Just waiting on parts... from 3 vendors... Bane of my existence, both here at home and work...

Not any wider than a F250

oops fat fingered... N/M

I never tried to re-core but I did try to repair a hose fitting. It not easy as the tanks need to be very clean for the solder to work. The radiator shops have vats of acid used to clean the tanks... this make the solder work better. One of the reason the shops charge so much... environment...

I have tracked down 2 leaks that I want to see if I can fix. The is stuff in the way thought. First is the A/C duct/hose (not sure what to call it) that supplies air to the driver's knee vent. I believe the diesel leak is on the hose/clamp/line the comes from the fuel filter. I would like to...

Thanks for the id... Had me puzzled. By any chance would have have a picture of the thingie in place... Not to sure how it mounts...

I am not too sure how to take this. First you say you would be more than happy to help then go on then say you have no intentions of helping. Not too sure why you need to say this. I know this engine family very well, Own many in the past and have been working on them for decades... and I...

No Ford parts on this truck that I am aware of...

Ah yes the weather... Not only have I been dealing with cold and wet... I get wind there also... Man I hate the wind! Give me wet, give me cold but wind, yuck!

Well the number of flashes seem to be a code. I am willing to bet we can figure it our here. A lot of these threads I read seem to needlessly replace items. So far we have 1 4 and 7 flashes. I need to sit down and read all the stuff above to see of there is any more clues. It did state one...

Post 19 is reinforcing my under volt thoughts...

I will have to check my grounds. More and more I think about this I am convinced the box looks for what the voltage is at power up. A bad ground would cause a voltage drop and thus no joy. Maybe the 7 flashes is a under volt code? Wouldn't this be awesome to know!

Good information and this makes me think there is more to these boxes. When I flip the switch the wait light starts to flash. I wonder if the box needs to see the full voltage when it is powered up and before starting. I know the voltage will drop when the starter and glow plugs are on. Maybe...

Well the 7 flashes of the wait light. Is this a diagnostic code? if it is for what? I haven't found that posted here. I may have missed it. I have looked through the forum and seen people talk about one flash. From what I read in the above documents this is a lamp test. this makes since. I...

The stuff I attached tells me what is inside the boxes. I have not been able to find that anywhere. Also I am shocked that no one here knows how the boxes work. This place is wealth of knowledge and thought this would be a good place to ask. You sure can test the glow plug with a test light...

Thanks for the input! It just I am not one to load up the parts cannon and start shooting. In my limited years of troubleshooting I just don't find the parts cannon all that effective. I want to know how to tell what part is bad. Once I get an understanding of how the system works then I can...

I have been doing some research trying to find testing information and how they work. Maybe my search FU isn't good as I really can't find anything. So I downloaded the patents and took a look. My focus will be on the EESS , 3S and the TSU. The issues I have is the wait light flashes 7...

I found this laying down on top of the engine. What is it and where does it go? Is this the part to keep my truck from blowing up?

What is missing on this air cleaner housing? there's a silver spot and a hole...

They are real testers just testing the battery differently. They measure the internal resistance and calculate the CCA. For the most part they work... only have an issue when the battery heats up internally and the internal resistance goes up. Both a resistance load tester and the ones that...
