    Thanks for the info! Just got the tools to measure everything. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get it down to the point of measuring something :P

    7.3 NA Rebuild Thread - Pics - Much help needed! :)

    Got the fan off with the chisel method. 2 hits and it was off :) I actually prefer the 65 fastback body to the regular 67 fastback style. Now shelby/eleanor 67 looks are a different story ;) If you're really interested in finding a 67 at a reasonable price, keep an eye on the...

    7.3 NA Rebuild Thread - Pics - Much help needed! :)

    Ok, I pressure washed this thing, which got pretty messy! However, it cleaned up really nicely. Next step in the teardown is removing the IP, intake manifold, then heads. Is there anything I should do PRIOR TO doing the teardown? I don't want to get the thing all torn apart and wish I...

    7.3 NA Rebuild Thread - Pics - Much help needed! :)

    Sorry, Didn't realize the pics didn't attach properly. Back on topic, got my buddy's pressure washer and a ton of degreaser. Gonna try to get it shot tomorrow evening. I'm having trouble getting the radiator fan off :mad: The fan clutch tool kit doesn't have the metric size for the bolt...

    7.3 NA Rebuild Thread - Pics - Much help needed! :)

    My wife calls Eleanor my other woman...she takes all my money and leaves me behind :P I bought it almost 2 years ago as a shell and have done EVERYTHING myself. Even the paint and body...which needs to be redone :P SO much to learn on your first project, having no background in mechanics or...

    7.3 NA Rebuild Thread - Pics - Much help needed! :)

    So, I got a great deal on a spare 7.3L NA engine. The guy swapped a 99 7.3L into his truck, and sold me this oil burner :) It's complete from the pressure plate in the back, to the fan in the front. I've gotten started by removing everything from the front of the block. Now, I've got a big...

    Anyone for a V-Belt Setup?

    I bought a spare engine to rebuild, and it came with EVERYTHING on the engine, So as I started tearing it down, I remember reading some threads that folks preferred the V-Belts. So, I've got a complete v-belt setup if anyone is interested. I'll throw in the alternator, PS pump, and...

    E40D question. Internal Parts swap from gas engine E40D?

    From FTE Forums: Regarding MLPS: Wrong Gear Starts Bad or mis-adjusted MLPS Can cause wrong gear starts, no upshift, falls out of gear, and high line pressure = harsh upshift and engagements. May or may not set code 67/634 (MLPS out of position). Note MLPS is located on driver's...

    Tachometer not working. E40D NOT in limp mode, NO OD light flashing/on. ???

    I took the gauge cluster *almost* out and put it back it...too much work to get it out of there with an automatic transmission PRND21 cable and a non-tilt wheel. Plus I had other things to do today instead of working on that all day. The good news. This seems to have fixed the problem...

    Tachometer not working. E40D NOT in limp mode, NO OD light flashing/on. ???

    :confused: So, the tachometer on my 94 just went out. The TECM is getting good readings, though, as I am lead to believe by the absence of limp mode and OD light being on. The truck still drives as it always has, but without any tachometer now. Here's what I've checked into so far: 1...

    E40D question. Internal Parts swap from gas engine E40D?

    Will be tearing into the wiring loom tomorrow bright and early. From what I'm reading on this and the ford-trucks forums, it seems like it's pretty common to find a chaffed/corroded wire along the way somewhere. For anyone else finding themselves in this situation, here's the wiring diagram I...

    E40D question. Internal Parts swap from gas engine E40D?

    Since im not in limp mode, i assume the tcm is getting the signal ?

    E40D question. Internal Parts swap from gas engine E40D?

    Not sure what to think here... Tach doesn't work at all. Nothing at idle, nothing driving. Swapped the RPM sensor from my spare engine, no go. Swapped TECA relay with another...still no go. No blown fuses. The funny thing is, the transmission isn't in limp mode. So, I'm confused as...

    E40D question. Internal Parts swap from gas engine E40D?

    UPDATE: 1. Wires/harness inspected and no visible defects. There's all sort of fluids everywhere, so lots to clean >< (PS pump leak, valve cover leak, rear main leak...I have a core to rebuild in the garage) 2. TPS within normal limits. 3. at about 40-45mph, I engaged the hazards. Got...
