    Showerhead filter alternative?

    Couldn't a guy use an in tank filter like this instead of the brittle showerheads? https://www.amazon.com/Sports-Parts-Inc-Tank-Filter/dp/B006ZM9SCS?tag=oilburners-20

    Showerhead filter alternative?

    Great ideas. This is what's incredible to me, I put this sending unit in 3yrs ago.. look how rusty! The inside of the tank was OK, except for rust off this and (3yr old) showerhead chunks floating around. Check out the fuel water filter too. It's after the FSV unfortunately..

    Showerhead filter alternative?

    Thanks for the info, they say it's for diesel but don't list the ohms, only $22 https://www.ebay.com/itm/134946656796?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-rdbn_brrji&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IhNYtlbLQTK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Showerhead filter alternative?

    Fellas.. Newish front gas tank. New sending unit 3yrs ago. Changed fuel filter, full of rusty junk. Pulled sending unit, totally rusted! About to pull and clean tank out and get new sending unit ($31 on ebay) 1. Anyone use an alternative screen instead of the prone to break off showerhead in...

    How to set the timing on your 6.9 or 7.3 IDI and how to buy timing equipment.

    I did it! Was alot easier than I thought.. just a lines width towards the passenger fender. Sucks the timing kits are so expensive..

    Brake light stuck on?

    Friends, Why would my drivers side brake light be stuck on when I turn on running lights/headlights but brake light works fine without them on? Bad ground? I unscrewed and sanded the screw to what looks like a ground from the taillights..

    underbody/frame coating recommendations

    Powdercoat is best, this is great too https://www.ebay.com/itm/275258389941?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DDxNCJwPQLK&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IhNYtlbLQTK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Random surging while driving

    Truck ran perfect, sat for a week. Then was hard to start, checked the air valve and yup, bled some air. Finally started, idled 30 seconds then raced and died. Looks like I'll be crawling around checking for air leaks also. Too bad there isn't an easier way to pinpoint the problem area, like on...

    Hey friend, how do you like GA vs TN? I'm up in Nashville but work might move me your way. Hope all's well.

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    I'd use it again! Just got a bad or old batch. A friend of mine who is an actual body man only uses Feather Fill. Sure sands easier than Everglass..

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    I actually was using Feather Fill but I must have gotten a bad gallon, or it had been sitting on the shelf too long at the distributor.. it wouldn't stick. I had to redo the hood because of that actually!

    Thanks so much! And thanks for all the love. It was a fun project, but a lot more fun now that it's done!

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    I think shes about done now! The rims looked awful, plasticote type rubbery spray can job done by previous owner. I had them sandblasted/powdercoated to more of an original type color ($400) and found original hub caps on ebay ($200?). Problem being, they weren't 4 wheel drive. So I Dremel...

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    Tailgate was mighty rough up top. Smacked the high spots in and used more bondo than I'd like but I'd rather not buy a Chinese replacement. It looks pretty good, wavy.. but not ugly. Starting on the pinstripe here (lots of research to find the right one and color, ford part #E5TZ-1520000-FU...

    Other bedside. Same story. The smallest amount of filler/bondo as necessary to smooth things out. I wasn't trying to eliminate the waves in the metal, just the ugly little dents here and there.

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    Bedside. Typical little dents. I didn't remove the moulding or trim, too scared it would break. I was able to pop it out enough to spray under it though so it looks like I did. Just lots of masking.

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    The pinstripe.. rough. Hard to get the curve right even with 3M striping tape. I'd never done that before. It turned out about an 8 out of 10. Had to mask and spray one color then flip the masking to spray the other color then clear the panel. I learned a lesson though.. on the other side I just...

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    Door jam on the passenger's side.. quicker, easier after having done the drivers already. Spray guns: Iwata LPH80 is great for these smaller areas. It's a smaller detail type gun, less overspray.. for the big areas like Hood/Bedside I used LS400 for basecoat and WS400 for Clearcoat. Primer...

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    Doors were sagging a bit so I painted new hinges (replacing pins didnt solve it). Don't be an idiot like me and take off both hinges at the same time! Had to remove the fender in order to align them again I have some extra hinges if anybody wants them! Just pay for shipping from Nashville...
