    Help major tranny leak

    Most likely it’s the front seal. Don’t get the cheapest, get the viton seal. Do a little research, the other style and material are problematic. This item Transmission Parts Direct (E9TZ-7A248-B) E4OD/4R100/AODE/4R70/4R75: Front Pump Seal (VITON)

    I pulled the old 86 out of the weeds

    Motor oil pain plug repair

    There should be like a washer that reenforces the pan in the oil plug area. It is thin but can catch a few threads. Have to be careful with a tap, I believe the oil pickup screen is just above drain. Can shine a light or use something soft to check for clearance.

    The tip looks like it was firing. What does the copper washer look like from that injector? Did you have a dead miss?

    1997 F350 leaking fluid from top of trans

    Is your overdrive light flashing? I had a 93 that was giving a 62 code, convertor slip and it would heat up and blow fluid out the overflow on top of transmission. Do you have a transmission fluid temperature gauge?

    Help major tranny leak

    Block your engine so it remains stationary when you remove transmission, keeping it at this angle helps during reinstallation and is safer for your body parts.

    If you have access to 110v power and the block heater cord looks good, I’d plug it in and help your chances of starting easier.

    New P/S pump but still stiff steering/won't return to center

    I had that problem and it ended up being the bearings in the steering column. There is also a u joint that can bind. It is inside the cab, not the one under the hood. I thought it was my power steering pump at first, hard to turn didn’t return to center.

    Shocks?!?

    Don’t just change them, check them. Get a crow bar, jack up one front tire from the frame at a time and pry at the bushing end to see if there’s play.

    Turbo experts... where's the boost?

    Until you can get the money together for that step, find all your hot side and cold side leaks. Play with your timing (you can always set it back as long as you scribe where it was) after all of that turn your fuel up or down. It’s always amazing how these engines run when everything is in the...

    Turbo experts... where's the boost?

    I had a small leak in my intercooler piping. I put 15lbs of shop air and used soap suds to find small bubbles at silicon connectors, it was small. It greatly improved response and added 4 lbs of boost. I’ll also beat the dead horse, when your moving down the road the under hood air temperature...

    Turbo experts... where's the boost?

    It doesn’t take much exhaust leak to affect boost. It reduces drive pressure. Look for soot at that joint.

    Coolant pressure/leak

    If you have that much coolant unaccounted for, I would turn the motor over by hand to insure it’s not hydro locked before I hit the starter.
