    700R4 equivalent for us?

    Looks like the E40D will work provided I can get the aftermarket controller to make it work and it looks like I can get both for less money then the cost of a Gear Vendors. Thank you.

    700R4 equivalent for us?

    I didn't know an aftermarket controller was available. Where can I learn more about them? I did a Google search and found Baumann Electric Controls but haven't found anything working with diesel engines just carburated gas engines with an aftermarket Throttle Position Sensor. From what I...

    700R4 equivalent for us?

    I am constantly hauling stuff in my E350 which is why I got it in the first place. The reason I gave the transmission credit for the economy was keeping the engine rpms down. Thinking if I kept my rpms down I would get better mileage. As for towing, I do have a 28foot travel trailer that...

    700R4 equivalent for us?

    I just saw an 84 Chevy Van for sale with a 6.2 that gets 25mpg on the highway consistently. After checking it out more I learned it has the 700R4 transmission behind the 6.2 with a lock up torque converter. I was amazed how quiet it was. Needless to say I've been second guessing my 84 6.9...

    6.9 ATS Turbo truck kit in a van?

    I just learned that the turbo I was considering sold yesterday so I don't need to worry about fitting a turbo in there. Thanks for your response. Darryl

    6.9 ATS Turbo truck kit in a van?

    A friend of mine suggested I put new head gaskets for a turbo engine and get head studs.

    6.9 ATS Turbo truck kit in a van?

    I have an opportunity to pick up an ATS Turbo kit out of a truck. Will it fit my van? Is there anything I should look for when I check out the kit? Any concerns about putting it on my NA engine? Just am not interested in a good deal costing me more later.

    2-speed rear end?

    Didn't think about the tires nor the brake work. Looks like I need to start saving for a GV because after the new IP and Injectors I can't imagine driving anything else. But wouldn't complain about better mileage. But 15 MPG is better then 9 in a gas van.

    2-speed rear end?

    The new Injection pump and injectors are in but the MPG's are still around 15. What I was thinking was the possibility of putting in a 2 speed rear end one option for towing the other for mileage. I did a search but didn't see anything. Has this been done? Any thoughts on putting a split or...

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    The local transmission shop quoted me $45.00. I may need to price some tools.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    It just took about 1/8th an inch and it feels like it did before the pump change. But I agree, I need to have it professionally set and will do that next week.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    By chance do you have a suggestion for the position of the VRV? I don't have a vacuum meter and when I took the VRV off the old IP and placed it on the new one I tried to match position as close as I can. But the trans shifts very hard and takes quite a bit of rpms to make the shift. This...

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    She started Well, I ended up with both1 and 4 going over the main fuel line but everything seems to fit nicely. Before attempting to start I filled the fuel filter with ATF, pulled the glow plug power and started cranking. After a few cranks I started to see ATF at a few of the injectors so...

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    Here are more shots. Hopefully large enough to work with. But I think weve got it. Now tighten everything up and try to install.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    the #4 that I am using is badly bent up so am using one from the other set. It seems to be similar in shape and fit right in.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    I took the #1 off and installed the #4 first then put the #1 back on but now both 1 and 4 are above the main fuel line.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    If the #1 goes under the fuel supply it puts the end of #1 lower then the rest. This is confusing. But here is a picture from a different angle.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    I still can't get #4 figured out. It seems to either be too high or too low compared to the other lines. I may just try to put it together loose and then tighten everything up. Is there a way to tighten the lines after they have been mated to the injector?

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    It is obvious that I have screwed this up. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not sure what to do at this point.

    That is a great write up but it doesn't show the angle I am looking for.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    I was going to use the newer fuel lines that came with my rebuilt pump but then changed my mind and wanted to use my old ones as they are for a van and the newer ones are from a truck with the fuel filter on the other side. Needless to say I've been one grumpy gus trying to work this out.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    I guess I didn't communicate my question right. I do have the firing order but am having a hard time with the maze of metal hoses and getting them to fit within the puzzle so the ends are where they need to be. Especially lines 1 and 4. In the pictures you might be able to see what I mean.

    Injector Fuel Line arrangement on IP

    Ok, I have the new injectors in and am now attaching the fuel lines to the Injector Pump but cannot seem to get them arranged properly to fit back into the holders. Does anyone have a pic of the IP that shows the fuel lines attached so I can copy it? I a picture of the timing and how to do...
