Thank you, I agree. I'm sure it was a cosy saver, most likely.

I don't think there can be too many...the original body to frame had at least four I belive.

My issue turned out to be a very worn cap and rotor,

God hates you 😂

My suggestion, first look at replacing the distributor cap and rotor. That was the main issue with mine for shutting off. Secondly, check all the ground cables from the body to the frame. Most likely you will need to replace the one that runs from the firewall to the frame and from the frame to the back side of the transmission housing. I had went dow nthe road of changoing out varous sensors, as thoese things seemed likely causes, but in the end, it was the cap and rotor.

I'm sorry, that issue, I can not think of a solution to at the moment.

Dang...that stinks. Did you check the cap or rotor too ?

Thank you.

I had found one video on KZbin of a guy who changed out the OEM ground wires and followed the same path. He ended up using a combination of varous socket extentions and universals to reach it, and he even said about what a pain and time consuming job it was, as it all had ot be done by feel. While I would have prefered the OEM way everything was connected, I also know my luck, so I went for the path of least resistance and ease on this one. I hope this was helpful and it works on your vehicle.

In my case, there were two issues...first was the secondary ground wire, which i did cover in another video, but its the ground that runs from the firewall to the frame and then from the frame, through the wire loom at the starter and then on to the back side of the bellhousing. The other issue, and biggest contributor to the problem was a bad distrubutor cap and rotor of all things. The button in the center of the cap was badly worn and almost powder! We replaced the cap and rotor and that solved the problem! Very stange, but that was it. Since this vehicle was used when we got it, there were a lot of probmes we were chasing down. Thank you for the comment and interest.

@@duginvirginia5737 i will check my grounds. my truck has not left the yard in 3 years. it dies when you put it into any gear or when activate the tommy lift causing a load. every mechanic I know have no answers. the alternator voltages seem fine, I have replaced every sensor under the hood, cap and rotor, fuel pump and filter and still no change. i also had the head gasket replaced for a small leak off cyl5 .$1600 later it still dies. anyone else out there have an overlooked possibility???

That what I'm wondering

Did it work for u

Thank you.

@@duginvirginia5737 your welcome

Thank you. We are eager to get started working on this to get it running.

Thank you.

Thank you. Very intersing trick!

Thank you.

Acabo de comprar una con el 5.7 tbi, voy a revisar todas las tierras, los tornillos de las tapas de cabeza tienen cables de tierra cortados, reemplazare tambien cables de bateria,marcha, accesorios, corriente a fusibles , alternador. Llego con los focos fundidos, sin aire, ojala se arregle parte del problema

That is actually an original tank. I had cleaned and lined it. I did paint it to keep it form rusting. I know the color isn't correct, but I wanted to preseve it until I can properly paint the entire tractor. You can purchase reproduction tanks from The Fordson House, however, they are expensive and not 100% accurate for what you pay, IMO.

Hello, I do not know what grade of oil was in this truck, nor how old it was. We changed the oil with the recomended weight as well as a new filter and the oil pressure maintains around 60 psi now.

Double check the ground wire that goes from the fire wall to frame to back side of the transmission. It's the ground wire contained in the loom of wires that goes to the starter. Another person suggested changing out the EGR valve, I had tested mine and it appeared ot test ok. But, I did replace the ground wire as mentioned.

Thank goodness it's a GMC ! 🙂 Ha !

Thank you. I had pulled the EGR valve and ran a test on it and appeared to test OK / work. Do you suggest a replacement anyways? ...Possiblely weak or slow to react?

Same

From my experience these 350 tbis are in the top 10 worst engines go ever made,you cannot get them to run right,if you do your lucky,no matter what you do you’ll still be throwing money at them,only way to go is vortec 350 or 5.3 or ANYTHING LS

@@lamborgatti-4783 mines been running fine no more dying. I did forget to mention it sat for a few months because I had a bad tire I hadn’t addressed and I think the battery was weak. I’ve had my truck for over two years and it has 213k miles and has never acted up just this one time. I’ve known of other plenty tbi engines that went over 200 and 300k miles with pretty much only maintenance work. I have to disagree. Yes it’s old technology but it works. Very easy to work on and cheap. With tbi its either no spark or no fuel if you have problems.

You're most welcome. That ground strap was too difficult for me to fool with, through, Id like to have replaced it like OEM, I felt this was a good option. Hope it helps on your truck.

I have a 99 as well , what are the symtoms u were having ?

Thank you.

Thank you !

Thank you! This was a lot of work due to moving everything out of the way. I kind of through they would have done that laready, but...once we removed all of the small equipment, the large cab we were moving out of the way was from a Model T truck, and the flat bed leaning up against the right side of the shet was the bed to that Model T truck. Also, in the one still shot, you see me infront of a barrel thats on a frame. It was a cut up and repurposed Model T frame turned into a 55 gallon drum barrel holder! A lot of neat things there, pluss the sinking floor!

Thank you.

Yes indeed!

Thank you, actually, it was stock music off Apple iMovie.
