    Transmission Acting up when it's Cold

    His signature shows,that he has a '93 pickup.The trans code for the E4OD is "E" on the driver door jam sticker and takes Mercon (superseded with Mercon 5) spec fluid.The E4OD is pretty easy to spot.It's very large.Has a big sensor (range) under the shift linkage,an electric bulkhead connector on...

    Transmission Acting up when it's Cold

    Wont do you any good I'm afraid.It's not a corrosion/dirty issue.When the range sensor fails,it's internals have "worn out" so to speak.

    Champion Radiators for the IDI

    I went with the autozone/spectra w/ the plastic tanks.Yup.It looks cheap.Lifetime warranty and being local though.No costly shipping hassles,when it fails lol. The saddest part about it all,is they're smogging up China.......for trash!

    Transmission Acting up when it's Cold

    Your issues are not a failing Range Sensor.Replacing it wouldn't gain you anything.Those are more along the lines of a faulty TPS.I would suspect faulty wiring if your sure,that the TPS (formerly called FIPL) is set correctly. TIP: If your having constant issues with shift timing,and can't seem...

    Transmission Acting up when it's Cold

    I'm 99.9% sure your issue will be resolved with the new range sensor.There's no need to downgrade to a ZF5 anytime soon.;)

    Bingo.;Sweet This Ford version lasts.Unlike the aftermarket ones.I'll only use Motorcraft sensors now,after poor results from aftermarket. Also,this is the updated version and unlike the aftermarket,it comes with full instructions on how to re-pin for the update. If your clip simply connects to...

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    Oh man.Sounds like your in for lots and lots of wrenching.Vehicles left sitting for long periods like this,usually take forever and a day to bring back again.Best of luck! p.s. Next time,don't forget that prenup!:D (or better still,be smart like me and don't let there be a next time lol!)...

    Remote mount filter..

    That's the one I used.The problem is,you still need a filter mount. That's where it gets pricey (if you want to use oem threads). This is all I wanted for running a very cost effective aux oil cooler: But no.They can't make one of those.That would be too easy.:D

    Avg coolant temp 6.9

    You either have a faulty gauge or your getting very unlucky and getting dud t-stats. You can have a locked up fan but if the t-stat is set to 190F then that's going to be your temp. How's the heat in the cab? Does it heat you right out? If so,I would suspect a faulty gauge.Don't have one of...

    You explained it correctly.;Sweet My trucks (both 7.3l na blocks) boost 13 lbs. 7* BTDC.

    Avg coolant temp 6.9

    You also have a bad t-stat or bad gauge/sending unit.No time once up to temp (at the very least 190F) can it ever drop below this, with a properly working t-stat.
