This is so unheard of. Did this shop offer to sell you a service or replacement head?

I'll spray it with febreze buddy. Fixes everything.

Yes and it is hard to come by depending on your location and parts guy knowledge. I set it to the side. If I need to roll it in some toilet paper and mail it to you I can....but I promise it will be new TP.

75 amp? I found one...and PS it'd be good to ohm those terminals to ground to make sure the next fuse doesn't pop.

If the price is stupid high...let me know. I should have one in my boxes.

Describe the test of the alt. please. Well I didnt test it myself. I took it to autozone and they tested it for me two times. Not sure what kind of test they run. If it's back on the car get a voltage reading at idle. Then turn on a bunch of accessories and get another reading. Usually a diode will...

Describe the test of the alt. please.

Start at the alternator to it's main power supply and then checking what system is pulling juice. I just had to add the alt. cause I had a bolt come loose and cause random craziness like you're having.

Question...what gauge are you taking this reading from? In my experience this is the most inaccurate when it comes to cheapies. Second 34 with vacuum and 43.5 without. So setting it without a running engine can make or break this deal.

I'd say yes this is related. In your shoes ( if it's not an obvious electrical problem) I would unhook the battery and ammeter the pull and start eliminating systems via fuses. Although this sounds more like a major power supply problem IMHO.

Good to hear that you have had success so far...thanks for the feedback! Do you recommend paying a shop to heat coat both the manifold and the turbine housing? Or, can I do it at home with some high temp paint and my oven? Also, do you recommend a special tool to RnR the o2 sensor? And, what EMS ar...

And more and more.

Best case scenario you popped the lower tensioner apart. Oil pressure reading?

Didn't like my far wall after sleeping on it. Re-did some stuff....but now I am framed up to the new interior door. I'm removing the outside entry completely. I don't think I have a picture but I have the header and trim boards setup. It's going smooth now. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n240/Ma...

For some reason I thought that is where you ran into it smbonn.

Out of curiosity did you see this as a frequent issue with ford 4 cyl at your time at a machine shop?

Thank you so much for the kind words!. Staying active...and here goes a dull saturday update. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n240/Marcus240sx/IMG_20130622_173434_253_zps18bd88ea.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n240/Marcus240sx/IMG_20130622_173442_068_zps791f909c.jpg http://i113.photobucke...

Never heard of it. I'll let others chime in, but I'd probably pick up the stuff and go to another shop. Hopefully he hasn't mixed the caps...which could be the case.

For future reference I've also used the reverse method on "mushroomed" or damaged CV axles. Undo a hacksaw blade and assemble it with the blade inside the nut. Three grooves cut. Clean it up a little and and you have chaser for that huge stuff. Had to do it on my Q45 axle.

Thanks guys! Two hindrances. One I bruised at the best, fractured at the worst a couple of ribs last week so the progress slowed. Second I don't have a truck so I have to work with friends and time frames to get sheets and geez I still need a 16' 2x8 which is fun to carry. Might have a truck in my n...

I work as a grounds mechanic on campus...so my yard is getting ready to be revamped. I'll be participating in this thread hahah.

Nice man! Thanks for your old injectors.

Good deal! I cringe for the bolt.

nope I haven't done any boiler tube jobs yet. Not sure if I want to since they are such a bi*ch. I mean I don't have claustrophobia but I don't like to be in jam up spots all day lol. Which I usually have to do anyways since I'm a "smaller" guy that isn't 50-100 lbs over weight lol. I thi...
