    Oil Pressure Sensor wiring help

    Hello everyone, Yes, I'm going to be ****-retentive here. I have a 97 Ford Expedition XLT 5.4L 4WD. My factory sensor is a one wire sensor. I purchased a 7 color oil pressure gauge from GlowShift that has a three wire oil pressure sensor included. The sensor has three wires connecting to the...

    Coolant Outlet Tube

    I was going to report your comment but there wasn't an option for "being a hater" just kidding. I'm going to use my o2 sensor socket or a 3/4 copper pipe with the appropriate fittings.

    Dual Electric Fans Kit

    Quick update, Thanks to my brother Ivan Johnson and his friend at Moody (ls something) I should have my custom radiator shroud welded and back to me by Friday-Monday! So, one more day to reinstall the fans, wire them in and button up the last few things and I should be on the road again! Oh, and...

    Coolant Outlet Tube

    I was only expecting my new starter to show up from MMR but, to my surprise, my coolant outlet tube and actuators arrived with the starter two days early! The tube was $16, the shipping was $8. If my total was $25 or more, the shipping was free! So, instead of paying $8 for shipping, I got this...

    Dual Electric Fans Kit

    I haven't wired in the fans or started the engine. I should have it started by the 10th.

    Dual Electric Fans Kit

    Sucks to be the Guinea pig but, I suppose since there is no source, I'll be that guy for those who follow. Bear with me. I won't be working on my truck until some day during the weekend of the 7th when my new parts arrive (the new coolant outlet tube leaked :-/). I won't booger up this thread...

    Dual Electric Fans Kit

    You are right, his posts are great! I still don't see anything specific to what's wired where. I'm not electrical savvy just yet and really can't afford to mess anything up at this point. I'm way over budget and making leaps to overcome obstacles. I'm sure I'll figure it out from...

    Dual Electric Fans Kit

    So, you just left the probe in the hose and installed the hose. I will Google the flex-a-lite diagram. If anyone has done the work is willing to show me how they did it and tell me their pros/cons to it--I'll greatly appreciate it.

    Do you by chance mean this?

    Coolant Outlet Tube

    It's helpful in its own way. There's also a lot of missing information and a dysfunctional layout. I'm going to look up your suggestion now.

    I don't have a flex-a-lite diagram. I do have a probe for the fan kit. Did you have to weld a bung into the transmission return line?

    Coolant Outlet Tube

    I couldn't find any information regarding the pipe inside of the Haynes manual. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be here. I also didn't find much information on the internet. When you say silicone, are you referring to silicone caulking, like for housework? As I said, I do have high temp red...

    Dual Electric Fans Kit

    Here I show everything clamped into place. I think it looks great so far. I haven't added the rubber seal, which, I will be using a roll of garage door seal. It's cheap, lasts, handles weather and is readily available. I have cut out 4 tabs that will allow me to secure the custom radiator shroud...

    Dual Electric Fans Kit

    Here you can see I tried the aluminum rod and torch technique. It didn't work for me. I don't have a welder and this is where I am stuck at this point of building the shroud before I can add the other planned components.

    Custom radiator shroud before and after the bending process with my homehome brake. I think it turned out okay for having inadequate tooling.

    I'm working on it. Tendonitis is painful and I was finishing updating my dual fan thread. I didn't figure I'd get a response this fast. Here you go.

    I would love to see how your fan is wired and where your gauge is connected. How is your Ultra Gauge connected?

    My AutoCool III Electric Fan Conversion

    Excellent information! I am a 1st timer noob for electric fans. I am also a Product Designer with a strong automotive background (for factory repairs) --I am new to modifying/customizing my vehicle and how it will effect my excessively moody Ford system. I have done some extensive research. I...

    97 xlt ABS delete possible?

    I want information on this too. I want to remove my ABS system too. Why? Doesn't matter. I just want it gone and I have my reasons. I don't want to "just pull the fuse" or disconnect the ABS control module. I want to remove all of the ABS components. If I'm not using it, I don't want it. I just...

    Dual Electric Fans Kit

    I have rebuilt my 5.4 engine and now have it installed. I'm considering gaining some space, horsepower and efficiency from my engine by swapping my belt-driven fan for an electric dual fan with controller and sensor. Here is the fan kit I'm considering: Twin Cyclone Ultra Electric Cooling Fans...
