Let's make sure we understand - "turn over" doesn't mean the engine rotating with the starter. It means "run" or "fire". Right? Have you checked to see if the computer is trying to tell you something? And there are steps for testing the EEC-IV systems in the Resources.

Let us know. Hope it works. Can't understand why my iPhone works and yours doesn't.

Good looking truck! Show us more.

Electrical diagrams are best found in the Electrical & Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual. Go to Electrical/EVTM/1986 EVTM in the menu. That gets you to the top level. From there you may want to go to #3 Fuse Panel & Circuit Protection to see what fuses power what. Or #12 Stop, Turn, & Hazard Lamps for those circuits. Hope that helps.

I moved your post about the menu issue to the thread called Do You Like The New Menu? And, that took my response to you about it to that thread as well. I'll put the front bushings on the to-do list. But if I don't get to it in time please ping me.

Progress! No, there aren't any part numbers for the bushings. Yet. Do you need them? Also, did you see that I moved your post and my response on the menu?

Jim - Good catch. But first, I've moved your comment from WHYDTYTT to Do You Like The New Navigation Menu? I did that to keep all the comments together - hope that's ok. Oh, and I changed the Subject so the emails will show correctly. And, on the menu I reduced the character sizing from 15 to 11, which finally got everything for the 1986 EVTM on the page - on most of my devices. This Windows machine shows it all, and my iPhone allows scrolling. But on my iPad in portrait mode I don't get all of the words/selections. However, if you turn it landscape you do see it all. So, how 'bout your 'Droid? On the opacity, let me make sure I understand - do you want the characters less black. In order to test just a bit I have the first menu's style set to "Bold", and the sub-menu's style set to "Normal". Beyond that I don't have many controls with this theme.

From what I saw when looking at 1985 CA trucks with an auto tranny, it looks like they were all AOD's. Rick/Fonzie can tell us for sure, but I don't think they really had a lock-up torque converter. But, if the torque converter is not slipping that could certainly cause a stall.

Tell us more - are you still blowing a fuse? If so, which one?

I should have looked.

And, by the way Chris, I'm using Google's Search Console as well as their Analytics on the web site. There are just a few links to this site on the web - see below. I've followed up on several of them and so far all of them show the true URL, with no ??'s - other than FTE. So, are you seeing the ??'s someplace else but IB territory?

Are you saying that to Jonathan/Ford F834?

Added 12 vacuum routing diagrams for the 1984/85 302's. Found a new source for them - the 1985 Car & Truck Engine/Emission Facts Book Summary. It has a page for each calibration code that gives a lot of info. Looks like this, although the files attached below are much more crisp. MUCH! And here's a . And 4-54R-R12.pdf. Now to figure out where to use these......

Thanks, Dave. Good to see you on. Any progress on your truck?

Ok. Now I understand what you are wanting to do. But, where are you seeing the ??'s? FTE? That seems to be an FTE thing. Go here on FSB and you'll see that hovering over the links for this site have no ??'s. In fact, it looks like they might have included this site in the voting for top 4x4 or offroad site. Or go to Broncozone. Same thing. In fact, if you go to FTE and hover over any of the links they don't show ??'s. So, where are you seeing them?

And to prove that this site isn't static, go look at the 302/5.0L vacuum routing now. As it turns out, I have a copy of the 1985 Car & Truck Engine/Emission Facts Book Summary, and it has some info on the various calibration codes for 1984 and 1985. I scanned the ones for the 302's into pdf's, and they came out crisp - with the exception of 4-54R-R12, which needs to be re-scanned. Anyway, hope this helps.

Interesting! Thanks, Bill. That helps. I'll check to see if there's a way around that.

Unfortunately your signature hasn't shown up yet, so maybe you could just tell us the details about the truck? But, hopefully you found the calibration code today. To give you an idea what can be found if you know the calibration code, let's use code # 4-54R-R12, which is for some of the 1984 & 85 CA trucks. I have a book called 1985 Car & Truck Engine/Emissions Facts Book Summary, which has the information shown below for that calibration code. (Note: I'll be placing the pdf's of this calibration code as well as the 11 others I scanned today on pages on the website. And the pdf's are very sharp/crisp.) And then from the catalog I have the calibration parts list for that calibration code: And then if someone really needs the deep detail on one of the carbs I can post the 4 pages from the catalog that give the scoop. For instance, notice that the parts list shows the carb # as 95.2AP. So, you go down the AP column on this page and following ones from the catalog.

That's a LOT of truck for $1K!

This is the stock eccentric off Dad's truck. (Was cleaning things up and came across them.)

I don't understand why you have the Gary's Garagemahal always showing. Here's what I see from my iPhone 6 and Safari. I wonder if there's a setting?

Jonathan - You are using an Android? I'm on an iPhone and iPad and don't have any problems with the text box, much less the menu. In fact, for me the change may have fixed the text-box scrolling issue. So, can you take a screenshot of the problem? And tell me what device you are using? And the browser? And, if you are having problems I fear Jim will as well. So we will need to fix this one or find another approach. 😳

Interesting. Windows or mobile device?

Chris - Thanks. This came up because the new header that appears covers the original header-based Google search box, so I had to move it to the footer. And that got me to thinking about the two search functions, and things snowballed from there. 🙈 But, I'm not sure I understand the issue. Are you saying the "??" are a problem? If not, what are we trying to fix? Also, it isn't Wordpress, but Weebly. As for my English friend, he is a Nabble guru, not a Weebly guru. But, there is a Weebly support forum to which I could turn if I understood the problem we are trying to solve.

I need to clarify something for y'all. There are actually two different search functions you will encounter, and they produce significantly different results. But first I need to explain some terminology: Forum: This is actually just the first page of the whole website Website: The whole of Garysgaragemahal I have trouble with that concept and suspect you might as well, but the difference is important with the discussion of the search functions, which are good tools to have. So, here's a graphic to explain. This is the top level of the new navigation menu, and everything in there is part of the "website", as shown in red. But, only the first page, as shown in yellow, is the "forum". Now, if I've not succeeded in losing you yet, let me try again. Using those two dafynitions here are the search functions: 1. Forum Search: This search just searches the text in the forum itself, meaning the posts themselves. And it is accessed by the search line towards the top right of the forum pages, like: 2. Website Search: This is at the very bottom of each page on the whole of the website, not just the forum. It is called Google CUSTOM SEARCH and looks like the one below. This one does not search the "forum" but searches the rest of the site. Just type in what you are looking for and either hit Enter or click on the magnifying glass on the right end. Let's assume you type in "hose" and hit Enter. You'll get a page like the one below. Note the highlighted line - everything above that is what Google wants you to go look at off-site. But below the line are the results on the site, meaning Radiator Hoses and Air Cleaner Heat Tube.
