    E4OD nightmare!!

    Well, I’m finally down to just one code presenting itself and giving me fits. I don’t recall the Code #, but it was FIPL out of range. I checked it, set it at 1.2VDC @warm idle, and the best I can get is 3.5VDC @WOT. If I set it for 4.5VDC @WOT, then it’s showing 2.2VDC @ idle. I am convinced...

    Thewespaul, I’d love about any option that would get my truck running right. The 5-spd would be great, but my clutch knee is shot, for the second time. And your transmission would be fine too, if Texas wasn’t so far away!!

    Come on guys!! Somebody has to know the answer to these dreaded E4OD transmissions!! I have replaced the VSS, the MLPS, the Solenoid Pack and the connector, and the FIPL. I bought this truck BECAUSE of the mechanical attributes. I’m about to swap the tranny for a C-6, but I’ve got too much...

    1994 CCLB 7.3 IDI Factory Turbo E4OD transmission codes?

    Well, I had ordered a new connector for the solenoid pack, so I soldered it into the harness, plugged it in, disconnected the NEG on both batteries for over an hour. Took her for a test drive, and she shifts on her own now. Well, the shift isn’t pretty. It’s more like a 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-3. And...

    Steve, I can’t open the file that you shared. I bit the bullet this morning and replaced all of the relays. Nothing changed. The only things left, I think, are the computer and the harness. I’m about to give up.

    1994 CCLB 7.3 IDI Factory Turbo E4OD transmission codes?

    Steve, I just got it adjusted correctly so that I’m reading 1.2 and 4.0! That wasn’t as much fun as it looks on TV!! Test drive proved no changes. I have now replaced the VSS (speedo still bounces above about 50mph), the solenoid pack, the MLPI (neutral safety switch), and the FIPL (TPS). I am...

    1994 CCLB 7.3 IDI Factory Turbo E4OD transmission codes?

    UPDATE: I bought a new FIPL in hopes that it would be the solution to all of my issues. Unfortunately, it has proven to create more problems. I've tried everything that I can think of, but i can NOT get 1.2VDC at idle AND 4.0VDC at WOT. What am I doing wrong?

    Testing E4OD Solenoid Pack and Code referrence.

    Guys and gals, I want everyone to know that I GREATLY appreciate and the advice and tips!! I’m learning FAST in here. One thing I noticed last night, the OD has started to flash now. Does it flash a code? Mine just blinks on and off at a steady rate.

    Is there a way to test the one in my burned up trans to ensure that it’s OK? Should I just buy a rebuilt one?

    1994 CCLB 7.3 IDI Factory Turbo E4OD transmission codes?

    Pulse width modulation. Thanks! That would make sense. It would be “speaking a different language” than the truck.

    1994 CCLB 7.3 IDI Factory Turbo E4OD transmission codes?

    It’s pretty obvious that I’m no expert either. My engine is an IDI with factory turbo. I thought my solenoid pack would be in worse shape than the “new trans”, so I installed it all as a package. My thought was that “if the connectors are the same..” Did I mention that I do NOT get paid to think?

    1994 CCLB 7.3 IDI Factory Turbo E4OD transmission codes?

    So I need to buy a 1994 solenoid pack? Or any entire transmission?

    1994 CCLB 7.3 IDI Factory Turbo E4OD transmission codes?

    HELP!! I recently purchased this truck because it has the famous 7.3, no computer, no rust, and VERY recently rebuilt trans, and only 200K miles on it. About a month and a half after buying it, I hooked up my 9K lb travel trailer and headed north for a 550 mile trek to our favorite vacation...
