    E40D kicking out of OD first 15 miles

    Update: I checked all my lights and blinkers. All working fine. Checked wiring harness. No sign of wires pulled, chaffed, or damaged. Have driven the truck 5 more times since my last post and it shifts fine. Boy, this one is a pain the A** to figure out. I'll keep looking.

    E40D kicking out of OD first 15 miles

    Update. So it's 77 degrees here in Atlanta. Just drove the truck 5 miles and no issues. I did hit the over drive off button at 50 mph and I do have to clarify that this simulated my issue exactly. In other words pressing on the brake only made the rpm go up a little. Turning off the od...

    E40D kicking out of OD first 15 miles

    Been tied up at work, but had a chance to check for damaged wires on side of tranny. All looked good. Drove truck around as well and no issue. I'm leaning towards some electrical issue as you all have suggested. I'll keep digging this weekend.

    E40D kicking out of OD first 15 miles

    So while the topic of the E40D has been discussed numerous times with great feedback, I have a little bit of a different issue that I can't seem to find any info on. My tranny is kicking out of OD only during the first 15 miles or so of travel regardless of speed. I've seen several post about...

    900 RPM roughness (running) 93 7.3 F350

    UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - RESOLVED PROBLEM 4/19/14 - 900RPM roughness. Replaced water pump, and she's back to normal. No more vibration / roughness. As it turned out, that bad bearing on the water pump would allow the pulley to move just enough to induce the vibration / roughness I felt. To...

    900 RPM roughness (running) 93 7.3 F350

    So thought I'd post a quick update. Just came in from outside checking the temperature as suggested above. Very quickly I noticed that my fan was not moving correctly. I turned off the engine, grabbed the fan, and discovered my water pump bearing is bad although not leaking yet. I can move...

    900 RPM roughness (running) 93 7.3 F350

    man this is why I love this forum so much I appreciate all of the input and will take your advice on checking the injectors. to answer a couple of the questions the injectors and fuel system only have 62000 miles and yes the vibration or roughness goes away above 900 rpm or below so in other...

    900 RPM roughness (running) 93 7.3 F350

    Sorry, I guess my post may have been a little mis-leading. In frequent use of the vehicle actually doesn't mean sit's long enough for fuel issues. Sorry about that. Just meant, It's not a daily driver, but get's used enough to keep things flowing. The problem happens hot or cold. Simply...

    900 RPM roughness (running) 93 7.3 F350

    Gotta reach out again to my fellow IDI experts. My engine has a rough / weird running at 900 RPM. Sort of feels like missing a cylinder, but don't think it is. No excess smoke at any time during operation. Actually feels like something off balance. Motor & Truck shake but at soon as I go...

    Popping noise in front end when turning or flexing?????

    New UPDATE - So I found a loose bolt on the stationary side of the driver side I beam bracket. That took care of the larger pop, however didn't notice ( i guess because of the louder pop) that there was also a smaller pop. Still looking fot that one. I followed the TSP procedure, but no luck...

    Popping noise in front end when turning or flexing?????

    UPDATE - So I searched the internet for the bulletin posted on the power stroke link above, and found the extensive description of the issue from Ford. Too much info to post, but if you google search for TSB 97-3-10 you'll find it. Now the daunting task of figuring out which one. I'll post...

    Popping noise in front end when turning or flexing?????

    Forgot to mention it's 2wd. Sorry about that. As for bolts on fenders I've done all of that. I tried going to the Tech service bulletin link listed above but I'm not a member so couldn't log in. I'll copy the number and do an internet search. Sounds like that's the info I was looking for...

    Popping noise in front end when turning or flexing?????

    So I've been told that our trucks are prone to some rivet coming loose in the front end resulting in a popping noise from a cross member or something. The noise sounds like a ball joint, however just replaced those, along with the bushings and still have the same noise. Anyone with the same...

    E40D Help Please?

    Thanks. I'll try that next. not sure if it's related, but as I was looking over things closely I noticed that the two wire sensor on the oil filler housing has exposed wires. I assume from age, the insulation is pulled back. The conductors were laying down against the metal part of the...

    E40D Help Please?

    So I checked the lower, upper, and sweep as you noted and found nothing out of the ordinary. Idle position 1.0V WOT position 4.0V. Sweep, multiple times, no missing readings. The meter went through the range without any skips, or quick changes. Engine is warm, and Idle solenoid was not...

    E40D Help Please?

    Thanks. I assume, if I look up how to check it and it's not correct, then I will need to replace it? or is there an adjustment?

    E40D Help Please?

    Guys, need some help again but this time with my trans. At highway speeds specifically 60-65 mph where I normally run my transmission is starting to rev up as if it kicked out of overdrive. If I let off the accelerator it will go back and hold again. A couple of times it would rev up (shift...

    Fleet Charge Testing coolant - high nitrate???

    I converted over to fleet charge last year when I replaced my radiator. The other day I decided to check my coolant with the test strips. PH and temperature protection were great, however nitrate shows HIGH with the recommendation being to "flush" as per the little card that you match the...

    F350 DRW CC 2wd to 4WD conversion help

    Yeah, I agree also on the divorce complications. I weld and fab as a hobby and have actually built some pretty nice stuff (trailers, jeep mods, etc.) but I really wan't to keep this project as simple as possible. Fabing up suspension brackets, and bolting things up keeps it pretty simple as...
