    E40D One wire to starter relay/solonoid fixed shifting issue but now is hard starting

    Are you sure you reconnected all the other terminals onto that large terminal on the starter relay, when you moved that one? Check for voltage at the large terminals on the GPR. One terminal should always be hot, and the other should be hot when the controller/relay are energized.

    E40D One wire to starter relay/solonoid fixed shifting issue but now is hard starting

    What solenoid did you replace? What wire did you move?

    86 6.9 issue (stumped)

    That "wire" is most likely a fusible link, which burned. Replacing a fusbile link with a straight wire puts you at risk of a fire.

    86 6.9 issue (stumped)

    Try jumping power to the FSS (be ready to pull the wire to shut it off). If that works, it's in the wiring, ignition switch, fuse link, etc.

    Good Deal? 1986 e350 6.9l 4x4

    Hmm, checkout what I found on a banner on the City of Oxnard's web site:

    Show Off Your Interior Consoles!

    That ^^^^ is cool, nice and generic. Any 411 on the install? I wonder if the gauge mount could be fabbed to angle the gauge faces toward the driver.

    Good Deal? 1986 e350 6.9l 4x4

    Check the punctuation: Says NOTHING about engine temperature. The most "common problem" with diesel vans is that there's a bigeffin' diesel engine stuffed into a VERY small space, and nearly in your crotch. That is, what are mundane repairs on a truck can become yoga exercises with a van. Just...

    Second idi within a year. Got me a donor vehicle...

    ZF5 would be _simpler_, fewer points of failure, more direct / "stock-like" driveline. If you really _need_ the gear splits, then the GVOD would be the choice. 'Course, you could... pun intended... split the difference and put the GVOD behind a ZF5 (well, with the TC in between). Hmm, deep...

    Glow Plug Relay

    ^^^^ That means a Western Plow 56131K should fit and work. Cheaper than the Stancor, and built for continuous duty and high current flow.

    Mishimoto Radiator

    ^^^^ Thus the question about the TRUCK that it's going into.

    Lots of blue smoke

    Is it just me, or does that look more like incomplete fuel burn (white) than burning lube oil (blue)? One way to help distinguish - step out there while it's smokin', as near the smoke as you dare, and if it burns your eyes, it's unburned/underburned fuel.

    Mishimoto Radiator

    What year truck is it going into? If it's a '95, is there a cap on the radiator? If so, or if it's a '94.5, that radiator won't work.

    1984 7.3 powerstroke build

    Hmmm, I thought the stud / hole pattern was different between the two generations of window. I would just go with whichever will get your, er, observer to stop scowling at it... ;) Whichever you choose, take this opportunity to put some loctite on the stud threads. Those nuts are torqued to...

    86 no start no power to anything

    Fusible links are a prime suspect. Other possibility is main power from the battery + to the starter relay junction. SOME '83-'86 trucks are wired "backward" compared to later ones, whereby the main + power goes from the battery + to the GP relay and then splits over to the starter relay. In any...

    Centurion Overhead Console

    Single cab has two steel walls. Supercab has a brace across the middle, aprx. where the dome light is. No idea about the crew cab. Does anyone have a better pic of that $100 console, or a link to one?

    Transmission Service

    Torque converters are only found on automatic transmissions. ZF REQUIRES synthetic ATF in this transmission when used behind a diesel engine.

    1984 7.3 powerstroke build

    I don't know what's more amazing, the swap or the fact that you're doing it outdoors in WI in early March. Gotta be a southwest truck, eh? They almost never sold trucks that color up here.

    ZF specifies SYNTHETIC ATF in their ZF5s behind diesels.

    Obs parking brake pedal not returning

    Are you sure the rear cables are returning when you pull up on the pedal? IIRC the return action of the pedal itself is very weak, it really depends on the return springs of the shoes pulling on the cables. So if both cables are seized, or the front cable is, I could see it affecting the pedal...

    Clutch Master Cylinder Broke Through Firewall

    There isn't one. There shouldn't need to be one. OBS cab is considerably stiffer than either predecessor; are you actually able to see/measure firewall flex while the clutch pedal is being operated?

    OBD1 not pulling codes

    Don't bother with that. The Check Engine light has to be purely mechanically driven; as said, it's probably tied to switches for oil pressure and engine temp. There is no EEC-anything. Also as said, that connector is only for transmission codes. Your best bet is to get the factory service...
