E4OD blues
I had similar issues, especially the recurring VSS code, turned out to be the PSOM as well, I was able to find a shop that rebuilds instrument clusters and they got it right for not much money. I believe they found the leaking capacitor issue on mine when they got into it.- DavidS

DTI Tech Time on the way!
Great stuff guys, thanks so much! Tracking says it will arrive tomorrow. Might be able to jump on it Sunday. I think I'll give it a try with the damper probe first and then get the light if I'm not successful. I'm assuming it's the one on this page: https://tinytach.com/timing-equipment , 5th...- DavidS

DTI Tech Time on the way!
Should be here next week. This is the eBay one that I think a few other members have as well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/291925919893 Finally taking the advice of several on here who have suggested I get my own since I can't find any shops near me that have one. Anybody have any tips or trick to...- DavidS

yet another E4od issue...trans shop stumped!
I'll have to ask my trans shop about measuring the rail pressure, thanks for the suggestion! I feel your pain with the challenges on the electronic side of things with these transmissions. Definitely had me searching manual trans swap on this forum a few times!- DavidS

yet another E4od issue...trans shop stumped!
Yes I can feel TC lockup. I think it occurs between 2 and 3. Unfortunately sometimes the TC lockup will go in and out at some around-town speeds so usually i drive with it off until I hit the highway. When it's just warmed up, driving normally, it shifts around 2-2.5k. When things are hot i...- DavidS

1994 f250 turbo project
So I called a diesel injection specialty shop near me to ask about checking the timing on this truck. He wasn't much interested in the timing issue. After describing my situation he recommended a rebuild on the pump, which they do in-house. He said i was just compensating for the decreased "hot"...- DavidS

yet another E4od issue...trans shop stumped!
I do not know the answer to either unfortunately. Back when the rebuilt engine was going back in, I had to make a call on the doing anything to the trans. The TC looked "newer" and the fluid looked good so I just put it back in since I was running low on funds. The FIPL was adjusted until it...- DavidS

Water pump going bad?
Changing the water pump isn't too bad. I did mine in an apartment parking lot on a previous IDI.- DavidS

yet another E4od issue...trans shop stumped!
That's good to hear...certainly I want to do it right when the time comes so I will be saving up for sure. The only worry in my mind is the guys at my trans shop tell me don't wait until it completely fails, the rebuild will just cost more...Have to time it right I suppose.- DavidS

1994 f250 turbo project
As a follow up to this thread and just for the sake of sharing, this engine always had a "pulse", especially when hot. The shop that had installed the IP after the rebuilt engine went back in assured me that they got the marks lined up between the IP gear and the cam gear. After chasing my tail...- DavidS

yet another E4od issue...trans shop stumped!
Guys, I've been a ghost for a while, between a mostly DIY addition to our home, an infant somehow becoming a 2yo in the blink of an eye, and that corona thing, time just got away from me. Trying to jump back in a follow up on some threads that i had been part of. While my trans is by far still...- DavidS
