    brake hold off/metering valve

    Wow, just beyond confused now... watch this video i just took. I decided to rebench bleed the master cylinder just to be sure i was good. Then i noticed that the front fluid flows for about 1/4 to 1/2 of the stroke almost before the rear port puts out fluid...

    brake hold off/metering valve

    Perhaps the van is different from the trucks? As far as i know the master cylinder on the van is a single diamter all the way through, 1-1/8". If it were dual diamter that might make a little more sense of why the valve is not there on all vehicles. I can pretty well say though that for sure...

    brake hold off/metering valve

    Haha, yup, i'm a tard. I briefly thought about it in my head and was like... okay, 6/16" is.... LARGER, right. There's usually a reason I carry around a calculator.

    brake hold off/metering valve

    Yeah, actually late last night I kinda came to the same conclusion about the speedway valve. I ended up buying it with a boat load of nuts/adapters to make it all work. I get what LCAM said about them making the flare nut larger on the master cylinder, the larger front port is 9/16" - 18...

    brake hold off/metering valve

    Van has never had a previous owner, valve shown is stock. It's on the ford diagram, http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/PartDetail.aspx?n=Vmjw5w0PmUZ5schL0mgDHw%3d%3d&id=236122048&m=2&search=true&year=1992&make=Ford&model=E-350%20Econoline Probably 90% of the braking that is done normally...

    brake hold off/metering valve

    Here is a picture of it... I agree with you, you don't want the rears locking up, that exactly why they put the rear ABS module on it. I can tell you, if you don't have this valve, the rears wear down in about two days and if your auto adjuster doesn't kick in then the rears do nothing...

    brake hold off/metering valve

    Yes, the van has Rear ABS. The hold off valve is to supposidly allow the rear drums to engage and then the front discs to engage after. Without the hold off valve the front brakes instantly engage as they are discs and don't have to travel any distance to put pressure on the rotor. The rear...

    brake hold off/metering valve

    Does anyone know somewhere to get a hold off valve for the front disc brakes? Long story short I accidentally threw mine away, lol. I've found this while looking for one... http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Brake-Metering-Hold-Off-Valve,8904.html However, it's ports are for 3/8" Inverted...

    WHERE did you mount your CARRIER pump???

    On the van I installed mine just under the hood. I have it mounted sideways which most people probably wouldn't, a little bit of air gets traped in the filter area. Also, if you took off the bowl to clean it would make a mess but it's only attached with two screws so i figured I could just...

    Awesome, thanks!

    what is this part called?

    Well seems to make sense. Looks like it's a dealer only item. Thanks! Surprised I haven't noticed it being damaged before, it looks pretty rough like it's been pretty beat up for years.

    what is this part called?

    Can someone tell me what this part is called? It's below the coil spring. It appears to be a spacer that keeps the spring in place. While working on the brakes tonight i noticed that it is all broken. Appears to be made of hard plastic. Was thinking if i knew what it was called it...

    Return lines leaking STILL

    I assume you replaced the fuel return lines? I replaced caps once and didn't replace the old lines, those leaked like crazy shortly afterward. Are all the stabilizer clamps on the injector lines? Maybe one of the stabilizers is going bad somehow and making that injector shake more than it...

    cylinder wall pit

    I think the true answer to this is more about what type of person you are. Are you a measure once, cut twice kinda guy, or are you a measure twice, cut once kinda guy? If you want it right you fix it, if you don't, don't fix it.

    cylinder wall pit

    Would defintley want to have that engine sleeved. I wouldn't want to run that engine with that in there. Defintley will increase blow by when the rings pass that location. And of course, could be cavitation. Even if it's not cavitation, if that spot caused any sort of imperfection on the...

    E-350 rear axle

    Have a couple questions. I've been wanting to put a locking differential in the van for a while now and just haven't had time or money to get to it. I think finally I want to tackle it and really have never messed with the axle at all. As far as I know it's a full float Dana 60. All of the...

    Battery Maintenance advice.

    gauge cluster questions

    Dave, that modual is an anti-slosh modual that was only included in E series clusters, doesn't have anything to do with a fuel light. If you take it out your fuel gauge sways with every bump you hit, leave it in and it kinda averages out the fuel level. Also, I've never heard of laying the...

    Why & How Did You Get Here.

    Need some advice on 1/4 tank fuel problem

    I've never pulled a bed off a pickup before but I can't believe that pulling the bed off is any easier or quicker than dropping the tank. There are two straps that hold the tank on, and I believe only one bolt really holds those straps down and to the frame. Two or three wires after removing...

    E350 15 passenger Van Questions

    The problem with the thing rolling over is supposedly the rear drivers tire. If you actually have 15 passengers in there, an unproportionate amount of weight is on the drivers rear tire and when they blow out you lose control easily. Basically keep your tires in good shape, be mindful of your...

    how good are the ZD9 glow plugs for manual button systems??

    I've got beru's in my motor and I've had the push button system for about 10 years now. Starts up like a charm still, haven't replaced one glow plug yet. I switch it out to push button after the control was acting funny and was holding the plugs on way to long. I tried to fix it but couldn't...

    So apparently don't even need a fuel pump

    I have my new electric pump rigged up with an auto/manual switch. I had set the thing to manual when playing with it and forgot to set back to auto. Anyways, went out the next day and fired it up like normal and drove around all day then at the end of the day popped the hood and noticed the...
