    1995 F350 XLT 7.5 EFI Dash Instrument Cluster

    The cluster unit is the OEM unit that came with the truck. Having already tried stuffing one from another rig into the dash, simply doesn't work to well for a wide array of reasons. Namely, the mileage shown on another used one, does not match mine. Best of my knowledge there is no VSS on this...

    All fuses and relays are good and some are new. All wiring is complete and accurate. It only leaves the dash cluster.

    They don't cover this year and model. Dash cluster is all electronic from the looks of things in the EPROM.

    No odometer, no tach readout, no nothing. Engine starts and runs fine, but this entire dash cluster is just , ceased to work

    1976 F 250 Right side swing out quarter glass

    42-25-2 side swing out window. Apparently the hinges come out? By some magic or leverage?From the way the diagram reads, there's supposed to be some "slot" to allow for the hinges to come up and out?Or are they squeezed together from top to bottom or side to side?

    Charging system issue

    charging system issueWell a couple of things come to mind and I have the appropriate items on order and they'll be there for this next go around. Both of the battery cables are pretty well done for. The nuts to tighten the terminals to the posts are shot to h*** , so that's first and...

    Charging system issue

    charging system issueDually noted and recorded. Now. I recall being told years ago when I went through the electrical portion of my 2 yr diesel tech school, that it was one method to find out if the alternator was in fact charging. I'd seen it done so that's why I did what I did. You are...

    Charging system issue

    Chraging system issueI've never known that to happen before with all due respect. I'm no expert on this matter but I am gaining ground fast. Having done that very thing to one other alternator looking for a system fault, it did just fine after the fact , and the engine continued to run.Now...

    Charging system issue

    Uhmm. Well, in that case let me ask this. Since there are two 12 gage fusilinks shown and I haven't gotten into it that far ( yet- trucks in one place and I'm elsewhere, just got back from that location) what about installing a 12 gage fuse holder with a ...say....30 amp fuse?Would make better...
