FuzzFace2 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Got it! And yes, the headlight harness came with the relays, you can see them in the one picture at the front corner of the passenger fender. I got the custom headlights from LMC as well. I did see the relays but wanted to make sure. IIRC mine are mounted in about the same place. I am using old school halogen bulbs and got to say with the relays I like them over the head lights on my 02 Durango. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986F150Six Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Now, for being BB's little cousin, I'm loving it. But, is there no chance for dual snorkels? Some place, probably back on FTE, I reported on the different snorkels available. I found that there are several different ones, and they have differing departure angles, but up/down as well as left/right. In addition, it is fairly easy to drill the spot welds, change the angle, and then either braze or spot-weld it back. So I think you could have a 2nd snorkel. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1469753-air-cleaners-2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately instead of following the link to Gary's 'air cleaner build' I got distracted by the 'open v stock air cleaner' discussion... But I have a pretty firm plan already. I found a driver's side intake housing and accordion hose at a salvage yard this past weekend. I've ordered new ducts for both sides. Initially I won't have a snorkel on the driver's side. I'll elaborate more with pictures this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes you to my thread where I discuss the different snorkels and the angles they take as they leave the air cleaner. You may find that very important as you may have to use one or the other to miss accessories. Or, as said before, you can drill out the spot welds and change the angle. I brazed mine back together and that worked well. But you could also tack weld it if you have the equipment and skill. Is this something I should document on a page? The info seems to be fragmented as I think I wrote some about it on this forum as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the documentation here is sufficient, but some of the pictures in that thread might be useful as an addition. And yes, I would need something unique, as whatever snorkel I use(if I do) will sit over the valve cover with not a lot of clearance if any.

And yes, I would need something unique, as whatever snorkel I use(if I do) will sit over the valve cover with not a lot of clearance if any. More progress. I called up ACC last week and inquired about getting a yard of carpet. Had it the next day... Oh, and the reason I still have that broomstick on there is not due to a mistake by ACC. The carpet is molded for a truck that already has a carpet, I assume anyway, and which has this bracket/cover. Mine doesn't. I saw this one at a salvage yard, I might go and grab it. After testing the harness and finding a few issues, like the headlights, horn, NSS and blower, I was able to sort out all apart from the blower without too much fuss. Oh and the windshield washer pump. I have a spare and was able to test it, but I've ordered a replacement with a new blower motor as the spare is just as old. I also filled the coolant and engine oil. Both have leaks. The coolant appears to be from the thermostat housing(so easy enough), the oil I fear is the oil pan gasket... So over the last two days I took apart the dash to tape the interior harness. And then put it all together again for hopefully the last time in a while. Oh, and for your interest in the Highliner Gary, I had to change the well nuts as the ones that came with the kit(on the left), proved useless. And I haven't heard back from Ron/Reamer, so the speaker cover is still on the dash for now... Yes, those are some 'bling' pedal covers... And I finished up the front. Only the bumper and hood to go. And the bed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
