    Sits one week, no power IP and GPC

    Good evening everyone. Went to hop in the 90 F350 (7.3 E4OD ) this evening, and no engagement of the glow plug controller, also no power to the injection pump. Everything was fine last week and now it just sits there completely dumb. Everything else works, and I mean absolutely everything else...

    90 F350 frame up project

    Hello everyone. A simple transmission problem three months ago turned into this, not quite sure how that happened but when it is all said and done, it will definitely be worth it. Just wanted to share some pics. Went right down to the frame, had to replace the rear cab crossmember. Everything...

    E4OD flexible dipstick tube opinions..

    Hello everyone. O93 ATS turbo. I modified the factory dipstick tube when the cab was off and I thought everything was good, but unfortunately there was still not enough room to run the way I wanted to so I purchased this flexible dipstick tube. If you snake it down behind the passenger side...

    What is this seal on E4OD input shaft?

    So tonight I was about to hook my trans back up to the engine. I filled the converter and when I was about to install it something caught my eye that just did not look right. When I put the light on it, I found this split seal has a rolled up, smash feature on it. I’m quite sure that’s not good...

    Did I get played by a bad MLPS?

    Hello everyone. Backstory, my 1990 F350 7.3 with an E4OD had a free wheeling and neutral out problem. Always hooked up in reverse and with the lever in 2 and 1. If you search the last thread, I made probably over a month ago you will find a more detailed description. Fast-forward, two...

    Borg Warner 1356 Vehicle Speed Sensor

    Hello everyone. I pulled the cab off of my 1990 F350 pick up today. Seeing as how it was determined that I have to remove the transmission, I figured instead of dealing with all that nonsense underneath I might as well just do my cab swap since I have the excavator there anyway, and then work on...

    My first E4OD…what is the issue?

    Hello everyone. 1990 F350 7.3 with a E4OD. This is my first automatic, I’ve always had ZF5’s. I’ve gone down lots of rabbit holes reading tech articles and other threads and unfortunately I just feel I have to make my own thread to try to get guidance. 1. Here goes. With the selector in DRIVE...

    Cab swap project pregaming…

    Hello everyone. A few months ago I picked up a 1990 F350 with a spare cab that must have come from down south because it is absolutely flawless immaculate. The truck is a 7.3 with a E40D four-wheel-drive. The cab is not terrible, but it did sit leaning to the side for over 20 years in a farmers...

    Brake lines cab and chassis vs pickup…

    Hello everyone. On my 1989 F350 cab and chassis, I need to replace the brake lines upfront, and I have been looking into stainless steel kits, but I cannot find a straight answer on whether or not the cabin in chassis was in a world of its own versus a pick up frame. On my 1990 F350 pick up...

    Compression numbers

    Hello everyone. After almost a year I am still trying to hunt down this partial miss. I thought it was a lazy lifter, so I replaced all 16. Also checked all the push rods, nothing bent. Most recently I did a compression test, and here you will find the numbers. The injectors are only two years...

    XL to XLT Lariat cab swap!

    Hello all! First and foremost I apologize if this thread is in the wrong place. My 89 F350 ( 6.9, zf5, BW1356) cab is a plain Jane XL, with manual windows and door locks, cruise control and AC. It’s heading for inner and outer rockers, cab corners, and some floor patches. The driver floor is the...

    Can’t find miss, please help!

    Hello all. I’m about to rip my hair out. My 6.9 idi… Ive been dealing with this intermittent slight miss that has varied in intensity since January of this year. Right before this began, I installed a new 100cc injection pump from a very reputable shop who shall remain nameless, I don’t want to...

    Lazy lifter & partial miss

    Hello everyone! After years of slow progress I finally completed my 6.9 and have it installed in my 89 F350 cab and chassis dump truck. ARP studs, injectors, cam, 910 springs, Bull Moose, ATS 093 with wicked wheel 2 and the big exhaust housing with the 3” slip fit I installed a quick connect...

    Big radiator in place of small?

    Hello all. I did something very stupid tonight. After 3 years, I lit up the 6.9 for the first time. Unfortunately I forgot to tighten the fan and it came sailing off and took out my brand new radiator. Spectra CU1165. Things are not good financially right now and I can’t afford to replace it...

    Someone had their hands here?

    Hello all. Dropped the zf5 tonight in preparation of the 6.9 swap (yes the one I’ve been doing for 3 1/2 years now) and I’m a little surprised by what I found. The throw out bearing is DONE, as I knew by the noise when the clutch was depressed. The input shaft however, looks in very nice shape...

    Engine main wiring harness connector

    Hello all. It appears as if the glow plug wires once melted at the main junction between the truck and the engine and I had to destroy it to get it apart for the engine swap. Thoughts? Do the individual wires come out of this connector to easily swap to another connector? Are these connectors...

    Glow plug too close to turbo?

    I’m using the 6.0 Powerstroke wiring harness and running the 093 factory turbo setup. I don’t like how close #7 GP is to the up pipe, its really close in my opinion. Will header wrap keep this cool enough, or should I just cut off the 6.0 plug end and replace it with a much lower profile factory...

    89 F350 cab and chassis fuel tank

    Hello all. The side mount fuel tank on my 89f350 cab and chassis is leaking under the support straps and is shot. I cannot find it anywhere. Has anyone run into this problem and found a supplier or a solution to this? The tank is skinnier than the “pick up” version and all I keep hearing is...

    Proposed setup and stock E4OD

    Ok everyone as the title states I'm wondering about the general consensus of the lifespan of a stock E4OD behind my 6.9 I'm building and a combined weight of 18'400lbs. Never owned/operated a E4OD and I know nothing about them. Here's what's up... 6.9: head studs, stage 1 R&D cam and injectors...

    Injection pump swap questions

    I want to swap the injection pump from that new dump truck I bought with the rotted frame to my good 89 f350 dump. 1. The good pump is on a automatic truck and I believe it's called a FIPL on the side of it. Any reason that can't just sit on engine with a manual behind it? 2. The good pump...

    First time welding cast iron

    Hello all. A few pics of my first rodeo with cast iron. It's the 093 ATS downpipe slip joint housing, the bigger 3" version. I positively loathe the slip joint idea I cannot believe that anyone thought this was a good idea. Stopped at a welding shop and told them I wanted to melt mild steel and...

    Please educate me on V Bands

    I want to install a v-band clamp connection on the 3" downpipe for my 093 ATS turbo. I don't know what to order. The only ones I have played with were on a dt466 and a 4 cylinder john deere diesel. Both of those had 2 flanges that touched each other then you put the v clamp around them and...

    Maxed stock pump longevity?

    Hello everyone. I can't keep draggin my feet on buying a injection pump but my turbo 6.9 is not going to be done anytime soon. If I purchase a new stock pump from CDI to use on my NA 7.3, can I expect a long happy life if I turn it all the way up when the turbo engine is done? I didn't want to...

    Displacement vs Turbo charging

    Hello all. I suppose I could also state this thread as "Upgrade or setback" My international 4700 with a DT466E and 6 speed manual has a 25,500 GVWR. It's a little light for what I would like to have (or should have bought). I just found a Freightliner FL70 with a 33,000 GVWR with a 98 5.9...
