    Tranny Troubles

    Replaced the TPS today, dont have a multimeter to check voltage right now, will do that tomorrow. I shifted into and out of drive, seems to be working fine! However, it is still running at 300-500 rpms high while driving, but here is the weird part...If I turn on my right turn signal, the...

    Tranny Troubles

    Found it, Thanks. Im picking up a new TPS at AutoZone in the morning, I figure after 250,000 miles, $28 is a good investment. Im really hoping that this also solves the drive engaging problem Im having, which would mean not buying a new transmission

    Awesome...Where would that little ****** be located at, under the dash or under the hood.

    Tranny Troubles

    Now it has some new symptoms...Yesterday, besides not engaging when shifted into drive, it ran about 400 rpms higher than normal at cruising speeds, until going up a hill, then it would drop back to normal RPMS. I stopped by Oreillys and they said that it was giving 3 codes for the throttle...

    e4od vs c6 on 7.3 idi?????

    Not to hijack the thread, but what RPM's does yours run at when your at 60, 70 mph? Im in the process of replacing an E4OD but havent decided if Im going to go with a rebuild, or a "new" one from a local yard with a 90 day warranty

    Tranny Troubles

    Talked to a shop today, they said that it was almost certainly (dont you love that phrase?) the main clutch going out, and to rebuild a E4OD would run anywhere from $2000-$3000. I only paid 2200 for the truck, so it looks like its time for a donor transmission and a for sale sign so that I can...

    Tranny Troubles

    . I also figured out last night that if I will idle the truck at about 12-1500 RPM's, it will engage and take off just fine. Then again, sometimes it will engage as soon as I shift into D and take off.

    Tranny Troubles

    Well, Im having tranny troubles, and Im not talking about the ones you have in Thailand, :rolleyes: A few days ago, I shifted into drive, truck was warm, all I got was a rev when I hit the pedal. Now, throughout today, most of the time when Im shifting into drive, no matter if I slowly move...

    Starter troubles

    So, I put the new starter in, wired it the same as my old one (lg cable from battery to starter positive post, small wire from solenoid up top to small post on starter). Turned the key and all I got was the clanking noise of the starter extending and I could hear the gear whirring...So, back to...

    Starter troubles

    Ok, so Ive got the starter back off, and am going to replace it. I have a donor vehicle that is a 99 powerstroke, and I was wondering if that starter will fit and have the same bolt pattern as a 94 idi. Any ideas? If it doesnt fit, I will be ordering one from DB Electrical, but am unsure...

    Starter troubles

    Thanks guys. Im located in Quitman, TX, up in the North-East. I bought a a new terminal connector today, but does anyone have any advice on how to remove the old connecter, the one that is solid lead with no fasteners, it looks like the cables have been forged into it. I put jumper cables on...

    Starter troubles

    Thanks Vegas, the one time it did start was when we scraped/cleaned the positive connector for the main battery. It was covered in slag from being arced so many times, so I bought a new connector today, figured it wouldnt hurt to replace that also.
