    I am the friend that's helping the OP artichoke, pretty familiar with this amazing forum, and idi/diesel wrenching. I'm trying to guide Artichoke, to be an independent psd mechanic, due to not finding good mechanics locally, and being expensive. With this forum anyone can do it. The truck was...

    E4od US shift quick 4 stand alone transmission controller available

    Not diesel at all it's gas. I'm definitely in the wrong forum. Haha. I found that this is the best forum regardless of which fuel is being used. I also have a 7.3 Econoline.

    I do not have a gear in the tail shaft. I sent an email to the us shift folks...they have a way to get the signal for the VSS from the abs sensor in the differential. So, I may be ok. I'm in contact and will be ordering a quickshift4 this afternoon. Thanks for the reply.

    I've seeing some of your postings about standalone controllers and Econoline vans. You seem like the go-to guy. Looking for some input. (98 Econoline van, 5.4, e4od. I installed the wrong transmission. Vss issues.)

    thanks for the quick reply. fusible links seem ok, i'm getting power to the gpr. I may have the power relay wiring wrong. been looking at diagram's. when i replaced the power relay I went from 3 terminals to 4 terminals. I think I need to have a dedicated ground from one of the smaller terminals?
