    Fuel Pump Blues?

    I don't know at this point how well the above worked when the stock filter existed. But it is long gone. I put a Racor filter and the original vacuum switch in front of the supply pump. https://get.google.com/albumarchive/110720715566253280768/album/AF1QipNIIknibTn4_zOAuep3lEWG-0RhDTvfQXM-xvEB

    Fuel Pump Blues?

    Sounds like you gulped air. When one thing happens and an anomaly follows, the first place to look is at the first thing. As the man said, don't run out of fuel. I switched from a gas 460 to a 7.3 IDI in 2005. In the early days I got air in the injection pump three times, and each time...

    E4od controller

    I have been using the earlier model Baumann controller for about a decade on both a 460 and 7.3 in a 9K# 84 E350. Up and down shift points and line pressure are programmable. You have your choice of locking the converter starting in 2, 3, or 4th gear. And you can create two profiles that are...

    School me on e4od

    I have an 84 E350. It started as a 460/C6. I changed to an E4OD, and a dually rear, and then to an 89 IDI and rebuilt diesel trans, with what was advertised as a triple disk billet converter. The weight with seventy gallons of fuel is about 9K#. Some time later we are part way up Baker...

    fuel selector valve delete?

    I have mixed feelings about those. One, I have had them crumble when old. Also, I have gotten a lot of crap in gas and fuel, including black sluge that looked kinda like it might be silicon. But so far nothing has plugged the hose. Rather, it is out of the tank and into a Racor bowl where I...

    I just replace the pump with hose.

    Return line rail

    I also have considered a metal-to-metal connection at the injector, but so far am looking another direction. I have two issues with the fuel return system. One is trying to get O rings that actually fit. Many are just enough too small that they do not apply enough pressure to consistently not...

    i find your lack of smoke, disturbing.

    Regarding smoke. For this discussion, grey is smoke - mostly burned - , and black is soot - just warmed up a bit. I have an 84 E350. I replaced the gas 460 with an 89 IDI - both had/have E4ODs. At 11.5K feet on I70 in CO, it made so much soot that it obscured the big rig behind me, and would...

    fuel selector valve delete?

    What is the issue with the gas sender? I have three tanks with senders that used to hold gas and now hold diesel.

    fuel selector valve delete?

    Yes you can combine the tanks. That is the second multi tank/return line system I have used. I have two E350s. The first has three tanks totaling seventy gallons. It was gas. I had three pumps, each had an internal output check valve. So I ran the pump for whatever tank I wanted to use. I could...

    Did an E4OD unlock between shifts?

    In a stock vehicle, did an E4OD behind an IDI, unlock between shifts?

    Disc brake dually

    Allow me to clutter the discussion a bit. The challenge with getting advice from other private users is that everyone's sample size is small, as is mine. I have two relevant vehicles. One is a 2001 E350, cutaway, 7.3 PSD, dually, 11700 pounds, 4w disk. I have not yet gotten the parking brake...
