  1. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Sadly enough, I've owned six cars/trucks before this cad, and while it is the ugliest car i've ever owned, it's also the best running.I'll be around.
  2. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Well, it's evolved to a situation that I have no choice but to give it back to my grandpa. He understands completely, and the guy I work with, with the 84 Cad, is coming by tomorrow. I want to thank you for your help, it's been most insightful. Maybe once I get on my feet and get to the point...
  3. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Well a couple of pages back, I posted some pictures from under my truck. Now they are cell phone pictures and not really good quaility, but you can see the external filter, and the one that requires the internal cartridge filter. (As well as a picture of what I now know to be the HP pump...
  4. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Alright, another update. Grandpa came out with the battery charged up. We managed to get the truck running, but she's still acting like she's not getting a full fuel flow. So he loaned me the money to go get a new HP Pump. I changed out the pumps, and we tried again, wont start at all. Now...
  5. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Actually the two back pumps, that's where the sound of the pumps are coming from. Only ran for about a second each.
  6. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Alright, I have that filter, I'll change it here soon. My grandpa has a charger, he's gonna trickle charge the battery overnight and bring it back around tomorrow. We'll see what's what. And that front pump, how can I tell if it's working? (I guess by trying to start it? Haha!) What's it...
  7. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Alright, update. I put the key in the ignition and I've got some sound from the pumps, both for the front, and the back, so I'm guessing whatever I've done in the matter of pushing on the button, and pushing the wire into the switch. Of course, I could have been getting this all along and not...
  8. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Alright, I found the Fuel system inertia switch, The Haynes manual I have says that it being "down" is the closed position, which is what it should be right? I'm about to go outside and see if it opens up or if it's a plug issue, follow some wires and make sure nothing is shorted out. By the...
  9. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    I've got a manual, and since you just renamed it, lol I can find it cause that's what the book called it. Gimme some time to find this first, then we'll move on.
  10. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    On the firewall, that's in the engine compartment, under the windshield. But where abouts? Any specific location or what it looks like? As for the rest of it, that's unknown territory for me. Not a clue what you mean.
  11. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Thank you very much. I'll look around and see if I can't find anything.
  12. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    No, My grandpa towed it home for me. Aint nothing that man can't do. The problem is that I work 4-12PM, and I have no other mode of transportation. This truck just needs to last long enough so I can get some money gathered up to get a more fuel friendly car. (Which then, I'll probably turn...
  13. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Where is the reset?
  14. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Ok, Bit longer then half an hour, but I got caught up in Fable II.What are these?Keep in mind these are at an angle. Hard to take a cellphone picture when your on your back on the side of the highway. That second one, the black plastic cap(I guess?) is facing the ground. The first one has...
  15. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Update!: Didn't work. Means the pump is out. it's the only thing it could be. I've got some pictures from my cell, I think I found the fuel pump? As well as something else, that honestly, I don't know what is. I'll post those in about 30 minutes, need to shower, got fuel on me. (Duh) and...
  16. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Yeah, I got one of each. Lets hope like hell it's the external one. Heading out there now to give it a go. Thanks for the info.
  17. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    lol I was underneath the truck. Once I get back out there with a flash light, I'll find it I'm sure. Now, are we sure it's an external filter? Auto Zone came up with two, internal and external. What are the chances of mine being Internal?
  18. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Alright, when I was out there, before I got a lift to the part store and back here so I could get my tools, I did look under there and I found the fuel pump, I looked at the new filter I got and I can't say that I saw that. Maybe I need to look towards the back more when I got back out there.
  19. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    It's not a spark issue, brand new spark plugs in it as well. She turns over just fine, just not getting any fuel to start up. (The few times it did start, she idled fine, but if I try to give it gas, it dies. So that, to me, and to the mechanic I talked to, says filter right?)blacksnapon I...
  20. Emergancy - Fuel Filter Help.

    Alright, My Ford has failed me. Not too happy right now, couldn't make it to work.Alright, Started it up, everything is fine, got about four miles down the highway and suddenly it started to have issues. Like she is out of gas. I know she has gas, got the rear tank nearly filled. Called a...
  21. Lowering a f150

    Back when I had my 65 Chevy, me and my grandpa discussed lowering it, from what I know, if you want to do it right, you'll want to get a lowering kit, http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/20A50471A1.aspx I also found this site that gives a bit of information...
  22. Door Weatherstripping Part Numbers

    It's in the first post, a 79.
  23. Fuel Injection Cleaning

    The tool they use to hook to the manifold line isn't something you'd go out and spend money on, it's got one use only. They got a whole process to this, I've seen it when I worked as a lube mechanic at pepboys.
  24. Fuel Injection Cleaning

    I've been thinking about it, And this does relate to my previous topic, but I wanted some individual light shone on this. With, lets say Pepboys, offering the service at different levels, I was thinking of getting Level 4, which is everything and a HJ. The problem is, I don't know exactly what...
  25. Stupid Fricken Problem!!!!!

    I know you said you inspected all the vacuum lines, might want to take the time to check them all again, give the small ones a slight bend at random places and make sure there isn't a crack or a rip somewhere. When I first got my truck, it was doing the exact same thing, if it was in gear, got...
  26. Crazy Things?

    lol I stay away from white. My Ford is named Red Betty. Red with tan in the middle.
  27. Crazy Things?

    lol No, If you'll read the added note, I didn't know Japanese. I googled my name up and found a few other languages that it's used in, German being one of the recognizable ones. Me? I'm a Mutt. Five tribes Native American, Black Dutch, French, Irish, and African. (Although that last one...
  28. F-150 Engine Problems.

    True enough for that. Alright, I'll bookmark this, and as soon as I can get the money to start this, I'll update. Even though this is just a start, I want to say thank you all for the help.
  29. Crazy Things?

    The nationality of Misou is actually Japanese (Modern usage has appeared in several Japanimation movies/series and a few live action movies if I remember correctly.) Interestingly enough, I came up with "Misou" about 14 years ago, back when my family first got online. It was originally "My...
  30. F-150 Engine Problems.

    Alright, I went out and looked at the engine and I found it. So when I take this off, what do I use to clean it? I don't want to use something that might cause problems. Can't remember the name of it, but I used to use this brake cleaner, came in a red can and a green can, fast drying, no...
