What I did do was drive my truck for two rainy days on my muddy, sandy, dirty, sloppy road. What I need to do now is spend a freakin week trying to get all that crap washed off the underside of the truck & wife's Jeep. Then MAYBE I'll be able to find the bottom of our engines to get the oil changes done too. Need to find a car wash that'll blast the under carriage.

The touch-free ones are anyway. Hit one today to get 5k miles of road crap and giant FL bugs off the front. Can see the film a mile away, but it looks 10x better than it did. My black truck looked flat gray.

 

Had to go pick up a dead E-350, so no time to bust out the buckets and hose. Seems I haven't had time for those things in over a year now ... :happysad:

The pressure washer is unavailable right this moment. There is a car wash on base where I'll just have to pay a bit to get wet & dirty. Well worth it to shed a few pounds off the vehicles.

The fog relay must not be getting juice, or, might not be supplying juice to the fogs.

 

85 & 86 need power to flow through, to create a magnetic field that connects 87 & 30 together. If you were to manually touch 87 to 30, the fogs should come on.

He has it marked in the pic I might have the fuse in backwards for fogs but fogs still work normal just not on the hi setting

Tinted the front windows to match the rear of my 16 Sierra All Terrain

Does it shake or vibrate? Lol

85 (power) & 86 (ground) need power from the high beams in order to trip the relay, and turn the fogs on. Easiest way would be to get power from the High beams (only when on, so 87 or 30 depending on how it's wired) onto 85 of the fog relay, then make sure 86 has a good ground (or vice versa - you'd have to test them - my memory is foggy).

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
