[TenTec] For Sale: Ten Tec Argonaut V

[Duane Calvin]

Ford has stopped doing this as a TSP?  It worked great on my 2002 F-150 (for
the fuel pump  noise, anyway).  Took the overall noise from S9+20 down to
S9.  Grounding the tailpipe took the noise down to S6.  A few things I've
tried after that haven't helped much.  Mostly ignition noise left now.

The Ford fuel pump RFI filter produces mixed results and requires 
dropping the tank because the filter is installed right at the pump. A 
better way (IMHO) is to cut into the pump wiring at the nearest 
connector (about 2 feet from the tank) and installing coaxial type 
feedthrough capacitors. You can find more info at 
http//www.4x4central.com in the ham radio forum.
