Hmm.. Darn, you should have come to Mt Pleasant Tx... You'd have been in good(?) company.

Dang, were you on the line?

We were parking right on the center Line of Totality, in Kerrville, Texas. Exit 501.

 

wahhhh...
you want some cheese with that wine?

 

Not quite in the center, but close enough. It was pretty cool. Stopped at a bunch of places on the way down just in case the weather didn't behave.

 

It seems like the beast is developing high EGTs more often.
Almost 30K on the engine.

Is there something that might cause that?

Air filter is what’s causing mine right now. Do any of your boost numbers look funky? Is there any junk infront of your intercooler?

I was working during the eclipse. Fortunately I was in the totality line in Castroville. Unfortunately it was cloudy.

 

Heavy foot on the skinny pedal..

 

🤯

 

Air leak....look aorund the bay.

 

Shower thought on the transmission: call your clutch people, or Southbend or Valair and see what they say.

supersticktransmissions.com

Might call these people and see what you think. They claim to do beefier transmissions

 

I'm not sure I'm flattered or flabbergasted - you think of me in the shower!!!

 

I don’t think of you. I think of diesel trucks in the shower. Draw whatever conclusions with that information what you want. 🤣🤣🤣

 

I started another thread - I am bamboozled by my weirdo L99

I hate dumbasses! Seriously! Especially when you know damn well how it should have gone.

Bought new pigtail for the Beast. The first thing that bitch should've done would be to check that the pigtail plug fitted its intended use. But did she? Noooo - - -

Beautiful job taking the harness apart, cleaning it up re-wrapping with new wire loom and such; soldered and marked extension wires on the harness, and wrapped it all up nice and tidy.

And the ****ing plug was not right.

ARRGHHH! I'm gonna fire that bitch - no, really - screw up just one more time . . . .

Sounds so much better when you fall on your sword than when I do it. I have alot to learn from you!

 

You'd fire her but she keeps showing up

 

Buy em books and send them to school and all they do is eat the covers!

 

cant fire someone that works for free.

 

Maybe not, but I can cuss her out . . . .

 

Okay, update - This AC has been quitting on me for a couple of years. That pigtail is a bona fide Motorcraft bought from the local Ford dealer.

In other words, the pigtail plug has been crap since purchased. You can't even trust Ford any more.

But, AC works and it will chase you out of the truck.

 

Did you install the Range Mod valve to stop the hot water from circulating through the heater core while on MAX AC or OFF? I did earlier this week and..... i THINK it has made the AC colder in the truck.... only way to know if it is my medicine giving me heat waves or the environment, would have been for me to take a temp sample, otherwise, I don't know if it made a difference. I am sure where you are, you would notice pretty quickly as hot as it gets there.

 

We never say it enough, so I am saying it again --

THANK YOU to all you folks on here. You have helped me So Much, taught me about my truck, and I couldn't have rebuilt it without you.

 

Considering this for my PVC -- thoughts? Anything better?

I am considering similar as I do not want the oil misting back into my system either. After replacing oil swollen boots, cleaning out intercooler and the mess it causes, I did the dog house mod to open air. Not the best imho, but a catchcan would be my solution too. Watching too Jax.

 

why? PVC pipe is very strong.....usually.


























as far a PCV goes, i just leave it hooked up like ford made it.

 

I’ll put one on when I get to doing the intercooler. Tired of everything being all oily. Don’t want a new intercooler to be full of oil.

Anybody have secret sauce regarding brake pads?

 

Anything that has a lifetime warranty.

 

Good morning, PSN!

Had a crank-no start. Danged if I was going to come in here and ask. . . . Kept trying different things. "Something" was draining the batteries. I charged them to full before every try.

Accidently left the charger on 100A when I went into the house for more coffee and a bio break. Puttered around and was back out after about 40 minutes. . . Yikes!

Beast turned over and started like normal. I have a bad battery . . .

 

I have mine on a NOCO maintainer and find the slow/no crankcase issue to be resolved, if only temporarily for now. My batteries are 3+ years old now so it is about replacement time. Just trying to get the most outta my dollar. Costco/Interstate replacements are where I will be going for new ones.

Glad you found the issue Jax.

 

I prefer the Interstate but I had the two in the Pig go south after 36 months . . . No bueno.

These two in the Beast -I don't remember where I got them. One bad, the other insufficient charge to check. Charged overnight, and will take it to be retested.

Thoughts?

 

Shiny!

I’ll keep my fl1995. My oil analysis stuff looks too good to upgrade.

 

As far as brake pads i stay away from lifetime pads.. figure they are hard and eat the rotors.. rather replace pads an turn rotors then replace them..

 

Lol
