Subject: Re: aluminum welding Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 09:47:33 -0700 I've tried something of this sort too, and it is indeed tricky. Unlike solder or brass, you can't go over the joint that you just made. The aluminum solder gets all grainy and the joint looks nastier and nastier the more you try to make it look good. Nevertheless, when you get it right, it works pretty well. I've also heard that it's possible to weld aluminum with oxy-acetylene torches too, but have only read about it.

The only true SEFI (where each injector fires independantly) will be found on later mass-air trucks, or if you have installed an SVO mass-air conversion. Rade 80-96-list ford-trucks.com wrote:

Subject: Lights out Hello all, I have been on the digest for a year and a half, but have not sent anything for about a year. I have a bad situation with my headlights going out in a '92 E-350 Club Wagon. I thought I heard of this before but was not able to locate on the FTE site through the archive search. It appears to me to include both the headlights and parking lights. The dash lights stay on. They stay off for a few seconds, sometimes longer. I can still "flash to pass" although when I return to normal, the lights may or may not be on again. Playing with the lamp switch appears to help sometimes, but not always. At first I thought it might be a short that was bump sensitive, but I have since determined that the bumps do not cause it to go out or come back. Additional background: Two days before this occurred, I had the water pump replaced. A few weeks ago I noticed a humming/buzz from the headlamp switch one day. I turned off the lights (it was during the day) and then later turned them on again, and the noise stopped and did not return. I have not heard the humming/buzz at all since that time. I am not certain if it is still making other noises, since I have only had this happen while on the road which makes it too noisy to hear, and too difficult to lean over to listen while driving. I think that it is making some noises though. I run 80 watt low beams and 100 watt high beams. It occurs on either setting, usually after being on a few minutes to hour. Outside air temperature was between 17-35 degrees f. I attempted to check the breaker/relay for the lights, but found no location listed when I went to the owners manual at the gas station. Previously thought I had seen it listed in the book. Previously I have run up to 12 hours straight at night, on many occasions, with no problems, so I do not really think it is overloading, although it could be a breaker failing. If this is the switch how do I get it in and out? Thanks for any help and ideas.

Subject: Replacing oil pan gasket on 91 F150 Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 12:16:06 -0800 Hello fellow listers, I am a newbie to this list and need some helpful advice. I own a 1991 F150 with the 5.8L EFI engine. My oil pan gasket is bad and I'm loosing about a quart of oil a week. The major dripping is around the rearmost area next to where the engine mates up with the transmission. The dealer want $500.00 to change the gasket. I consider that outrageous. I've replaced the oil pan gaskets in my other cars, so feel capable of handling the job on the F150. In reading the Haynes manual, it mentions that I have to unbolt the engine from the mounts and raise it a couple of inches. That does not concern me too much. But the book also says to remove the EFI plenum (sp). This is something I most definitely do not want to do. My question is this, can anyone offer some advice on how a shade tree mechanical like myself can change the oil pan gasket without having to disassemble "half" my engine to do so? TIA, Dave 1991 F150 5.8L EFI ------------------------------ From: MRStace84 aol.com

I had to remove the plenum, just unbolting the motor mounts would not allow me to have enough clearence to remove the oil pan. Removing the plenum isn't as bad as it sounds, there should be just 6 bolts holding it on, the worst one is the middle "inside" bolt that's actually a torques head screw, and naturally there are some hoses that have to be disconnected. (sorry it's been a while and I don't remember all the details). Maybe someone else will have some better advice.

Subject: Re: Location of Knock Sensor Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2000 15:23:22 -0600 I think this is true for the V8's (my 95 5.0L has it in the same place) but I think all of the 4.9L engines have the knock sensor on the side of the block like my original post. This was about a 4.9L wasn't it? OK I went and looked at a company truck we have here, 94 F150 with the 4.9L and I was close the knock sensor is on the side of the block between the distributor and the coil not in front of the coil, or at least I'm 98% sure it's the knock sensor. I don't remember if your original post says but why are you looking at the knock sensor anyway? -----Original Message----- From: 80-96-list-bounce ford-trucks.com

After the move, the message boards and mailing lists on the old server will be disabled and DNS records will be updated to point to the new server. The new server will be immediately active. However, DNS records take time to propagate across the Internet. Your hosting company may take 8-72 hours before it points to the new server. Until your host's DNS gets the changes, you will not be able to send email to our lists nor will you be able to use the message boards. You will, however, continue to receive list mail correctly. Your patience in this matter is appreciated.

There is a difference between the manual and auto locking hubs outer lock nut that requires some things to be changed according to Warn and a couple of the wrecking yards I tried to swap the autos for. I only paid $50 for the 1/2 ton style Warn premiums for my Bronco.

I had a rock jump out in front of my truck this weekend whle I was hunting, and I will be in need of some parts... anyone know of a wrecked 80-96 F150 or Bronco around? I did the old Dukes of Hazzard trick after hitting this 3 ft rock in high grass at about 20mph... cut it left, truck falls, now going towards drainage ditch, cut it right to avoid ditch and end up in ditch on right side of road... Limped her home the 5 miles to the cabin while my two brothers continued to laugh and checked for damage. Injuries include: RH Radius arm, Rim and 33x12.50 BFG, entire steering linkage now looks like a straightened paper clip, pitman arm, busted steering box (only turns right now) possible bent RH beam, and sprained fingers and wrist. Overall, it was a good weekend... :) Joe in CT Lost in Jersey ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 17:59:27 +1100 From: les williams <lesw cyber.net.au>
Subject: Re: El Paso "Inventor" G'Day Nephew Phred, I thoroughly enjoyed you post on the 'inventor', I guess that explains in part, why the propane industry is in such dis-array. It could make a good movie script, but no one will believe it!! ;-)) I printed out the post and and it was discussed at friday arvo's 'knitting circle', the incredible part to me was, one of the guy's present is a specialist S/Steel welder/fabricator, & ex-pat Canadian but not a motor mechanic, was involved in trying to manufacture, out of stainless steel, a petrol heating devise some 15 years ago. The plans were supposed to have come from some professor type person from Texas. >From what he can recall the devise used a series of S/Steel tubes & plates to raise the petrol temperature to about 850-900f, off the exhaust. Apparently he had considerable difficulty achieving this target temperature consistantly. His memory of how exactly the very dangerous petrol vapour now under pressure, was supposed to be controlled by the carby is unclear, but when he reported back to the professor how near he was to actually trying to make it run, was told to stop all work on the project, immediatly. My mental picture of a carby being used to control hot petrol vapour is one of total disaster. Exciting stuff !!! regards [uncle]Les, lost in the land of Oz ....
