I don't drive the truck much, but i don't remember seeing temps this high. About 3 months ago i got a coolant flush, shop uses motorcraft gold. Anyway since then I've been driving the truck more frequently. These numbers are all w/o a trailer, just normal driving. Mornings temps run 202-205* with outside temp around 45*. Afternoon temps run about 205-212* with outside temp about 70*.

Yesterday i was doing a little elk scouting for archery. About 10-20mph on gravel road, steep grade, i was getting 215-227* with outside temp of about 70* and the fan was kicking on. I don't think I've ever heard the fan kick on even when towing.

Could something been affected during coolant flush? Also i have the capability if data logging. Are there parameters i could check that could help me diagnose this problem? Thermostat opening, etc....?

But they have raised the price up to $640 and it is nice, but really a dull boring readout. Also not enthused about the screw in wire terminations for the interface board. Seems so hokey, where a proper male/female connector would look so much cleaner.

I purchased a 90-91 Taurus digital instrument cluster off ebay on the cheap.
Purchased it prematurely, without doing all of the research yet. But said what the heck, was only 35 bucks plus shipping.
going to see what can be done to install this. Has anyone else done a similar swap yet?

I considered a 1990 Riviera cluster but the tach requires a data stream from the body computer.

It will take me awhile to get this done, as I have several dash modifications I need to accomplish along with the instrument cluster install.
1) I need to convert from a factory a/c cab dash to non a/c due to the fact I had to relocate the evaporator to inside the cab.(installed a dealer air system)
2) I need to obtain and Install nicer registers and a/c controls for the dealer air system.

The only things that activate when the key is turned is the idiot lights for the brake and fasten seatbelt. None of the gauges will operate. I've replaced the fuses, and even swapped instrument clusters to check and see if it was localized to just the one I had, which it isn't.

I'm also having issues with getting the fan to work for my a/c and heat. I hear only what I can describe as a "relay" under the dash clicking, but the fan motor will not operate. Can someone please provide a diagram for removing the heater box on a truck with factory a/c? I'm not quite sure where to begin here.

I've got a few more electrical issues to cover, but for now these are the most pressing ones.

Thanks in advance y'all. ]]> desperado_18_2000 http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1244431-instrument-cluster-various-electrical-issues.html http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1244430-2008-f250-brakes-going-to-floor-new-post.html Mon, 20 May 2013 16:09:34 GMT I usually don't ask questions, but I have an issue that may/may-not have come up before.
I believe my brakes have a problem.
Lately, I can stomp on my brakes @ 50 mph and they won't trigger the abs or come close to skidding the tires. The peddle goes to the floor if I push hard enough and the truck doesn't seem to stop fast like it used to.

I'm wondering if there is an issue I should be focusing on, like swelling brake lines or some issue you may know of.

I'll try bleeding the brakes this coming weekend, but i think its going to be a bad brake line or something.

Any ideas? ]]> Mike SVOR http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1244430-2008-f250-brakes-going-to-floor.html
