Hey dman...what did u use for a fuse block cover? I need to get one for mine before water gets in it or somethin

dman1982 · 06-28-2014, 01:41 PM

the guy that did my harness did it, i dont have a fuse block cover, your talking about the ones for the relays on the harness right? i got them high and away from where water could get to them

ivorton74 · 06-28-2014, 02:38 PM

Yeah thats it...i have mine sitting on the inner fender. I have the notorious kink in my hood so i kno water will get in there especially when i wash the truck

id find a small box to cover them with, something easy to take off, id assume you have fuses in by those relays, so you want it easily accessible

ivorton74 · 06-28-2014, 02:47 PM

Yep the fuses and relays are all together

yup, looks like mine, should be fine tho, I've read that the ecu's are water resistant, and the relays are facing down, but for peace of mind id make a cover if water was getting in there

ivorton74 · 06-28-2014, 02:56 PM

Yea ill have to figure something out

dman1982 · 06-28-2014, 02:57 PM

i think id figure out that spark problem first lol

ivorton74 · 06-28-2014, 03:13 PM

No its running good now...my buddy got all the coils firing...it was a loose ground wire for the coils...now its just the maf sensor thats no good. He even swapped out the maf from his truck to test it and it ran great. I already ordered a new one.

dman1982 · 06-28-2014, 03:15 PM

ah sweet....i got mine when i worked at orileys...saved me a bunch of cash...lol...not working there anymore so now i have to pay full price haha

ivorton74 · 06-28-2014, 03:25 PM

dman1982 · 06-28-2014, 03:30 PM

TheBlueBomber · 06-28-2014, 07:41 PM

Did you have to modify the dirty dingo brackets? Running into some clearance issues.

dman1982 · 06-28-2014, 07:43 PM

I didn't use the dirty dingo mounts, I had a bit of a clearance issue but it wore down ( I noticed after it was too late, it's holding fine tho
