Jason got the sliders mocked up. I posted pics because @Aloha Jen called this thread "lame" because it didn't have enough pics...
Hey, 4 pages with only one pic is unacceptable by any ones standards!
 
Picking up a replacement ECU because of the known CEL Code 83, 84, 85 issue. Will bring that with to LA to swap out before the trip back. Thanks to @Bravo1782

Will wait to do the EGR delete until I get back to Iowa. May do the temporary bypass before I leave.
 
I'm trying to figure out how you can make such a long drive with it with no crankcase to urinate in. That's a lot of miles to hold it! :flipoff2:

Scepter cans! Saving it for the 3FE!!
 
necro post I would have passed because it has an Obama sticker on it...

I hear he is going to put a Bernie Sanders sticker on it...

no comment on the stickers because I already had a post get deleted for having a political sticker.

But for what I paid for a rust free locked 80 I definitely feel like I stole it. So it was definitely very GOPesque. :flipoff2:
 
Picked up a "good" ECU to replace the old ECU. The old one is throwing CEL codes 83,84,85 which is a known issue with that part number ECU. Found one of the "good" ones.

Picked up this Koso water temp gauge and the inline fitting so I can obsess over engine temps on the 1800 mile trip home! I'm officially a 1FZ-FE owner!

Diff lock actuator seals ordered from AJIK are on their way to Joey along with the PHH kit.

Coolant temp gauge and good ECU will come on the plane with me. I should probably shave before trying to board a plane with a little timer looking clock thingy and a metal computer looking thingy...

Well, it's not "fair" that you got such a good deal, so we think you should give it away to a more deserving person. I'll "administrate" this "investment" and keep 90% of the value of the truck. It's for the children, after all.
 
Just curious, could you have just got a scanguage or ultraguage to monitor the engine temps?
 
No it's obd1
 
That's right, completely forgot. Thanks Arc' Jason!

Jason answered. Plus I'm old school. Not sure I would rely on a scan gauge or ultra gauge. That's just me. I'm sure they are perfectly fine. I just like the idea of something dedicated.
 
As per usual the moderators found it necessary to delete my "political" post while not deleting anyone else's "political" posts.

So, I will say, I'm hoarding 80s for if the economy crashes somewhere around January 20, 2017 (or after).

But hey moderator, go ahead and leave anti-Obama posts in the same thread. :flipoff2: You know, "fair and balanced"! Good job!
 
Tonget this back on "tech" I will propose this question: What cup holders should I get? I mean, there are just not enough cup holders in the 80 Series! I need somewhere to hold my latte securely! Please, I need suggestions! Once again, just trying to get this back on "tech"...
