I have only had this truck for ~8500 miles, and the previous owner claimed it was well maintained until it was parked, but I pulled out 3 motorcroft plugs and 5 auto lite plugs when changing spark plugs so I don’t really know about when/if timing chains and tensioners were ever done or how recent.
But, pretty big update- I went out on a whim and cut the rear cats out. One was completely separated and the internals were cone shaped. Replaced them both with straight pipes and it runs like ***** ape.
The red light is the battery light, it’s on but I have a 360 amp alternator, an agm battery with 3900 amp hours, and big 3 done in 0guage, so alternator to battery, chassis to battery and engine block to battery all in 0 guage. Voltage stays stays between 12.8 and 15 with a 3400 watt system.
Light is still on and truck runs great.
While y’all are here, I’m looking for a y pipe to go from where the rear cats used to be, to where the flange right before the muffler attaches so I can get it welded in. Anybody know where to find one?
