Ford F350 upgrade and maintenance log

Been a minute as life got in the way. So got back to doing some wrenching. The added PowerPoint doesn't come with instructions but with it as it deletes the air bag key it had a pass side airbag fault. I took the module off the OEM PowerPoint housing hoping it could fit behind it, sadly it was too bulbous.

So what ended up being the solution was to take the housing apart and remove the board. Once plugged in and key on fault went away so I just wrapped in some electrical tape and so far so good.

Next I installed the fuel pressure gauge. I needed to modify the stock one as I plan to retain the grab handle.

Added a hole for the wires. Even stepped up to the largest step but I got the hole needs to be larger when I add the egt gauge.
Audio shop added this screw for the handle, not sure why. Might need to notch the gauge housing in the future.


After some massaging I got it fit nicely.

Mocked up in the truck. The backside has a brace that makes it difficult to reinstall with the gauge housing on it. It could also perhaps be too low mounted. I plan on getting a second set and try again.

Proposed setup for egt and fuel psi.

Next was to get the plug out of the fuel filter housing. Tight fit with everything in the way.

This is the adapter for the fuel psi sensor.

Adapter in.

Your able to sneak a deep 22mm on the sensor.

Extension's are your friend.

Plugged in and leak free.


Ran a old shirt hanger to pull the wires


Works good.

To finish up the install I needed to modify the fuse box cover in order to clear the expandable circuits.

Finished cover.

Cover clears now. Minus the dimmer install is complete with two other plugs available for the future planned egt gauge and a possible 3rd one like transmission temp.

Lastly I painted the console cover as it had some faded paint in areas. I color matched it with OEM exterior paint.

Looks better than when I started but as it's textured I think the clear makes it look a little off. I might try again with just paint no clear or try and find a smooth one.

 

Odawg intake manifold came in. Looks very nice and will be a great supporting mod.

 

Got this bullet proof diesel oil cooler coolant adapter. It allows the uses of normal hose vs the special hose that Ford implements.

New xdp water pump bolts and heater hose oring for the intake manifold install.


I am contemplating on getting a new OEM style oil cooler, ppe for example, to replace/upgrade while in there.

 

Went to @BassAckwards house to look at his new transmission. At the very least it needs a sprag as it's nice and blue. Some clutches were thin but comes with a rebuild kit.

Thanks for the resource and thanks for coming out! Some very helpful info in there. I watched another video on disassembly tonight, man there are a lot of pieces

 

Dang near a Toyota dealership. Lol
