    4WD Shifter Freeplay

    Here are a couple pictures. I am pointing to the part that is allowing the lever to move freely. It isn't latching into the grooves. If its internal is there a part I can replace or just replace the entire tc?

    4WD Shifter Freeplay

    Looked at the linkages, nothing has popped off. All the plastic bushings have been replaced with new when i put in the zf5. I will try to take a picture tomorrow and put it up of the problem up

    4WD Shifter Freeplay

    The shifter seems to be broken but I dont quite understand how exactly. It won't go into any of the notches on the transmission for the gear selections (Plate on transmission where the 4wd lever connects to). It just passes all of them. Basically it just flops back and forth on the floor...

    E4OD Stuck on engine? Can't remove

    Alright Im stumped. The oil filter for the engine is behind the flywheel so I don't see that being a problem. Its a good 2 to 3 inches off the engine but still wont drop. It is turned to the left (rotated) a good 4 inches as well. Any ideas besides introducing it to the sawzall?!?:sly

    E4OD Stuck on engine? Can't remove

    Engine isn't seized up. I just always used the crankbolt to rotate the engine. I will try the handy screwdriver method tomorrow. Thank you. I will update once I get it off and/or blow it up

    E4OD Stuck on engine? Can't remove

    I finally got time and unbolted everything from the e4od and the engine. Crossmemeber, wires, 4X4 etc etc. the only thing that isn't undid is the torque converter bolts. Can't I still remove the trans with the torque converter bolted in? If not, does anyone know the socket size for the crank...

    Powerstroke ZF5 to a IDI truck?

    Will a transmission from a 1995 3/4 ton 7.3 power stroke work with a 89 1 ton 7.3 IDI? I am trying to do a auto to manual swap and found this great parts truck for sale for $1300. ALSO... If anyone needs anything off said 95 powerstroke, let me know. After I take the trans out I'm...

    New problem! New Speedo Gear torn up already

    Thank you for the advice. It is much appreciated. I got the dash apart and the cable out. The bolt on top of the transfer case was rounded off, so I will have to try and get that off tomorrow somehow. Once i get it off and replace the drive gear and the speedo gear I should be back in business!

    New problem! New Speedo Gear torn up already

    Its basically skipping second or hitting it and going immediately to 3. Then it jumps back and forth between OD and 3. I already adjusted the TPS to 1.01v unless its a different problem all together. (Torque Converter etc)
