    E4OD woes

    The trans in my '97 is having problems. It started by hesitating when you put in reverse after it warms up, then I noticed that 1st will slip pretty bad when it's cold. I noticed that the oil smelt burnt, so I changed the oil and filter. When I dropped the pan, I found alot of metal shavings...

    Doors lock when you turn on the key

    I've got a '97 crew cab F-350. When you turn the key on, the doors automatically lock after 5 seconds and again 5 seconds after you start it. My question is: Is there a door lock module or relay or somthing of that sort, that may be telling the doors to lock. The truck doesn't have RKE or an...

    '97 turns over, won't start

    I've got this '97 OBS that I aquired recently. The PO said he was driving down the road, headed home from work and it started to white smoke. He said it smoked "for a mile or two" then lost power. He said when he pulled over, it died and hasn't hit since. That was about 3 years ago. Where...

    Brakes

    I just added another truck to the fleet cookoo. A '92 3/4ton 4x4. The po told me about all the problems before I bought it ($1500). One of the problems was the brake pedal was real hard and didn't stop well at all. After I got it, I noticed that you could hear the vacum pump hissing as it...

    I talked to a guy today who's got a '92 4x4 5-sp. It belonged to an old farmer around here so it dosen't have a ton of miles, 110,000. All 4 corners are beat in and the right hand door's got a big dinger in it. New pump and injectors, radiator, clutch bracket and SMF all with in the last...

    will an eaton transmission fit

    Been rolling an idea around in my head. I've got an older freightliner FL50 ofr 60, not sure which, with an old B-series cummins and an eaton 9 or 10 speed. I bought the truck wrecked, cheap. I'm thinking of putting the combo in my '92 F-350. I haven't done anything but think about it, as a...

    FL60 w/ISB 230? - Fuel pump relay code

    I got a '99 FL60 w/ an 5.9 ISB. 9 of 10 times you crank it up, both engine lights come on and it throws code 373 and the throttle acts erraticly, or just the check engine light wiil come on and it throws 377. I'm guessing both codes are related to the fuel pump relay, but where is it? The...

    Rebuild or Exchange

    I got a guy with an '07 3500 with a bad miss and lots of smoke. I pulled the head and found that the #3 piston was gone... I mean gone... He wants to rebuild the engine, pistons bearings the whole deal. How economical is it to find a long block compared to building the bottom end himself...

    Used engines

    anyone know a good place to buy used engines online? It seems hard to find anywhere that has used, not rebuilt diesel engines. There's lots of gas engines out there but I'm haveing a hard time finding diesels.

    Rebuilding a 6.5 for the first time

    Are there any special issues that I should look out for going into this project? It's not my motor, I doing it for another feller. So far he's gonna have to buy a cam, crank, pistons and rods just to get it back together. He has no problem spending the money to do things right and I have no...

    Muffler?

    Straight piped the ''Mule" a few weeks ago because I felt like the muffler was stopped up, and it was. That thing sounds great. Since then, I put a steel bed on the truck. It's a skirted flatbed, and the exhaust dumped in the factory location, just inside the edge of the bed. The noise...

    Filler neck woes

    I just put a used steel flatbed on "The Mule" the other day. I didn't put enough thought into the fuel neck situation. I just spliced some pieces of other fillernecks with some pvc thinking that it would work, untill I tried to put fuel in it. 20 mins got me 3 gals. I know part of the...

    Rear ends

    I'm planning to rebuild a spare dually axle for Big Russ next week. I don't know for sure what it is stuffed with, but I want to split the difference between the 3.55's that are in the truck now, and 4.10's. I was thinking 3.73's, but I don't know if they're even available for the rear ends...

    over heating problems

    I do a lot of work for some guys around town, working on trucks and tractors and such. One of the guy's called me today and said that he's been having problems with his truck overheating with a load on it. I think it's an '02 or '03 3500. I know that it hasn't been taken care of and he hauls...

    Rebuild or freshen up

    Big Russ has a little over 420k on the clock and the tranny finally gave up the ghost. While the transmission is out, I planned on pulling the engine to fix a couple of leaks that have been nagging at me for a few years now. Would it be worth it to go any further i.e. bearings or rings...

    ATS non wastegate

    I attempted to install the turbo I got from Darrin Tosh a few months ago. I destroyed the grommet under the CDR trying to get it out, I figured i would and i thought i would just get one from ATS. Knowing that I would need a new gasket, I went ahead and started mocking things up, you know, to...

    Delphi Injectors

    :dunno There's a set of new injectors on E-Bay for less than $20 a piece. They're from Pensecola Diesel and the picture shows Delphi's. Are they worth it? Seems like I once read that delphi's weren't worth the trouble, won't get many miles on 'em.
