1. How high will the temp read on a OHC? mine read 124 F yesterday (sitting for a few hours), and im sure today will top that

2. I removed the ford emblem off the tailgate, it left 3 holes
Whats the easiest and best looking way i can fill them in? NO WELDING..

3. How do you remove the dealer stamp?? it looks purty secure???

 

answer to question 2

Easiest would be to bondo them up. Fill them in sand it down and have it painted

Before you start with the bondo u need to remove the paint aound the holes.

 

Bondo will never hold in those holes. The absolute only way to get the holes filled and for them to hold will be welding.

 

Ok welding is out...What are some ideas as to put in place of it??

ALso if holes are left the way they are, can water get into my tailgate and rust it from the inside out??

 

i think the OHC will read up to 140... i don't really want to find out though

 

welding is the only thing that will hold.

 

Dang.thats HOTTTT!! its really hot and humid here, i hate humidity...

 

i added another question to the line up (about removing the dealer stamp)

 

is the dealer stamp a decal or an emblem?

 

Dunno, its like painted on there..Not a decal you cant peel it off

 

3. set your truck in the sun and let the metal warm up, get a blow dryer and put it on the emblem, get a razor blade and be careful as hell, then get the glue off with some oops or goo gone.

 

o... i've never seen one like that, i'm no help sorry.

 

Will try, its damn hot enough outside now around 90+

 

ha! 90+, today was the lowest its been in almost 2 weeks, got up to 98 today and about 5 days ago it was 105, now that freaking hot lol

 

Mine started reading at 140 and then changed to SC and didn't read anymore but once i got going it cooled down.

 

Can you take a picture of the dealer emblem.

I found on line a way to cover holes up using bondo.

turns out it was just a decal, i scraped it off...

Dang dude 105, i really need to get my windows tinted to help the nterior stay cool

 

Thanks for this, im reading it over now...appreciate it

 

That will have to be a weekend project!!!

If i choose to leave the holes, can rain rust the tailgate from inside out?

Hey i got it, ill just paint the emblem flat black, and stick it back on there, thatll be alright! Itll match the truck more too

 

If you leave them open good chance water will get down in there. Even thought the hole is small there still is the chance

 

not true bondo will hold ive done it on the side emblems for my fullsize bronco and ive done it on two different tailgates for buddys ranger and iv filled holes on my half doors for my yota and to this day non of it has come off

 

Me toooo

I'm gonna fry down there lol. But the humidity up here makes it worse.
Its freakin terrible, its been 99 for the past 3 days here. I had to work in that **** tonight.
