Your in TN? There should be plenty to see around the TN KY VA area. Research online on state and county fairs. A lot of good pulling there.

StrokerGuy86 · Apr 2, 2014

we have some pulls around here. We have Beans, The Miller indoor pull, Eagleville pull, The big boys in Chapel Hill, and some smaller things. Just alot of pulls which is great just ike to see some Diesel Shows and such like I did with mini truckin and rat rods.

Was there a tailgate offered with out the chrome strip? I don't want to keep it there when I paint it. Might just end up welding the holes shut.

FrankTheTank · Apr 22, 2014

Tailgates from a 97 don't have the chrome strip and any XL model, could also use an older 80s tailgate that had the big FORD stamped in the center

kmanxj · Apr 23, 2014

Huh. I guess the bed and tailgate that was put on mine by the P.O. was from a 96 or orlder. I was blown away when I looked in LMC to see what the strip costs...... almost $400!!!!

FrankTheTank · Apr 23, 2014

You can find nice ones for around 200 but a mint OEM one brings big money

bluedge8 · Apr 26, 2014

Ok, so dumb question. How do you get the pcm out of a '96, it doesn't seem to want to move out into the engine bay

LA_Stroker · Apr 26, 2014

Pull harder. I use a pry bar to push down on the wheel well and about 2/3 the PCMs way out you can rock it up.

bluedge8 · Apr 26, 2014

Thanks, I'm at the point in life I don't push things too far at first, but it doesn't even want to slide out initially, like I missed a bolt. it is not in a plastic sleeve, so there shouldn't be any hold downs inside the cab, right?

FrankTheTank · Apr 26, 2014

Nope. It's actually easiest to pull all the little bolts holding the wheel well in and two or three on the fuse box and just drop the wheel well down and but will come right out

LA_Stroker · Apr 26, 2014

Nothing in the cab. After removing the PCM retainer/weather seal (lower picture, black thing around the PCM, two 10mm bolts top and bottom) it should slide freely. If it has a chip pull it first from inside the truck. If it's stuck, like doesn't move at all, the weather shield has probably passed water into the cab causing the PCM tray to rust the PCM. From inside the cab you can shoot a penetrating lube around most of the PCM and tray. Remove and set aside the parking break and pull the kick panel. PCM is behind the panel.

Afternoon Frank.

That helps a lot, the pcm is rusted, so that is what is going on. It seems loose but won't slide. I'll work on it tomorrow.

mine was the same way. i just kept moving it back and forth and such, and it finally broke loose. i think i may have even pushed on the back of it from inside the cab. it was ungodly how tight it was in there though.
