    Block heater plug?

    I looked on an 02 and traced the cable back to there.

    Finally replaced the glow plugs...almost

    Had a no start issue when below freezing and ohm tested the GP's from the VC harness and they came up dead, I thought it might be the harness. Yank everything out and continuity test the harness and it's good. Yank out the GP's on the driver bank an every one is bad. While I was in I...

    Block heater plug?

    I have an early 99 and where the block heater should plug into the oil filter housing is a big plug with a 1/2" ratchet (square) hole. Does this mean I don't have one or the electrical connections are behind that plug? Am I about to make a big oily mess by taking that plug out? Jesse

    Twildman chip and shift hunting?

    It is tc lockup, and I think 35 mph is when he programs it to lockup vs. the stock 45ish mph...but the hunting isn't cool. My tc is a built factorytech as is the accumulator body. The solenoid pack has just been replaced when the trans was rebuilt.

    Twildman chip and shift hunting?

    I bought a used chip from a owner who had it installed in a similar-modded truck to mine. It has a shift-hunting at 34-37 mph at part throttle light/no load, it doesn't do it with the stock tune. Any thoughts Jesse

    Cold start

    But..could it have been the new injector o-rings that were installed at the same time as the injectors...to include the oil o-rings as well as fuel rail o-rings. Jesse

    Exactly what it was, thanks!

    Help Needed Blown #30 fuse?

    So because it showed symptoms and then they went away, you think it's less plausible to be the IDM (I'm assuming mean injector driver module?) Do all trucks have a fuel bowl heater? My truck has all the other cold-weather delete stuff...no EBPV, block heater, AIH, etc.... Jesse

    Help Needed Blown #30 fuse?

    Was driving down the interstate and I lost engine power immediately. Pulled over and realized the #30 30 amp fuse labeled injector driver relay coil fuse had blown. I switch it out with my 15 amp horn fuse and drive home. Replace it with the correct 30 amp and it's good for another couple...

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    Ehh, the tc looked to me like it had been replaced prior to me knowing it...cork pan gasket and a bunch of clips broken but who knows, it may have been original. All I know is that I drove it home today and was happy with it:) Nice to have the girl back in the stable. Jesse

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    I tried that first...tried a bunch of things first, taking out the chip, reset pcm, flush fluid, new accumulator. It was just broke. Jesse

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    Well, had the trans rebuilt. Was told some teeth were missing on the forward drum, two solenoids were stuck and two were weak, intermediate sprag had some issues, the front pump seal was severed and causing some pressure loss, and some plungers in the main valvebody were...

    Ebay shackles?

    I installed mine but didn't have a drop bracket for the tracbar (which might make more sense and be easier to install). Works fine, no probs. Jesse

    Any transmission mechanics out there?

    I don't know that I need anything too crazy. The truck hardly tows any more than 10k and rarely gets hammered on except for the occasional on-ramp.

    Any transmission mechanics out there?

    Well, turns out it is most likely going to be cheaper to do this myself...no big deal, just time and money. Anyone local know the ins and outs of rebuilding these things that would care to supervise/advise to my building? I have a Ford workshop manual that has the down and dirty...

    Any transmission mechanics out there?

    Took it to a trans shop and the scanner tells me what I couldn't figure out...it's not late 1-2, it's skipping 2 and going to 3. So, he told me the sprag for the intermediate drum or the clutches are toast...yay...rebuild...yay. Would order a trans but the bellhousing has been welded...

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    Replaced the vb...it fixed everything but the late shifts. Just took the programmer off and unplugged the batteries. Gonna take her for a ride in about 30 minutes. Only one code, 1-2 shift error code happened a week ago one morning when I let it rev a little too high before I let off for it...

    Any transmission mechanics out there?

    I have a shifting problem after overheating the trans, it holds first gear the worst but will hold all gears under hard accelleration until I let off the gas. I replaced the vb thinking I had a sticking valve that was requiring more line pressure to open...it only changed a veeeery little bit...

    Any transmission mechanics out there?

    How much should I pay to have a front pump installed in a 4r100? Not including labor for R&R of the trans, I have been quoted $350 for that. Thanks, Jesse

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    I will be replacing the valvebody to cure the 1-2 shift problem...now for the second problem. It seems as if it isn't sure under increasing accelleration in 3rd/4th gear whether it wants to unlock the converter. Is the tc lockup function also controlled in the accumulator/valvebody or is there...
