let alone relays) that you seem to have put into yours.

I know, I know, in a hole, stop digging,

@nicknd- How could that question possibly be stupid? Especially since I had to ask the exact same thing, and I have NEVER done anything stupid...
Welcome to the board!

@papastruck- It seems like all my life I have been fixing other peoples problems, couple that with an inexplicable dislike of tracing filthy oily crudded up wires while laying under a truck and the installation of those halogen driving lights under the rear bumper makes perfect sense. Now I can actually SEE what's behind me at night, and they're also highly effective on tailgaters!

Despite popular wisdom to the contrary, one CAN very well dig themselves out of a hole.

It's all in where you place the dirt; think "steps" or "ramp".

Come to think of it, I'd still be sleeping on a sofa if that weren't the case.

@BioFarmer93 - Nice work - this shoe tastes damn good, thank you!

Anyway, nicknd, welcome to the board. As you can see (I've only been an owner < 1 year), people are more than willing to help with anything, so we hope to see you around.

Yeah, thanks to everyone. A lot of other sites you go to, you always get the people who like to make smart remarks to everything. I'm selling my diesel right now. Don't have the money I originally wanted to spend on it. What I really want is a '73-'77 F250 highboy. That won't be happening for a while though.

The later/ bigger filter may or may not fit. I got one intending to put it on my 89, and discovered that it did not clear the frame member under the engine. Lots of people seem to be able to use them, though, so I guess that it's an "it depends"

If you think that question was stupid, wait until you see some of the stupid stuff we can come up with here..... or already have.

It would have only been stupid if you didn't ask, ruined the engine and then asked where it was.

There's a ton of knowledge here and some very skilled people on this board so pull up a chair and learn all you can.

Welcome.
