    What's it all worth?

    Looking at doing a 7.3 PSD swap into my IDI.. and may have found a possible Donor truck that has a 7.3 powerstroke with 230xxx kms on it and zf5 manual. Just wondering what all my parts may be worth and if anyone would be interested in the various components if I did decide to go through with...

    Having very similar issues, I have 2 frost plug block heaters installed and if I plug both in it fires right up, but sometimes it will die but then fire up and run fine on second start. If I only plug one block heater in it will like icanfixall said stumble to life kicking and bucking trying to...

    D60 swap? Or is there a way to adjust the lifted OBS toe in?

    alright I just wasn't sure if you could adjust camber angle at all with the factory ball joints, thanks for confirming. What companies will i be able to source the offset/adjustable ball joints from? I used all MOOG front end parts.

    D60 swap? Or is there a way to adjust the lifted OBS toe in?

    We just eye balled the wheel alignment in the shop LOL I'll do a proper one on the machine at the college as soon as i get this front end sorted out. So you would just have to change the bottom U joint to an offset one to bring the bottom of the steering knuckle out to correct the camber...

    D60 swap? Or is there a way to adjust the lifted OBS toe in?

    Hey guys, After putting the 4" Rough Country lift onto my f-250 with the TTB front end I noticed how bad the wheels are toed in. A wheel alignment fixed the side to side pigeon toe, but is there any adjustment to bring the top or bottom of the wheels in and out? Second question, what all...

    How about stacks?

    I personally love the look of stacks on an OBS ford, I wouldn't have put anything else on my truck. Stacks definately have their place... 5-6" stacks look great, then there are the retards who put on 8....10" stacks that ruin it for people. But after spending 9 months building my truck frame up...

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    I changed the whole manual level position sensor, and used the 94' harness complete. Now have 3rd gear! Sorry OLDBULL, was trying to explain on my blackberry while i was at work. There is a aprox. 1" x 2"x 4" box that says "Coast Clutch Controller", it hooks up to the solenoid pack plug in.

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    Posted the wrong picture on left. Is the one with larger oval shaped plug in (very bottom on digram) an updated module? And does it interchange and work the same. Because then I would just change the module and everything would work no cutting and splicing involved.

    94' 7.3 IDI Build Update

    I like the lift, 4" is a nice height. It still looks plenty high but its still very usable for fifth wheel towing. Only thing is with the lift springs the angle of the Twin Trac beam in the front is much different making the front wheel toe'd in quite a bit. Now maybe there is some adjustment on...

    94' 7.3 IDI Build Update

    That was my highschool build, when I was 16. 99' Sierra Classic that I picked up at an auction for $1800 with a rebuilt motor with 60k on it. Added 3" Body lift, 2" susp lift, 305/70s, dual 2 1/2" exhaust, shorty headers, K&N intake, and replaced brakes, rear diff, rad, water pump, distributor...

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    No kidding, not like I tried every other possible thing before I realized what the problem was.. Its a learning experience that's for sure, an expensive one! What's the difference between the connector for drivers side module from my 93 trans harness to the other one, my best bet might be just...

    94' 7.3 IDI Build Update

    Not sure on the turbo yet, maybe just an upgraded compressor wheel.. But with how I have the wastegate shortened I can touch on 15 psi boost. I also thought about a typ4 cam, and then there's crazy idea's of shaving pistons.. Doing the heads. Just want to prove to everybody that you can make...

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    I just tore the trans wiring harness apart, and CONFIRMED that indeed the purple wire is for shift solenoid #2 and the blue wire is "transmission range sensor" that goes to 8 pin connector on driver side module. NOW, I can either try to to find those 2 wires somewhere in the vehicle harness...

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    I guess its more of a "solenoid pack", the one on the passenger side of the transmission, with the 9 pin connector. But might have an idea... the wiring harness on the truck is from a 94' f-250 2 wheel drive factory turbo that had an e4od also (used the body and turbo from this truck), while...

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    I drained the fluid, replaced the filter, and put in another clutch pack from a transmission I had around (which shifted for sure), and still have the same problem. Still first 2 shifts are good and the rpms drop right down almost like its skipping a shift, Running out of ideas... Possibly a...

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    I have replaced the steering column, along with the shift lever as the Knob was broke off and OD was not working in the parts truck. But it should still shift into 3rd instead of skipping it, even with the button on.

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    I adjusted the existing FIPL numerous times and picked up a new one, put it on, and adjusted it atleast a dozen times within 1.05-1.1 V at idle and beween 3.8 - 4.3V at WOT. I have good shifts between one and 2 and it shifts at the right time between 2 and 3, but instead of going into 3rd it is...

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    Thanks CaptTom, i had tested the FIPL before and my volts were way out, so i did replace it with one from another pump I had. When I'm making adjustments am I just moving the side with the longer slot or on the other side?

    e4od shifting issues after truck rebuild

    The truck is a 1993/94 ford f-250 7.3 IDI turbo diesel. Gears are 4:10s and I went up to 315/75 tires (35s). The tranny was rebuilt and has around 5000k on it. I used a wiring harness from a 94' 2wd factory turbo that also had an e4od. Also the truck has a moose pump on it. So after finishing...

    94' 7.3 IDI Build Update

    Well haven't posted anything about the build in quite some time figured I'd make a new thread, the progress has been very slow, but its coming along. Since my last thread: -Installed Front and Rear Diffs (along with replacing every U-Joint, Bearing, and Seal I possibly could) -New Front...
