    Need help with Bleeding new IP & Injectors...

    Hey Y'all, Just wondering if anyone can help me find the service interval, maintenance and diagnostic procedures for Garett turbochargers? I recently bought a 97 F-250 with 7.3L Turbo & Intercooler with about 160,000 miles (210,000 km). I don't know if it has any issues but I lost a previous...

    WTB: Transfer Case and Rear Diff Kit for 93 F-350

    Hey Guys, I have a 93 F-350 w/ 5 Spd with a nasty vibration around 90 to 100 km/hr. This is my Plow Truck so it has to run right and be as reliable as it can be. Have eliminated driveshaft, CV's and tires as source of vibration. Pinion nut keeps coming loose and I just had the input shaft...

    Diesel vs Gas - Auto Transmissions

    Hey Guys, I have buddy with a 96 F-250 powerstroke which needs a auto transmission and I happen to have one from a 90 F-250 gasser to swap - an E4OD I expect. So will my 90 auto gas-trans fit his 96 auto diesel? Or will it just rattle it to pieces?? Is there a specific version of the E4OD...

    E40D Shift Problems when Cold

    My 92 F-250 is having difficulty shifting from second to third when it's cold (-15C and below). It does shift normally most of the time when it's warmer but shifts are often very sharp (not gentle). Tranny was rebuilt last year with a HD shift kit so I expect the shifts to be crisp but not...

    Thermostat Swap - 192 vs 203 deg F?

    Hey Guys, My heater core is just not putting out enough btu's although both the supply and return hoses are warm so I'm thinking my Thermostat is in need of replacement. I checked with the Ford dealer and the OEM T'stat is rated to open at 192F and I've been reading on other sites where folks...

    Hello again, I'm repowering my Plow Truck and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for Rear Lockers for a 93 F-350? How can I tell what differential set-up I have? I don't typically run chains and I usually carry about 500+ lbs. of concrete patio blocks for ballast. I was thinking...

    Swapping out a 7.3 for a 6.9

    Hello, Just found another potential engine to replace my seized 7.3L turbo version. The donor is an 87 F-250 6.9L IDI N/A. I would guess the exhaust will need to be revamped for the non-turbo set-up. The engine is on the shop floor and has a bunch of new gaskets installed and other...

    How can I check an 7.3L IDI Engine that's on the shop floor?

    Hey Guys, I found a 7.3L IDI Non-Turbo as a potential replacement for a seized power plant in my 93 F-350. My original engine was a turbo version where this one is normally aspirated. So the exhaust will have to be revamped, which is no biggie. I talked with a guy who's selling a unit with...

    The Gear Hunter - E40D Shifting Problem

    Hey Guys, I have a 93 F-250 with auto tranny that can't seem to make up its mind which gear to be in under light load. It's constantly jumping from 3-2-3-2 as I drive around town, so I either have to put my foot in it or back-off entirely. Transmission was recently rebuilt. The NPS looks...
