    E4OD issue continued

    My fipl is new, I'm sorry I didn't mention that, I will re adjust to 1.1v and check the wot volts, when I first installed my new fipl at 1.2v it was nearly undrivable, it shifted way too high. I think what I might do is grab my injection pump/fipl from my old engine and check the voltage, since...

    E4OD issue continued

    I ended up adding 1/4 of a quart or about 220 mL, which seemed to help, but after a short drive I saw on the dipstick a 2 bubbles on the top of where the fluid was on the dipstick, did I add too much to cause frothing? It wasn't shifting as hard. Does anyone have a part number for turbo idi...

    E4OD issue continued

    Tach works good but looks to be original, vss I replaced a few weeks back with a cheap non motorcraft part partially because it was saturday but appears to flop around at 65 mph or higher ( I drive around 60 because of this). The fluid level could be a tiny bit low due to my dipstick tube is...

    E4OD issue continued

    So I have been trying to figure out my hard shift issue on my E4od. My fipl is set to .85(which visually looks the same as my original fipl on my injection pump) I replaced the transmission fluid and filter in the spring and had no issues before or after that, I started having issues when I...

    Oil in Coolant, need advice!

    The sludge could be from the previous owner not doing a good coolant flush after the oil cooler was replaced and the left over oil that got into the cooling system made its way to the top of the radiator. And or they mixed different coolant brands and that can look like sludge if there is oil...

    Fluid specs?

    If you can find caterpillar extended life coolant get that it's good for 300,000 miles and it already has sca in it and your near a napa warehouse grab a coolant filter kit(napa# 4019) if don't already have one.

    Sludge on Lift pump.

    Any glow plug brand besides beru/motorcraft and accurate diesel glow plugs have been known to at some point to swell, get stuck or break off into the head and it's nearly impossible to remove them without pulling the heads. I would definitely pull all the glow plugs because one autolite is...

    Sludge on Lift pump.

    Yes if you have more than one glow plug out the wait to start light will go out fastd, a clicking glow relay is telling you there is a fault in the system somewhere. I would suggest taking out one glow plug and checking the brand on it, unless the previous owner said he replaced them with...

    Sludge on Lift pump.

    10-12 second wait to start light sounds normal to me, you may have a bad glow plug since it does click/ or a bad connector at the glow plug. What psi does your e-pump run at.

    Sludge on Lift pump.

    Do you hear a clicking sound/voltmeter on the dash going back and forth, along with a short wait to start light.

    hollow point injectors

    The stage one injectors, I think justin modified them for higher pop pressure(2500 psi is what I heard) than a regular reman injectors, but don't quote me on that.

    hollow point injectors

    Justin at R&D idi performance said on Facebook that hollow point injectors were coming soon but I haven't heard anything else about them.

    7.3 idi starting problem

    this is the proper way to set timing when you have the injection pump and the housing as one unit. The the glow plugs should clearly say beru if not, go out and buy a set of 8 beru/Motorcraft glow plugs, because other brands will swell and get stuck or break a glow plug tip off and then you...

    My wait to start light does not stay on very long

    While your there doing the glow plugs check each connector for continuity, on both my original engine and my replacement engine I had issues with the original glow plug connectors.

    7.3 idi starting problem

    Make sure your only using a electric fuel pump or a mechanical fuel pump, using both will cause the mechanical fuel pump to leak fuel into the crank case, and when you swapped the injection pumps did you remove the injection pump gear housing and reinstall it, because I have heard that these...

    My 6.0 psd is building over 16 psi since my egr delete. Was not before. Please help

    I have no experience with 6.0 liter but in my dealings with my 7.3 idi, I would put the garden hose and try to flush out anything that could compromise the oil cooler or egr cooler in those engines and then do a final flush with like 15 gallons of steam distilled water, I'm not sure if that's...

    Big coolant loss

    ^^what he said, I was under my crew cab recently, dealing with the leaky steering box and I notice some dried red coolant coming from the thermostat area, I originally thought the same thing a head gasket leak on my engine I just swapped in, but nope just the coolant sensor next to the...

    airtex

    I personally would install a facet duralift pump(electric) that way it eliminates the possibility of fuel getting into the crankcase via mechanical lift pump, If you can afford to buy one they run $90-130 depending on where you go. They're great, probably the best option for electric fuel. There...

    airtex

    The airtex pumps have been known for leaking prematurely and getting fuel into the engine oil. I agree with tbrumm, not everyone is an expert and for me there is no such thing as a stupid question.

    Got her running, Now a smoke issue

    I would check the fuel filter or at least drain a little bit of fuel from the water fuel separater to see what the fuel looks like. Also what kind of smoke are you seeing.
