99 & up 7.3L Power Stroke Engine and DrivetrainDiscussion of the 99 & up 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine and drivetrain in the 1999-Up Super Duty trucks and Excursions. No gas engine discussion allowed except on transmissions and drivetrain that pertain to all models. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 7.3L Power Stroke engine.
There seemed to be some concern about loose change in the valvle cover with the valvetrain. Some have decided to use the zip tie method ( I didnt like the zip tie fit). Instead I made a plastic wedge. AE'd after clearing all codes and no more codes plus my cruise control works now.
Next up, lock actuators.
As you can see below I have a loose harness.

I meased the size I wanted with a set of dial calilers just about 1.130 inches long. Cut a piece of plastic from the lid of a blue storage bin I had my stock Evolution VIII turbo sitting in.

You do know you can buy essentially the same fix from Ford or International for about $10 (for 3 little pieces of plastic), right?
Yes, but I know of no dealer/ IH parts supplier that is open at 10:30pm when I decide to pull the VC off just to have a "look see." Then theres the satisfaction I get from fabricating my own fix like McGiver
