    Ford Part Numbers

    Thank you all for making the time to reply. I've saved all of your advice and resources, and I'm pretty sure I'll be using them. I work on chainsaws [Stihls], and I was able to just by the CD that has every model and every part number all the way back to probably the 80's. I was foolishly hoping...

    Ford Part Numbers

    Hi all. Hey, quick question. The most confounding thing for me many times is to need a part and not have access to the part number. No, I don't need anyone posting part numbers, I simply cannot verify them and find myself, yet again, bugging the dealership for a part number that both they and I...

    Transmission swap from a "c6" to a "e4od"

    I did some research a ways back. Bauman made a good unit, and it is designed for such applications.

    E4OD Upgrade

    Question: Bauman Computer suggested for an E4OD upgrade, from a C6. That requires the VSS and probably other input. What I'd like an educated opinion on: If I use the MANUAL valve body,do I even need the Computer or speed sensor? I have a manual valve body in my C6 right now, and I decide the...

    1987 6.9 c6 to e4od questions

    Bauman computer, E40D built to 97 specs, VSS, TPS, correct flexplate, Triple disk torque converter. I spent a bit of time researching this. Realistic cost for correctly built tranny and equipment would be about $6500. I also figure there has to be a fudge factor with anything like that, so I'd...

    Engine-Tech Head Gaskets

    I guess my main concern at this point is knowing the quality of these components before I go to get them. I could drive over to Idaho, and get the OEM lifters and cam, but this outfit is a lot less. I like their write up and manufacturing process but I live by the addage (I think Reagan said...

    Engine-Tech Head Gaskets

    Great info. The truth is, I really don't know what's in there. You have made me think, however, that I'd better just wait to see before I go and start spending a bunch of money for the wrong parts. Truth is, I imagine it's bone stock, so I imagine it's the flat tappet. It would have been...

    Head gasket question

    Yup, gonna have to wait till spring. I do like the way you did yours with the hoist. You probably saved yourself from having to buy another set of HGs.

    Engine-Tech Head Gaskets

    Looking at this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/88-94-Ford-Navistar-7-3L-IDI-Cam-CAMSHAFT-LIFTERS-/110910726851?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19d2cb62c3 Wonder if anyone out there knows anything about Engine-Tech products? Was looking for VR Head Gaskets, and saw these. Any...

    Head gasket question

    In my case, I have oil leaking, and I'd like to get the whole block cleaned off, front mainseals, waterpump, intake manifold, and head gaskets replaced. With all that, I have an engine hoist and tractor bucket, and 12+ ceilings, so I'm inclined to pull it, but I sure appreciate both methods.

    Head gasket question

    If you had it all over to do, would you pull the block or not?

    Replacing water pump

    I like the looks of that AC Delco pump. Ford has the Motorcraft one in stock. Anythoughts on that one? I agree about the cheaper versions, even if they are lifetime warranty, but. I also want new. SO, what about the Motorcraft one?

    usdieselparts.com ?

    I travel some lonely roads. A tow bill is, minimume: $500.00, not to mention one cold night in the snow. Soooooo.......Mel's $, in the long run, I bet I'm more than that ahead. Shoot, two tows and it's paid for.

    Speedometer Repair/Rebuild

    Had great experience with this rebuilder. They rebuild and calibrated my speedometer in about five days (turnaround). Polite, professional and so far, great work. I bought a new speedometer for $250.00, was not happy. This outfit rebuilt mine for around $90.00 and change. Thanks for the...
