    well that's lame... two claims against my DD and the one time it's with the SS I'm dropped!? Happy Father's Day car insurance shopping..

      Yeah that's crap. Insurance is the biggest rip off going.

    So you replaced all connections? fuse holders, connectors at the fans, and at the relays? sounds like an entire new harness? Still haven't had time to check for voltage drop before the fuses blow. I've got an email out to PCMforLess too.
  5. tayldss
    Pcmforless did the tune and I don't have a copy or way to read it off the truck. I'll have to put a meter on it and check the voltage drop. Maybe I've had the problem all along but am just now noticing it in hot packed traffic. Ground connection looks clean. I'll look into it more when I check fuses again tonight after work.

    Replaced the blown fuses last night and they were blown again when I got to work this morning. I found a few new relays here at work. I'm trying new fuses (again), one new relay, and the other original. Hoping maybe it's a relay problem. My alternator was replaced a few months before efans came into mind so I've got the standard amperage... you think the higher amperage alt made the difference? What settings are there for the patch? I had the fan patch added at my last tune but that was before I had the efans installed...

    I'm hoping it is just fuses. I've had the fans on now for a couple years and just this last month I've noticed it heating up but never enough to look into it. Thanks for the tip

    Ive upgraded to efans a while ago and now I'm sitting on the side of the road waiting for the truck to cool down. Using the harness from pcmforless and fans from an 05 silverado, I've popped both 30amp fuses. Having only a paper clip, I McGyver'd the new "fuses" and both fans worked...until the paperclips smoked and melted the plugs. Back to overheating. Normally been running near 210... Doesn't take more than a couple minutes at a long light and its up near the red. I was going to sleep at home tonight but now am looking into hotels. Any ideas what could be causing the fuses to blow? I wouldn't expect oem fans to draw 30amp so could both relays be bad?? If so, does anyone know where to get replacement relays for the pcmforless efan harnesses?

    I've tossed around the idea of selling my black 20" reps... but just tossed them on the truck for the summer. you looking for rims+tires?

    I would LOVE to see a 7.0 or supercharged 6.2L option... i've dreamed about romping my truck with a 7.0 swap
  11. tayldss
    My truck just had same problem but misfires on 1, 3, 4, and 7. I think I only had about 50k or so on them but turned out to still be plugs and wires. I've also heard rotten egg smell could be bad cats... you say you're 100% stock... my truck ran like crap when my cats rotted loose inside. Goodluck!
  12. tayldss
    lol my SS became my DD the day my sunbird blew the motor

    WI meet would be cool - I'd go.

      was that the problem?!

    I have fiberglass socks from NAPA and replaced the rear four because they'd been melted or worn thru. Picked up a couple extra too so maybe double-socking it ain't a bad idea lol
  16. tayldss
    Yep looked into it more lastnight and found a few spark plug wires arcing to my longtubes. Looked into it it even further and found misfires on 1, 3, 4, AND 7. Luckily we run 8 under the hood eh New plugs and wires on this morning and the truck is back running great. Next is brakes front/rear and hopefully the right wheel bearing holds together a bit longer... the month of May has been a moneypit so far. Thanks to all for the help

    Welcome to the site! Nice to see another WI member

    216,xxx miles now after I bought it Feb'09 with 79k. I've replaced both front wheel bearings twice, misc suspension parts, oil cooler lines, and had the top of motor torn down to get at the broken exhaust manifold bolts when I put on my longtubes. Only other big expense was transfer case at 200k. Now the speakers are getting old and buttons are falling off the Bose radio. The rest was maintenance/fluids/belts. ...might be throwing new wires/plugs at it again soon now it's running like crap

    I drove through the automated carwash. Done it a million times. Buddy of mine mentioned hood seal could be leaking onto the coil pack? He's had that happen and went through 4 coil packs in 6 months before figuring it out..but he's a Ford guy... Not sure when I last put new plugs and wires but I know its been done before. Might have been 60k+ miles ago
  20. tayldss
    No cats with obx longtubes. I'll have to check coil pack connections..they're original and truck just hit 216,000 miles the other day. Is there a big difference in aftermarket coil packs?
  21. tayldss
    Went to the carwash lastnight and once I pulled out the truck started to run rough as if it were missing. On the way home the CEL starts to flash then went solid. Scanned the code and sure enough, p0300 multiple cylinder misfire. Checked filter and didn't seem wet. I haven't had time to dig into it yet. Thankfully my brother is letting me use his car to get to work next couple days. Any ideas what could be wrong? thanks in advance

    door speaker going out and buttons falling off radio... where to start?!

      Aftermarket my friend. Pick up a double din aftermarket headunit and some new speakers. Sonic Electronix is a good place to start.

      thanks for the tip. i've been on crutchfield looking around. my main thing is a clean look and keeping my xm radio.

      Double din head dvd seems to be a great trend, and looks great. I actually purchased an Alpine CD player this year that is double din. It is very clean.

    looking anywhere for a '73 Buick Century or Regal... any ideas?

    I just had a nice night in a Bella View suite at the Palazzo. We were on the 43rd floor looking over the strip and with 7-8 people on the big L-shaped couch playing drinking games there were still 3-4 chairs around another table. I dropped a bunch of points for the room so they wouldn't give me the actual cost but the standard reservation was around $399/night... not sure how much the upgrade to the suite would've added on from there. Just call up and ask around. Excalibur and Luxor are nice too and a little better on price. Palazzo has been fanciest by far.
