The one I received does not have a logo that I can see anywhere on it.

 

My ratchet and impact I ordered online from Home Depot on Monday came yesterday. Super fast shipping and didn't charge my card until AFTER it was delivered. I'll be trying them out this morning when I tear the top off the motor to chase an oil leak. How much fun!!!!! At least it's going to be in the 70's here today.....

 

Sounds like a fun day for you. You're making me want to get that ratchet. Wonder why you don't see the ratchet sold with the battery? I found the ratchet for 83 and the battery and charger for 30. I would get the kit you ordered but I already have a couple rigid impact drivers.

Have fun

 

New batteries installed.

My day went to hell in a handbasket. Right after I posted I got a call from my son who had a "blowout" on a used tire he bought for his work truck yesterday that, thank God, he hadn't paid for yet. Turns out the tire was dry rotted and had a nail in it that the shop hadn't fixed. After an exciting tire change the guy was a real A hole about the tire. Guess what he got??? Nothing. Guys like him give good shops a bad name...Grrrrrrrr.

And my wife called to say that the window motor went out on the Escort and wouldn't roll up. I decided it was NOT a good day to work on the truck. Haha.

 

So for the last 3 years, on my isspro EV2 gauge I've run about 65psi idle fuel pressure and 50 at wide open. Suddenly, I'm at 70-75 idle and 60 wide open. The 75 just started tonight, but the only recent fuel system events was gelling a week ago and new fuel filters right after. Truck is running 110%... Knock on wood. Think it could be a gauge sending unit issue or something else?

 

Is the test port on the fuel bowl post filter or pre filter?

I'm thinking that you still had some residual wax stuck in the filter and the pressure increase is due to a dirty filter.

 

Went and had a look at her in icu.

 

I'm not sure... It's just on the front of the regulator. I changed both filters after it gelled, and I'm trying to run down this tank to almost E cause it's filled with Ford antigel, Howes, 911 and 2 stroke oil... It's been quite warm all week and the truck is running like a top so Im not sure what's going on

 

I hear ya, I'd hate to just throw $ at it without knowing for sure.

I know on my 7.3L when my fuel pressure went up to 75-80 psi on the pre filter port of the fuel bowl it was due to a dirty filter. Isspro sent me a new sending unit because the troubleshooting we did made us think it was a bad sending unit. But it turned out to be a filter.

 

looks like the shop gave your truck a super body lift kit to me

 

The port should pre filter do to the location. One thing could be something
got behind the poppet valve and is holding it closed somewhat. With a fully
warmed engine you would think that the fuel would be clear of any gel.
BUT Wait I thought of one other place geling still could effect it. If the return
line was full of gel that would make the pressure go up do to not venting back
to the tank the way it should. Any chance you can get the truck into a nice HOT
garage for some thaw time? The other option is to tent the lower half and blow
in HOT air till all the lines and fuel is warmed to clear any gel,

I hope it's nothing serious, or nothing that will cause any damage. I'm going to do a mechanical pressure check later to verify if the inside gauge is accurate or not.

 

The weird thing is my truck is running better than ever. I've never seen a pressure over 70 since I've owned it but my truck has never felt more powerful. Feels like my low power problem is gone...

 

Get in there and get the harpoon mod done on the tank.
