Projects for an 89 F350 - Round 2
Round 1 was:
I also had to add a few unplanned fixes:
So I have a few holdovers, but not too shabby considering this is not yet a daily driver for my son. The second tank wasn't absolutely necessary and finishing the A/C and bedliner / paint touchups is not a priority in winter in Texas especially since the power windows now work. Need a little more sunshine & spending money to hit the holdouts. EDIT: Kept plugging away at the A/C.
Round 2 will be:
I tried hard to find the alternator to upgrade to when we replace the power steering pump, but I just couldn't locate a used one that was 130A that fit at a decent (salvage yard) price.
Looking forward to this year I hope to get those things all knocked out before summer.
- Ignition - cylinder & rod
- Wiper operation
- Re-key front doors
- Find/fix leak in the power steering
- Get the A/C operational and more research and troubleshooting and a 2nd try
- Bed liner spray in bed & touch ups everywhere else
- Power lock actuator fix
- Preparing for 2nd fuel tank install (truck had one previously before PO)
I also had to add a few unplanned fixes:
- Power window motor replacements
- Spare Tire Carrier fun (which I spent time on but avoided fully fixing for now)
- Battery replaced
- Bought a new spare wheel & tire

Round 2 will be:
- Tie Rod End boot replacements
- Front suspension otherwise? +Alignment
- Alternator 3G upgrade
- Rear door power lock actuator replacement
- Water pump replacement likely
- Maybe some transmission investigation
- Unexpectedly dealt with Signal Switch & Hazards
- Had some fun with Brake Lights, Fuses and wire shorts (still ongoing)
