I was trying to stay away from the rail mounts, and prefer to mount the gauge inside the car. And yeah, not really sure why he'd say that...but I don't like looking for things that don't exist. I'm sitting looking for some hotwire kit labled "front mount relay" or something along the lines of that. IDK. Thanks

Was looking at some FP gauges, and was curious if the ones on Fullthrottle came with everything(wires etc), or just the gauge. Also, was checking into getting this hotwire kit, and my mechanic told me to get the one where the relay mounts up front instead of in the back(thought they all mounted upfront). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ok. Before i replaced the battery, the alt had charged it back up to 11.6 volts. The bat was shot by then tho so i guess it doesn't matter.

So the ign switch would be a great place to start? And this might be a crazy question, but how long do you think it would take to ruin an alt running on a bad battery? Asking only because I jumped the the car instead of leaving the battery on the charger, and before i jumped the car, the battery showed 2 volts. I was thinking that maybe the alt couldve went bad due to such a bad battery, and over worked itself and said, screw you Phil, you're making me do too much. I drove around on it a little bit and let it idle for about 8 min after driving......

Ah, got it. I was always under the impression that most exhausts were welded. Guess not tho. Thanks for the info

Thanks Steve. Just thought about starting another thread. I literally been researching all day on the voltage issues. At idle, the voltage is good. After a test drive at night, i check the numbers at idle the SM bounces between 13.6/13.2. Whenever I'm driving, it drops significantly when I give it gas, like half throttle the voltage might drop down to 11.xx. I started to get my alt tested, but the load "test" that they run isn't worth much. The voltage at the back of the alt and bat at idle is around 13.9/14v. Was reading your page and I thought about looking at the ign switch. These cars are so picky.

Selling a TR could never be fun tho. You must have really wanted that truck. I need paint to my TR as well, and I'm sure it's gonna be expensive seeing that it's two tone, and I have some rust. But to sell? Anywho, good look on find the white 87T you looking for.

Oh thats what's up. My brother was looking to change up some stuff on his harley truck to run E-85. So if i get a chip burned for it, i could run it. Thats sweet. Now im just curious as to if i could run reg 93 octane and E-85. Guess you wouldnt wanna mix it tho....

Just in case you guys care, I got everything situated with this. Just wanted to "officially" close this thread. Lol. I hate reading some threads when someone has a problem, and then after all the help they receive, never really confirm whether everything is ok or not. So I'm good with my issue. I ended up purchasing the field fix harness, voltage went back to where it was suppose to. Thanks for the help fellas

Ok, so thats actually two dumb questions combined into one. :-)

This might be a dumb question, but how did they get 101% for the dynomax ultra flow, and what's the difference in the "welded" version versus the regular dynomax?

They are definitely tricky. Got the right bulb in there, and it worked properly. I had to use all of my strength to push the dash in to make contact. The screws wont be good enough for a consistent contact, due to vibration etc, so it's looking like I'm going to be purchasing that part. Thanks for all the input guys.

Thanks steve. I thought about investing in the part that John sells. It's inexpensive and it seems like it would do the trick. Just wanted to try and fix something on my own for once. Looks like that's my next purchase......
