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...
Greetings,
As described, 1995 F350 XLT 1 ton dually crew cab 2WD with E4OD transmission.Issue at hand: The dash cluster has sat around , up right, since I took it out and re-did most of the wiring that was burned up ( due to previous owner being less than intelligent) and I've now gotten...
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?
GreetingsBeen a long while.1976 F 250 right hand side swing out quarter glass replacement.Does anyone have any idea at all with how to remove the glass and the frame around it from the two hinge points in the front of it ? They appear to be plastic in nature and I do not , see any hinge...
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 issueVSS? Vehicle Speed Sensor I presume? Noted. One more item I'll replace. the cooler has been replaced and added as well. the electric fan is a good idea too. what other little weird things should be taken into account? I've dubbed it, " the Ox" . for obvious reasons.
The...
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...
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...
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...
Okay... Fusible link. With service manual in hand, ( Ford Publication) and having it opened to the only page that covers this year, make, model and engine size, on the BK/O ( I presume that means the black with orange tracer) that circuit goes to two fusible links but , at one junction it...
and the battery is new. as in brand new. fully charged by me before installing as I am all to aware of the item that batteries, sometimes , even sitting on the shelves for a few weeks or months aren't always fully charged.
Yes. It was. As an added experiment such as it was, I pulled the positive cable as it was running and the engine died. i.e. quit. the battery is now on a charger due to the issue of it not having been re-charged as it should have been .
1995 f-350 one ton dually, 460/7.5 EFI , installed new battery, re-man'ed alternator, Bosch, ( direct replacement with what it had) E4OD transmission. The list of issues goes on and on but-!, While I was running a scanner on it ( PO 138,139 and 158- all O 2 sensor related) I got curious and ran...
1995 F 350 one ton dually crew cab E4OD automatic Transmission, 460 EFI gas engine. Issue: Right rear side door lock will not lock. This model is equipped with the keyless entry which did not come with the truck when I bought it ,( meaning I did not get the keyless entry fob with it). In...
Compression check results: Cylinders one through eight- ALL were found to be well within spec at 150-160 psi. Leakdown test revealed that no cylinder leaked off at more than a 5 % loss within 10 minutes.So the findings of rings not yet seating appears to be nearly perfect . Having run this...
Well, uhmm. Filing the end of the rings wasn't something that was even thought of. I did however measure the ring gap with the rings in each of the 8 holes. I'm not sure how that has any impact but that's why I'm here , to ask that which I either didn't know of or did know of and didn't do...
Fuel consumptions been like it alwayts has been ever since I put it together witht eh Edlebrock 750. Between 5 and 6 and an actual average ( while pulling ) 4.8 mpg. So its not the greatest thing on gas but she goes.I tried one small item mostly out of being curious. I put a lighter to the...
It was on flat ground. I did check the dipstick after it had cooled off for well over 24 hrs or more and in short terms less than 6 hours with plenty of time to cool.
Okay, with all of that in mind, I DID change the oil right at the 500 mile marker. Which is why I kept and stil do keep a log of everything I do on it. You're correct, we don't know each other, yet. But it's a learning process. What I do know is this and it may or may not have impact or...
