    Rotella oil deal

    I've been running the Rotella T6 5w-40 in all my IDIs for years now. So far so good.

    e4od, VSS and US Shift intermittent issue

    Nah, probably not the right connector since the light is still on. It surely looks like the sketch of the right connector in the EVTM, though.

    e4od, VSS and US Shift intermittent issue

    On FTE someone suggested that the RABS module might have a problem and be muting the signal. I unplugged this connector and drove around for half an hour without it recurring. This looks like it might be the RABS connector, but the ABS light on the dash didn't go out. It makes sense that the...

    e4od, VSS and US Shift intermittent issue

    The cruise control page tells us that the PSOM converts the signal from the VSS into a standard 8,000 pulse/mile signal.

    e4od, VSS and US Shift intermittent issue

    Yes, US Shift has been helpful, but I didn't understand what the PSOM was. I had completely misinterpreted the info in the EVTM. This is the e4od page of the EVTM which shows the PSOM: What it's actually telling us is what Snicklas and Nero told us: PSOM is the Programmable Speedometer...

    Yeah, I remember that thread. I put the list of fuel lines in there because someone is going to search and find this thread and now it won't be entirely useless, if he's looking for info on fuel lines.

    e4od, VSS and US Shift intermittent issue

    So, the gray and black wire running into the back of the instrument cluster is carrying a signal _from_ the speedometer/PSOM to the PCM? The palm isn't separate from the speedometer?

    e4od, VSS and US Shift intermittent issue

    This evening I'll post a page from the EVTM that covers this. From memory it says the PSOM is between VSS and speedo, which doesn't match a lot of the info out there. That mismatch is a big part of my confusion.

    To swap or not to swap?

    We're getting off topic a bit, so I've started a thread for my e4od issues: https://www.oilburners.net/threads/e4od-vss-and-us-shift-intermittent-issue.93576/

    e4od, VSS and US Shift intermittent issue

    I recently bought a US Shift controller and installed it in my '94 ambulance. I like the way it shifts, I like the visibility it gives me into the transmission. It hasn't solved the problem that periodically the trans downshifts to 1st and won't upshift. It was doing this occasionally with the...

    Return line setup without original filter

    I think several others here have done what you've done, and I have the parts riding around in the back of the truck to do the same. Also, see Classic Diesel Designs fuel pump and filter kit. https://classicdieseldesigns.com/collections/fuel-delivery/products/cdd-e-fuel-conversion-kit

    A bus...is that on an E350 or E450 chassis? My fuel line list is for a pickup. I guess I should trace out my E350, not sure how it's set up, but pretty sure it's not the same.

    I've had excellent success with rubber hose pushed over the nylon line and hose clamps. I despise the Ford connectors.

    Mary, that first picture looks a lot like a factory fuel line running from tank to selector switch. Here's what a stock '91 should have: 1) From the injector pump in the front center of the engine, there should be a metal line running from the aft end up to the fuel filter, which sticks up...

    I get that the difference between hunched and stooped isn't worth a lot of effort, but what good is the attic? It seems the fiberglass top adds a lot of wind resistance for not much gain.

    I'm 6'4" too. Headroom inside is probably 5'8", so my wife can stand inside, but definitely not me. It wouldn't work to live in, but that's not our plan.

    I got the bed platform roughed out today. It's in two pieces that stack to make a bench or pull out to make room for a queen mattress. Stacked: Pulled out:

    Anyone else seeing broken front shock mounts?

    Bronco graveyard has the kits for $200. Guess I should just get that and the tierod ends, and get'er done.

    Anyone else seeing broken front shock mounts?

    How do I determine whether the king pins are worn out? With ball joints I'm accustomed to jacking up a front wheel then levering up underneath it and seeing vertical movement from worn ball joints. When I do that here, I see no movement, but I'm starting to think there's significant wear. I...

    The big white dog really, really wants a ride. While I had the dash out finding the signal from the PSOM and hooking it up to the shift controller, I replaced the dash bulbs with green LEDs. Some went in backwards so they don't light, and next time the dash comes out, I'll need to rotate them.

    Here's the inside with those bits out: Left rear. The lower sliding doors open into the left rear outside storage. The upper ones are all inside. Left front. It's not insulated behind that cabinet. The area underneath hinges down to expose the circuit board, relays, switches et cetera for the...

    gas cans, do you think this guy is right?

    He can't find his stuff, if Carol were a figment of his imagination she couldn't either...she's gotta be real.

    Aggressive unidentifiable shake.

    Does the vibration impair driving? Sounds as if you're not damaging anything, if you can drive it safely, drive on.
