    e4od torque converter shake when locking up

    well, heres an update, the engine was missin reeeeeeeal bad, probably hole in piston or rings totally gone, no compression. now i have a gasser, but since the other truck forums suck, im gonna ask my question here. i bet the diesel guys know more about gassers and e4ods anyways.

    Well that's good but in my experience there's always a few exhaust bolts atleast and possibly other bolts that will break

    engine missing bad

    Well I took the truck into diesel power here in nashville,tn. Zero compression in number three cylinder. Not sure if I want to take the head off and deal with replacing studs and all that to find out what's wrong exactly. I may be going back to a gasser if I can get anything for this truck. I...

    engine missing bad

    what is the difference between the straight arm pumps and the crooked arm pumps? the crooked arm seems like an easier install, does it matter which one i get?

    engine missing bad

    i'll call later. I am wondering if thier is any definitive way to tell whether its the fuel pump or the IP. I do seem to have a pool of diesel in the valley pan most times, and I just replaced the cdr with a used one, but i couldnt get the cdr riser tube out of the pan so I just pushed it in and...

    engine missing bad

    not sure if it matters but I have diesel in the oil. quite a bit actually more than doubles the oil level on the dipstick. Also the past few days when I am idling and rolling the oil gauge needle drops all the way down and ounces. p m sent

    i will try loosening the ijectors, but I did that when I replaced the return lines to bleed it and there was no change on any of them. the thing runs so it cant bo all the injectors, right???

    engine missing bad

    In the past 2 months I have replaced batts., alt, regulator, TPS, cleaned vss, tach sensor is new, brake booster and master, power steering gear and pump and one hose. I have adjusted the tps as well because it gave absolutely no change at all upon replacement

    could it be my timing? the local diesel shop wants $84 per hour for diagnosis and work.....

    engine missing bad

    i guess so. Its my first diesel, and im not familiar with these symptoms. What lead me to think TC was it shifts fine when its too cold for the converter to engage, then when it does it bucks and jumps all over the place in O/D, so i turn it off and it happens less, I can still feel it in 1st...

    engine missing bad

    fuel is leaking from the caps for the return line. it was all the time, now it is intermittant??? also yesterday I had "surging" except it felt like the miss was gone, but it could have just been runnin away on oil. im about to put a used cdr in to see if that helps all the lines are warm, and...

    engine missing bad

    Well, I thought I had either a bad torque converter or bad trans (e4od) and took the truck to a trans shop. the guy drove it.....He said He can replace the converter but it wont fix it. I have an engine miss. possibly injector(s), IP, or valve spring(s). There is some diesel leaking, i just...

    Viton orings

    but not between the injectors and the IP, correct?

    Viton orings

    I am very cofused now. I thought the only o rings are the two on each injector. There are o-rings on the fuel lines themselves?

    e-brake repair

    FWIW my e brake wasnt connected to the pedal for both sides, and then I connected it, pushed it down and it locked in the on position. I had to take the rear drums off to loosen it just to drive
