Good stuff Pat. Your truck is super clean. I need to look at the cooler on mine and do a delete. Where'd you get the replacement adapter to put in place and what lower hose do you run after the delete's done? Curious what donor rig you pulled the 3G alternator from... Taurus? Those headers...

In cab only at this point... though a GOOD wireless controller (one that works every time you press the button and doesn't have a delay to it) would be pretty sweet for re-spooling the cable and such. [EDIT]: For clarification as to the original question... I would do both. In-cab controls are...

Can they be operated in cold weather without using pliers? :redneck:

There's two OEM 6.0 ones on there right now if you search under "6.0 transmission cooler", one for 190.00 "buy-it-now" and one for 150.00 with 0 bids. Shipping might be a little steep, but it's still gonna be cheaper than buying a new one.

I've seen it shoot up to 205 towing slow up a steep dirt road, otherwise it usually sticks around 180 or so unloaded in hot weather. This is on the Edge CTS which pulls from the factory trans temp sensor on my 02, with the factory 02 cooler. I've been told that the OEM Ford (not aftermarket)...

I like this idea. I could wire it up so it's always charging, and the relay opens and breaks the circuit whenever the winch is powered in or out. Just have to get a relay and a couple of diodes for the in/out triggers on the winch solenoids. :awesomework:

Oh you're right, didn't even think of that. My truck is a super duty. I think I'd probably still put some kind of fuse on the charge wire right at the battery on the trailer though, in case I let a friend borrow the trailer and their circuit isn't protected or set up to be key-on only. My...

Makes sense. I suppose i could just wire up a switch inside the toolbox. Leave it on normally, cut it off before using the winch to avoid popping the fuse. I will wire it up and see how it works. I predict it may pop the fuse anyway trying to recover a deeply discharged battery with that small...

A solar panel mounted anywhere on my trailer would just end up getting broken or stolen, lol. If I had a camper or enclosed trailer, I'd be all over that idea, mounted right on the roof, but for just running a winch occasionally the investment doesn't seem worth it.

So I bought a trailer, and I'd like to put a small winch on said trailer for yarding broken rigs and such onto said trailer. My first idea was to simply throw a battery box inside the toolbox on the front tongue, and remember to charge the battery before needing it. However, that seems like a...

There's a dirty joke somewhere here, but I'm just not quite on my game today. :beer:

Hmmm... something smells like tire smoke? :awesomework::awesomework::awesomework::redneck:

Just don't forget what I told you about dog jizz and leather! :haha::redneck:

And I'm now putting his old 7.3 to good use. :awesomework:

I need to start buying these in bulk for my 7.3. Wix filter was 40 after tax at the parts place here. They have a "house brand" that was 17 bucks, but not in stock. :rolleyes:

Good reminder, it's time for a filter change on my old beast. :awesomework:

Yep, really important not to mix them. I flushed mine three different times with water, then once with distilled before I put the new coolant in. In other news, new 195 degree stat is in and truck is back to running with the temp gauge right between O and R in "NORMAL" on the gauge. Also...

Nevermind, here's a pic of the super duty ambulance hose for dual alternators.... on an OBS truck, the vacuum pump is right in the way.

http://shop.cptrucks.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=TF-7.3 Yeah, I found a similar setup, see link above. Seems like a reasonable fix. I'll see if the new neck I got leaks or not. If it does, i'll look into something like that... or look at the ambulance hose and billet 99+ neck route...

You happen to have a link to the aftermarket water neck you have? The only ones I can find are the billet ones for 99+ which are shorter and won't work on my truck without changes to the upper hose and/or belt routing. It looks like maybe I could run an upper hose for a super duty with dual...
