    Cruz Control

    Again, did it ever work? An anti-lock fault will set a brake fault and that will deactivate cruise control. There are dash anti-lock and brake lights, do they work? The only obvious symptom of an anti-lock fault is the cruise control. Get Autoenginuity.

    Head gasket parts list

    I am replacing an 89 with a 93 turbo. I don't see any difference in the gaskets. So, $62 for just a rear seal, or $50 for a complete lower set. What was the question again?

    Diesel to gas 460 swap

    And then there is Cal. I am in a relative low price area. Diesel is now $3.09 at a mini mart and 3.80 at a major. We just added $0.20 and it is going to go up again soon.

    Help with electric fuel pump

    The first few pics in this album are the pumps I have used. The Carter style rotary is my current choice. The best place for the pump is close to the tank and below it. And use a relay. https://goo.gl/photos/LJNV4esgmYmSzKdL8

    Diesel to gas 460 swap

    I went the other way; 460 to IDI. If you have a complete donor it should not be a big deal. On mine it seemed that the motor mounts were designed for the IDI and they added adapters to mount the 460. Mine came with an in-tank fuel pump which was eating itself, so I had already put a pump on...

    Head gasket parts list

    I recently bought a reman 93 turbo IDI. It was complete, but I pulled the rotating assembly to get it balanced. And I discovered a part that is obvious, but I had never encountered or thought of; head shims. You cannot just take ten mil of the deck of a diesel and call it done. You need the...

    Engine control weirdness.

    A couple years ago, while on the road, I had one passenger side injector go intermittent then open because of the underside connector. The schematic shows a two piece connector, I could see a connector on the outside, spent time on that not knowing about the inside connector. A Ford dealer...

    Engine control weirdness.

    The wiring in the PCM area is very busy. But I will have a look. It will have to wait till after SEMA next week.

    Engine control weirdness.

    Is a short to ground on one injector line going to be fixed by stopping and restarting the engine, twice?

    Engine control weirdness.

    Reread the original post. It faulted, shutting off and restarting made the engine OK, but it would not move forward. I swapped the PCM, is was OK, for a while. It faulted again, shutting off and restarting made the engine OK, and it would move forward. It seemed OK but I swapped the IDM...

    Engine control weirdness.

    I agree. I am looking for the "IT" that did the shutting.

    Engine control weirdness.

    I am not looking at codes. The fault log is text. And the clear button is on the same page, so I would always see what I was clearing. As for UVCH, been there. That is why a couple years ago I reworked that area including safety wiring the under cover connector.

    Official test results of fuel inlet presure/timing

    So, is fuel pressure induced timing change a good thing? I can add another data point to this subject. And that is the observed performance difference between 5-7 pounds and zero. My supply pump is on the frame at about the mid point of the vehicle. Thru a switch, I have the choice of the...

    Engine control weirdness.

    2001 E350 cutaway Last weekend we went to the Hot Rod Reunion. It takes place mostly at Fomosa drag strip, but the Friday evening event is in Bakersfield. Bakersfield is about 150 miles from home. Friday evening, we were in Bakersfield, had made a few stops, and were heading for the evening...

    94 idi turbo flexplate- help

    It seems IDI diesels are outliving their flexplates. It is waste to park a otherwise functioning truck because of a lack of a flexplate. I have been running an 89 with the flywheel/flexplate combo. That flexplate died. I am replacing the 89 with a 93 IDI turbo. That means I need the...

    Get me one real sample and tell me how many you want. And one at a time is OK as long as I have a sample.

    94 idi turbo flexplate- help

    How about getting it cloned so everyone can have one?

    94 idi turbo flexplate- help

    If you do it can be cloned. And it can be cloned onto a billet plate rather than the stock sheet metal plate. There is an ongoing demand because the engines are outliving their flex plates.

    94 idi turbo flexplate- help

    The 1993 non turbo flex plates are so common that Amazon has them for about $70. But they are balanced different than the turbo flex plates. If anyone has a turbo flex plate, the balance data can be copied onto a non turbo flex plate. I have a fresh 93 turbo engine to replace my 89 engine. I...

    can i add a third or even forth battery ?

    The last time I had a hot start problem it was a warn starter armature support bushing. The warn bushing allowed the armature to move slightly, and being hot allowed it move a bit more, which let it touch where it shouldn't.

    Give me a list of questions. I'll provide answers, and that will be the write-up.

    can i add a third or even forth battery ?

    My van spends a lot of time running accessories without the engine running. So I added four batteries with a 200A relay in between. The two original batteries run only the engine. Accessories, including head lights run off the secondary batteries. The secondary batteries can be run dead and...

    E4OD guidance needed

    And your cruise RPM will go up about 50%; 30% for no OD and 20% for no converter lock. I just got an AODe from these guys. I have not installed it but they sound like they know what they are doing. http://www.transdepot.net/FORD-DIESEL-TRANSMISSIONS_c_282.html But I have a functioning diesel...

    Oil in valley pan

    Don't just throw parts at it. Clean the engine thoroughly, cover it in white flour, and run it until it shows you where the leaks are. And, just this last summer I discovered grey silicon is what is called for where oil is concerned.
