I just bougth a 1992 or 3 F-350 with 7.3idi non-turbo/E4OD, 2wd, RCDRW flatbed truck and drove it home. It has some tranny problems, I think it is in limp home mode (only two gears and manul shifts a must). I tried to run the codes but got nothing but a constant beep on my cheap Actron scanner. I noticed there are only two wires going to the OBD plug as opposed to several on my gas burners. I also have a yellow wire snipped at the ECM plug for some reason and there are several other cut and cut/spliced wires in the engine compartment and under the truck at the transmission. Also, the OD button is not lighting at all let alone blinking any trouble lights at me, but the lamp is good when tested on the bench. I also have no tachometer readings, so I am sure this is also a problem since the trans needs this info.
This truck has/had a Telma Brake Retarder at one time but the controls have been removed and only the unit between the driveshafts remain. I am sure this is the source of major problems as the info I found so far suggest it is tied into the transmission and truck wiring somehow and I think when the controls were yanked, someone had no idea how to splice it all back together. I would buy a shop manual but I have not found any to be worth the paper they are printed on, especially when it comes to wiring diagrams.
If any one can help me out with a wiring diagram for this truck I would really appreciate it, I am anxious to get started on this WVO project and I can't wait to slap on this complete Banks Sidewinder I picked off a 1990 f-250 7.3idi junkyard truck last week.
