Yea, it's kinduh hard to pinch the lines on these. I know what you mean,-that would be an easier way lol.

You pull the Regulator vac supply line (Red) and jot down how much your pressure varies (connected and disconnected) . I forget the exact number spread off hand, I believe the pressure is suppose to jump up 10 or so.

In addition you use a Mini Vac tool to apply vac directly to regulator and test control. Apply Vac SLOWLY and pressure should drop as you apply.

Think I have that right

But yea, it sounds like it's working to me. Hell man, we have to learn how to tune...Atleast enough about it to play with the AF's when needed.

 

well motor issue is on the back burner. i have at minimum a drivers side cv and outer tie rods to replace...
Lightning engine 1.
F150 0.

pics and full horror story later probably in offroading section... i'll just say my heads still swimming and i think i need anxiety meds for tonight.

 

uh-oh's. . . .

 

Yea, OOPS!! Now what did I do

Hey man, - been there. I once stole everyone's shoe laces to get the truck home. I needed the shoe laces to tie one of the front wheels straight enough to get her back to the TTC (Truck Trauma Center)..

Those damn wash outs are hell..When you feel yourself getting sucked into one, what do you do ?

When in doubt, you put it thru the floor and hope for the best

To bad the best isn't always waiting for yuh on the flipside

You need a Tank Klitch.

she got herself down the hill after i rigged the tie rod ends.

best part is, $150 in parts and i'll do the alignment.

 

Holy Crap!! NICE!

$150 for parts? Yea but, you better at-least buy 2 of everything lol.

Should beef it a bit. How about a 3/4 ton front axle and the old but trusty Ford 9" rear end ? You have lockers right? Mannn, - A built L motor + lockers + 1/2 ton drivetrain =

 

a 9" is strong but its better for drag racing. i dont think the axle tubes would hold up as well in the trails. go with a pair of dana 60's

 

ok back to the truck. have one hand yet again, trouble codes 172 and 175. have not tripped egr since i found the green line was melted.


need ideas since hydrocodone effects my thinking

 

What happened to your hand? Didn't you smash your arm in a press a year or two back?. Hel, l if you can install a shift kit with one arm, you should be able to fix those rich codes

You might not be getting enough fuel for that monster,- how does she start cold? You have enough pressure ? Your running a Walbro correct? I can't remember a 255 maybe? You have an after market regulator?

 

300 pound electric motor damn near amputated my pinky on my right/dominate hand.

fires right up cold, smells rich on start. at idle typically see 32 psi. running uh bosch 255. running a complete stock fuel rail.

whew took 5 mins to do this lol now time fer work w/ one hand, check out GD, have a thread about mah finger

 

hey thought about driving my truck... lol so wheres an appropriate start for 172/175? i remember paying $46 each for bosch o2 sensors.

 

Sensors are fine. Those are rich codes.

 

true, but i cant remember what has been said about o2's and running rich. remember reading someone replaced o2's with B grade and sucked fuel down

 

How in the crap did you melt the Green line? lol. - Cat plugged ? EGR still work? I have seen those melt before on exporers, thought that was from a cat - to much heat.

Yea, -running rich just wastes the O2 fairly quickly. Might want to plull them , clean em up and thro the rears in the front.

 

no cats all 4 will be in same shape.

the green line got bounced or pushed under a vac hose and laid against egr tube
