No ticks in Alaska...

Not mine, but spotted in the wild as I was making a parts run.

I have a '94 Road Rescue. I wonder if that's close enough to be helpful?

I put those 175A Anderson connectors on several of my vehicles, and on my jumper cables. The connectors on the vehicles have gotten too corroded to function over a few years. They're great while they last, for sure.

I have an air compressor, and a 5 gallon aluminium tank, and I want to add air. It looks as if there's room to mount the tank on the side of the frame amidships. That will mean drilling 4 holes through the side of the frame, two pairs about 18" apart, each pair spaced about 4" apart...

I got projector headlights from Vantage Optical. The old ones were hazy and lousy. These are neither. I did find a Dorman replacement latch that looks like a perfect fit. Dorman 760-5202 Edited to add: Installing the Vantage LED lights was just the same as replacing bulbs. You have to remove...

I've had my eyelashes frost together a few times. Best to just stay home when it's -40 or colder.

On that grocery run I realized that the compartment door locks where all silted up and didn't work. Oh, well, not much need for them where I live. It would be nice to have them in the big city. I started trying to get them working today, and realized there isn't much insulation in those doors...

Made a grocery run to Fairbanks last week. 100 miles up there, drove around town for a few hours hitting all the stores, then home. The "losing the speed signal" problem didn't happen on the trip, though it has happened a couple of times here in Delta. I got about 16mpg on the trip home. The...

Getting some advice on FTE. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1760006-questions-about-vehicle-speed-signal-in-94-e350.html#post21302358

I haven't been to FTE in a long time. I should try asking there.

This one is under 100k, but of course a lot of idle hours. There is some kind of wiring problem, and occasionally the aftermarket controller loses the speed signal, downshifts to first. Other than that, the transmission seems solid.

'94 was the crossover year, they made both. Mine's an IDI. It has enough power and it's pretty simple except for that stupid e4od.

Sounds as if I may have to increase the budget? Any pointers to stuff that's not garbage, and ideally not Chinese?

Sounds as if Dometic is a solid brand, better than the run of the Chinese mill? I'm not real fond of glass top stoves, so the cheaper version might be just right for me.
