    Question Tranny

    I have an 02 srw 7.3 with the 4R100 tranny, my problem is when I try to back up with it warmed up, I have to go to park first before I go to reverse or the engine dies. I have been told that the overdrive solenoid is bad. It also will die at traffic lights if it is hot outside, 90 or above...

    Question Radio

    Not sure what the length should be, I made mine from 2 welding rods that just fit the holes and shoved them in until I heard them click, then used 2 small screw drivers as prybars. It feels like it is unhooked but it will not come out. It has me stumped, I don't want to break anything.

    Question Radio

    I want to remove the 6 disc radio from my F350 to try to get the 2 stuck CDs out. It has 4 holes, looks like you should be able to push pins in and pull radio out, don't work that way, any ideas? thanks Roger

    Question Vibration

    No whine or hum, just the shaking vibration, stops as soon as you hit the majic number. I used to do wheel alignments and balancing in my job, does'nt feel like that. How can I find out if it is the converter? Thanks. Roger

    Help Needed Where do I find the chip on my 02, 7.3?

    7.3 It is a 7.3, they said the boost pressure is too high because of the chip which is what flashed the check engine light on. I checked the places where police stroker said to look for the chip and it has none so it must have been programed and not sold the programer with the truck. I have an...

    Help Needed Where do I find the chip on my 02, 7.3?

    I had to take my 02 powerstroke in for an emision test and they told me it has a chip, putting out 240 HP to the wheels, the boost is too high and kicked the check engine on briefly which caused a FAILED test even though the emisions were low enough. Now I need to find where the chip is so I can...

Once I let...
