    7.3 powerstroke idi turbo cab

    The cabs are the same. You have to swap all the wiring from your 96 cab to the 94.

    X2 for Racer X Nothing wrong with a little overkill on a converter. :D

    e4od and how much to toughen it up?

    Actually nothing, except the forward clutch. 4R isn't fully splined like the E4. So it's common to replace the 4R part with the early E4 part.

    What you are experiencing is the converter locking and unlocking You will get this often when driving around town.

    e4od and how much to toughen it up?

    If you're not going to do any heavy towing. You will not have to go crazy with a rebuild. To make the E4 more dependable. Get a better tranny cooler. TrueCool or a cooler from a 6.0. Upgrade the accumulator body with a Trans Go Tugger kit, or Sonnax Sure Cure kit. Both kits address the sloppy...

    e4od help needed

    The truck will start because the converter is unlocked. There is no pressure on the clutch. Once running the engine will bog down or stall.

    e4od help needed

    If the converter is locked all the time you have low fluid or a bad converter. PWM is used to dampen the converter clutch lock up. It was a factory fix for a harsh lock up. My opinion it made it to mushy.

    e4od help needed

    All E4OD trannys and early 99 R4100 were non PWM. Late 99 to 03 were PWM. Is the PCM commanding TC lock up. If it is you have a bad wire, solenoid, or stuck valve. If it is not commanding TC lock up. Something is up with the PCM or related sensors.

    Check the connector and the wire harness for damage.

    Transmission issues

    TC lock up doesn't have anything to do with your issue. Because the batteries were disconnected any trouble codes (if any) are lost. You could fiddle with or replace TPS.

    Transmission issues

    It's much easier to scan for codes first. See what it says and go from there.

    Newbie needs help 1990 7.3 idi e4od

    Check the TCM relay under the hood. (Driver side fender) A dim OD OFF light indicates no power to the TCM.

    460 vs IDI E4OD

    This trick only works with the ZF tranny. There isn't enough material to drill on the automatics.

    yet another E4od issue...trans shop stumped!

    Try another TPS. There should be no fluctuations what so ever. Any fluctuations will give a false signal to the TCM causing erratic shifts.

    1990 E-350 will not shift

    Something broke internally. The tranny should have reverse and M2 with no power. If you don't have either, then it's dead.

    What update/upgrades available for 7.3 transmission cooler

    I haven't found anything bad about the Dorman part yet. What ever cooler you use. Be sure to use a stacked plate cooler. Not a tube and fin type cooler. True Cool by Long is a very good part. They are the Ford coolers without the Ford brackets. They come with universal mounting brackets.

    Proposed setup and stock E4OD

    A good local tranny shop could set you up. Try a local guy first. If not you could go Ford reman route. A Ford reman will need the accumulator body tuned up a little. This goes back to a TransGo or Sonnax kit.

    Proposed setup and stock E4OD

    90 model year. I would replace the pump to start with. Early units have the E9 pump. This is ok for a stock tranny. 95 and up use a F5 pump. The F5 will handle higher clutch pressures when you do a shift kit. Toss the stock torque converter. The converter is the weak link. This sucker should...

    Give me a damn Christmas starter recommendation.

    Yes. I had one here for the longest time. It made a great wheel chock.LOL

    Help with E4OD shift issues and FIPL replacement

    You have assumed correctly. The TCM is getting a faulty signal from the TPS (FIPL) or VSS. Another cause for your problem is a failing Transmission Range Sensor. (MLPS) Something else to look at.

    What update/upgrades available for 7.3 transmission cooler

    You have this backwards. First the radiator never heats the tranny fluid. It cools the fluid.even in extreme cold the tranny will heat up faster than the radiator. Remember O/W coolers are the most efficient type of cooler. This is why it is a primary cooler and never should be bypassed. Now...
