1998 E4OD on the outside... ...wait a minute!
**************Adapting the Shift Mechanism (cont.)*************** Been chipping away steadily at the project. There is a lot of truth to the saying "the devil is in the details." I kind of knew it would go this way, I usually don't cobble things together so I can drive it to work Monday...- SDEconVan

*************************Adapting the Shift Mechanism************************ ...the PRND21 didn't match too well at the 2 and 1 (the Indicator Needle.) So I cut and tacked and tried again. After the third try it was real good. Advice: Good place to start is Park. Have the Column...- SDEconVan

While the rear driveshaft is getting made, I could start connecting the E4OD to the vehicle. First lesson... Got the Trans torqued to the Eng, Cross Member torqued to the Frame, and finally started to torque the Torque Converter to the Flywheel... See the little hole next to the...- SDEconVan

Hi David85, "Low range comes in really handy for pushing something heavy on a ramp..." ;Sweet;Sweet Ha, I didn't even think about that, (slaps forehead) I occasionally use the local boat ramps and drive down arroyos (gulches) in Baja. And now my Van will have LOW RANGE....:sly My...- SDEconVan

Hi Trackspeeder! Thanks for this advice and for helping so much with my E4OD build! You are right, the Boost Valve in the Front Pump is probably the "biggest bang for the buck" as the increased pump capabilities will counter the large amount of volume the E4OD requires to be pumped in...- SDEconVan

Very helpful David85, thanks again. I watched parts of your video a few times, and it is a very good way to better understand the versatility of the stand alone Trans Controller. Because mine is a recent edition, it is not called a Baumannator, but instead it's a "Quick 1" by US Shift...- SDEconVan

Hi David85, MAN, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I STARTED?!? (Just Kidding) I just watched your YouTube, and it is EXACTLY what I need to see. You use the Shift Tables and OverDrive quite a bit, I set my switches about the same area. Wondering, which do you think you use more? (Might swap...- SDEconVan

NEWER HYDROBOOST? (1998-newer)
Hi cpdenton, towcat, Well. No "stop what you're doing!" warnings, so that's encouraging, ha ha. I am researching. Does anyone know a reason the 2005 Ford F-Series Hydroboost WILL NOT work in an 80's F-Series? For example is there any extra valving for progressive anti-lock...- SDEconVan

NEWER HYDROBOOST? (1998-newer)
Hey guys, Researching and finding 1987-1997 F-series HB is what to look for. I have an E-series and have found a pretty good price on the Hydroboost, hoses, pump/tank, and brake pedal. Problem is the donor van is an E-450 shuttle, and it's 2005, my van is a 1985. That said, I am...- SDEconVan

Hi Laserjock, Yeah the speedos are not super accurate, so when I put larger tires on, it even throws things off further! ha! I measure the rolling diameter as center of the axle straight down to the ground and double that number. You are correct, the tire could run flat like a tank tread...- SDEconVan

Locking Hood Latch T-Handle: Re-key Effort
Yes 79jasper, the later models had one (square) key for doors/ign. You'd think they'd have done that sooner Good tip on the double cut key RiotWarrior, with a little notch on one side of the key head it would allow for one key too. You had an improved version it looks like thegururat12...- SDEconVan

Locking Hood Latch T-Handle: Re-key Effort
Hey RiotWarrior- Ya I got the key for it. My problem is (desire more than a problem,) I want one key to open all the doors of the van, including the hood, and another key for the ignition. If I need the door key and it's dark I just feel in my pocket for the round or square... (I...- SDEconVan

Locking Hood Latch T-Handle: Re-key Effort

STOP THIEF!!! What you would do to make your IDI harder to steal...
I'd normally have to agree, a 30-year-old pile won't even get a second look, but because of our locale, the VANS, especially older, windowless ones, are very desirable for human smuggling (and also runs in parallel with the drug trade.) I stopped counting the number of stolen vans I learned...- SDEconVan
