Thanks rich

Does any one know the factory colors for the 41 thru 47 coe trucks that ford made. A friend of mine is trying to paint his 41 cab over engine dump truck plastic model for a high end train platform. Hope someone can help. Rich:confused:

Thanks for all of the help I will try all the ideas. Thanks Rich

When I wash my 30 A water shoes up on the (drivers side front) rumble seat floor. How can I fix

OK--The tube came in and I fixed the flat. I was able to take a ride in the truck and this is how it went.(I did not drill holes in the thermostats.) The temp gauge did not bounce up and down this time but the gauge went up to 3/4 and stayed there the whole ride.It was 75 degrees at the time I...

OK-- I put the new single pole sending unit in and so far all seems to be ok at idel in the driveway. No time to take it for a ride. I had a flat tire and I had to order a new inner tube. I have the truck up on jack stands. Tomorrow I will be babysitting my mom. Later Rich

I got my replacement single pole sensor today and will try to install it tomorrow. I will take new lazor readings and also see what the dash gauge reads. I think my last lazor readings were 164 on one side and 185 on the other when the gauge was bouncing up and down. That was with the t-stats...

G.M. I got 165 on one side and 187 on the other. Rich

OK- The lazor gun tells me the engine is not overheating. I removed the thermostates and it is still the same. I ordered a new single pole temp sensor and when I test that I will let you fokes know. Thanks Rich

The first thing I am going to do is try a lazor pointer that I gust picked up to make sure it is not overheating. I did try bypassing the double pole sensor before by connecting both wires on one terminal and I got no reaing at all. I am going to remove the thermoststs and try it without them...

OK-- I took it for a ride today and it's back to where it was. The temp gauge went up to normal then down to (below cold) all the way to the left, then it went up to 3/4 and then back down. Rich

OK -- the wires were crossed, it seen to have seteled down and working. I will take it for a ride later and see for sure. Thanks all Rich.

JSeey-- I do understand the wiring but is is a good idea for me to make sure that I have it correct. I will check my wiring. It not like I never made a mistake before. Thanks Rich

OK -- I went out and eliminated the double pole sensor and ran the engine till it was hot. Now I have no reading at all. I reconnected the double pole sensor and I am back where I started. Is it possible that the single pole sensor is bad and making the two sensors work together bad? Thanks Rich.

Thanks all so far. Let me explain a little more. When I say the gauge goes up and dowm I mean it goes to hot then down to very cold then back up to hot. It is like I have a bad connection but they all checked out ok. I do not know if I have a high flow stats in or not. I am going to try to...

Just finished my resteration on a 40 pickup with a 47 v8 flathead. I installed a 160 thermostet in each rad hose at the head outlet. My problume seems to be the temp. gauge goes up and down all the time. I did replace both temp. sensors. The engine does not seem to be over heating but I did not...

OK -- I went out and wired it up as a voltmeter and it srarted up and the battery is charging and the gauge indicates its charging. Thanks all Rich

It rained here all day today and the truck is now outside since it got too tall to work on in my gerage. I hope to get to the wiring tomorrow. I set the cab on and had to take the tires off to get it outside. Everything makes sence now that I found out I have a volt meter and not a ammeter. I...

Kevin--That is exactly what I have. Thanks Rich

Thanks for all the help--Based on the information you ford lovers have given me I am going to connect it up as a voltmeter. The diagram given me from REBEL WIRE indicated an ammeter and I wired it up that way. They were very helpful when I called them but never said it could be a voltmeter...
