    is there anyway to tell if my DMF is good? it looks ok, im going to get it resurfaced but im not familiar with this setup to know if the springs are good or not. it does have some movement on the plate side to side. after taking the flexplate off from the e4od i discovered its bone dry back...

    Diesel jet boat idea

    just read that, this guys pretty amazing and makes me want to try casting aluminum, but did you notice his homemade manifold were only 1 3/4" pipe? that seems wayyyy to small to let these engines breathe. on a side note, anyone got good ideas for melting aluminum for castings??? :D

    brakes

    no i did not, im doing the 2 person one pumps while another bleeds method and its hard to tell the other person when to pump and when to hold over the sound of my truck, dual glass packs dont quiet it down much.

    e4od to c6

    hello, well i think im just about done with this dumb e4od transmission, i found a cheap used diesel C6 and was wondering how hard of a conversion it would be. i believe my 1356 transfer case would bolt up, im not sure about driveshaft length. also, how hard is it to plumb the vacuum modulator...

    zf5 conversion help

    IIRC, yes that is an adapter plate, they put it on because they switched from thick cast flexplates like your flywheel to stamped steel ones with the ring gear welded on, which where obviously much skinnier. now as far as taking it off, have you tried tapping it with a hammer? dont pound it, but...

    94' 7.3 IDI high pressure oil switch failure will shut down engine?

    that definitely sounds like a powerstroke, if the oil cuts out it kills the motor as oil pressure is what pops the injectors. i believe your owner doesnt know what motor it has, the powerstroke was introduced in the later half of 94.

    TPS

    hello, in my ever-failing quest to get my e4od out of limp mode, i bought and installed a new TPS as the old one was reading 1.2v-4.0v instead of the 4.5v its supposed to read at WOT. however, after installing the new TPS i am getting the same readings. i even tried adjusting it all the way up...

    Omnibus Mechanical Restoration Act of 2009

    did your automatic driveshafts work or did you have to buy new ones? ive got the e4od and was wondering if they would work, im not sure if the zf5 transmission is shorter/longer or not.

    more e4od trouble

    in the chiltons manual it says the throttle needs to be depressed to check the codes or it will set a code 23, which it did until i stepped on the throttle. im checking the codes by hooking a test light into the port under the hood and counting the flashes. yes the fluid level is where it should be.

    more e4od trouble

    i pulled the codes, there arent any. all i get is a 111 then a long pause and another 111. at first i was getting 23 then i remembered you have to hold the throttle at WOT. i also unhooked the cables and let it sit for about 20 mins, that didnt change it either.
