[Mobile-Portable] Injector Noise Cures

[David]

Hi Ford owners...
I have not owned a Ford product for years but I sure respect them for not
accepting/needing a bail-out! They became heroes to me when I saw that a
few years ago. I got a lotta respect & 88's for them!

** Hi Randy,
**    I was given to understand that the new computer  module would have been
** at least $600 at the time. I can't speak for the  present, but back then
** they were really good to me. I don't have a Ford product  now, but if I
** did I
** would still be willing to give them a shot. They're nearby  as well, so
** ...
** Geez that was a nice car. Too bad they stopped making  them.

** Sonny ,  I have already made a major copper foil and tape purchase. And
** they are proud  of that stuff ! Fantastic about your dealer. Well , This
** is a
** 2000 Ford  Excursion Em Comm vehicle I picked up from the Red Cross and
** not
** in warranty.  But I will give my dealer a call. Cant hurt. I read in a
** magazine that those  vehicle computers are very expensive to replace. You
** should
** stay with that  dealer. Service like that is rare today. Thanks , Randy

** Hi Randy,
** Don't bother with copper foil until you try aluminum first. If aluminum
** helps then that will be a clue that you're headed in the right direction
** and at far less expense.
** ARRL can be helpful, and I also found my Ford  dealer to be VERY helpful
** with my HF installation. They even went out of  their way to replace the
** engine computer under warranty to a known (to  them) quieter version.

** Best,

** Group , Has anyone had much  success defeating injector noise with Ford
** 6.0
** and 7.3 ltr diesel engines  ? I have bonded the exhaust system , doors and
** hood of my Excursions plus  added extra engine ground straps and power
** directly from batteries and  injector noise is still present. And have
** added mix
** 31 toroids on every  power lead and coaxial cable . I have purchased
** copper
** foil and copper  tape for shielding injector wiring harnesses outside of
** the
** engine and  have not had the time to do it yet. I thought about snap
** beading the  injector leads but they are enclosed under the valve covers
** with
** other  parts in the way. And they are very tight with no slack at all. So
** if it
** was worth pulling the valve covers and oil rails one could not wrap the
** bead at all. For now , all I know to do next is start shielding external
** wiring harnesses with copper foil and copper tape. Anyone have any other
** ideas ?
