    E4OD Behavior

    Hey all. I have been noticing some odd behavior from my E4OD in my 94 F-Superduty. Transmission shifts great smooth but solid all the way up to 4th gear. Heres where the odd behavior starts. If I press the throttle fairly hard, say accelerating on the highway to pass a slow driver, it seems to...

    Fixed headlight knob

    Yeah we dont have inspection in CT either and have a similar law in place, Exhaust must exit behind the cabin of the vehicle. I usually have my exhaust exit mid way down the truck to avoid having to run it over the rear axle. I have a friend who was pulled over because his exhaust ended a few...

    Fixed headlight knob

    Ya know I once thought about doing a massive mechanical dump valve thru routed thru a hood stack on my F250. I have since come to my senses and realized how bad of an idea that could be. My truck is loud and obnoxious enough without blowing my exhaust at my face the whole time.

    Fixed headlight knob

    Hey, while im thinking about it, could you send me some shots of your work rig? Specifically the cowl induction hood and intake and what not? Ive been thinking about alot of those similar mods that your truck has.

    Fixed headlight knob

    Finished it, found a box of cup point set screws that should hold well. They are 1/32" shorter than can fit but they will hold for now until the slightly longer screws come in. There are 3 set screws total spaced equidistant (120 degrees) around the diameter. There is a little trial and error to...

    Fixed headlight knob

    The knob happens to be an off the shelf item from McMaster Carr. Part# 60205K51. Works great for the process because it is highly corrosion resistance, strong enough for a knob and is "free machining". It contains small amounts of phosphorous and sulfur which reduce the "gummy" characteristic...

    Fixed headlight knob

    Hey all. Every OBS I have ever owned has had the headlight knob broken off, my new super duty is no exception so I am making a permanent replacement. Knob is 303SS. Drilled and threaded for 3 serrated 8-32 steel set screws. Going to drill and thread it today after work with a spin indexer...

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    I polished up my headlights just to see how they would look. Sanded then up to 3000 grit and they actually cleaned up pretty ok. I installed the eagle LEDs and there is a big improvement except for one issue. One of these pictures is low beam and the other is high beam. Pretty sure I have them...

    Fluid type in 1989 ZF5 and transfer case lubricant

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    Relay sounds like an interesting idea. I have had alot of bad luck with aftermarket relays though, and would be hesitant to use them if the factory setup functions OK. On the other hand, I do hate that headlight switch with a passion. I have never seen an OBS with the knob still attached and my...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Finished welding up the rear valance for Earl Sr. this weekend. Even got some layers of primer and plasti dip over it. Also hauled another truckload of ash wood. Probably have another couple full truckloads left, then i'll be splitting and stacking till the snow falls.

    Injection Pump Issues and Adjustment Procedure

    Yeah old lines, old filters, old lift pumps are all cheap replacements with a bit of elbow grease. If your tank runs low enough, the pickup can suck in a bit of air and that can cause all kinds of issues. I actually stranded my truck at the head of my driveway when I went to back in with a low...

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    Wow, that is a huge difference from mine. Ah, do you know if there is a difference between F350 headlights and F-Superduty headlights? I assumed there wasnt but TYC isnt listed for the superduty, only shows a Dorman part#. Although, I am assuming its the LED bulbs that make the difference...

    Do you happen to have a picture of Alfred with those headlights in him? I'd like to see how that looks.

    You are using the generic Dorman replacement housings I assume?

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    Excellent point. Fortunately one of the benefits about where I live is that we dont have safety inspections on our vehicles.

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    I had to look up this Diogenes fellow, seems to resonate with my lifestyle a little too closely. Maybe hes my spirit animal or some such. My headlights are so oxidized and filthy that they look like mud is caked on them. I will give that cleaning process a shot that you mentioned Fixnstuff and...

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    As the title says, the headlights in my slug - Earl Simpson Sr. are spanked. I was driving home with a load of ash last night and realized it was the first time I had driven the thing at night and I didnt like it one bit. That being said. What is everyone's opinions on headlights? Any...

    Injection Pump Issues and Adjustment Procedure

    Some testing is definitely in order. Just replacing the return lines doesnt guarantee that you eliminated the air intrusion. I know I have replaced the caps, lines, orings, and clamps and still had one or two leak. That return system is probably one of the weakest links in the IDI design. I...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I like where your head is at and I will keep an eye out for it. Those uprights that the louvered section is welded to are 4"x3" 1/4" wall thickness full penetration welded to a 6" I-Beam cross member and bolted thru the frame. They wont bend even if I put a half ton load on them (ask me how I...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Just about finished the overhead equipment rack for my logging rig. Work was tossing these heavy gauge steel wire shelves, supposed to be rated to hold a good 1000lbs if you can believe that. Welded up a steel tube frame and burned em in good. Now I can put my fuel, saw, straps and ropes and...

    Coolant Suggestions.

    I have been using this coolant for a while. Complete flush with cleaner and distilled water on every truck I buy (you never know what the previous owners put in there!). It is concentrated and precharged, checks out on the test strips everytime...
