    Does a fuel sending unit need to be 'rust inhibited' before re-installing?

    I should put some air in the lines to see if anything leaks.. But there don't appear to be any pin holes. (the lines look fairly uniform). I was just wondering if a coat of POR15 or Mastercoat would help, hinder, be overkill..

    Does a fuel sending unit need to be 'rust inhibited' before re-installing?

    Hydro-blasted the (original) sending unit to remove 30+ years of accumulated rust, and now it looks really good. With all the rust gone, I was wondering if the unit needs to be sprayed with some sort of primer, rust inhibitor, or epoxy coating to prevent it from getting nasty again.. Or is...

    Trouble finding fuel sender for early 90's E-350.

    Thanks! It looks like they have ones for 22 gallon tanks, I have a 35 gallon tank. I will be calling them tomorrow, and seeing what I can find out. I came across Nick Pisca's solution of using an aftermarket unit, with some modification to it...

    Trouble finding fuel sender for early 90's E-350.

    Hey all.. The fuel sender on my 1994 E-350 has gone bad..and I am not having any luck finding a replacement. Anyone have any pointers on where to find a fuel sender for an 1994 E350 Van..? (even better if it's from an ambulance) Or work-arounds to get something to work? Original Part#...

    how to go on with my E4OD

    This may be redundant, and unnecessary but if you have the time.. There is a YouTube channel where a shop dismantles transmissions, and the mechanic talk about each step, points out potential flaws and points of failure, and provides detail (Precision Transmission) He has done several E4OD's...

    Saw this at an auction today.

    I remember way back in the days of the 'dot.com' bubble, when companies went out of business and their equipment was auctioned off.. crazy behaviors, when compared to rational actions.. there have been articles about it. like this one...

    Anybody near WNC to help with timing?

    On the off chance.. Maybe call a Navistar/International dealer in your area?

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    Thanks @trackspeeder . So that would affect overdrive? and not the first 3 gears?

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    It shifted at around 45 mph. pretty smoothly, no hunting. I'll check all the connections, hit them with some electrical contact cleaner

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    I really hope it is something like a worn wire somewhere.. rather than rings or valves.. I replaced the solenoid pack about a year ago.. and the injectors are were replaced very recently. Would timing mess with overdrive performance?

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    That doesn't sound like it's going to be a simple fix.

    Engine Issue or Torque Converter issue?

    Finally got around to taking the truck out after the last problematic run I posted about. This time I was driving during the day, without rain, and with the bad injector replaced. I googled the issue I am having, and some results point to the engine, others say torque converter. VEHICLE...

    Fuel is accumulating on the Valley Pan

    I know it is not the return lines.. so it may be the filter connection.. To get a better view.. Is spraying brake cleaner on the line connections to the the pump (to clean off grime) a bad idea?

    Fuel is accumulating on the Valley Pan

    I have a puddle of diesel fuel that builds up on the valley pan. (then ends up dripping off the starter) I am hoping to find where the leak might be coming from. (Puddle only after the engine has been running, and there are no signs of air intrusion) There is some grime and grease built up on...

    What's my '93 7.3 IDI E-350 Ambulance/Motorhome worth?

    @Gr8ful , due to covid and the 'van life', movement, prices have gone bananas. Ambulances have a certain cool factor as well. Particularly with the under 30 crowd. instagram has loads for accounts with them.. Is this a type III or a van? Check facebook market place for private sale...

    What's a fair price?

    just for point of comparison.. I took a look at Craigslist.. I looked in Nevada since you said the truck was from that area (take a look at your area to see whats happening.) https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/d/las-vegas-1991-ford-250-4x4/7356826077.html 1991, 200K miles, turbo, $6k and...

    E4OD from Monster Transmission for my 1993

    Do IDI's make enough horsepower/torque to need a multi-clutch TC?

    E4OD woes.. (torque converter shudder?, and then some.. )

    The set is from one of the providers often recommended on here.. I will change out the cap and o-rings, and see what happens, as well as take a look at the ruptured cap.

    E4OD woes.. (torque converter shudder?, and then some.. )

    UPDATE Last night was the first time I was able to look into things. There was a puddle of diesel on the floor by the gas pedal. There was fuel along the valve cover flange.. What I thought was a leaking injector cap on #8 turned out to be an actual HOLE in the injector cap, that was...

    E4OD woes.. (torque converter shudder?, and then some.. )

    Is it possible that with the new injectors, the timing is very retarded? (haven't changed out the IP yet) and it just feels like a TC issue? and the VSS is just a coincidental thing?

    Somebody better buy this truck!

    After the auction is completed.. we should all print a copy of the final bid, and keep it in a save place. Then, if anything happens to our vehicle, we take it out of the file, show it to the insurance adjuster, and point. "Don't try to low ball me. I know what I have, and what it's...
