    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...

    Manual Shift Valve Body

    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

    There are a lot of great suggestions here, thanks!

    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.

    Fuel Filter Mystery

    Over time, my '91 7.3 IDI short bus has needed fuel filters more and more often. I'm currently on a long road trip, and so far i've needed a new fuel filter every 1000 miles or so. Tanks have been dropped and checked for gunk/algae/rust. Rear tank is totally clean and front tank has some rust...

    STURBRIDGE MA - where can I get towed to?

    Hey there, thanks for the vindication! I feel like I've tried everything to circumvent that issue but never got the gauge working. I'm ok using the mileage but I need to keep better track of which tank I'm on, I guess. Usually I just fill up and it's not an issue, but the station wasn't taking...

    STURBRIDGE MA - where can I get towed to?

    Well the state police intervened and I’ve been towed to cracked Barrel. I am 90% sure I’m just out of prime - yes, I’m an idiot, yes, I ran out of fuel, for the second time in 2 weeks. I was not on the right tank but the other one is full, and I cannot get it to start. There is of course a slim...

    STURBRIDGE MA - where can I get towed to?

    I am on the side of the MA pike, E350 short bus is dead. It stopped the way a vehicle that’s out of fuel would stop but I fueled up less than 40 miles ago. Turns over, sounds fine. Was running fine before I turned it off and then started up again. It almost feels like it’s out of prime but how...

    Did I kill my jump pack, or my battery, or both?

    Ahhhh! This sounds awesome, thank you!
