    light blinking on the shifter

    with the 7.3 you have the E4OD or a 4R100 which are for most purposes the same transmission. Do you have a chip or other power enhancements? if so what are they? The transmission is not overly complicated even to me as a novice when I built mine. Is the transmission covered by warranty? Given...

    Question 2006 6L Hot Start issue

    Not being a 6.0L expert or even having too much knowledge of them..... The most common solution to the 7.3 with hot start problems is leaking IPR o-rings, once you get the oil hot enough it flows well enough that it can't build pressure around the leaking o-rings with the relatively slow engine...

    I'd hate going in there trying to find the diesel pump, when they are busy with a trailer behind me.

    It"s raining !!!

    Yep it's been warm here though we've actually managed to get an adequate amount of rain lately. I can say my father in law in Plant City FL does have blueberries coming in on his bushes right now which is almost 2 months early due to the mild winter we've had

    Transmission coolers

    you have plenty of room for a front mount trans cooler with a SD intercooler. I have a tru-cool 4590 sitting in front of my intercooler tucked into the bumper right behind one of the air holes in the bumper and does a pretty good job of keeping my trans cool

    95 F250 hd transmission to transfer case seal-

    You should have an E4OD in a '95 unless it was swapped out.... regardless there is a paper gasket between the transfer case & the transmission tail housing often times leaks in this area can be fixed by just tightening the bolts that attach the transfer case a bit more. The output of the...

    air suspension

    Id looked at their kits before and they look like they are well built and I haven't been able to find complaints nor praises just like you. In looking at their product I have some questions beginning with ride quality given the very short link from the frame to the axle short links create a...

    Service engine light

    Helm Inc is who ford uses to make their factory manuals, most of the OEMs have gone to electronic versions however to outright buy it is cost prohibitive so they sell subscriptions for specified time periods. on the VW boards there are many who've taken the time to print to PDF (cute pdf is free...

    Batteries

    I'll be the one to go against sound advice... yes you're best to replace them both at the same time but depending on what your definition of money is tight is then you can replace one right now if you need it to get it going and with cooler weather coming and the reliance on glow plugs. if...

    EcoBoost

    The mileage depends heavily upon the driver, just like the PSD if you're in the boost on every acceleration then you're going to pay for the fuel. The guys I know with them all say they tow well for the 1/2 ton they are and can hold their own head to head with gas powered 3/4 ton trucks when...

    Question TW 6 pos install finished

    with the heavy tow you should notice a difference in transmission shifting namely holding gears a bit longer. I don't think that there's a way to install the chip and have some programs work and others not unless you cut some wires going to the selector knob or something of the like. Call Tony...

    best brand of tire

    I'm running Cooper Discovery AT3 on my truck in roughly that size 315/75/16 and in the 10k ish I've put on them have been very happy with the tread wear and road noise or lac there of, not to mention they were about $30/tire cheaper than the standard BFG AT. My brother has put them on his '99...

    Parts sources?

    I've been using www.fleetfilter.com for my filter needs lately, They ship napa gold filters which are rebadged WIX filters and they beat the price of my local options by a long shot.

    Ecm-TDE0-TDE1-TEE5

    I don't think it matters or at least that's what I've always been led to believe. the programming of the OE computer made a difference with some of the early single page chips and they were written to work with a specific base program and modify specific parameters with the "newer" multi-page...

    Manual 4WD shifter on electric shift transfer case

    The electric cases I've had apart in the past the electric motor turns 270° a movement range that is not reasonable to do with an mechanical shift lever.

    Question Modify 6.0 cat converter

    sounds like you're only going to have it on for inspection. If so then gutting the entire thing would be the easy answer. I've run my 7.3 with an empty cat converter camber for 20k or so before I put a 4" pipe through mine. If you're going to take the time to install a pipe then I'd install the...

    Please shoot me!!!

    You are permitted to do the work yourself, the DOH will be a pain when it comes to getting the permit but it's not rocket science and is rather well laid out in the code. Since you qualify as doing a major repair you'll have to bring it up to current code. Which depending upon where in...

    Question Oil pan replacement

    the manifolds themselves do not tend to have problems, the up pipes from the manifold to the turbo collector manifold are the location of frequent leaks. I would suggest either rebuilding or replacing the oil cooler. Now wouldn't be a bad time to consider the rear main seal on the engine or the...

    Help Needed brake pedal play

    is there a bleeder valve on your ABS Unit? I know the brakes on the OBS trucks can be a pain to bleed if you don't know about the bleeder valve on the RABS actuator valve.

    Am I Doing it Wrong?

    You went were I was heading in that the transmission is sucking a bit more of your power than you'd like. however ensure that the up-pipe leaks are fixed to make sure the transmission is getting the power. Are you getting any haze out of the tailpipe?

    Am I Doing it Wrong?

    how are your trans temps doing? where are they when running empty & with the trailer? the rubber used in the seals in transmissions get old and start to get brittle especially if the trans has gotten a bit too hot.
