'97 E4OD into '93
is there any benefit to using the 6 bolt converter over the 4 bolt? i've read you can add the two holes to a 4 hole flex plate and go with the 6 bolt- heff

E40D Question for Transmission Expert
find a rotunda super star tester on there...i got a working one for $5. really. a star tester won't work, has to be a super star or super star ii. you can find the koeo or koer procedures online. and i think actron makes a reader too, can usually get those at parts stores.- heff

Im so tired of.....
this used to be a problem here, but now the fuzz has started issuing "excessive smoke" tickets. some goober here in town has a flat bed idi...black smoke rolls out of his stacks at idle, can't be good for it. i smoke, but only at full throttle under load. even then i feel silly because it...- heff

battery died, worst 4 hour ride ever, now radio wont work
no special fuse needed, should be the bigger blade fuse, i think it's the same size as what's in the fuse block in your truck. biggest thing will be tracking down the little tool to remove the stereo. unless you were smart and put yours somewhere safe and easy to find.- heff

there should be a 5amp fuse on the stereo. it will be on the back, usually beside the connector.- heff

AC pump - used or reman?
shouldn't rockauto have one? the new denso pump i installed was 192, no core, and imo, denso compressors ain't junk. this is on a 93 f250, but they should have a new one for an e series.- heff

brake job....drums/shoes stinkin it up
had a leaky hub seal, so replaced seals on both sides. also new US made raybestos drums, with monroe shoes. reason i went with monroe was they're riveted instead of bonded, and the friction material had a good "bite" to it. new duralast rotors(best thing i could find locally, they have thicker...- heff

scarry wheel hop
tires. flat spots on tires, broken belts. uneven wear on a tire with heavy lugs. i had 2 square steer tires. looked good, felt good when you ran your hand around the tread. but going down the road you could see them start to hop. only did it at a certain speed. anytime there is an issue with...- heff

Truck won't shut down after ip change
pump was from diesel injection service. look like they have 3 locations in tejas. really can't find much about them in the way of reviews. so i guess take this info and photos with a grain of salt. thanks for the replies- heff

Truck won't shut down after ip change
i'm hoping it was also an oversight by an assembler. i got the pump second hand, as an unknown quanity. but since it was so clean and showed no signs of being run or having fuel in it i thought i'd try it. i made sure the fss clicked when power was applied, so i figured it would shut off as...- heff

why would someone try to create a potentially dangerous situation like that? the paint daubs on the top cover screws didn't look tampered with or anything else to indicate it had been into since it was built.- heff

No. There were a few strands of small gauge wire, but not copper wire, wrapped around the fss. In a fashion to hold the fss lever in a constant on position. And it was wrapped right. The think still clicked but the arm couldn't move to off position. Ill post pics when I get to a computer...- heff

Fixed it. Took the top of the pump off. Everything brand damn new including the fss solenoid. Along with the 5 or 6 wraps of very small wire with an end that looked to be twisted by a machine, wrapped around the lever on the fss. Cut that mess off there and starts and shuts down like it should...- heff
