    tranny issues

    the tugger kit is a valve body rebuild/shift kit all in one. It will take you a couple hours to install just pay attention to the details... it will come with pieces for inside the transmission & the front pump but you do not have to put them in. As for transmission shops you're about 1/2...

    Taking longer to start?!

    check the glow plugs & the relay, depending on what relay you bought it may be fried already which is why you will find many of us recommending the stancor DC Contactor as a GPR replacement. Is it only slow to start in the morning or is it every time you try and start the truck? Weak...

    Ts perf torque convertor cont.

    IMO no it is not worth it a good chip will take care of the lockup issues and the lock/unlock was fixed with the SD trucks... next time you're going down the highway take your foot off the fuel completely, do not touch the brakes, watch your tach does it drop to idle or stay in relation to...

    Question Post D60 Swap Problems

    they should have given you a printout with what the current readings are and/or told you what angle is out, as Dave said it is likely Caster but you should not have to have shims with a 4" lift the shims are usually needed to correct driveshaft angles, and if you got the 350's front driveshaft...

    Question another gpr question

    one of the GPR looking gizmos is actually the GPR (go figure) the other one is the relay for the IAH (Intake Air Heater). We'll have to let one of the SD guys answer which one was which originally and see if there is a means by which the wiring can identify them. It is likely that the hot...

    tranny issues

    your post is a bit difficult to understand so lets make sure I have it right.... when he puts the shift lever in "D" there is a delay before the transmission actually is ready to go in gear, reving it up helps then it kicks into gear. If he puts the shift lever into "1" then it is ready to...

    Question Biodiesel friendly Fuel Filter?

    I would hazard a guess that you are seeing the results of the "solvent effect" of biodiesel and it cleaning the rest of your fuel system prior to the filter. Change it out and keep running, keep an eye on the one in there now and see if it continues, I doubt it will. How cool has it been up...

    a new noise ??

    Dual mass flywheel is the likely culprit or that your trans is low on fluid and the input bearing is not getting enough oil. See this thread for another DMFW problem

    Question Cruise Control

    on the OBS trucks when the 3rd brake light is blown CC does not work. Doesn't make sense to me but it happens and they may have kept the wiring design from the OBS trucks.

    7.3 overheating

    I'm thinking that your water pump may be shot turning but due to abrasion from the sand in the block casting it has made the pump less efficient? BTW that's a shot in the dark but a real possibility.

    Ford recall 4.5M Vehicles - speed control deactivation switch

    Ford used the BOO before they went to this model, Ahh but the benefit with the diesel is that the circuit is not energized when the truck is off or at least it shouldn't so it will only catch on fire when you're driving. I've been told that the replacement part kit (fused link on the wires)...

    Question 95 7.3 code reader

    I'm using Alex Pepper's OBDII software on my laptop to check & clear codes on my truck. The AE tool you need for your truck will be around $350 visit ITP diesel and you'll need the Total ford bundle

    Another no start warm

    if you some how lost the rattle (for lack of a better term) from the IPR then that would cause the problems. starting after IPR replacement is no where as difficult as after getting air in the HPO rails. I just filled up the reservoir with fresh oil and she cranked quickly. I'm not sure if it...

    Another no start warm

    IPR o-rings are your likely problem and I would replace them before I spent the money on a PCM. If a PCM is your problem then I know DP Tuner offers PCM's and from what I remember reading they are some of the least expensive and I think that he will check the PCM to make sure that it is...

    Question Starting issue

    That's not a completely uncommon problem, there is the possibility that the starter is not moving the starter gear out completely. You can pull the torque converter cover off on the bottom of the bellhousing and visually inspect the ring gear. There are some problems occasionally with broken...

    unsure newbi

    Welcome to the site For the metrically impaired the mileage is right around 217k If the engine has been maintained well then you should get another 150,000km without too much problem and likely another 300,000km. Depends on what you consider nickle & dime items. routine maint on the PSD...

    Back To Standard Time

    :clap: I agree 100% :clap: When I had the option I worked 7-3:30 so I was home by 4:15 and would actually be able to do something outside if the need arose but now I don't have that option :doh: Has anyone else noticed that changing the times hinders the already poor driving ability of...

    pics please

    yep pipe and good clamps, preferably constant torque band clamps as even the better worm gear clamps do not have the force to clamp down on the thick flange of the 6637 filter

    Question hard to start

    Somewhere there is a connection that is not good if all of the pieces & parts are new. I just went tracking down a similar problem on my truck. For me it ended up being that I had thin layer of dark gunk between the + post on the DS battery and it was such that the standard steel battery cable &...
