Well guys, I sold the beast. I needed more room for activities. Guy I sold it too is not a stranger to diesels or F250s so I will send him this way. Thank you very much for the info and support over the years, this place has kinda become like a second family.
Well gang the time has come. I need more interior space than she can provide.
Here's her info:
I’ve owned this truck for a little over two years now. I am the second owner; I purchased it from a family who used it on a farm. When I bought it she had 219k miles, she now has 222k. She was...
Yup did all that too. Still didn't help.
I did, however, fix it but not in a way I would have anticipated.
I remembered reading a post over at the diesel stop where a guys fipl didn't like being at 1.2 so he lowered it and got great results. I played with mine and set it at 1.02v and around...
I'd appreciate that info very much. I'll check the relay. Shift solenoid connector is new and greased. I pulled the plug off the firewall cleaned and greased it. I pulled the trans tunnel cover and chased the wires, cleaned and rewrapped the harness, didn't see anything broken.
I'm beginning to understand why people hate this transmission. It's not the transmission, it's all the stupid sensors it runs off of.
Here's the scene: 93 f250, replaced shift solenoid, get the truck out onto the street and she shifts better than ever, right up to 55mph and then just holds...
Took off and replaced the driver valve cover three times. First time forgot to put the wing clamp things on. Got that sorted then realized I couldn't feel the rear most locking tab of the gasket, off she goes again and discovered the gasket got folded. Back on again, go to snug it up and...
Thanks for all your help guys. Pulled the valve cover and retorqued as above. Every bolt save the rear two were at 110ftlbs, those rear two not sure, as a test I had the wrench set at 100 and all the others clicked immediately, the rear two kept turning. I did do the procedure on nicks site...
Dude that's an amazing write up thanks! That's exactly what my bolts look like, dry exhaust side and oily elsewhere. I'm used to working on Chevys and Volvo with torque to yield. Thanks again.
That's what my pop who maintains diesels on a farm said to try. I'm dubious, won't the bolts have stretched too much to hold? I mean I'm still gonna do it just curious
Lol I wish. I was just getting ready to post it for sale, not ponder spending X amount of dollars! Or sell her with a leaky head gasket and take the hit.
oh yeah she was warmed up, needle was almost to the "L". Fan spun like a top for a good 30 seconds. Had a mechanic buddy of mine take a look at it and he diagnosed her as "tits up". So that's one problem down. Unfortunately we discovered a head gasket leak at the right rear corner of the...
