Scott Tremelling - Nixon Transmissions in Jackson, California
This guy was recommended by members of a Facebook page associated with these trucks. He quoted me a price for an E4OD delivered to my house and I gave him a deposit. I had to hound him for months to finish my transmission. I had to...
I had a belt problem on a 94 with the 4.9 6 cylinder that I couldn't figure out. All of the pulleys looked fine, lined up, with no wobble. One day I decided to change the water pump just because I knew it had a lot of miles on it. I never had a belt problem after that. The old pump must have...
Okay I completely over thought this. A 3/8" diameter nylon bottle brush with brakleen sprayed on it worked very well. I used three all together. Hardly any brakleen made it into the engine I'm sure. A .40 caliber nylon bore brush would have worked well too.
The way I understand it is that if you use 75w-140 that it must be synthetic and synthetic usually doesn't need any friction modifier added. It should say on the bottle.
Tin foil shield where? I guess the oil pan is only open to atmosphere through the crankcase ventilation. Hopefully that is enough to let brake clean evaporate. I think I'll use a nylon bottle brush because I'm worried a wire one might lose a piece inside.
It's better to let the locktite harden...
I just removed my flexplate in preparation for a ZF5 swap And noticed that three of the bolt holes were leaking oil through. How do you guys go about cleaning these bolt holes so that the loctite will seal next time? Do you spray brake cleaner in there and let it get into the oil pan? Maybe...
I'm pretty sure I bought all of the parts through LMC. They had a diagram with listed part numbers. It was pretty pricey though. When I get home I'll see if I have the receipt with the part number.
I took a piece of 1/4" plate steel and cut it into a long wrench that fits around the water pump bolts. I made another long wrench to fit the fat bolt. Works much better than the cheap tool for rent at the parts store that always wants to slip off.
Has anyone else had reliability problems with the DMF? I just picked up a ZF5 that I am going to swap in. I will be towing about 5000 pounds through the mountains so I want reliability. But I am also willing to pay extra for the quietness of the DMF, as long as I can rely on it.
I appreciate all of the help that everyone has been giving me with my E4OD troubles. But now I have found a super duty with the ZF5 in it and I am seriously thinking about buying it to do a conversion. I had the motor balanced when I built it. Will a shop be able to balance the new flywheel to...
Well, I just had the same problem again. This time while towing my trailer in very cool weather, around 60 degrees. It was fine for the first hour and a half towing on flat ground, After I got into the hills the OD slight started blinking again and the transmission was getting hot. Even on...
