    E4OD Problem

    I just retested it and it still has a problem. I noticed quite a squeal when it tries to go into OD. So I'll drive it home and hope for the best. I have a spare trans. to put in it if it makes it. Thanks for the help. Ross

    E4OD Problem

    I drove my 92 E350 van up to Turlock to sell at the auto show, and had no problems. I started towards Manteca to visit a friend and every time it shifted in to OD, it felt like the brakes were activated. I finally made it to Manteca by locking it out of overdrive. The OD light never flashed...

    Need a weird size battery...

    I had to get a "emergency vehicle" ambulance battery for the small hole in my 92. Cost over $115 from NAPA. Ross

    Recall notice

    I got the recall notice for my 1992 E-350 van without cruise control. It said I need the fix even without cruise. It also said to park said vehicle away from any buildings until fix is done. Ross

    Burning WMO, will 1 pint of brake fluid contaminate 20 gallons

    I've used brake fluid to seal tubless tires where the bead doesn't want to seal. I just brush a little on the bead before mounting the tire. Works good. Ross

    Prechamber coaking due to WMO

    The only thing that concerns me is that the buildup only appeared in about half of the cyls. WMO is not cylinder selective so by itself can't be the total problem, unless once the buildup reaches a certain point it burns off by itself. It may take a combination of 2 or more things to cause this...

    manual or auto

    I like a stick when 4 wheeling and it's a tossup when towing. But I definately like an automatic when stuck in stop and go freeway traffic. Ross

    Brake Light

    Low vacuum sensor tripping the brake lite usually means your vacuum pump is going south or you have a vacuum leak. The best test would be to tee a vacuum gauge into the system. Pumping the brakes at idle can cause loss of vacuum. Ross

    No charge :(

    Was the alternator a direct replacement? I seem to remember one of the leads from the alternator controls the light. Course my memory aint what it used to be. Ross

    CA to OH itinerary

    Another reason to take the southern route is that the fuel is cheaper. Especially in Oklahoma and Missouri. Check the Flying J web site for prices. http://www.flyingj.com/fuel/diesel_CF.cfm?state=ALL Ross

    trying to drain my fuel tank....

    What Mel said. I remove the valve core from the shrader valve on the fuel filter housing, run a fuel line from there to the other tank or container, turn on the electric pump and let it run. Ross

    Moose Pump Is Done

    Hey Gary, if you want to time it yourself, bring it to Victorville. I've got both a Snap-On and a pulse type timing meter you can use. I'll even help!!! You'll just have to catch me at home as I'm between Victorville and Lake Isabella. Let me know. Ross
