    Rust removal

    vinegar is acetic acid which will give you the corrosive effect and remove the rust from what I can find in a quick search online about malt vinegar it appears that it is fermented so I doubt from a chemical reaction standpoint that it will help with the removal of the rust Heinz makes a malt...

    Sensors

    the only "switch" that senses boost on these trucks is the MAP sensor so I'm also puzzled. Double check the code and see what number is assigned that will help us more than the description that is given by the code reader.

    need help

    I do have a couple more questions for everybody after workin on it today, theres what appeares to be a air temp switch just laying over buy where the original air intake would be, do i need to get that plumed in to the existing aftermarket air intake or is it not all that important? That is the...

    need help

    AS for boost I think you can get closer to the 25 number if your wastegate is adjusted oddly or disconnected. The truck may not have a chip but have a programmer flash on it so there is no real easy way to tell other than reading codes, you should not have smoke when you stomp the fuel from a...

    For those of you with TW chips

    I have Stock, Hi Idle, Tow Heavy, Tow, Econo, Exteme I would skip the tow since I usually run in the econo mode and get good mileage and no problem with EGT or trans temps while towing lighter stuff around. I like the high idle for when I'm trying to cool down the truck in the sauna we call...

    Mystery vibration (still)

    sounds like you have a good possible culprit :clap::clap:or at least something that needs to be fixed. I have a trans jack you're welcome to use if you don't have one It still has my rigging on it to accommodate the goofy shaped pans on these transmissions.

    Tugger kit vs FTVB vs 50.00 Sonnax/tricumulator kit

    What he said The tugger HD2 kit is the full VB rebuild kit along with the semi-hard parts for the internals, front pump upgrades, & calibration plate. This would be my choice Sonnax spring kit is simply one part of the valve body and is one of the weaker points and is a quick fix. The...

    GP Circuit Low Input

    I can say that I was able to run the stancor & the stock decorative cover together well at least until I put the Intercooler pipes in there.

    7.3 light throttle = hesitation

    my not so wild guess that could be a possibility is that if the UVC harnesses were damaged and you only replaced them there is a very realistic possibility of damage to the Valve cover gasket and the electrical contact and pass through or possibly the engine end of the wiring harness.

    Will this work on my truck??

    this would scare me, there are plenty of people running ones designed for gas on diesel motors with no problems the problems comes in the seals and rubber pieces that diesel may make swell resulting in failure or they may not pump efficiently due to the differences in viscosity between gas &...

    injectors

    yep replace them all if you have 3 that are dead then the others are not far behind.

    Truck won't start

    hazarding a guess is that they should be in the 275+ neighborhood, honestly I do not know what they should be on a cold engine, I suspect that you may find that yours are very very low. I've never actually seen numbers measured cold but since that is all you can do it should give you an idea.

    Truck won't start

    check your compression. sadly it sounds as if you are not getting the compression you should which is why you need the additional heat of the glow plugs and the warm block from the block heater.

    Enclosed trailer rental?

    All went smoothly for the move, other than they tried to give me a car hauler missing a lugnut. While I know 4 will hold it on I'm not taking chances in a vehicle that I'm unfamiliar with on a 500 mile trip. The truck was a '08 E350 based rig with the 5.4 which I was rather surprised at how...

    Truck won't start

    I do not believe you'll find the intertia switch on the '95 because we have mechanical fuel pumps, I'll try to remember to look at mine when I get home this evening

    Any good 4R100 builders in the Cleveland area?

    If your truck is stock power wise then just about any trans shop can get it taken care of for you. If you want a bit better try to find shop that will rebuild the trans with the parts you provide then call up Racer X, Suncoast or Factory Tech and order up the pieces and parts, then pay to have...

    Question Leaking oil cooler o-rings

    just keep an eye on the antifreeze and if you start seeing oil then you've likely found a leaking oil-antifreeze o-ring and you'll smell the antifreeze leak before you'll ever see the drops on the concrete. Mine has been leaking antifreeze for a while now one of these days I'll fix it but I'm...

    transmission

    The bad far outweighs the good when it comes to posts on the forums. that being said if your truck is stock then you should be OK, with the ATS stage 2. The shops that I've heard of people having great success with and are pleased with are Brians Truck Shop Suncoast Converters (Ft. Walton...

    transmission codes

    the 732&733 codes are indicating that the transmission is slipping which can be either the torque converter slipping or the transmission internals slipping 781 and 783 are indicators of sticking valves in the valve body or further slippage internally or badly leaking lip seals in the...

    tool kit recomendations

    if they are free/cheap get the air boxes condenser & evaporator, and electronic controls from under the dash as they are all the same then you'll just need the accumulator, compressor and hoses when time comes. You will have to buy a new accumulator since you'll have it open for quite some time...

    trans rebuilers

    one easy way to back flush the coolers is the drill powered fluid pumps, they are designed for garden hoses so you'll need to build your own adapter to hook it up to the hoses on our trucks. Flush it with ATF. and the filter on the return line make sure it has a pressure relief so if the filter...

    trans rebuilers

    nope billet tc is not a weak spot but if the factory converter is the only weak spot they identify in the transmission then you are simply fixing the weakest spot. I'll say that you aren't getting a bullet proof transmission but one that should be good for a while and get you back running for a...

    Leak

    possibly high pressure oil rail end plugs or the HPOP res gasket leaking would be my first two guesses for a leak in that area

    trans rebuilers

    judging by the website dogman posted it appears that they are more into GM trans & their only suggestions for the E4OD & 4R100 were billet torque converters, which is a weak spot but far from the only thing that needs upgrades. Any particular reason you're looking at them?
