    Explain gear roll over noise

    Thanks laserjock, and is it correct that the clutch pressure plate should be matched (in type and spec) to the type of flywheel? So a single-mass flywheel with a dual-mass pressure plate would work but eventually would start making a fuss? (I do not know this, I am trying to learn. I...

    Explain gear roll over noise

    Hi BrianX128, Have you eliminated the possibility that it's the Throwout Bearing? With clutch pedal pressed, in 2nd, you get the sound (sometimes.) I know in other transmissions, the T.O. Bearing will occasionally misalign, making sounds, sometimes clattery, other times almost a musical...

    Anybody tried DIESEL HPR in their IDI?

    I brought up HPR because it was on the front page of our local newspaper, one of the cities in our county is using it for their fleet of fire engines and rescue equipment. After a bit of reading and searching a Merecedes site and FTE were helpful (thanks 79jasper.) I'll paste the best quote...

    Anybody tried DIESEL HPR in their IDI?

    "Additized" ha ha, government speak for they added some, or something, to it, not sure how much, not sure what, but it got additized, "so what difference does it make at this point anyways..." AAARRRGH!!! I got to do more research, can't tell if the testimonials on the websites are real or...

    Anybody tried DIESEL HPR in their IDI?

    It could be 79japsper, I did a search and turned up nil. Also checked the overall forum, I might not be using the correct search words(?) I brought it up now because the Carlsbad City Fire Department has recently committed to it, being half million dollar vehicles, and emergency ones at...

    Anybody tried DIESEL HPR in their IDI?

    "Diesel High Performance Renewable" fuel (NOT biodiesel,) is available in our area but was wondering if anyone tried it and how their IDI motors handled it. What I know is the Diesel HPR is non-petroleum diesel, and it's being rendered (made) in Singapore then sent by tankers to San Fransisco...

    SPIDER INFESTATION!!!

    SPIDER INFESTATION!!! *****update***** I was in the process of getting the microbead stuff as it made sense, but thought I would try one more thing. I think Black Widows are lazy, they seem like they don't like to make webs over-and-over. The reason I say this is, every coupla days I took...

    I can run free VIN checks for 2 more weeks

    Got it thanks. I got a Carfax a couple years ago, right before buying this van. This check is identical (and more detailed!) that shows basically nothing happened to this vehicle. One owner, and it verified the 64,000 miles. It took a second for me to open the file, I renamed it as a...

    SPIDER INFESTATION!!!

    Runningaford- the place the van was stored for decades was like that, up north in the Berkely/Oakland CA area, in a barn/shed on the shaded side of a large house overgrown with trees, moist/damp spongy soil, and the dirt was the result of many years of falling leaves and vegetation. My...

    SPIDER INFESTATION!!!

    Great suggestions, thank you. Here's what I was using: (not affiliated) It wasn't till a couple of applications that I bothered to read the full label and the wording implies that "contact" must be made to effectively work... ...it was by chance the one large Black Widow...

    SPIDER INFESTATION!!!

    My 1985 van was in a shed/barn for over 20 years. When I took to the cleaning I got a bucket full of snail shells (and waste) in one area, leaves/dirt/debris in another section, and spider webs in the front wheel wells and the vent in front of the windshield. I took care of the problems...

    C6 Speedo Gear ?

    Hi Hydro-idi, You have a few options to get the gears right for the speedometer. Check out the build thread for my transmission and transfer case. The transfer case housed the speedo gears and I show how I went to adjust the ratio. Now, using GPS, the speedometer is right on the money...

    Hose to Lift Pump: How Did They Do This?

    79jasper wrote: "@SDEconVan how is yours?" Hmmm, mine looks fine: (elbow macaroni bent hose, lower left background in photo, is the line in question) A bend that severe must be supplied "as molded" from manufacturer, there is no way to use straight hose alone to overcome that close...

    Transmission question, 1992 E350 IDI E4OD

    idi_econoline- I think it's a racket man, I've seen more E4OD's using a diesel case, with CAR internals than I could have imagined- (That's the "Out of Sight Warranty" When it's out of our sight, der ain't NOOOO warranty...) No wonder these trannys have a bad rep, they'll hold a LOT...

    Transmission question, 1992 E350 IDI E4OD

    Great connection! Look also for, shift lever coming out of trans, MLPS around said shift lever, 100,000 mi warranty:rotflmao Torque converter will need to match and also the Servo Pack plug and MLPS/Range Sensor plug must match your van. (Only a two types of each of these) Great part...

    Transmission question, 1992 E350 IDI E4OD

    That said, I think the most cost-effective, least head-scratching installation will be an E4OD from a diesel E4OD 2wd. Here's one in Rocklin (I'm not associated with it.) (After ad expires, shows a '96 E4OD from Diesel PS, 2WD, w/6 bolt Torque Converter all for $300.)...

    Transmission question, 1992 E350 IDI E4OD

    I went through this, but the other way, Older van using new trans. FORDF250HDXLT is right on the money. In addition is using the right MLPS, oh man, that was a PITA. For the C6, it will be looking for a NSS (Neutral Safety Switch) signal so you can start the engine, so possibly you could...

    Transmission question, 1992 E350 IDI E4OD

    Hi crazytwo- I bought an 1985 idi Van with a blown tranny. It had a C6 for diesel in it, that's 3 speeds, NO overdrive so highway driving is not very economical. It will be worth your time to find a DIESEL E4OD, which is a 4 speed with overdrive. Your van already (or should already,) have...

    E-Series Fender removal- ONE bolt away...

    Hi 79jasper, riotwarrior, I'm thinkin just make a new flap (original crumbled in my hands.) I can make a new one out of bicycle inner tube rubber. The rubber flap was dried out and curled "open." There was a second part to the Flap, like a large rectangular o-ring made out of softer...

    ****************Got the fender off**************** I followed your advice and took the grille off today. I waited for some retainers to come before I started, the ones that go across the top of the grille, It came with a bunch maybe 50, I'll need 9 at a time so I'm good for a few...
