They look good. I always have problems with the seat bottom cover staying in place. How do these workout?

What @dripley and @JAG1 said. Here is the W-T modification.

That's a good point and it should be addressed and corrected as soon as you can because it can led to other problems but I don't think it is causing this no start situation.

NO, @dripley just hunts and pecks at the keyboard.

So, it's an intermittent problem. Next time it happens try starting it with just the right connector at the PCM disconnected. If it still doesn't start disconnect the left connector. The PCM grounds at the passenger side battery. The center connector is for the transmission sensor and solenoid control. Be sure all the connections, battery terminals, and grounds are clean and tight.

I use DOT4 in all my vehicles.

Does it stay running after you reconnect these items or at what point does it die.

Does the starter motor crank the engine but the engine does not start? Which wires from the PCM are you grounding? Color and connector position at the PCM please.

That is 87 and it goes to the starter solenoid, that is why the starter works. RELAY PIN LOCATION OHM READING TERMINAL 85 TO PIN #2 AND THROUGH NSS TO TRANSMISSON CASE FOR GROUND BATTERY VOLTAGE AT TERMINAL 30 VOLTAGE AT TERMINAL 86 WITH KEY IN START POSTION If you have a high OHM reading, 0L or 1, at terminal 85 with the transmission in park or neutral then there is an open circuit. Either the wire is bad from the relay to the switch, the switch is bad, the linkage is out of adjustment or a problem with the part that is cracked in the valve body.

If that metal square is used to activate the switch and it has become dislodged and recessed then that is a problem. If you have tried a new switch and ohm test still shows an open circuit at the center pin or terminal 85 of the starter relay plug in the PDC then yes the problem is in the transmission. What are you jumping directly and which terminal?

The leaks come from the rubber EPDM roof failing and the water running down between the outside siding and interior wall. Also check the fiberglass gelcoat for delamination and microcracking. Check the suspension for wear at the shackles; I've hade to replace mine twice now.

It looks like a bear of a trailer. If you have kids where would they sleep? It's an 07 so, if the roof is original it's at the end of it's life and will need to be replaced soon. See if there has been any leaks by running your hand over the walls an feel for soft spots in the 5mm under layment behind the vinyl wall covering. Check water system for leaks; not only in the piping but the valves and the one way valve to the fresh water holding tank.

With out the ground for the starter relay, pin 85, through the NSS the starter will never work. The power flow is pin #85 to pin #2 (middle pin) of the NSS to the metal part of the NSS body which is grounded when screwed into the transmission case.

Some cities here in California have a 10.25% sales tax rate. They want to get your money as fast as they can. Nancy doesn't need a waiver. She has a tax payer supplied limo with driver and security.

I tell my customers, to justify the repair cost, that if they amortize the repair cost over 12 months it will be a lot less than the cost or even a lease payment. Another cost to consider is the amount of sales tax and registration fees on a new vehicle can be more than the repair on the old vehicle. Sales tax on a $60,000 here in California can be as much as $6,150.

Test ignition switch by volt test at pin 86 at starter relay plug. Battery voltage there when key is turned to start position. Test the neutral safety switch with ohm meter at pin 85 at starter relay plug in the PDC. One meter lead on ground and the other at pin 85. When transmission is in park or neutral the reading should be about 0 ohms. Using a 14 gauge wire between pin 30 and 87 of the same plug should cause the starter to run.

Look at all the fun you get to have. There's been a lot of discussion here on the best/worst ball joints. AC Delco, NAPA are good and MOOG, Spicer are not so good is the general consensus.

The connector (C106) for the CAD is at the right side of the radiator core support; see page 8W-90-21 and 8w-40-6 in the FSM.

Welcome to the mad house; sounds like you'll fit right in here playing with your truck. I'm not that bad, I just need good coffee to keep me working.

These trucks control units are very susceptible to not only poor grounds, weak connections at the battery, bad batteries, corrosion in the connectors but AC voltage from a bad alternator diodes. If the AC voltage is high enough, >0.03VAC, It will cause not only automatic overdrive problems but other drivability problems to the point of ECM/PCM failure. I strongly suggest you test for AC voltage with a quality volt meter, like a FLUKE multimeter, and read over that Ground Reference article.

Check the cable that goes from the alternator to the PDC where the 140 amp fuse and from the other side of the fuse and the battery for high resistance or bad connection.. Has the W-T Mod been done? See below.

Is this what your looking for?

With so many of us here that camp we can tell of our best and worst camp ground stays. Twice a year I try to get to Mono Village just outside of Bridgeport, CA. At 7100' your camping in a forest of large pine trees right next to a deep cold water lake with rainbow and brown trout. You can sit in a boat and fish all day or hike to high alpine mountain meadows. There is a lower lake next to this one and a large reservoir 25 minutes away. The camp ground is rather disorganized and when you check in they tell you to just find a spot and come back and "tell us where you're at". There are less than 50 sites with full hookups and the rest dry camping. I go around the first or second week in May and just about any time in October and I've run into a few forum members there at these times. If you go in the summer the week ends are really busy with Monday through Thursday no to bad. Camp sites with wild life.

Don't forget to test it for AC noise. Can you test the amp out put with the 60mm and then the 58mm pully to see if the amp increase is worth the cost of the Ford pully?

Crack open the injector lines one at a time. When you get to the offending cylinder the noise should go away.
