light blinking on the shifter
with the 7.3 you have the E4OD or a 4R100 which are for most purposes the same transmission. Do you have a chip or other power enhancements? if so what are they? The transmission is not overly complicated even to me as a novice when I built mine. Is the transmission covered by warranty? Given...- BJS

Question 2006 6L Hot Start issue
Not being a 6.0L expert or even having too much knowledge of them..... The most common solution to the 7.3 with hot start problems is leaking IPR o-rings, once you get the oil hot enough it flows well enough that it can't build pressure around the leaking o-rings with the relatively slow engine...- BJS

It"s raining !!!
Yep it's been warm here though we've actually managed to get an adequate amount of rain lately. I can say my father in law in Plant City FL does have blueberries coming in on his bushes right now which is almost 2 months early due to the mild winter we've had- BJS

Transmission coolers
you have plenty of room for a front mount trans cooler with a SD intercooler. I have a tru-cool 4590 sitting in front of my intercooler tucked into the bumper right behind one of the air holes in the bumper and does a pretty good job of keeping my trans cool- BJS

95 F250 hd transmission to transfer case seal-
You should have an E4OD in a '95 unless it was swapped out.... regardless there is a paper gasket between the transfer case & the transmission tail housing often times leaks in this area can be fixed by just tightening the bolts that attach the transfer case a bit more. The output of the...- BJS

air suspension
Id looked at their kits before and they look like they are well built and I haven't been able to find complaints nor praises just like you. In looking at their product I have some questions beginning with ride quality given the very short link from the frame to the axle short links create a...- BJS

Helm Inc is who ford uses to make their factory manuals, most of the OEMs have gone to electronic versions however to outright buy it is cost prohibitive so they sell subscriptions for specified time periods. on the VW boards there are many who've taken the time to print to PDF (cute pdf is free...- BJS

Batteries
I'll be the one to go against sound advice... yes you're best to replace them both at the same time but depending on what your definition of money is tight is then you can replace one right now if you need it to get it going and with cooler weather coming and the reliance on glow plugs. if...- BJS

EcoBoost
The mileage depends heavily upon the driver, just like the PSD if you're in the boost on every acceleration then you're going to pay for the fuel. The guys I know with them all say they tow well for the 1/2 ton they are and can hold their own head to head with gas powered 3/4 ton trucks when...- BJS

Question TW 6 pos install finished
with the heavy tow you should notice a difference in transmission shifting namely holding gears a bit longer. I don't think that there's a way to install the chip and have some programs work and others not unless you cut some wires going to the selector knob or something of the like. Call Tony...- BJS

best brand of tire
I'm running Cooper Discovery AT3 on my truck in roughly that size 315/75/16 and in the 10k ish I've put on them have been very happy with the tread wear and road noise or lac there of, not to mention they were about $30/tire cheaper than the standard BFG AT. My brother has put them on his '99...- BJS
