    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    I've got three fuel filters behind the back seat. The one on the engine I put on recently with only a thousand miles on it or so. At home I have everything to install a carrier electric fuel pump plus a racor fuel filter / separator prior to the pump, just did not have time to install that...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    Hmmm that turned out better than I expected by using my phone to take the picture and then mark it up to show the sensor. Are there any other sensors that the E4OD uses that could go bad other than the tps and tach sensor? I may as well go ahead and replace them if so. Thanks, John Z Sent...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    Yeah, the guy at the dealership could not find a tach sensor pickup, even though that was what was on the package lable. Since I had seen it listed as a cam position sensor, I asked him to look that up and he found it right away. Here is the front of the engine with the sensor highlighted...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    No, I have an idi engine with the standyne db2 fuel pump. When I searched for the sensor, both Rock Auto and the dealership had it listed as a camshaft position sensor, not a tachometer pickup sensor. The sensor screwed into the gear cover in front of the fuel pump under the edge of the...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    I managed to fix the transmission bogging down, engine staking out when coming down to a stop. I noticed that every time this happened that the tachometer would have stopped to zero when showing down to come to a stop. I found a ford dealer that had the cam position sensor is sick and replaced...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    Received a call from them during lunch, but bad line so I stopped in the shop on the way back to the Data Center. Overall I was fairly impressed. While they did have the following laundry list of items that needs to be fixed, they did not give me any grief for wanting to do the work myself...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    The guy at the shop was pretty adamant that the oil they put in was a lot better than using the Mercon ATF. But by the time I walked the half mile from the shop over to the Data Center where I am working for the two weeks while I am out here in Colorado, I could not remember what weight oil he...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    Just dropped the truck of at the shop. Could not duplicate the noise, even tried going out of od on the freeway when I ran into rush hour standstill traffic. Slowed right down without any noises. Had a discussion with the shop about what oil they put in the transfer case. They said they used...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    Hmmm. I did have od turned off by pressing the button on the shift lever on each of those hills, both going up hill to gear down to keep revs up around 2500 and going down hill for engine braking. I'll have to try stopping in both modes tomorow to see what happens. What is the best fluid to...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    O.K. So, if it is the coast clutch in the trans, what would be the risk in driving back to Utah with it in this condition, or is that something that could leave me (plus the wife and four kids) stranded on the side of the road? Really, I am trying to be optimistic here and hope to make it...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    I'll admit that not checking the t-case / differential fluids for 8 years was not very smart, even though I have probably only put 5-10k miles (If that even) on the truck in that time frame, and I just pulled it out of storage last year where it sat for four years. Checked about everything else...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    I hear ya. If I were at home, I would just do all of this in the garage, but the issue I have is that the Hotel will not allow me to work on the truck in their parking lot, then by the time I drive up to DIY Auto Repair, spend the time going to the parts store etc. etc. those are hours that I...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    I called Excel Diesel Service this morning and they said that they had a "4 Wheel Drive Service" for about $300 which included a drain / refill of both differentials and the transfer case. Additionally I found an "All American Four Wheel Drive" shop less than 1/2 mile from the office location I...

    94 F350 Transfer Case Problems

    I have just pulled a U-Haul trailer from the SLC Utah area up and over the Rockies into the Denver Area. This is a business trip where I am replacing a lot of servers in our DR data center out here and I used my 94 F350 to haul a bunch of equipment out here... Along the way out here on any...

    Coolant temps.

    I had the same question as I found the snot at Oreilleys but did not see a need for such a large jar for my uses.

    Coolant temps.

    Yes, there is a gasket that comes with the OEM Motorcraft thermostat. There is a Tech 101 article here on OBN with step by step pictures. I just read through it and got a t-stat from a dealer by the office I work at. They wanted $25 for it, but I talked them down to $20 after tax. I plan to...

    Timing Meter Availability

    Before buying my meter, I had my engine timed by ear and it ran as you described. I just did not know what I was doing yet, and could not get it to run right. After getting the meter, I found it was about 10 degrees atdc. Once set to 8 deg BTDC, it runs right up past 3300. Sent from my ASUS...

    How long can it sit for?

    My 7.3 sat in storage for nearly 3 years. charged the batteries and it started right up no problems. I doubt it had to even turn over twice before starting. I had put in a double dose of fuel additive and topped the tanks off to help fight off condensation in the tanks. A few weeks should...

    Hopefully the shop that replaced the radiator put in the right water / antifreze mix. I think that they said they only used a Fleet brand pre-mixed antifreeze by the bottle, but that was about 4 years ago. I do not recall having to add any coolant since that time. The company that rebuilt...

    I have carved out the entire weekend to work on my truck. The IP, injectors and return lines have about 2-3k miles on them. On my way to work I realized that I was passing a couple of miles from the shop that installed them, so I stopped and had a nice chat with the guys who did the work. I...

    the radiator and fan clutch were the first to be replaced. The clutch does kick in. The shop that did the radiator said they used the proper coolant pre-charged with sca's. When the fan kicks in, it makes a slipping belt noise when it does and is really loud. Works good unless the grade is...

    I think that answers the question then... that product does not belong in our trucks then. What is the condition of the radiator when taken out? Thanks Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4

    Actually I was asking both questions. Just about all I could find on the internet was from race forums where they were not allowed to run coolant in case of a spill on the track. It was added to distilled water and helped to keep temps lower on the track vs straight water. The other posts...

    Well I feel sheepish, I spent the last couple of days searching for sca and the correct thermostat with near zero luck. For some reason I never thought about the dealership. Yes I have been having overheat problems when pulling a load up a steep grade. I've got a 1000 mile (total) trip...
