  1. When you checked relays, did you locate the acc.relay? Is there anything plugged into the data port, like an ELD jumper? I know it was a trash truck, just curious...
  2. Maybe the well sealed line is showing you that the injector is weak.... And drippy..
  3. I can't afford charcoal.. Hell I'm grabbing branches that fall out of my neighbors tree, so I can cook Meaty Goodness...
  4. you have what is called a ''Smart Fan'' it will ramp up and down based on signals from the EECU.. Next time you are at the Dealership, have them show you the Smart fan setting.. It is on PTT. It can be shut off and on..
  5. That was Great Tom !!!! It gets my blood flowing.. I really need to get back to work on my '48... I saw 1 in the whole set of photos.. Thank you!! Jojo
  6. Terry,, You make a good point.. Fingers crossed.. I wonder if the trunnion caps are cracked (bottom broken open).. That is a sure sign of major wear... JoeH had a good question too..
  7. New torque arms, and were Twinkies installed in the lower spring boxes? Do you have pictures of the wear marks?
  8. All of our city trucks are diesel powered fords.. all automatic and have electric brakes on the equipment trailers.. I have moved some medium sized equipment, ( because I'm the only one in my crew with a Class-A) I sure wish they were manual trans trucks. Even the big dump trucks are autos, one of them does have a clutch..
  9. It's a Hell of a Novel.. I agree with manual trans, and hubs.. I keep my 97 Tacoma running.. I have had to repair the frame 3 times. But it is a great little truck.. my 1 Ton C-30 is a home made work truck.. made from 3 C- series trucks.. One of these days I will be posting pictures of my '48 Int. As it goes up the road. I'm glad camping was fun..

    Premium Tech Tool... I suggest that you look to purchase it.. along with a Vocomm data link... Glad it is fixed..

    I was wanting to ask him the same thing... PTT is cheap to buy, the vocomm box is pricey, but I also dont know if there are other products out there.. this stuff moves faster than me now..
  12. Too much there for me to make good comments on.. I guess you need a 4 door F-350 with a C-6 or granny gear 4 spd.. at least you were able to get it up the road.. Ford trucks are tough and pull real good.. Myself I am a Bowtie guy.. I have 5 of them. one is home made and pisses me off at times, but it IS tough and gets what I need done..
  13. ok.. I remember you took the VECU apart and cleaned it.. This is a hard one to fix on here.. Have you added a ground wire from the EECU housing, under a mount bolt to a clean spot on the engine.. I have had to do that several times to create a needed ground.. I wish I was much smarter about ECU issues and backdoor repairs.. Sorry Bud.. Jojo
  14. I beleive you have an E-Tech engine... 6 EUP's not a Robert Bosch inj. pump???
  15. did you check the voltages at the Diag. port under the dash? there is a low side voltage and a high side voltage.. you should have a gray 6 pin port..
  16. Thats Higher Leve Redneckin' and I Love it!! You see..... your truck wears a ''Bow Tie'' Now that's Class 🤠
  17. on the fire wall, by the steering column, is a gray wire with 2 or more wires. it has a triangular weatherpack plug on it... are the contacts and wires in good condition? that is the 1939 line under the hood.. it is part of the engine harness.. here is an example from the engine I currently have in my shop.
  18. Ok... Crazy thought.... Was either one of the carriers replaced recently?
  19. I agree.. that's why I suggested a starter button.. sometimes we just have to make it our own...

    well,, I fell like it may be a fuel delivery issue.. I would be curious what the fuel pressure is.. On a gauge, not a computer.... Do you have the tools to check fuel pressure?

    What was repaired on the engine recently? Did it go from running good to running weak?
