Thread: What are you working on?

Does the pump run at all? A hose from the fuel filter and a jumper at the fuel pump relay. Fill-up the wife's car, all your cans and the ones you can borrow.
A transfer pump from the boat shop?. Hose down in the tank after taking the filler hose off. Siphon it out?

Too heavy full of gas!

I put 1 Ford or Dodge pump in to about 50 GM's. Make certain it's the pump.

Clogged Converter has fooled a lot of guys...................

I did one in my dads Newer dodge pickup. Unbolted, slipped some 2x4 from side to side full length so that the bed sat on them. Then slid it back a couple feet to get to the tank. Good luck on however you go about it.

BTW, here are the last two hone boxes finished...



I went without stain on the Maple. Just a couple coats of semi-gloss clear and some sanding and polishing. Waxed the insides and out just because i figured it could hurt putting a little wax on the bare wood on the insides. The waves on the Maple move with you. Looks really cool. Cant wait to do some scales out of it. But I think I will go with Tru-oil on the scales for a little color.

That Maple is sweet!

Well a little birdie gave me some info on another notorious ford problem, when it comes to fuel pumps not working.

Drop the spare tire and look at the "Fuel pump driver module". They mounted it to a cross member, cast aluminum to steel. 95% of most fuel pump problems.

So in less than a half hour to R&R the module, it was running.





Summit Racing is only 10 minutes from the house, and they keep ample supply in stock, being they used them on diesels as well.

So you ford owner better keep an eye on your tranny and power steering lines, as well as this module.

Steel too aluminum just don't work. The module, now comes with two rubber bushings to keep them from touching.

U could also tan it a bit with a propane torch, it'll darken and make the grain stand out more.

To think Ford actually has an engineering department. I wonder if they came from the same place Boeing got theirs from.

Bob, I attribute a lot of corrosion problems to the salt this state dumps on the roads each winter. Oil spraying your vehicle every fall is almost mandatory, or your car will begin rotting out in less than 5 years. A new vehicle is a small investment for most of us, and we expect to have them several years

The salt content along the roadsides, are equivalent to the oceans beaches.

Yupper, they use a pile of salt on the roads here too which creates the same problem. I still think the engineers should have know better than to use aluminum where it is exposed to salt. Having two dissimilar metals in direct contact with each other probably does not help much either

Dammitt! I have never seen that!

A buddy in Chicago always tells me of crazy stuff......Like strut-mounts rusting out and struts coming through the hood.
He said they don't bother when removing brake drums and rotors. Cut them off with a plasma. Brake and fuel lines.

Perfectly good running cars destroyed by salt. 5 to 10 years old.

Good catch, Mike!
