    2025 Oilburners IDI Rally!

    Well crap I completely missed this and right in my backyard too because I had been stupid busy due to my now previous job (Retired July 25th). Glad to see another event take place. Sorry I missed everyone.

    1995 OBS Powerstroke need scanner that works.

    Update. Fixed left bank injector wires. Now running on left bank, not right. Didn't touch right bank injector wiring. Something is screwey. Checked for grounds at harness plugs and all grounds are good. Hmm. Sure would be nice to have a scanner for this right about now.............. Also...

    1995 OBS Powerstroke need scanner that works.

    Okay so yesterday I picked up a 1995 F350 dump truck with the 7.3. Right hand cylinder bank will fire left will not. Looks like a squirrel got in there and ate some wiring on the injector harness. So most likely once I fix that it'll run on all 8. But that got me thinking about what I can scan...

    Tach issue help

    Slow reply, was in Mexico all last week. I would need to rebuild my E4OD if I were going the controller direction. I do have a NOS set of shift solenoids on the shelf already. I may go that route. But another roughly $800 on top of that, rather go the manual swap route.

    Tach issue help

    Okay final note to this saga. I swapped out the TCM for a good used one. Problem solved. Works as expected.

    Tach issue help

    Unfortunately they do not anymore. Showed not available for pickup, not available for delivery. They may get them back in stock at some point but currently nothing out there.

    Tach issue help

    Update. When going over the TCM before soldering I noticed there is a film capacitor, number on it is u33M63, that has let the smoke out. In researching that part number I couldn't find anything that matched as far as form and size. So I just ordered another TCM from ebay. Seems there are no...

    Tach issue help

    $1500 was the whole truck. Hasn't run in 8 years. Couldn't get an assessment of running condition, trans condition, brakes etc. So parts truck value only. Either way, you don't change the deal in the 11th hour. Not cool. All of a sudden you have someone interested and now you think you need...

    Tach issue help

    So I just verified I have AC voltage at the sensor terminals(.6V at fast idle, .5V at normal idle) in the plug to the TCM while the truck is running. Verified relay was working and in addition to pin 1, which always has 12v, with the ignition on I have 12v power at pins 19, 37, 52, 53, 55 and...

    Tach issue help

    Well at this point, I am 98% sure it is the TCM. One more test tomorrow and I'll have the answer. I'll reflow the solder joints first before writing it off, but if that doesn't work, replacement will be required. Sucks because I have been trying for years to find a donor for a manual swap. Do...

    Tach issue help

    Okay to cut to the chase. I have used 2 different tach sensors, my old one and a brand new one, and get the same results. Description of the problem, when cold, my tach does not work. The transmission (E4OD) stays in "what the hell" mode and I have to manually shift it down to 1st every time I...

    FIPL Smokeshow

    I should update this as I just logged on today and saw there were some Alerts related to it. The 1 week old FIPL that I was having issues with went bad the day I left SLC. I had to get all the way to Missouri before I found another. That one is still hanging in there a year later. Might have...

    Howdy Y'all. Been a minute. This followed me home.

    Well I got stupid busy with the new job and have been on a hiatus. Hope everyone is still burning oil. Speaking of burning oil, this followed me home. Cheap and Smokey. There is a good chance it was the cheapest of it's kind. I think the issue is "Wet Stacking" but am not sure how much...

    Keep cracking heads

    At that boost level, you need an intercooler. Very hot air entering the combustion chamber. I don't know specifically that is contributing to you problem, but just in general practice it'll give you better overall performance.

    Cup holders

    It saddens me to see the coin holders being neglected. But that gauge fits just perfectly. Way to double dip.

    Got to do a rear brake job.... any advice?

    Don't know about the dually but single wheel yes. I would think it'd be the same.

    Yeah me too. It was the creepiest one I could find. Seemed fitting.

    Cup holders

    In case you're in need of a portable cup holder. Seems quality.

    I for one appreciate you taking one for the team. You are a true hero and a credit to cupholder progress the world over.

    I see a dolphin breaching the water in front of a crescent moon with an invisible cupholder lightly caressing it. Surreal.

    Glow plugs

    I understand your wanting to be pro-active. When I got my 93', 16 years ago, it was fairly beat. I was working in Houston and living between Atlanta and Virginia. I had a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 at the time but it was too pretty/luxurious and not strong enough to do the work I needed to do. I also...

    I have a very good friend who now lives in Texas that when we were in Atlanta worked for Chrysler corporate. We're talking 1996-2007. For a while he was the last guy to see your vehicle before a lemon law claim was accepted after every other resource was exhausted. He was near 90% success...
