    Cracked head?

    It’s Ben 27 years but I think that was where hy first 6.9 leaked wrecking havoc. Hydro lock, bent rod. 2 tear dons ,number 2 to fix vibration caused by bent rod. Adaptor plat that held the starter on first attempt to start when it hydro locked. Head was ok, resurfaced for peace of mind.

    Killer dowel pin and the fix

    I have an old motor home (134,000 miles).I wonder what percent of them have a problem. 1994 Holidaiy ramberler 36 foot . 5.9 12 valve 230 factory horse. 6 speed Allison. 137000 miles. Needs some love but really puppy type love. I read about 2 other ways. 1. A set screw just thru the dowell...

    12v cummins 300hp with 5r110w

    Most important - keep the trans COOL! Run an ext cooler. Add a temp gauge. You will know when it’s getting hot, and back off till it cools. It owed over 200000 on a Jasper rebuild. Sold it 10 years ago was still hauling hay when I last saw it. I ran 2 cooler in front of the radiator plumbed in...

    Which antifreeze? Changing to Aluminum radiator

    This is kind of late. But I have delt with heat issues in hard working engines for years. I have read over and over about the benefits, reduced possibilities of sitting beside the road boiling over while your engine crackles and pops with steam boiling out of the radiator. My belief is that...

    Using 2nd gear with E4OD while towing?

    I don't think its a bad idea. Think about it when you let it shift under a load the clutch in automatic or hydraulically shifted transmissions and manual trannys with a clutch make more heat. (like riding a clutch) slippage causes heat (the absolute worst enemy of most machined especially manual...

    Using 2nd gear with E4OD while towing?

    Thanks Russ but with your experience I don't think you need a programmer - you have the knowledge to get it right with your knowledge and your throttle foot.

    Using 2nd gear with E4OD while towing?

    Your right Kevin I doit when I drive a car now- life time habit. It makes m quiver when I ride with some one that that pushes the throttle down and hold it steady thru the gears. I rode once with a guy that loaded his trailer heavy with scrap iron all the way to the junk yard I could hear it...

    Using 2nd gear with E4OD while towing?

    I had a Jasper reman. I puled a 30ft Goosneck low bed equip trailer. Occasionally over 22000 gross. And a few times over 25,000. I think it was in 2002 that I got the transmission factory installed. It also had a banks turbo. when I got home from the Jasper plant in Indiana I installed a temp...

    Using 2nd gear with E4OD while towing?

    The manual lock up mod is a great addition to make an E40D last. I towed heavy for a few years and my E40d was awesome ,with the lock up and a double tranny cooler. One serious point use it only when approaching highway speeds and remember under 30 UNLOCK IT it will stall an IDI and possibly...

    No thermostat new water pump and she's getting warm

    May I chime in. I ran IDI's over the road years ago. One lesson IS USE a genuine ford thermostat -or you are asking for big trouble when the rubber meets the road. Check your Fan clutch. Watch for bubbles in the coolant if you loose water. These engines don't take much fancy to being...

    Oil Cooler Orings

    I may also add That twice I found the header that bolts to the block wasn't flat. Check themwith a head guage - don't double up gaskets & add gobs of permatex. My fix I had a heavy piece of 3/4 plate that check out flat - a little valva lapping compound a lot of elbow grease and both headers...

    Watch those air filters.

    back in time I drove a white w/ 220 ***-mins for one 400 mile round trip.it just had no guts (I was used to a Mackw/5 speed maxidyne). By the 100 mile mark I could feel the power loss when I got to Albany to swap trailers with one carrying a beer load. Beer loads are hard pulling and...
