    Fuel filter microns school me pls

    I have these both Ford and RACOR branded. I assume they made them for Ford. The canisters for this are available in two micron. I have had them on my IDI and PSD for several years. I just put one my 65 Mustang when I installed EFI. The complete assembly is rather pricey but the canisters...

    Aftermarket gauge ideas. 6.9 & 7.3

    This one is kinda neat. When you first turn on the key it gives you a voltage check. Then after about a minute it switches to a pressure gauge. And lest you get confused there is a small red LED that is on when it is a volt meter. This is sold as an oil pressure gauge but I am using it for...

    TC, flex plate, transmission?

    Have you dropped the trans pan? Does it have a magnet? Is the magnet full of steel parts?

    TC, flex plate, transmission?

    I built the E4OD that is in my 84 E350. I did it "by the book". I spent three days assembling the transmission, and two days on the valve body kit. I built the trans based on an update book. Had I started another the next day I probably could have finished it in one day. And the tenth ten...

    Timed Switches... Send me to school

    No, it is kinda like a check valve; instant turn on and slow turn off. The cap is charged thru the diode and bleeds off thru the resistor. And it is slightly more involved than I said. I did this years ago and kinda forgot. There is a small transistor, diode, resistor and cap that form the...

    Traded my IDI for powerstroke

    When did the change occur? Never mind. You later said 99.

    Timed Switches... Send me to school

    My turbo is remote mounted on the frame. I have a scavenge pump to return the oil to the engine. I made a turn off delay for it. Turn on "ignition", the pump starts. Turn off, and the pump stops a minute later. The pump is controlled by a power transistor. The delay circuit is just a...

    Traded my IDI for powerstroke

    Scan thru here. https://goo.gl/photos/hQSWmXVQ6HsMVWzh6 There are captions. Seriously consider regulated return fuel supply. It gets rid of the dead head rails. I did the whole thing for less than fifty dollars. And I just replaced the mechanical pressure gauge that came with the regulator...

    LED Bulbs

    I have a collection of flashers I have not had time to check. Maybe next week. I did check one, an adjustable. It worked as the emergency flasher but not in the turn signal circuit. So BBW. However, when I put LEDs in my 2001 E350, the flash frequency approximately doubled. It is...

    Limp mode e4od

    Here is a little info that may be of interest to someone. I have an 84 E350 that came with a 460/C6. I replaced the C6 with an E4OD, and the Dana 70 3.07 with a Dana 70 3.5 dually. I later replaced the 460 with an 89 IDI, a diesel E4OD, and later a 94 turbo IDI. I built the current E4OD. I...

    Looking for fusible links!!!!

    I have replaced all my fusible links with these. And added a few. They are available from under fifty Amps to 300. And they make good disconnects...

    LED Bulbs

    For some time now I have been putting LEDs in everything; dash, running, brake, four inch round truck, and sealed, multi-element head lights, both seven inch round and 5x7. Look at the last pic in this album; https://goo.gl/photos/LJNV4esgmYmSzKdL8 And eight from the bottom in this album...

    Voltage regulator?

    When you get the issues settled I suggest a 3G alternator. It is a bolt on replacement. You can connect it as sorta one wire, or with two wires you can have a light.

    Electronic fuel pump 7.3 IDI

    The day after my last post I remembered, most everyone here still has the original filter that IH put there. I got rid of mine on both the IDI and PSD so long ago I kinda forget it was ever there. IH put that filter on the engine for their benefit not ours. As soon as the engine is assembled...

    Electric fuel pump

    It used to be an airport/ hotel bus. It had two complete AC systems. That was the condenser for the rear seating area. That system was inop when I got it. The condenser is now the trans cooler. It is the only cooler. Fluid does not go thru the engine radiator. There is a standard Ford oil...

    Electronic fuel pump 7.3 IDI

    As I said I sometimes run a second filter to catch broken pump parts. In the case of the pump I have on the IDI that is not an issue; no plastic. But why would you want to put whatever crap you pick up into the pump? I have twice - once gas and once diesel - gotten sludge so bad it seriously...

    Electronic fuel pump 7.3 IDI

    I always put the filter before the pump. Get rid of the mechanical. Pulsating pumps have a check valve built in. Rotating pumps don't need a check valve either. I currently have six vehicles set up that way. I run a two micron filter before the pump, and if it is fuel injected I put a...

    Why 65psi max for dually rims?

    I have had several tires that looked like this by the time I got the vehicle stopped.

    Electronic fuel pump 7.3 IDI

    My van never had a mechanical pump. This has been my supply pump since the engine was a 460. It has a built in check valve. When the engine was gas carbureted I had three of these in parallel. https://photos.app.goo.gl/wKxsqz5DrtQoq4J76

    Torque Converter not locking up

    I put LEDs in the cab connected to the four solenoids. So I know what the controller is trying to do. That separates the system between transmission and control system.

    Best oil

    Trying to save the most money possible on engine oil is false economics. As part of the total cost of ownership, oil is pocket lint. And was someone actually serious about using chain bar oil? Regarding oil additives. For two years at SEMA I questioned every oil guy I could regarding oil for...

    Best oil

    I have run 5w-40 Rotela T6 synthetic in my 7.3 IDI and 7.3 PSD for several years. They like it fine. And after bugging every oil guy I could at SEMA regarding oil for flat lifter cams I now run it in everything. But don't run it with cats.

    Why 65psi max for dually rims?

    I have a mix of early five hole and later eight hole wheels. And yes, the five hole say 65#. I do not see any structural difference. Nor can I determine a relationship between tire pressure and wheel failure. Very low pressure might cause an issue. But this wheel held up well. My E350 van...
