    Part ID help

    OK, thanks, I see the selector but it's not involved in this situation.

    Part ID help

    Thanks, but Max is my bus. I'm Mary. Max was never a 6.9, he's a 7.3. And I'm not talking about a water separator. Anyway, I think I've figured out that we are never going to locate this part, and I've found something newer that looks like it has the same connectors. Once it arrives then we'll...

    Part ID help

    It runs from the lift pump to another line that looks like it goes to the fuel filter. I don't think the tank selector valve is involved, but I don't actually know for sure. I don't really know my way around this fuel system at all. What does the tank selector valve look like? This is definitely...

    I think maybe that's the line that this piece attaches to, I think, not the piece itself.

    Part ID help

    I am looking for the part in these photos. It's a line that runs from the lift pump, and connects to another line that goes to the fuel filter, as seen in the second photo. It's leaking and needs to be replaced. I'm not a mechanic (not even remotely) but I have had a super hard time finding one...

    Transmission Hell

    So... you may have seen my previous thread, where the mechanic who installed my transmission tried to convince me I had somehow gotten an E4OD with a manual shift valve body from Monster Transmission. That is of course not true. The transmission at the time I posted that thread would only shift...

    Manual Shift Valve Body

    Sorry to have disappeared, I am in an area of the desert with really bad spotty internet. I'm going to start a new thread because I think people are probably not going to be looking at this one anymore, and I really, really need help. So hopefully, you'll join me in my new thread called...

    It doesn't.

    Manual Shift Valve Body

    So can you explain how it's supposed to work? It's certainly possible I'm describing it wrong.

    Manual Shift Valve Body

    So I just replaced my transmission. After getting scammed by a mechanic who said he could rebuild it but just took it apart and took a bunch of my money (long story, but that's the short version), I purchased a "quick ship" e4od from Monster Transmission, and found a trustworthy, experienced guy...

    Fuel Filter Mystery

    scraped the inside of the front tank with a screwdriver, and it came up with nothing on it. The scratch is metal on metal, it really doesn't seem like anything. BUt I guess it's possible it's worse... then again fuel in the filter is clean. Have not changed gas caps, but that's interesting to know!

    Fuel Filter Mystery

    Yes, today was the first time I got a chance to see the fuel coming out of the filter and it's clean. And yes, it does have rubber hoses. OK, thanks, this helps.

    Fuel Filter Mystery

    That makes sense except that the performance improves dramatically with a new fuel filter. Would that happen if it were the lift pump?

    Fuel Filter Mystery

    The rear tank is completely clean, the front tank has very minor rust. I'm not consistently fueling at any one place, but it's almost exclusively national chain truck stops.
