    AAUUUUGGGHHH

    This might help..., I had the same problem down here in Georgia when we had the terrible floads last year. After checking everything what I ended up doing is placing a shim behind the pulley of the tensioner to move it roughly 1/8" (I noticed that the belt was riding even witht the edge of the...

    wiper motor or switch?

    Do they all used that relay? Mine is a '94, is sometimes have to move the switch from 1 momentary position to the next to get to wipe. I've looked for a relay near the brake pedal, but I think that on my truck the only relay I found is on the passenger side kick panel. Any input would be great...

    Review: pensacola diesel

    Got my BB's from Typ4, he got them out to me very quickly. Personally, I rather support someone who actively participates in this forum. You get what you pay for, sometimes paying less in $ is not always the best value.

    Engine guy thinking of heading into transmission

    I've looked into the tugger kits and there seems to be an HD2 kit not completely sure of the difference. Sounds like you've played with them, can you enlighten me a bit on the shift kits? I am in need of towing ability but not looking to build something to handle hundreds of HP and torque. For...

    Engine guy thinking of heading into transmission

    Looking to find out how many of you out there who are comfortable with working on the internals of engine have attempted to rebuilt an Auto transmission (E40D) with the help of an ATSG manual. I know there are great Trans builders out there but right now I cannot afford their services. My...

    KentMoore part two

    kool55- You want to area of the dampner which you can see through the port which you insert the magnetic probe be clean and "Free" of paint not just the groove. Therefore you create a clean band on the dampner (about 1/2" wide) in the area closest to the engine. I had a similar problem when I...

    IP timing meter Alltest 3900

    Help with timing meter (Alltest 3900) Wondering if anyone out there uses a Timing meter similar to the one below. (It's a luminosity meter.) I recently bought this meter and did not get any instructions. From my recent searches on the forum it seems that most meters should be set to 20 Deg...

    E40D 2WD Trans dipstick length

    Trackspeeder - My dipstick doesn't say anything on it at the top part is simply a rod with a small loop at the end. Of course there used to be a plastic coating on it but that's gone. What I am left with is thin wire with a plug with an O-ring which is able to slide up and down the rod. At the...

    E40D 2WD Trans dipstick length

    Went out today to reset the length of my Trans. dipstick and found that my trans gauge is about 40" longs. Sliding the dipstick's trans tube cap down to 25.5" would leave me with over 12" extending beyond the dipstick tube. My trans gauge is "Yellow" not "White" as those of you who took the time...

    E40D 2WD Trans dipstick length

    Thanks for the responses. Oh, please don't say rain! I am in Ga where a school within 1/2 mile of me was completely under water. Getting better though. My truck is a 94 IDI Turbo 2WD. Once again thanks. Tomorrow I can try to properly position my dipstick and confirm my Trans. oil level.

    E40D 2WD Trans dipstick length

    Please... Anyone? I can't gauge my Trans fluid and tell if I am underfilled or overfilled as the metal shaft/rod slides up and down the yellow fill cap mine doesn't have a round plastic top as I imagine it should!
