    Does a fuel sending unit need to be 'rust inhibited' before re-installing?

    I should put some air in the lines to see if anything leaks.. But there don't appear to be any pin holes. (the lines look fairly uniform). I was just wondering if a coat of POR15 or Mastercoat would help, hinder, be overkill..

    Does a fuel sending unit need to be 'rust inhibited' before re-installing?

    Hydro-blasted the (original) sending unit to remove 30+ years of accumulated rust, and now it looks really good. With all the rust gone, I was wondering if the unit needs to be sprayed with some sort of primer, rust inhibitor, or epoxy coating to prevent it from getting nasty again.. Or is...

    Trouble finding fuel sender for early 90's E-350.

    Thanks! It looks like they have ones for 22 gallon tanks, I have a 35 gallon tank. I will be calling them tomorrow, and seeing what I can find out. I came across Nick Pisca's solution of using an aftermarket unit, with some modification to it...

    how to go on with my E4OD

    This may be redundant, and unnecessary but if you have the time.. There is a YouTube channel where a shop dismantles transmissions, and the mechanic talk about each step, points out potential flaws and points of failure, and provides detail (Precision Transmission) He has done several E4OD's...

    Saw this at an auction today.

    I remember way back in the days of the 'dot.com' bubble, when companies went out of business and their equipment was auctioned off.. crazy behaviors, when compared to rational actions.. there have been articles about it. like this one...

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    Thanks @trackspeeder . So that would affect overdrive? and not the first 3 gears?

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    It shifted at around 45 mph. pretty smoothly, no hunting. I'll check all the connections, hit them with some electrical contact cleaner

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    I really hope it is something like a worn wire somewhere.. rather than rings or valves.. I replaced the solenoid pack about a year ago.. and the injectors are were replaced very recently. Would timing mess with overdrive performance?

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    That doesn't sound like it's going to be a simple fix.

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    Finally got around to taking the truck out after the last problematic run I posted about. This time I was driving during the day, without rain, and with the bad injector replaced. I googled the issue I am having, and some results point to the engine, others say torque converter. VEHICLE...
