How about this one.

High Pressure Coss over, (HPX Mod) Easy install for the contorsionist (sp) Benefits; Equlizes high pressure oil in heads. And for the naysayers I will quote a PSD Engineer from FOKISD rally two years ago. " it makes sence and can only help equilize the oil pressure in both heads" Cost, I think about 35 bucks.

See ya Beantown

How about FAQ on SEARCH . An alternate to the TDS search function is TDS Google Search..

Just replace, in this case, the AIH on the Google page for the subject you wish to search for.

The AIH Mod as well as a number of the other mods is covered in thread links HERE LarryM Little Secrets Sticky at the top of the van forum if you lose the link.

Another popular Mod for the list. Sonnax Tricumulator Mod- Replaces the Line modulator valve and springs for the shift pistons in the valve body of the transmission for crisper firmer shifts. Best instructions I have seen on how to do it are at www.blackclouddiesel.com They also sell the kit. Difficulty medium to hard,depends on mechanical aptitude. Requires socket set and Inch-pound torque wrench to properly torque valve body upon reinstallation.

Hood Insulation Removal

What you gotta do for this one?

Ford_Forgotton · 10-05-2006, 02:10 AM

removal?! I put one *ON*. Saves the paint from underhood heat.

But, if you want to remove it, its pretty easy. Use a skin wedge, or a door panel removal tool and jam it under all the plastic push tabs that hold it to the hood. Pry them out and off it comes. You may need to play with the hood light a little bit to feed it out of the hood blanket, but its all pretty easy. 10 min job?

SmashedIxnay · 10-05-2006, 02:14 AM

Not bad, but if it's gonna hurt my paint, then I'm gonna leave it on! I don't have money to spend for a new paint job! lol

has anyone done the manual wiring to modify the automatic glow plug relay switch so that it does not work when not needed

Spotty · 02-10-2007, 01:29 PM

So you guys took care of the key-in ignition buzzer but how about the ever so annoying seat belt dinger! Anything else you can do besides wear the seatbelt,or stick other the belt in, or push the button every time you start it?

ryaneverk2 · 02-10-2007, 05:56 PM

There is a procedure in the manual called BeltMinder Disable that you can follow. Or, you can reach under the seat and unplug the wire that goes to the seatbelt.

It doesn't the way it is.. If up to temp, it doesn't excite the relay.

I have a short question. Is it ok for me to re-rout the PCV on my 03 as with the earlier models? I noticed that the mod for rerouting the CCV on here only deals with earlier models... I did disassemble my intake to find that its oily behind the PVC "Scoop", So I was wondering what would happen if I took the lil elbow off the intake and routed the PCV to Atmosphere...

Welcome to TDS. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If yours is a 7.3 then it's the same as the others in regards to the CCV.

If it's a 6.0, it's slightly different I think, but the same idea.
