    Has anyone had their "OD" flash on an e40d and not flash the next start up?

    My OD was flashing in the middle of my drive (after 5 miles). got to my destination (15 miles) without feeling anything wrong with my E40D. pushing the od button to shift up and down still worked. I disconnected the battery from a switch. I started it up after 4 hours and its no longer flashing...

    Knocking at higher end rpm ?

    So I just finished all the mods and upgrades on my truck. I did a shake down and it is knocking after 30 min of driving. The knocking only happens right before the transmission shifts. It gets louder and louder and disappears after the shift. The mods: Turned up the IP 1 flat. (pump was...

    Turn up your ip with an endoscope

    This took me about 10 min and way easier than the mirror method. The endoscope I used cost me 10 bucks from eBay. I just thought I'd share. There were some specs of contamination from running wmo and picked them up with cotton buds to.

    Transmission noise? (e40d with video)

    Ive got this e350 7.3 idi with an E40d transmission. I cant figure out if the sound is related to the torque converter or a gear is cooked inside. My best hope is that it is engine related and maybe out of fuel. The sound is twice as loud as the normal engine does. At first I thought it was...

    So I tried running a batch of 50/50 wmo that had been sitting for 7 months (wmo not diesel). starts right up but when I blip the throttle, the engine drops rpm too far and stalls out. I tried driving it and it would die if I let go of the throttle too fast. When It got in to WOT it ran ok. Every...

    Why does is smoke black if I time the injection too advanced?

    I can understand white smoke for the retarded timing. Diesel doesn't have enough time to burn and just goes out to the exhaust. How does advanced timing make it black? If it's firing to early, why is it black and called unburnt fuel? I've tried researching it but I can't find anything.

    Im not sure if this is normal but there is a wobble between the alternator and engine pulley that I didnt notice before putting in a new alternator. So I changed the tensioner and idler. After the tensioner was changed the squeels started. The old one seemed stiff but didnt squeel as much. (not...

    Centrifuging D2 from the pump

    I was just curious if anyone has tried to centrifuge d2 diesel as a controlled base line of what is going into our tanks compared to wmo/wvo. I Ordered my spinner from Pa Biodiesel but it will take another week to get here. I don't know how well refineries filter their D2. If most stock fuel...

    I have a 7.3 IDI and about 5 gallons of old brake fluid. It's essentially hydraulic fluid with anti corrosion additives in them right? Master cylinder has rubber seals and they never rot out.
