I was thinking about a freeze plug mod. I have a few ideas on how to make that work. On the old Dodge i plan to do this to I might have a port in the head. But the two Fords I doubt. Good to know a GM is like that. If I can get the GMC I have built I will do that.

I agree. I would prefer to use a direct probe, just not stuck in the fins of the radiator. I like the screw in style if I had a place to screw it in.

I have been planning to convert all our truck electric fans. I was hoping to build a standard wiring harness to work with all of them using common parts. I do not want to use a store bought fan controller because of their reputation for giving out. I believe I have found, what I consider, the...

A few days later. But done none the less.

the truck still runs rough but it made a three hour trip I needed to make.

I just noticed the typo in my previous post. I have not gotten used to post them from my phone I guess the phone decides what I meant to say. Right or wrong.

yeah, there pretty useless.

I agree I hate that damn thing. When I return I want to bypass it permanently but neatly.

it was either that or set fire to the truck.

Got it. That accumulator had nothing to do with it. The fuel intertia switch went bad on me. I bypassed it and the damn thing fired right up. I spent almost three days on this issue and I never checked the easy possibility first. To make it worse, I know better. I had issues with that switch on...

Well, I thought the fuel pump might be bad because it did not do anything with the ignition on. I pulled it off and benched tested it. Then it squirted fuel all over me. I tested the connector and sure enough, no power. Either the relay is bad or the inertia switch. Funny how you fix one thing...

the blue lines are the main feed lines the other I think brown or the return lines. They go to a fuel pressure regulator which then of course goes the fuel rail. The Schrader valve has fuel coming out of it, but that could be residual.

I know where the lines go. The issue here is I can not get a definitive answer on whether or not I can delete this part all together. I've been all over Ford forums and Google and I have found a mixture of responses. My ride to the salvage yard this morning fell through when his son had to be...

This is the valve I was referring to. I have it held in place with a screw driver in the photograph.

I just started pulling the housing out again and it is full of fuel. So, fuel it getting to it. But I also have fuel in the lines after it. I am not sure if it is just residual though.

I was thinking that as well. But the tubing is two different sizes.

I woke up this morning and with a clear head and tried again. I used a light coat of grease to hold the O ring in place. I was ab,e to use a screw driver through the outlet tube to re position the valve. When I heard an audible click I figured it was back in place. It also stays in place when i...

After much research I found out why this thing is there. And it turn out many people have deleted it with out issue. This is not a filter housing. The filter is further up the frame rail. I want to delete it because I am in a tight spot and have to get on the road. However, I prefer to repair...

I was suppose to go out of down tonight but this damn housing is stopping me. I have an 87 Ranger with a 2.9. I was changing the fluids and fuel filer in preparation for my trip. I took this housing apart because I forgot the 87 and newer had a canister filter further up the frame rail. I guess...

To slam or not to slam...

I am with you. Once I get it running like it should I want to do all the fluids. Flushing both the engine and tranny are high priorities.

I doubt that is the problem. It had that sound before I replaced the plugs and wires. It is more noticeable now that the engine is running quieter. I think it is a lifter or a fuel injector.

I was going to adjust and check the valves. But the manual made it very clear that i am not to do that. I have never trusted "self adjusting" anything. it almost sounds like a plug wire arching.

Just took it for a test drive and it runs waaaaaaaaaaaaay better. It needs timing and I think I hear a vacuum leak and I have what sounds like a top end tic.

No emissions here. I plan to cut the cats off later. Sounds like it is getting gone then.
