    3rd brake light burned out

    I have a 94 F-350 dually crew cab with 89Kmi, question is does a burned out 3rd brake light (above the rear window) affect the trans ? I had water in the light, sadly I never drive the truck but the last time I did it was acting like the FIPL was bad or out of adjustment, it would occasionally...

    1994 T E4OD kicking out of overdrive on Interstate ?

    my 94 did the same thing, it was the FIPL (fuel injection position lever) I bought mine from NAPA, it was a Ford part in a NAPA box.

    ever seen a FIPL fail in less than 10,000 miles?

    long story short in 2004 or so my 80-85K mile 1994 F-350 IDI turbo diesel dually crew cab was slipping out of OD, I had the trans serviced and the FIPL changed, the trans shop that did the job didn`t adjust it right and while on a trip with my big trailer I stopped at a Ford dealership after it...

    would you try and open an 18yr old rear bleed screw?

    I had to replace the rear brake line on my `94 IDI dually crew cab (it rusted through right at the first mounting clip behind the fuel tank), while I was able to bleed the line at the rear frame rail/flex hose I know it`s not the correct way so I`m wondering if anyone has had good luck opening...

    thanks Mel part ll

    Back in June I went to the IDA rally where Mel graciously timed my truck, I have owned this truck since June of 95 and it has never been timed and has about 87K miles on it.
