    80-91 tilt column rebuild

    I spent most of three days trying to reduce free play. It does have a real U joint. I am guessing it is something they stuffed in a non tilt unit, and that was the best they could do with the space that was available. There are are four balls. They are not all the same size. How they are...

    2001 E350 brakes

    Ah yes, the parking brake. I am guessing a spring broke. I was on the other side of the country. I have since removed all the parking brake parts. I have a 4R100 with a drive shaft brake that I need to check/rebuild and install. No thank you.

    2001 E350 brakes

    I have two E350s; one is a 1984 that I modified with a dual wheel rear and a 94 IDI turbo engine. It weighs 9K#. The other is a 2001 PSD. It weighs 12K#. It used to be a bus, is now RV. Both have disk front brakes, and the same DANA 70, dual wheel rear. The 9K rear has drums and the 12K...

    Fluid change or rebuild?

    I currently have six Fords that run, two more in work, and two waiting. I stopped using in-radiator coolers decades ago. I found they are often trans heaters, not coolers. I now get triple pass radiators that do not even have a trans cooler. The pic is my current favorite trans cooler. The...

    Fluid change or rebuild?

    I did build the trans. It has an F5 pump with a metal drain back valve - I melted a plastic one once. I used a Transgo Tugger kit, with the selective hole size the smaller of the three suggestions. It has a 6 planet somewhere, I forget where. The convertor is a triple disk billet. The pan...

    Fluid change or rebuild?

    I have an E4OD that I built eleven years and 95K miles ago. I have never changed the fluid. It was red, it is now brown, which I assume is friction material. Is it fluid change or rebuild time?

    Looking for a rust bucket IDI truck

    I found an engine near home. It is a 93, is serpentine, and seems to have all the accessory brackets, and a flexplate and block/trans spacer.

    Looking for a rust bucket IDI truck

    I have apparently been too busy to think. We have my 63 F100 stripped to the shell. We have been to car shows the last two weekends. Hot Rod Power Tour is coming up. And I seem to had forgotten there is an 89 E350 in my back yard. It is what I bought for it's 7.3 IDI for my 84 E350. It is...

    Looking for a rust bucket IDI truck

    I am looking for a 7.3 IDI truck. I need a title, a good frame, and would like a ten foot wheel base. I don't actually need anything else. I would rather not pay for a good body because the whole point of this is to use a body I already have. I have a 76 Mercury Montego wagon. CA is...

    Supply/Lift pumps

    I would hope you would understand, that my point is, if I can move 9K#, 60 MPH, up a rather steep hill, with no supply pump at all, it should not take much of a supply pump to run properly.

    Supply/Lift pumps

    Which gold pump, the one on the frame or the one on the table? They are both currently available. The one on the counter is by Carter, and is available both "real" and knock-off. The one on the frame, I have used a bunch of over decades and only had to replace two. They cost so little I...

    Supply/Lift pumps

    On the subject of getting fuel from the tank to the IP, I think many of you are spending too much time and money on the subject. Based on the request for a dead horse emoji, I assume the common talk about a Facet pump it is a 40223 that people are referring to. A brief look at eBay shows...

    Get your brake confidence back with Power Stop + May Deal

    On the advice of a Power Stop rep at SEMA, I put Z36 Extreme Truck and Tow on my E350 PSD front and rear. They are back in the box, still near new. Coming down from the eastern Sierras they faded BAD!!.

    Alternator Idler Pulley for V-Belts?

    Ford used an idler pulley on their V belt AC compressors. It is a pulley you can easily adapt to whatever you need. This is my van. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SYw97k4j1g4zZStb7

    New guy, Looking for a C6

    I have an IDI C6. It drove in in my 89 parts van. I am in SoCal. I will probably be in Florida in June. But that is after Hot Rod Power Tour. The tour starts in Memphis, TN. I might be able to live with an extra transmission until Memphis.

    Fuel filter changes?

    Pics 9&10 of this album are my Raycor filter; when it was new, clean and shiny, and much later. I kept the "dirty filter switch". The other common filter is for the trans. https://goo.gl/photos/LJNV4esgmYmSzKdL8

    E4od US shift quick 4 stand alone transmission controller available

    I have an 84 E350 IDI mechanical, and an 01 E350 PSD, OBDII. I don't know a lot about what is in between. Where does a 98 E250 get a speed signal?

    E4od US shift quick 4 stand alone transmission controller available

    I assume the speedometer in electronic, true? If so, where does it get the speed signal. Everything that uses vehicle speed would use the same signal. Isn't 1998 a PSD. So yes we are in the wrong forum. But Baumman is general to E4OD, AODE,,,. But, Doesn't an 89 have a power train...

    E4od US shift quick 4 stand alone transmission controller available

    I have a first gen Baumman in my van and a quickshift4 in a 65 Mustang/AODE. The sample files in the first gen were generally close to what worked for me. The AODE file had shift points set so high that at 40MPH it was still in low gear. I needed to do a complete reprogram before I could even...

    E4od US shift quick 4 stand alone transmission controller available

    When you indicated a problem because there was no VSS port in the tail housing, I assumed you were depending on it for both trans and speedometer. How are you driving the speedometer?

    E4od US shift quick 4 stand alone transmission controller available

    You need a hole in the output shaft housing, and, a speedometer gear on the output shaft. I once received a trans that had the hole but not the gear. It went back to the builder for a shaft change. They accepted responsibility because I had specified number of teeth, and zero was not the...
