The tires on the diesel are beat:  Looks like we're staying with the 16.5s for another round, which means theyre overdue for a cleaning & polish. Lets gooo!  cleaning...  ...polishing...  ...and clean!  ...and looking good!
Thats all fine and dandy, but the tires are beat. So its time for new rubber!
 ...and installed!
Predictably, the one vehicle youre not working on gets jealous and decides to break. In this case it was the turn signal switch in the column of the '90 Bronco. The book says the column has to come and be disassembled to do this job, but i had another idea. First up, lower it to make some room  Turns out if you de-pin the connector on the end and remove it, you can pull the switch right out of the column
After de-pinning & removing the connector on the new switch, i was able to fish the new one down thru the column, and get it installed  ...putting the connector back together...  ...and done! Column repaired.  Used the new aluminum bed a few times now to haul stuff, and im already tired of the spare tire being loose back there. Not that it moves around, just that its big and always in the way. So i took the time to remount the original tire carrier that was in the bed  Simple and effective.
So i studied my wiring diagrams for a bit  ...and then came up with a plan to improve my old wiring, while also simplifying it. Step one involved moving the wiring for the pump away from the water tank since the pump is now on the frame rail  From there i was able to break down my old sloppy wiring harness, and make a nice clean one to take its place. My old wiring harness:  ...and the new one:  So with that done i replaced the float in the tank since one of the wires was frayed  put the nozzle back in the intake...  ...and powered the system back up!  water-methanol injection V.20 is now complete! Now to just drive the truck and get it tuned! |
