    Trailer hook up

    Those are nice units, it's nice to have the 4 pin readily available without needing an adapter. Here's an additional 7 blade and 4 pin combo connector that uses the same harness but fits in the round hole of standard 7 blade connector so you don't have to cut a new hole pattern in your bumper...

    E4OD Fresh Rebuild Still Have Issues

    Tach Sensor, Speed sensor in the rear axle, FIPL voltage and make sure the Brake light bulbs and contacts are clean and working correctly, also the hazard circuit in the multifunction switch/turn signal switch module which powers up the rear brake lights. Sometimes if the truck has a trailer...

    is an extended cab swap practical?

    If the cost to put it on the road is an issue (I'm assuming it's tied to GVW), maybe a cab swap would help. A cab from a F250 or F350 would allow you to reasonably title that truck as exactly that as long as you don't ever tip the scales above the GVW associated with the new cab. The VIN plate...

    F-Super Duty Trailer Hitch

    Since you have the 34” wide frame that remains common even up through today so I would think any of the hitches made for that width would work even if you have to make your own holes. E-trailer has a number of them if you look up the f350/450/550 cab and chassis super duty trucks from 99 and...

    DB2 vs DB4 pump

    Building a better db2 Have you read through this thread and have you searched this site for DB4 there's many discussions, most of the ones that involve people actually getting one don't have a happy ending for the time and money involved. Wes has DB2s putting out 130+ through the entire power...

    Help with E4OD ECC and code questions

    Near the bottom of the US gear page is a link to the install and setup manual for the unit. I would suggest reading through all of it before jumping in. It does say that it must be installed in the cab, not under the hood or along the frame rail like the banks transcommand.

    Help with E4OD ECC and code questions

    I don't know the cost of the reman ECC but if it were me I would look into the stand alone controller from US Shift. I think there are a couple different versions depending on how much control you want over the unit but they are well reviewed and can make an E4OD live a better life...

    Project Truck - 89' F250

    Cute little guy. My youngest is 4 now but I remember those days, if letting him stand on the front seat wasn't enough, I'd strap him in his carrier and head down the street, usually only took 10-15min and he'd be out. I completely understand your dilemma on the IDI, it's exactly what I had to do...

    Banks sidewinder turbo rebuild

    For some of the banks turbos, it's my understanding that they are not rebuildable. I think the one that's not is a Mitsubishi turbo. Russ is the guy around here to go to for rebuild services if you decide to farm it out. If you want to take it on and it's a rebuildable unit, check with G-Pop...

    Ex Wife- my LONG term build

    As plentiful as these axles are in wrecking yards, I think I’d put a decent amount of effort into finding a complete axle with the 3.55 gears in it already. Rolling an axle under the truck and bleeding brakes is way easier than swapping and setting up gears. Then you could leave your 4.10 axle...

    88 f250 saved from savage nature

    I second what idibronco said. Search this site for a post from @Selahdoor that describes how he installed a little pump in parallel to the lift pump with some wyes and check valves so they can both contribute or either one can.

    I'm back in the IDI game!

    I wouldn’t normally suggest running an old one, but as an alternative/backup to the airtex, don’t you have an OEM original one with 87k miles on it? Or was the arm it pretty rusty like the rest of that engine?

    1993 F-350 tow rig

    If you want to keep the 8x6.5 you have to make custom lug studs or drill holes in between the metric ones for the ones you have. Here's one guys experience doing it. Supposedly the studs he ended up using were from Quigley but there are other custom stud mfg out there that can make them...

    Dana 60 going in...eventually

    I'm pretty sure that the 4x4 trucks had appropriately sized spacers for the carrier bearing or different length carrier bearing supports to get it back in line. I believe a number of the places that support the groups using D60s for SAS offer spacers for the carrier bearing. One other thing I...

    3 trucks to make one!

    File for a lost title, it will come back to you in the previous owners name and then it can be transferred to you by getting the p.o. to sign it over to you. A bill of sale is helpful too. In Texas, and I think La is similar, a VIN tag can be replaced by a body shop and then getting a LEO...

    3G alternator help - low voltage

    I used the 200 amp rebuild kit from these guys when I did mine a couple years ago. I was pleased with the bearing quality and increased size of the copper windings in the stator and it’s still running great. Yes this kit is for the ‘92 and newer style 3g but I believe it’s the same for the...

    Fuel selector switch broken?

    For the fuel line clips used on the fittings, I’m pretty sure Dorman 800-023 is the assortment pack that has the two sizes used on our lines. If that’s not correct,a search on the dorman site for fuel line clips will bring the correct ones up.

    How much is enough fuel?

    Maybe this information can help clarify some details about your truck. Start with the VIN Check the 8th Digit, M in the 8th position identifies an IDI diesel from 88-94 K is factory Turbo IDI in ‘94 C is factory turbo IDI in ‘93 If you have M then you have an ATS 093 turbo that someone has put...

    Installing cab clearance lights

    Pretty sure on '87-'91 the plug for the cab lights is behind the driver side kick panel just below the dash. On the '92-'97 it's on the passenger side behind the kick panel as previously described. I'm not sure if there's a connector for '86 and older in all trucks but I suspect it's like the...

    Oil leak down filter

    I wouldn’t use rtv on the gaskets but I would is a permatex product called form-a-gasket “super300”. It’s a black thick non-hardening liquid that you “paint” on the contact surfaces of the gasket. It’s resistant to fuel and antifreeze and it’s worked pretty well for me over the years.

    Clutch Help!

    As I recall the straps across the nose of the slave cylinder are to aid in holding it compressed while installing it to the transmission housing and then to provide a bushing for the point of contact with the throw-out fork. Your throw-out fork pivot may also be worn or if the clutch has been...

    Help! 7.3 IDI Turbo Literature

    I've got a PDF version of the '94 manuals that I can share on Google Drive if you'd like. They came from a google drive link in the past but I can't find where from now so I'll leave the share up for a week or so for folks to download and then take it back down. After that if anyone needs them I...

    Name this transmission "pic inside"

    Pretty much the transfer case will bolt in place of the parking brake unit. Then the whole shebang can be swapped for an e4od. The xfer linkages might have some differences between e4od and zf but otherwise it should work fine.

    recommend headlight upgrade?

    Good to know. It’s also good to know that the cheap relays can be swapped with good Bosch units found in most power distribution panels of cars and trucks in the wrecking yards. As long as the wiring and relay sockets aren’t melted don’t give up on it yet. Now that you’ve removed it, all the...
