    WANTED Unrepairable, broken, damaged e4od

    I went and looked at a 2wd 97 with 120K on it, but the 2wds are to long. I am buying a ford reman from my dealer vendor. Just don't want to give up the good one in my truck when I could sell it and the core charge is $1K. If I could find a junk one for $100-200 and give that as a core then...

    Need one for a core, just needs to be complete. Can have a broken bell housing, a hole through the side of the case whatever. For a powerstroke. I'm around Grand Rapids, MI.

    I know this, that is why the EBV is still having issues. Just now the issues are not as bad as they were.

    The sensor at the end of the pipe off the right manifold is bad......its stuck showing 50 psi of pressure all the time even with the truck turned off and sitting.

    I have also noticed that the EBV isn't nearly as bad as it was in the mornings before the IDM replacement. Now the valve just barely restricts flow for about .5 mile unlike before when I couldn't even clear 30mph for almost two miles.

    I think it does, what are "normal" readings?

    Maybe, haven't towed yet. But now I pass the Buzz tests and the contribution tests. So now I feel I am clear to make some upgrades now that the stock stuff is up to par. Looking at some stage 1 injectors and a tuner eventually. And a Trans rebuild.

    Picked up a used IDM that had a matching number as to mine (thanks dumper). Just installed it, ran the inj buzz test prior to install and kept getting the IDM fault, installed the new used and I have ran the inj buzz test 5 times and it has passed everytime. Gonna go out and get it warmed up...

    Okay so drove all around yesterday no new issues, same as was before just gutless. On the drive in this am, it would intermittently lose power then the CEL would come on and it would hiccup, trans shift hard again, then the light would turn off and back to normal then after a couple miles it...

    Okay update time... Fixed the fuel leak. Turns out the "known good" IPR was actually a bad IPR. The guy I bought it from realized it afterwards. And my buddy brought the actual "known good" one to me today at my shop which was very cool of him being it is a 25 mile drive from his shop to mine...

    Okay, went back out and it started and idled normal and had the check engine lamp on. Went and drove it and it seemed normal or as it was before other then the constant CEL. However now all my trans shifts are really really firm. I had installed the sonax spring in the valve body a few weeks...

    Okay, so I install a "known good" regulator and solenoid. Reinstall fuel bowl with new filter and fill with diesel, refill the HPOP with oil (from the little allan plug hole thing top left). Warm the plugs, truck fires right up and idles smooth. Then about 2 minutes later stalls instantly...
