350 - the prndlll been little loose.. So took the dash apart to investigate.. Apparetly the plastic bushing are worn out.. Which is what's letting the lever move.. While I had the dash out I decided to investigate the power port again.. Before when I tried to troubleshoot it not working it suddenly started working again... Got in the truck the next day nothing.. Neghibors trucks doing the same.. I just decided F* it.. And replaced it with a universal.. Downside is ford used a plastic plug to hold it in place so what should have been a 7/8" hole.. Was made into a hole bigger than 1". Had to find some washers to fix that issue... Then discovered my female blade connectors walked off somewhere again...

Whole time I was dealing with that.. The parents decided to mess withthe truck.. "Trying to be helpful" they refilled my washer fluid tank.. I've been trying to clear that tank out for the last couple months cuz I didn't like what the shop filled it with. That craps been nothing but problems.. I had the tank almost to half when they refilled it.. Now that craps been remixed and gonna take forever to empty again..

problem with the crap thats in that tank is its more of a soap mix than actual window cleaner.. so all it does is smears whatevers on the window.. and on top of that anytime it gets remotely near 32 it freezes the system completely... and whats worse is it doesnt dilute either.. once i got it emptied id planned to take the tank off and thoroughly clean it out and also replace the tubing as well... but now it gotta wait again..

Looks like it was a busy day. That silver plug looks like it went into either a cb or a radio.

i am picky about my windshield fluid. I hate smears on the window when i drive.

Couldn't you just hold it down and run through it all?

That Guage pod looks good too. Very unobtrusive.
