    4R100 rebuild - just do it

    I'm puttin the word out there - quit buying rebuilt transmissions. I bought an ATSG manual, looked at a couple threads, then rebuilt this SOB. If you can rebuild a small block engine an auto trans is NOT much more difficult. Now I ain't saying it will work on the first try but how many...

    Help Needed Wiring EVTM for swap

    Well, I've decided to swap my diesel out of my aging truck and into my gasser. I can't start till I sell off a tranny, but I also need a complete wiring diagram for my early 99 7.3L manual F250 and the 00 V10 Excursion. Since fordcd's went out of business does anyone have any suggestions ?

    parting out a truck question

    I'm considering parting out my 99 f250 2wd SD diesel cause I'm really not getting much response trying to sell it. It all hinges on how much i could get for the zf 6 speed. I could sell it as a swap kit and include everything needed to pull out an auto. there's nothing wrong with it, no...

    Un-Lifting a 5" Lift Kit

    My new Excursion has a 5" lift kit (front springs and ilnks, rear blocks). Could I start pulling out small leaves of the front springs until I get to the height I want? Kind of like "subtract-a-leaf" instead of add a leaf.

    Question Considering a 6.0

    Hi guys, this is my first time over here on the 6.0 forum. I've been in a 99 7.3l for a long time but its starting to get fairly beat up. I was going to look at an 03 to replace it but he says its got the 6.0. Now all I know about the 6.0 firsthand is from a fleet of ambulances we have at...

    Question Diesel swap

    What trucks would I be able to swap my 99 F250 7.3L and 6spd into? I'm talking bolt in or close to bolt in and drive. My truck is starting to get rough but the motor/driveline are still very good condition. I'm thinking to get a gas motor low rust version of my truck and swap out the drivetrains.

    OK, so my buddy has a 04ish 4x4 duramax 2500 with tons of upgrades- intake, exhaust stacks, programmed, 6000 dollar auto transmission, much more i'm sure. I'm not impressed though. its damn fast, but my seat-o-the-pants-ometer says I'm pulling harder in 3rd gear. I've got basic CAI, 4"...

    Clutch Bleeding

    Hi guys, I have a problem with a dead spot at the top of my clutch pedal. For the first 1-2" it feels like the only resistance is the spring on the clutch pedal. Then, especially when its cold out, it feels like it grinds a little bit going into gears. It's done this since i replaced the...

    6spd leaking

    I plugged a HPOP leak and now my manual trans is leaking. I'm having trouble locating it though because I think my turbo is leaking too. It looks to me like my trans leak is coming from the shifter area, but I've never seen a trans leak there (I never noticed a manual trans with a pump either...

    Help Needed Carrier bearing

    On an early 99 F250 2wd 6spd supercrew longbed, will the carrier bearing be pressed onto the driveshaft? Just wondering if i could do this in my driveway since mine is shot. The bearing is still good but the bushing has shrunk and there is a ton of rotational play that gives me a...

    Intermittent no start

    Sometimes when I try to start the truck it just cranks without firing. I can crank for a while and its not even trying to fire. But if I turn the ignition off and try again it will start within 2 seconds. Anyone ever experience this?
