I hear you on wanting the fancy tool reader merbob. I got boned by a bad cps before. I swapped out all kinds of stuff, even got a generic cps from autobone, amd it was bad out of the box. I found the oem cps in the glove box missing its o ring and covered in about 20 years of rtv and grease. Wiped it off and put a new ring on it and the truck literally fired right up.
Got a brand new international cps in the glove box now. Been running on that old one for about a year now.
After all of my reading, I don’t think I’ll ever put a sensor on this truck that isn’t motorcraft or IH. Luckily enough guys on here have posted about keeping a CPS in the glovebox that I went to riffraff and bought one. Especially being a $26 part. Every time I have weird timing/no start issues I’m going to try this first haha
New turbo outlet o ring and v-band arrive today to get my boost leak fixed up. I also have a new riffraff intake boot coming since my factory one is coming apart, as well as a HPX line. Should be a good afternoon!
I too have that RR unit. Seemed to help I guess. Now I have a big HPOP so it does it internally.
May as well upgrade to that Stancore GP relay like us cool guys.
Which HPOP do you have? That’s high on my list to do next.
I need to do some research on the best GPR, I plan to do new gpr, glow plugs, uvgh all this fall before it gets cold again. Alternator is probably next though. It is getting worse every day

I think the HPOP will make a big difference.
anyone have advice on how to get IC pipes to line up with the turbo outlet? My turbo outlet pipe is too tight to my intake spider to get a good seal on the outlet

I wish that worked. I had everything apart again today. Probably have to loosen the turbo bolts
but at the same time that makes no sense. The pedestal only goes in one spot, and the turbo only goes in one spot on that. Idk I’ll just keep talking to myself until the problem magically goes away

Do you have plenum inserts with with banks kit? I noticed mine fits sloppy with them, pretty sure I would need to take the difference off the twin ram piece to make it fit. Because if this I can't bolt the two pieces together currently.

you sir, are a genius. I never in my life would have thought of that, but that is my exact problem. Guess I’ll get the grinder out in the AM after I finish reading 100 pages of closing documents
You can rebuild a 3G really easy. I needed a replacement as my rectifier pack melted down on me.
Start by pulling the voltage regulator. You may just need a set of brushes on the voltage regulator. Cheap, quick, easy. If it is noisy, bearings are easy to do too.
My HPOP is that Adrenaline. Huge difference in power on my truck. I actually have fuel atomization now.

I have the battery light any time I’m not hard into the throttle, and I had to jump the truck after a couple days so I know the batteries aren’t charging well. I’ll have to look into a rebuild vs replace.
for the HPOP I’m trying to decide between the CNC and Adrenaline. After hearing about all of the bad out of the box t500s I’m not super interested in that one. Trying to decide if the Adrenaline is worth the extra 2-300 bones
In life and wrenching news, I closed on the new house today. Current house im renting has a standard 3 car garage and a super sloped driveway, so I’m always working on the Ford in the crappy sloped driveway. At the new place, I’ll finally be able to work on her inside! Super tight (like 3-4” per side to the walls) but the engine bay will be easily accessible!
