    E4OD Shift solenoid - 2wd or 4wd?

    Gotta replace my shift solenoid for my '93 E4OD, I know it has to be within the 89-94 for electrical reasons, but does it specifically have to be a 4wd or 2wd model solenoid? I've seen some listed as either or but it seems like it almost doesn't matter. My trucks a 4wd. Can anyone confirm that...

    Need Injector Pump Supplier

    Kind of more out of principle now that if you list a contact method on your business site that you should at least make an attempt to check it now and again..

    Need Injector Pump Supplier

    Tried to contact Classic Diesel Design about an injection pump a month ago and no response yet, contacted Mel @ Conestoga Diesel twice now over with the 1st and 2nd email being 3 weeks apart and its been over a month and no response. Do these guys just not respond to emails even though their...

    "Start terminal" on ignition switch? Wire color/location?

    Feel silly because I kinda figured it was here but ended up finally finding the red/light blue wire on the fender mount starter solenoid, but it was covered in a protective boot and under layers or wraps. Tried hooking up to it, even though it sends the ignition signal it still didn't engage...

    "Start terminal" on ignition switch? Wire color/location?

    Got a 1993 f250 7.3 idi with an E40D, finally took a leap of faith to get away from my failing transmission computer and other PSOM stuff and bought a US Shift trans computer. Hooked up all other leads just fine but am stuck looking for the ignition switch "start terminal" for my Neutral...

    injection pump replacement

    Yeah, unfortunately I'm a 7hr-8hr one way drive to the border, and it would be in my leaky truck, not going to happen haha. Borrowing someone else's vehicle could happen, but I'd have to take a day off work for that - losing money either way! The last couple large ticket items I've had thru...

    injection pump replacement

    Hi there, thanks for the reply. I do *not* have a turbo, it is a straight up stock 1993 F250 XLT 7.3L IDI w/ E40D. I don't really plan on adding a turbo or any gauges related (would love to, but alas, just can't do it now or in the near future). Basically just want/need a similar IP from my...

    injection pump replacement

    Thanks for the suggestions, exactly why I asked anyway - figured I was wrong... I've seen some forums and sites complaining about some reman pumps from stores like that but was unsure overall - really just going down a personal rabbit hole. Was checking over Conestoga Diesel Injection's site...

    injection pump replacement

    My old pump is leaking pretty bad, time to replace it off my '93 f250 7.3 idi e40d. Looking to purchase a reman one hopefully to save on some cost, probably from Rockauto unless their is another suggestion. Looking at this Delphi Stanadyne reman IP...

    high idle solenoid mod?

    I only did mine because my truck has the E40D, if it had the ZF5 (I wish) then I wouldn't have bothered. Diode method and bypassing the cold temp switch are wiring it two different methods though. Like the other boys said, pretty much just up to your own personal preference..

    high idle solenoid mod?

    Thanks yeah, that was a 'blond' moment. As soon as I got outside a big "DUH" moment hit me. Got it wired in and working as it should now, thanks guys!

    high idle solenoid mod?

    Hey for that temp switch workaround that you did, did you have the rocker switch power going to both of the temp switch wires (joined together)?

    EC-1 coolant in IDI?

    I just did my '93 IDI (stock rad) with the oldschool green Ford ESE-M97B44-A concentrate, supplemented with Motorcraft VC8 SCA (from rockauto.com). Mixing 50/50 is a nuisance but isn't too much of a pain as long as your patient & have proper safety gear/do it in a ventilated area. I saw lots of...

    high idle solenoid mod?

    This actually seems to be more of what I was kind of hoping to do, unfortunately I just did my cooling system & replaced that cold start temp switch without much thought :/ .. Sometimes I need to get going before the truck "is fully warmed up" & and I hate putting my E40D in gear while it has...

    high idle solenoid mod?

    Excellent, I figured there was a guide or something already out there. Will track down a diode and do 'er up, thanks!

    high idle solenoid mod?

    Anybody know if it'd be possible to unplug the high idle (cold start) solenoid and have it rigged to your own toggle switch other than being run by the system? Not sure if i'd change anything for the operation of the engine, other than of course having to have that feature as manual choice then...

    '93 F250 Rear Window Gasket

    That sounds about right, didn't think it was necessarily the main window gasket itself anyway. I rarely use it; will lube up the tracks and do as you suggest to see if it cuts the wind leakage out, thanks!

    93 E40d TPS Adjustment

    Thank you! There was some confusion in regards to the tps harness itself. The shop had it set a 1.88v, was shifting like a turd (knew something was up). Got it to 1.2v and now it's pretty good, thanks!

    93 E40d TPS Adjustment

    Hi there, noobie here so go easy :) Read thru the offical oil burners TPS adjustment post (https://www.oilburners.net/threads/whats-a-fipl.4134/) as well as many many other forums online to no avail. Post says wire A is reference, B is ground & C is the throttle signal with idle position...

    '93 F250 Rear Window Gasket

    Hi there, I have a '93 F250 XLT 7.3 IDI with the sliding glass back window that whistles/howls when it's closed going down the highway and it's driving me nuts. Yeah I could just crank up the tunes and avoid it, but sometimes it's nice to hear that IDI rumble :) I'm wondering if for my truck...
