I'll send you a PM or something of another nature. I don't want to muck up this thread with 7.3 BS

 

LOL Kris. I wondered if you'd see that or not.

Small steps being made right now. Got the aftermarket fuel filter mounted up and the sensors for the gauges put in place. I'll get some pics of those things here in a bit and upload them.

 

A lot of new dashboards are computer controlled, like it was mentioned. While the dash might only physically receive an On/off signal from the oil pressure sender, it will use the engine RPMs to make the gauge move.

 

Nice to see the progress Jeremy. Check your PMs I'll be in your neck of the woods in the afternoon...

I'm not too fond of publicly interwebbing pics of personal stuff, so you can see (ride, drive) first hand what I've done.

 

Come out to MD dammit!

 

So my truck is a peice eh, Kris?

Truck looks good JT!

 

I posted on your other thread for the oil pressure, but I'll post it here too just in case. I had a sender go bad and all they are is a switch that grounds out with pressure. I tested continuity with engine running from sensor to ground and got nothing. Then I used a 5A fused jumper (just in case) from the harness connector to ground and gauge read normal pressure. I replaced sensor and all is normal again.

You can just ground out the red/wht connector wire and your gauge will read fine. This is on my '01.

What happened to my post?

Anyway, Austin, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for that info!! Reps to you.

 

No sweat. Glad to help.

Well, now I'm basically waiting on injectors to get back and am doing a lot of the small stuff that I can. I uploaded a few new pictures of the progress, so here they are.

Aftermarket fuel filter, 2 micron, mounted in basically the same location as the stock fuel bowl. This one should flow much better than the factory bowl. I'll be running this in addition to the pre and post pump filters I already have on the truck.




Coolant temp sensors mounted in the head. Factory Ford one on the left so the dash gauge will work, Autometer one on the right.




Autometer oil temp and oil pressure sensors mounted on the filter head unit. Temp on the left/inside, pressure on the right/outside. I'm not going to plumb in the factory Ford oil pressure sensor since I've got an actual gauge with the Autometer. I'm just going to wire it and fool it (thanks again Austin) so that the factory pressure gauge reads normal.




Pyrometer probe located neatly in the threaded hole that's already in the ATS exhaust manifold.




Motor mounts painted and hanging up to dry. The stock Mopar mounts fit between those "ears" and the flat part sits on the front crossmember. I'll drop it in, position the engine, then drill through the flat, bottom plates of the Destroked mounts and bolt the thing in place.




Unfortunately I missed Jet. I was headed out of town when he was headed in. I would have really liked to see that truck.

 

Looking good Jeremy. Can't wait to see it in September!

 

Man, i understand you not being able to see him, but i'd make some serious sacrifices to get a ride and meet that mysterious *******.

Oh, and don't get any overspray on the GSXR

 

I couldn't change my schedule. I was with 3 other people and we were on a schedule. There was nothing I could do.

The big Gixxer stayed free of any overspray. I sprayed them outside, hanging from a tree. It looked like rain was coming so I moved them in the garage to finish drying.

 

Jeremy, you might want to talk to Ron and borrow his easy bake oven for your painting duties...
