1997 E40D 4x4 Refreshment
The pan was pretty clean. The magnet was a pretty fuzzy but that was it. No chunks and nothing shiny. I was looking at the Tru Cool cooler. And have heard a lot about the transgo kit. Some people said the problem with the transgo kit is that it's a lot of work for little return. But that's just...- CaptainMorgan556

1997 PSD Awful Gas Mileage
Well, I cleaned the EBP tube pretty recently, could it be the sensor? Any way to check? Also I have a leak of oil off my pedestal so maybe that could have something to do with it? I honestly have no idea where to start looking. Also I only run off the rear tank, front one isn't in the truck...- CaptainMorgan556

1997 PSD Awful Gas Mileage
Hey guys, recently I've installed new tires, rebuilt my Dana 50, put on a new oil cooler, and flushed my cooling system completely, but recently I've noticed my fuel Milage has gone down very considerably. To the point where I'm using almost half the real tank to get to work and back! I don't...- CaptainMorgan556

Oil Cooler Reseal. Oil change Coolant flush

But there isn't any coolant in my oil which should mean my headgaskets are okay but it points to my oil cooler. Here are my questions. 1) How hard is it to remove? And...- CaptainMorgan556

Buddy of mine is parting out my old truck, so I was gonna take the dash out (it's a 1992 F-350 crew cab 7.3 IDI) and I was gonna use it to replace the dash in my 1997 F-250 Powerstroke.

E40D Service and Rebuild
Alright everyone, My trans has had shifting issues for the entire time I've had it, even before I owned it and it was my buddies truck.
