I have to fix my O2 sensor wiring again. Finally got a plug to replace the one I melted on the last trip out. Wire colors were different but I thought I saw a pattern - looks like I was wrong. Check engine is intermittantly coming on and its running really rich. So today I get to take the FSM connector diagram and figure out what I screwed up.
Hmm, it was all wired correctly. Guess I'll have to wait for it to happen again and read the codes. Could be that the new O2 sensor is junk. |

Goy the oil change done but the oil filter was being a PITA. It was a Motorcraft so it didn't fit the standard filter socket. I had to use the strap wrench and it kept slipping. Then it started to crush.  Frams have never done this.  I date my oil filters so I can easily see when I changed the oil last. Unfortunately I kept putting this last one off and off and off. Then When I overheated, oil leaks from what looks like the valve cover. The date read 05/2008.  Luckily, I don't drive that much but that's still way over do. Typically I do one ever year as I put less then 10K miles on it in that time frame. Oh and the trick to get a slippery oil filter off with a strap wrench is to wrap it with sand paper, grit side down. Then you have to twist it the correct way.  The Sure-drain still works like it's supposed to, although slow. I got a whole 3 quarts out of the engine.  Five quarts went in.  Oh yeah, while I was under there, I was looking at home much room there is. I'm not sure if you can fit the larger PH977a filter in there. The PH8a gets awfully close to the engine mount when screwing it off. Might be better to use it with a remote oil filter kit. |

Big channel locks is all I ever use for filters. Crushes them for a good grip.

i'm really considering getting one with a thermostat for a cooler - if you find something reasonable let me know. |

Yeah we used to always have a set for filters but it's pretty tight in there. The other option is to drive a screwdriver through and twist it off but that makes a huge mess. The strap wrench with sandpaper worked well. |

Yes it's 4. The larger filter allows for a little more then 1/2 a qt. Also the SAFE area is a quart. So I'm at the top of the safe area. |

I've been using the M301 size Filters for a while. That's about what I am getting in there, somewhere between 4.5-5 quarts instead of the usual 4 quarts.

Well, it's sunny today but tomorrow is supposed to rain. New project is to reseat the windshield frame so it doesn't leak. I think TSD actually mentioned this in my 'leaks' thread. I have also found a new seam sealer that is better then the RTV I used and is clear. I'll probably end up cleaning out the RTV and applying the sealer later on as well.

Spent the day stripping a club members 4 banger comanche. He got t boned by a car going about 45mph, which pushed him sideways until the truck rolled. Luckily the rocker guards kept the cab from collapsing and kept him out of the hospital. He already bought a 6 cyl commanche to move all the good parts to. BTW - there is a good external slave AX5 for sale out of this rig if anyone is looking for one  |
