Has anyone used the search button ?

Thanks for making me laugh this morning....


The duckfoot is simply a junction point for a few different feeds that lead into the engine bay. It's really not complicated in there, although it's best to strip it down as I did in the pictures, and make notations of what goes where. I posted a revised "wiring diagram" towards the end of the thread that should help you if you have the same year as mine (92 or 93), otherwise the FSM for your year will be most helpful....


Uh yeah. I have a few pix here https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...-stink-317257/

Didn't you start doing this back in 2014 ? https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...me-ugh-319875/

What happened then ?

I tried the search button. Just about every time I use it I end up reading threads that have nothing to do with I was searching for.

I can relate to health problems.
When I get caught upon mine I am going to cut the "Duck foot" off at the ankle and replace it with maxi fuses. and do the Jim Lane relay upgrade.
