    E4OD front pump bushing size and machining

    I have a new bushing which has an O.D. of 2.109" and the bushing bore is also 2.109". To snug of a fit I think. I have read on other forums that the bore should be machined/ honed out to 2.123 - 2.125". This would make the bore larger than the bushing O.D. which sounds like a recipe for another...

    Catastrophic E4OD bellhousing failure(Full fracture)

    This 93 f250 7.3L has been in the family for the last 20 years, the transmission was rebuilt probably 10 years ago in some trans shop in Love lock Nevada. So, no transmission problems until right before this happened. My uncle was driving it daily up until it started vibrating violently. The...

    Seat belt replacement quandaries

    I am helping a friend replace the front drivers side and passenger side seat belts on her 2001 crew cab F-250 7.3L. I just discovered that the seat belts that I grabbed off of a 99 single cab F-250 from the junk yard are not the same at all as the 2001s. The metal backing brackets are...

    76 300d Rust repair thread(nice pics)

    I want to share the repairs I will be doing on my car and update it as I go. There is a considerable amount of rust on the drivers side floor board, strangely enough, not on the passenger side. In fact the passenger side of the car on the exterior has no where near the amount of rust that the...

    I have/had auto locking hubs with the 5 cap cover. I took them out and put in place the locking warn 11690 hubs. From what I understand I need no conversion kit what so ever, but I had to take out a lock ring and a washer that sat behind the auto hubs to get the manuals to fit right. I have...

    Drop bracket damage

    Some one recently hit my parked '94 in on the passenger side head on. Judging by the damage he was going pretty fast. His car was accordioned. I wouldn't be surprised if it was totaled. The bumper was shoved into the tire and part of the car went under the bumper and smacked the tire. It...

    1976 300D; Crispy Starter

    It looks like my suspicions are comfirmed. My best guess is the PO burnt it up with a combo of constant, low cranking amps and voltage. Time to look for a rebuilder.

    Auto hubs randomly engaging

    As the title says, my auto hubs on the 94 are engaging randomly without the t-case in 2wd. I have noticed that the drivers side hub is making noise and is more likely to engage randomly, especially when turning left. Backing up does disengage the hubs until they decide to lock again. At this...

    Can anyone explain to me how these tach sensors go bad?

    Mine has been going out slowly for quite awhile and i think it has now begun to affect the transmission, only on take off though because idle is the only rpm range that it has trouble picking up. I have cleaned it before and it didn't seem to do much. How do these tachometer sensors fail...
