    Installing engine and trans together.

    I've pulled and installed many idi engines. Curious about pulling/installing them with the ZF5 attached? I have lots of lifting power/reach and means of support. Im doing an install of both engine and trans in the bush soon without means of a decent jack or decent ground to work on. The...

    C1145 RF Wheel speed sensor code

    1999 F550 4x4. So im getting an ABS light on (I couldn't care less about ABS but for inspection purposes the light has to cycle within spec/not be on) and a code C1145. Both front wheel sensors along with the hub assemblies have been replaced, no change. I replaced the plug on the harness...

    Extended range, midship fuel tank options

    DT-466C exhaust brake

    Does anyone have an exhaust brake on a C model DT466? Pre 1990-ish. They have a max rated back pressure of 32psi, due to the valve springs. Curious if it's even worth it to install an ex brake with such low allowable back pressure, where other engines have allowable back pressure of 45+ psi.

    Powermaster starter "specialty" install tool

    For those that run the Powermaster 9051 in their PSD's, you know the challenge of trying to access the top mounting bolt with a socket/extention/wrench/universal etc. I find that a wrench bent like this one, works really nice when reaching in from the wheel well, to access that top bolt. I...

    E4OD, part found on the bottom of the pan. What is it?

    1992 7.3 F450. Every gear position on the column shifter, except P, results in forward motion of the truck. Park holds the truck, RND21 ALL go forward. Trans shifts thru the gears as it should when left in D. I had assumed a seized, broken or somehow messed up forward drum/clutch unit, if...

    Riffraff Up pipes

    It's been a while since I have bought up pipes. I recall hearing about Riffraff being out of stock on SD 7.3 up pipe kits a while back and it seems to be the case on their website. Does anyone know the estimated wait time or if they actually are still selling them? If not, where's everyone...

    6.9 intake valve question

    Had an 85 6.9 develop a sudden and consistent, rpm dependent intake "chuff". The same chuffing that's usually related to a sticking lifter or a bad guide. Since it was consistent and didn't go away like a sticking lifter chuff often does, I figured that it would likely be a broken rocker or...

    Fuel pressure regulator suggestions.

    What are the current recommendations for a decent fuel pressure regulator? Currently running a couple e-pumps that are delivering 6-9psi. Would like to regulate down to 6 max. I don't need a gauge or anything on the reg as I already run pressure gauges in the cabs, just looking for a...

    GB REMANUFACTURING Injector install kits, the caps don't seal. FYI

    Just a word of caution that the GB REMANUFACTURING, part number 7003 Injector install kits (for 6.9l) include caps that do not seal. They are way too loose fitting. I install several return line kits a year and sometimes try new brands that become available in search for the best quality...

    GB Remanufacturing valve cover harneses

    I have only ever used Motorcraft valve cover gaskets and harnesses on powerstrokes, but I recently bought 2 set of GB Remanufacturing 99-03 7.3, new in the box harnesses at an estate sale of a Ford mechanic, for next to nothing. Any horror stories with GB Remanufacturing? I might give them a shot.

    Source for Motorcraft TPS sensor?

    It seems as if the TPS sensors are getting harder to find, especially the sensor alone without the entire pedal assembly. Does anyone have a source for Motorcraft sensors? The dealer can't even get them here without buying the entire pedal assembly, and that ain't cheap. $760Cad.

    E4od, not shifting out of first.

    Interesting E4OD issue. No codes, FIPL set to 1.25ish Volts, Recent MLPS (aligned via the mark), VSS/speedo working flawlessly, tach working good. Plug is clean and no corroded wires, same with the MLPS plug. After the trans is in park and you shift to drive, the trans will not shift out of...

    Stumbled across a few quarts of Amsoil Syncromesh on my shelf that I once bought for an NV4500 GM, that I never ended up using. Im due for a fluid change on a ZF-S542 that has some worn syncros and wondering if anyone has had good results. I have heard rumors that it's good stuff. I always...

Too shed light on the lack luster workmanship and spread the knowledge on whats decent and whats not. This time around, it's water pumps that im talking about. I installed 3 Gates 44018 water...
