    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    rarer but they did have a 4 speed manual as well which was heavier duty. The Mazda 5 speed was slightly different than the ranger one, i believe up to a certain year they were different metal cases and i believe 1st or reverse ratio were different too reverse and 1st on the mazda isnt the...

    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    I dont have chrome bumpers or grilles(factory, I made my grille and bezels chrome) and I just have lowely XLT. I wish I had 5 speed manual, the e4OD saps a LOT of horsepower from the 300. About 25-35 people estimate. The manual trucks feel a bit more spiritied just not having that...

    3-4 harsh shift 4l80e

    The strange part for me was the freeze frames were completely rational, i even checked my autel against my tech 2 to make sure the readouts were accurate. In order to obtain second gear, the PCM receives input signals from the transmission speed sensors (input and output), the Throttle...

    3-4 harsh shift 4l80e

    @bucket @NickTransmissions I forgot, I fixed this about a week ago but i figured out why I thought it as a 3-4, then realized it was 2-3 It wasnt the shifts, my TCC Lockup occurs at the same time as the shifts(according to scan tool) Lightly holding the brake confirms the shifts are actually...

    Hey! If I go outside and try to startt mine it most likely wont start! I feel attacked! Ngl tho for a red truck, that doesnt look too bad. Im not big on red trucks.

    I hate the power window and door lock switches

    what kind of solder did you use, and did you use flux? I think the solder on vehicle thing has more to do with creating stress points than you can/ cannot do it. Such that if your wire is properly supported and isnt likely to "pivot" or "hinge" at the solder point, then its fine. FOr example...

    Dual fuel tank filling

    I was considering mounting a 20 gallon tank on my garbage trailer( you know which one, the one with the topper and that has a 14b ff) :) I was considering mounting it on that and then mounting a 12v transfer pump ansd then a small battery. Tempting, but i don t have enough gas needs to do that...

    My thoughts on spare alternators

    well if you upgrade your charging system and run dedicated power wires with a relay, you can make that a reality!

    Reverse light switch and wiring

    LED in the reverse sockets of these trucks, especially with yellowed housings (like yours) actually arent all that bright. But no issue, just glad you have reverse lamps now!

    Dual fuel tank filling

    my bad I had the situation you want to avoid (gas in diesel) switched around. Still, if he wants to use his aux tank for diesel or gas i would incorporate a way to drain it fully and , in a way, rinse out. and then the lines flushed if any pulled through

    Dual fuel tank filling

    i thought he was using the gasoline for his other, presumably modern small vehicles, and his truck was a diesel?

    Reverse light switch and wiring

    now youre legally required to put LEDs in so you have a minor bump in visibility backing up and then install another light to auxillary light up on another switch to help you back up.

    I hate the power window and door lock switches

    these are good style to use because they match the switches GM went to after the ones the OP is referencing, but they faced upward not inward

    Dual fuel tank filling

    you use your tank for BOTH and doint do anything to clean out when going to gas from diesel?

    Dual fuel tank filling

    unless absolutely requiring the keep the aux tank on the opposite side of the truck, I would just advocate using a behind the rear axle gas tank And the side of your choice, and piping the filler to your prefered spot (behind the tail light is popular aftermarket place) This would be able to...

    My thoughts on spare alternators

    considering most cars have logic controlling charging and not simply a diode/resistor set, that logic wants to see a value or set of values to know what to do and how much to do it Do not run your vehicle, even these squares, without a battery, unless you are very confident in your ability to...

    My thoughts on spare alternators

    im slightly spoiled because im a girl so lower insurance rates, im no longer in the "high risk" category of new driver, and i Dont have any accidents on my insurance history ever, and I had good grades when in school. So Im sure my overall rates being low is partially that, but If its the case...

    Reverse light switch and wiring

    part number: 329816 Do you still have the original column or was it swapped? because if you have the column, if you can move the tube up to the very top, that sounds like thats where reverse would be (and thus should activate the switch) but this only works if you have the original column

    Reverse light switch and wiring
