    E4OD Won't move

    Great news! We put the converter in yesterday, and everything seems fine. I haven't drove it hundreds of miles yet, but I think it's fixed.

    E4OD Won't move

    I just bought this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334406194698

    E4OD Won't move

    Yup, $1000 with the core charge. I used to buy full Jasper rebuilds for $1600.

    E4OD Won't move

    UPDATE! Finally got the trans out since it's been warmer. We pulled the pan and drained the fluid, there wasn't any metal in it. When turning the converter for pulling the flywheel nuts, I could hear something rattle inside it. After getting it out of the trans, I rolled it across the floor, and...

    E4OD Won't move

    So, what happened then? Did you replace the entire trans, or just the converter?

    E4OD Won't move

    When sitting in line at a drive-through, I put it in gear to pull away and it wouldn't move. Forward or reverse. It kinda tried, but the engine just revved, and it barley moved. Someone helped me push it out of line, and while it was rolling down a slight incline, I hit the converter lock-up...

    New engine, No power

    Yes, that's the right place. I bought the turbo engine with a Centurion a few years back. Like you, I had been looking for a long time.

    New engine, No power

    OK, I got my MT480 fixed. It needed a capacitor and some wiring under the tach meter. I've set it at 5 degrees ATDC @ 2000 RPM, using the luminosity probe. The power has come up quite a bit. It still won't tow my small 5th wheel at highway speeds. I thought maybe the fuel pressure was dropping...

    New engine, No power

    Not enough. The timing marks ended up a dimes width toward the passenger side.

    New engine, No power

    OK, bumped the timing a dimes width, and it runs great. It's suprizing that so little adjustment can make a huge difference. Thanks guys!

    New engine, No power

    Thanks, I'll try retarding first. The fuel supply pump is the same.

    I like this method. I know exactly what you're talking about. Will attempt in the morning.

    New engine, No power

    EGT's seem a little higher. Normal driving on the old engine was around 600F, now it's 800F.

    New engine, No power

    I recently built a 7.3, factory turbo engine, and put it in my crew cab. It doesn't have any power, and I can't get it to boost past 8-9 psi. The old engine with the same turbo did 10-12psi, with the original compressor wheel. It has a Wicked Wheel 2, new injection pump/injectors, return line...

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    There wasn't a problem until I put the giant intercooler, and giant condenser in. I think they're blocking a lot of air flow. The problem doesn't appear until the low 90's. I think I'll try to pump grease into the clutch fan, like a read someone did here. That, or make some tabs to keep it...

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    Is there a more efficient radiator that's not junk? I've seen a few mentioned here, but they seem hit or miss.

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    Would it hurt anything to direct couple the fan to the pulley, removing the clutch entirely?

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    The truck was off when it was puking, but I think that was from the old cap. The new one actually holds pressure. I was checking the temp with the truck idling, but it was a few seconds after pulling off the road.

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    It feels pretty tight when it's hot. Would a slipping clutch fan matter at highway speed?

    Intercooled, now having heat issues

    Ok, I added a intercooler from a 99 7.3, and fitted a condenser from Crown Vic to the front of a 92 F350, Turbo-ed 7.3. It was 92 degrees today, and the temp gauge went past the L of the Normal range. It started puking coolant at a store we stopped at, and I added 1 gallon to make it full again...

    My arduino gauge project

    Sorry it's been a while. I got the permanent circuit built, and it seems to work. Still need to add two more data fields, one for pressure, and one for temp. Here is the board I made from Ifrythings drawing. The trans temp field is missing the powered portion because, as he said, the temp sensor...

    My arduino gauge project

    I'm going to make a bracket to carry the spare under the rear tank. It'll hang a little low, but the plan is to drag a 5th wheel long distance with my kids. I WILL have a spare.

    My arduino gauge project

    Are you using the GM oil pressure sensor for the fuel pressure? I'm just looking at the rear tank temp, and gambling the fuel has enough density to keep it's temp through the fuel lines, all the way to the IP. Monitoring fuel pressure is just to make sure it's not restricted. I've ran 100% WMO...

    My arduino gauge project

    No, I don't have the intelligence to add anything original. I do want to add two extra fields. Fuel temp and pressure, diff/coolant/trans temps, and oil pressure, it where I want to end up. The fuel temp thing is for the WMO. We changed the rear tank to the 38 gallon version. That's 10 feet of...

    My arduino gauge project

    I'm building the electronics for the sensors right now. The PCB and terminals came in yesterday. Should be done around the end of the week. The credit for ALL of this belongs to ifrythings. There's no way I could do this on my own.
