    1997 E40D 4x4 Refreshment

    The pan was pretty clean. The magnet was a pretty fuzzy but that was it. No chunks and nothing shiny. I was looking at the Tru Cool cooler. And have heard a lot about the transgo kit. Some people said the problem with the transgo kit is that it's a lot of work for little return. But that's just...

    1997 E40D 4x4 Refreshment

    Hello again friends, I've looked around the inter webs and I can't find the right information for what I'm looking for. I have a 1997 F-250HD 4x4 E40D transmission. I get very harsh shifts 1-2, weird shifting, and it takes a little for reverse to engage. I recently replaced my fluid with...

    1997 PSD Awful Gas Mileage

    Well, I cleaned the EBP tube pretty recently, could it be the sensor? Any way to check? Also I have a leak of oil off my pedestal so maybe that could have something to do with it? I honestly have no idea where to start looking. Also I only run off the rear tank, front one isn't in the truck...

    1997 PSD Awful Gas Mileage

    Hey guys, recently I've installed new tires, rebuilt my Dana 50, put on a new oil cooler, and flushed my cooling system completely, but recently I've noticed my fuel Milage has gone down very considerably. To the point where I'm using almost half the real tank to get to work and back! I don't...

    Oil Cooler Reseal. Oil change Coolant flush

    I bought the full kit from Dieselorings.com , should I take the both sides that the cylinder slides into out? Or can I get away with jusy leaving the one in towards the front of the engine and remove the cylinder and oil filter piece?

    Oil Cooler Reseal. Oil change Coolant flush

    Alright gentlemen, the coolant in my Degas bottle is very dark, either brown or black. I believe there is oil in my coolant. But there isn't any coolant in my oil which should mean my headgaskets are okay but it points to my oil cooler. Here are my questions. 1) How hard is it to remove? And...

    Pulling 92 Dash to put in 97 7.3

    Buddy of mine is parting out my old truck, so I was gonna take the dash out (it's a 1992 F-350 crew cab 7.3 IDI) and I was gonna use it to replace the dash in my 1997 F-250 Powerstroke. Anyone got a good write up of taking it out? Can I even swap the dashes? Outside they look the same but I was...

    E40D Service and Rebuild

    Alright everyone, My trans has had shifting issues for the entire time I've had it, even before I owned it and it was my buddies truck. Well I'm gonna replace the fluid (4 Gallons Valvoline Max Life ATF) and filter, and put in a little Lubegard Red, and see if that helps at all, if there's a...

    Removing the Gauge Cluster

    I put it back together for now cause I needed the truck. But I'll try again tomorrow if I can find those nuts to drop the column. I just don't know what I'm getting into, never messed with a steering column, looks complex lul

    Removing the Gauge Cluster

    Just kinda sucks, apparently was supposed to take like 15 minutes to get the damn thing out, but feels like when I try to do the simple stuff, it doesn't want to be simple.

    Removing the Gauge Cluster

    Here's what I'm looking at. I don't see anything to adjust it

    Removing the Gauge Cluster

    Thanks man. I hope it's adjustable because I don't see any other way I'd be able to get this thing out

    Removing the Gauge Cluster

    Hey guys. A few of the lights in my gauge cluster are out so I'm switching to blue LEDs and an gonna paint my needles. Anyways I'm trying to get it out and I got all 4 screws out. My issue is the Steering wheel seems to be too high to get it out, but for some reason I don't have an adjuster...

    New (to me) 7.3 Powerstroke!

    And one more question. This has confused me for a bit. So was there a change in the 7.3 powerstroke engine in 1997? That is in all new body style 7.3s and the last year of the OBS that the 1994-1996 OBS Powerstrokes don't share? Because some parts for example say 1994-1996 only and others say...

    New (to me) 7.3 Powerstroke!

    And anyone have a part # on the oil cooler kit. Most of the parts are the same except for the gasket that goes from the oil filter assembly to the block. And I don't exactly want to take it apart and drain everything before getting the parts.

    New (to me) 7.3 Powerstroke!

    Espensive. On the bottom of the timing cover there seems to be a break in the gasket and that's where I thought it was coming from. I'll take a picture . And on another note, I have seats somebody took out if like a ford minivan, very uncomfortable and they don't adjust, so I want to do the...

    New (to me) 7.3 Powerstroke!

    Yeah, I was having major issues, kept randomly accelerating, and stalling, and fuel leaks kept showing up, and lastly I found out that my odometer was messed with before I bought it. Sold with 289xxx miles and the last reading was 347xxx in 2001, so I traded it for a buddy of mines truck. He...

    New (to me) 7.3 Powerstroke!
