W-T ground mod done here and kept my cruise control smooth now. I'm also Timbo's APPS user but when the AC noise got bad it will accelerate up to 75 MPH on its own the coast down to 55 or so and start over randomly. This with fly by cruise control. After the W-T mod no longer even an idea of it happening for over 2 years now.

You did injectors right? There is air in the system I typically take the truck and go out and do a few WOT runs for short burst to bring the rail pressure up to MAX to push all the air out of the lines. The white smoke is because the timing is retarded. This is due to the fact air is compressible so there is timing lost compressing the air bubble and the firing the injectors. The only way to get rid of that is a few WOT run loaded and it will blow the air out on high loads. If not like in my last go around on 7.3L Ford double check your injector wiring this includes CR engines too. They will run rough and idle weird and free revving seems weak and lots of smoke. Totally normal. Go drive it and blow the air out typically in the first run she will clear right up.

Yes. Common Rail engine tend to play good with 200:1. 24V older engine can play with as rich as 128:1 ratio. Basically 1 ounce of oil to gallon of fuel (128 ounces). The 200:1 was designed more around the pilot injection. If that is switched off you can run the 128:1 ratio. Multiple pilot injections of fuel and oil tends to flood hence the 200:1 ratio.

Make sure the slack adjustment is tighten properly. If the slack is excessive the pedal will hang down and touch the pin switch for the brake light. So ad just a few turns to the slack adjustment on the cable and it should stop.

Sorry for my post I was thinking about a 97 I was last working on not to long ago. Yeah its a 1st gen... 1989 to 1993...

Works mostly for sequential reading like page 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. But not when its sector 512, 97, 34, 1,024, etc. There is no read ahead possible being that is testing more the ability to hunt sectors down fast use mechanical drive. Hence the match in performance. Linux has a internal file function called "preload" and I do have it loaded up. It reads common files up to memory and call files from memory cache more than physical drives too. Long way from how Microsoft works. As for Microsoft I've seen a few brief articles about splitting the partitions up in the same style but it bit more technical than how Linux handles this. Linux gives you this option during installing the actual OS. As for Windows the last time I played there it didn't give options for partitioned drives during install. I'm sure there is a way but how hard is it for the end user?

I'm buried out in the Midwest of Idaho. The member map is a helpful tool for getting to know other members and possibly some help.

The only time I've seen blow by is guys running large shower head nozzles and burn a piston a bit and then the blow by starts. For stock engines typically they are way under fueled to do much harm at all. Don't get me wrong excessive heavy loads and heavy throttle you can still do damage to a stock 1st Gen. The biggest thing is finding out if the KDP is handled? Gear case cracked or leaking? Fuel heater been removed or is is leaking? Lift pump in good condition? Typically about 4 PSI to 6 PSI fuel pressure. Valves been adjusted? When was the injectors and the injection pump possibly rebuilt if at all? Injectors are typically wore out about 100k to 150k miles. Injection pumps get some wear in internals not as bad as the VP44 but still P-pump do wear some. Timing? Did it slip? Common for all 12V p-pump engines the gear is without a key so its possible to slip timing. Rest is taking the time to look at all fluids and levels look for clues. Crawl under the truck and look up. I typically go truck shopping with overalls. Spend more time up-side-down under the truck there is more clues. The top side is typically power washed to hide leaks and other issues. I could go on for every things to look at... I would most likely buy it after a quick inspect then tear into things even deep and fix it all up solid.

Well truthfully no... There is no air for the roster to even crow. No air to push through his vocal cords...

Best thing to do is contact the RV manufacture and see what they have to offer being the Ford chassis is sold as incomplete and its the RV responsibility to finalize the wiring maps and service manuals for the incomplete vehicle. This was a reason why I gave up my 1976 Dodge Motorhome (Class C). Dodge van head and then Fleetwood (I think) build the rest of the RV. Being Fleetwood would have all the info on that incomplete. You could look for Ford vans incomplete wiring map possibly find something.

Ok here is my example I'm on Ubuntu Linux. So my SSD drive is 250 GB drive. I've got all my Linux ROOT files on the SSD. Being Linux gives me the choice of placing all the read only files in one partition. So the 250 SSD has a partition for the Linux ROOT and then space for Windows 7 (VirtualBox). This ROOT partition is only system files and are typically only read from here. The only writes that might happen is configuration changes or updates. Then my storage drive is a 1 TB (1,000 GB) hard drive. Now Linux allows me to specify my HOME partition. This is where all your store of files, downloads, pictures, music, videos, etc all stored. This allows me to keep the writing stuff off the SSD extending my hard drive life of the SSD. Being most are good for 100,000 write cycles. My method reduces that write cycle to only when I run my system up date. This drive is a hybrid both SSD and Mechanical. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y upgrade sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean Then my massive backup drive which covers both the local machine and second backup of the website when I'm doing work. Ubuntu does a awesome job of backing up everything. This is a older mechanical drive that is even slower at 5,400 RPM.

About normal. Blow by issues are rare for the 1st and 2nd gens. It the 3rd Gens up with blow by issues when injectors stick open and wash the rings out.

Rear center light has a bad reputation for leaking rare for the window glass to leak unless its a slider. I've got a solid rear window.

No joke... With my 1,000 a week runs to handle @MoparMomdialysis trips was a mileage adder for sure. Now I'm mostly just local running. About once a week or every other week head down to Lewiston or Boise for groceries and supplies. It will take me a bit to get geared up but I'm looking at possibly doing a bit of hotshot work with the 2006 Dodge being its got a Gooseneck hitch.

I wonder if his rear brake light is leaking water through too? I would look at resealing the rear cab light and then make sure all the drain holes are functional and clear.

Either one is fine. I'm trying ti get my tune back in action I was hitting 19 to 20 MPG pretty constant then down the truck over a month and now I'm trying to catch up again 16 to 17 MPH sucks big. Today I'll finish off the my Blue Top Steering install. Then run to McCcall and get a new crank seal and do that over again she is slobbered all over herself with at least a full quart of oil. 7 x 0.009 or your 8 x 0.0085 still smaller than what I run with the 7 x 0.010. The 8 hole would be interesting wider spray.

You made the first 100k miles. @dripleybeen to the moon and back. (487k miles). I'm right behind him with my truck at 424k miles. Another ~50k miles to get home from the moon. Getting to the moon is 238k miles. Moon and back is 487k. Around the world is barely 50k miles.

Mine the bolt for the ground came loose.

WiFi should be stronger signal. At least my WiFi here reaches across the yard nearly to the fence. But alas I'm Android and use bluetooth... Merry Christmas... ive gotta get back to trans service...

The Bluetooth for me is about 20 to 30 feet distance. I've also cut the bluetooth head lead and extended into the cab this gave even more distance being there is glass windows to transmit out of version trying to transmit through the hood metal. Bluetooth head is just under my my shift tower plastics. Yeah it even snowing today and its cold out too.

Kind of nice to be inside the house and monitor the truck as it warms up a bit and I can finish a bit of web work before I leave for work... I just had to share this I don't know if most of you know this trick. Yuo can see the truck is just outside the window. My cellphone is on my desktop.

I seated my studs into the bottom of the hole then backed off just slightly. I didn't want it be wedged tighten after another 300k miles somewhere around 700k miles next time.

I found a few just under a 100 dollars.

Yeah when I did the mine there was no 1/4 or 1/2 turn stuff. I know the final torque was 125 foot/pounds for ARP 425 studs.
