    speakers in rear door

    I pulled my door kick panels up on each side., you'll find OEM wiring running down the drivers side. You can pull the corner panels and have full access so you can enclose the wires in some small loom. As far as speakers, I custom fit my Kenwoods using a template(used a piece of cardboard) to...

    My 7.3 issues

    Ja cain, i understand exactly what you are talking about. One of my mos' was 72e trained using cold-war era equipment. Do you remember the old "Tripoli" commo we tried to use in the 80's. I was just trying to explain the function of the various switches( and how a couple worked as an example) A...

    hopping and vibration

    Does it go away above 45? Did you keep your driveline balanced/inline. You can incorrectly install a joint off 90* throwing them out of balance which creates a vibration.

    My 7.3 issues

    Reading through this i had to think about how to post a reply. This is long winded so I apologize. Using this forum is great, a lot of experience and knowledge. You stated (originally) several things regarding gp's, starting and irregular idle and rev issues. New batteries, new starter and I...

    Where did I go wrong?

    You have an electrical issue. Whtch your tach. You can see it bounce at idle as well as when you sethigh idle. Try holding the throttle at 1700-1800 steady for a minute. Watch your tach. If it bounces you have a signal issue from the CPS. This doesn't necessarily mean the sensor is bad tho. Do...

    CPS/CAMP Sensor Diagnostics

    Ja cain I understand what you are talking about on the vfd's, used to have any issue with Infinity drives. I am referring to the "back-flash" transient surge that is created when a magnetic field collapses. The IDM is designed to absorb these but over time from vibration, corrosion, component...

    Carb monkey needs help with 6.0?!

    Purchase AE so you can diagnose and fix it yourself. There are ALOT of smart experienced people here that will help but you need to know what the PCM is seeing to fix it correctly. Don't just throw parts at it.

    CPS/CAMP Sensor Diagnostics

    If you are having any issues with the MFS, wipers, signals or hazards(hazards are what seemed to act up first, had to cycle a couple of times for awhile to work), i'd definately look at replacing or cleaning it. Cleaning it is easy just take your time and don't "scratch/pitt" the circuits(fine...

    CPS/CAMP Sensor Diagnostics

    Disassemble the MFS carefully. Pretty easy just 4 screws. There is a slide in there that has yo align with the lever. I used 1000grit to clean it as you want it cleaned/polished without scratches. Yes I used a light coat of dielectric grease. Doing controls for so long I used vav commo wire. You...

    Blue smoke on cold start...

    This is what I was taught way back in the 80's. Batteries have 6 cells on a 12v battery. Each one, under optimal conditions is rated for 2.3v which is equal to 13.8v. At 5% over you are at 14.49. At 10% over you come to 15.18v. It's been awhile but I believe Ford doesn't recommend over 14.5v...

    CPS/CAMP Sensor Diagnostics

    Working on getting my video's up. The issue seems to have been associated to the wiper circuit. Was it because of the corrosion in the MFS, I believe so but I'm not positive which is why I wanted to go into so much detail and post this. "WoodnThings" fixed his installing just shunts but said...
