Sure, I smell what you are stepping in.
"The Early 99 has one glow plug relay." Check
"The late 99-03 has one glow plug relay and one air intake heater relay side by side." Check
"Both relays are on the passenger side of the fuel bowl toward the front of the truck". Check
Jet's addition of "Along with early 99 CA models" is incorrect if he meant to say that the early bird Cali model has both a GPR and an AIH, which is how I interpreted it.

 

Chase,

I will correct that because I think you have an early 99 Cali truck w/0 AIH. Right?

 

Correct you is

 

lol, you guys are funny! Sound almost like you're bickering, but I know you're not, I know you're just clarifying.
Anyhow.......
So an update. I pulled the intake off the turbo housing to take a look at the wheel and it is a WW but it does have a little damage. It looks like it's been chewed up a little but but no major chunks missing. It kind of reminds me of a freshly used mower blade, though that sounds kind of bad.
Anyhow I posted pictures in my photo album.

Also I talked to Clay today and I'm going to see what I can come up with for cash. I may have to barrow some more money to get the up pipes replaced and I'm going to see if I can go down to Clay's. He's willing to help a guy out by helping me replace the up pipes and get this thing running like it should.
Apparently I need a couple more items for the early 99 to late 99 conversion.
I don't know all the things that I need but Clay seems to have a real good idea on what's going on, I'm glad he does because I'm still green around the gills when it comes to this monster of a sweet truck
Well maybe not a monster but is sweet.

 

Gee, how did I guess.


Clay will fix you up. He knows early 99s, he has one I do believe.

 

No pics in your gallery?
So you're doing the late 99 turbo swap, or rebuilding your stocker?
Robin- Clay does indeed have an early 99 as well.

 

I thought that's what he said when I was ordering my 6 ISSPRO Powermax Guages.

Did he tell you what happens when you plug in AE and set it for a 1999 when you have a 2001 PMT1?

This thread has sure gotten hijacked.

 

6 guages? I'll keep my eyes peeled for that post!
I would guess it screws all sorts of things up, but I thought he had it all ironed out.
Alas, I am responsible for another hi-jack. I deserve red bean

 

Now don't try to steal all the credit.

His power windows still weren't working last week. I'm glad he warned me. I have 2 PMT1s sitting on the workbench.

I made the corrections on the Differences sheet.

Later Chase.

End Hijack, maybe.

 

LOL. Well this thread started out with some good information on the early 99s vs the later 99s and the guy that made his post got his question answered but I had more and that's when all this started. But it's all good, I don't mind some good laughs and good conversations

Anyhow, after talking to Clay I was a bit overwhelmed with information. I mean there are things that need to be changed out for aftermarket up pipes to fit on a early 99.
My plan is to use the turbo that I have for the time being. He was thinking of changing some stuff out to make it more compatible so that when and if I want to change the turbo then I will be able to do so. He was saying he has some stuff around there to do it and that it would be easier if I came down and he'd give me a hand. One Ford guy to another. Problem is I'm a bit short on cash as I'm trying to start my own computer business up here.
So I'm thinking that I'll get a credit card for the time being and use that to pay for the trip down there so I can get my truck squared away.
I mean I'm pretty much debt free minus the house and one in store credit card and I should be able to get it paid off by the beginning of next year.
So those are my thoughts and basically what happen.

I still have much to learn about these trucks but this may be a fun adventure and a educational one as well.
It has after all been a while since I've traveled down I84, why not take a weekend trip and learn a few things along the way.

I'm still thinking about it really. I'm not sure if I want to spend almost $200 in fuel but at the same time I'd like to do it right and not have to do it again until it's time to upgrade the turbo, if I upgrade at all.

What do you guys think? I'm rambling a bit here but I have a few things to consider and sometimes speaking your mind helps the decision making process.

 

Visseroth, if you want to run the bellowed up pipes you need to do a late model turbo swap- turbo, pedistal, intake spyder, intake plenums, boots, up-pipes, collector all has to be changed out.
I have a small up-pipe leak (at least I think I do, slight exhaust smell in the cab only when the motor is cold) and I have the new donuts for the up-pipes and new O-rings for the turbo to get the job done. If you want to come over sometime, maybe I can talk my wife into letting me work on the truck and we can tear into mine so you can see what it's all about. I'm way too broke right now to do the turbo swap. Besides, I kinda like my quick spooling little feller of an early bird turbo
Robin- 2 spare PCM's waiting in the wings? a bit paranoid are we?

 

I called two different salvage yards. The first guy said his boss would call me back. The second guy said $65.00 shipped so I bought it. The first guy's boss eventually called me back and said $115.00 shipped. I said no way, $50.00 shipped. When he agreed on $65.00 shipped I bought that one as well. Someone besides me may need it someday.

 

You did good! I thought I got a deal at $80 shipped for my PMT2.
Guys that buy spare parts just in case someone else might need it one of these days... its stuff like this that makes me really appreciate this forum.

 

That "someone" may just as easily be me.

 

Very true.
