    Project - "Old Man"

    Here are the pics... Project will be very slow for the next 4 months or so. Did discover that either GP or GPC is not working. No clicky or WTS light at all. about 1 hour plugged in and she fired. Not sure who buggered up the trans temp gauge. A welded (or bolted in) bung would have been better...

    E4OD and code 26

    I popped a code 26 (TFT or TOT - Transmission Fluid Temp or Trans Oil Temp) sensor out of range. Can any one tell me in English what this means? Was this caused by overheating the fluid when I came back from SC? Should I just reset the code and flush and fill the fluid? If I understand...

    Picked up a new power mod

    Went camping this weekend and ran up the road to the dyno run. While there, Agnem and me got a new power mod for our trucks. Mel is running his on the 6.9 NA / C6 Bronco and I have mine on a turbo 7.3 w/ E4OD. We think the version of IDI will not matter because the guy used the same code for...

    I think I discovered another leak. I noticed the back of the motor had a ton of oil on it and my "leak" consumption had gone through the roof. After work yesterday, I climbed on top the motor and looking straight down, I could see past the return pedestal into the valley. about an 1/8" gap next...

    It lives and leaks!!!

    Took a half day today and got the truck finished. I started it w/o coolant for a minute (per Agnem's advice) and got (I think) all of the fuel leaks fixed (bad o-ring on a return, loose lines). Shut it down and added the coolant and as soon as I got the bock full it leaked.:eek: I think it is...
