Dana 60 Front Axle inner seal and spindle question
Ok, so I'm going through and replacing front wheel bearings, seals, etc on my 93 F350 IDI 4wd. Ran in to a couple "man, I wish I had some advice on this" moments. Here we go, let's see what ya'll got: 1. Inside the diff, after removing the gears, there was this orange rtv-type stuff around the...- Fort Ford

Engine Starts Then Dies
I had a very similar issue and Russ on this site helped me figure out it was the check valve in the lift pump allowing the fuel to drain back. I had enough fuel in the filter/injector lines to start up and run for a bit, and then it sputtered out. Would start back up after cranking enough to get...- Fort Ford

Pillar post gauges '94 F350 crewcab 7.3 idiT
Ha, that's funny. I got the glowshift pod as well and also was disappointed with the fit. I actually ended up removing my factory piece, which required some cutting as the pod piece didn't fully cover it. I also ended up cutting the pod molding in a few places to get it to fit right. I didn't...- Fort Ford

E4OD Fresh Rebuild Still Have Issues
Yeah you definitely need to get that TPS/FIPL fixed. Same problem on mine. When the OD light is flashing it's in "limp mode" and it'll trash your tranny rebuild in a hurry. Same problem on mine, whenever it is flashing I stop, shut it down, and go wiggle the wiring harness, and then it works...- Fort Ford

Cab Water leak . . . .
I like to use a garage door replacement weather seal, goes on the bottom of your garage door. Any hardware store will have a pack for less than $15, usually one pack will get you 2 vehicles done. I run it along the entire length of the cowl instead of the short section the normal cowl seal...- Fort Ford

After years of idi ownership...
From what I know about the Snap-On Lumy/Mag2 that I picked up from an old mechanic for $150, these type of timing systems only work with gas engines if they support the magnetic pickup instead of the luminosity probe. My snap-on has a magnetic adapter that fits into a port found on most gas...- Fort Ford

Parking break
It's been said already, but start at the back and work your way forward, that's the order of likeliness of failure. Cable failure far more common than pedal failure, and drum hardware failure is just a matter of time. You may not even notice that your rear brakes aren't working if your front are...- Fort Ford

Blueish white smoke when accelerating
So with my truck I had to replace the CDR, and that helped. But after awhile the white smoke got worse. Turns out my IP was thrashed. It ran fine at first, probably low on power but I didn't notice cuz first time with this engine/truck. But after hauling some weight and putting it to work it got...- Fort Ford

Manual fuel tank selector valves.
Just use the existing electric switch on the dash and wire in a basic switch relay or use the FSV's existing switch. I haven't looked at it so I dunno how it works exactly but it should be relatively doable to just wire it up. Sure, two switches have to be operated to have accurate fuel. But...- Fort Ford

E4OD torque converter questions
So I added a bottle of lubegard and drove it for work today. 1st thing I noticed is that the shifter lever is way easier to move between gears. It was actually pretty difficult to move before and I just assumed that was due to the heavy duty rebuild that was done. But it was immediately easier...- Fort Ford

E4OD torque converter questions
I was thinking about doing a pan drop/torque converter drain, inspect everything, repair the pan bolt that's stripped, and maybe adding an external inline filter and then refilling with a good quality atf. I've been leaning towards redline d4 because I've heard a handful of people say they had...- Fort Ford

E4OD torque converter questions
Yeah, when I feel the tq lock the rpm's drop a little, which I believe is what is supposed to happen. It does not vibrate from initial takeoff all the way through second gear. As soon as I hit 3rd less than a second later I feel the tq lock, rpm drops a little, and it starts the vibration...- Fort Ford

E4OD torque converter questions
Oh, trans temps are usually around 160-220 depending on what I'm doing. Oil isn't burnt or low. No warning lights. Ran the code test and there weren't any codes. Unless you have to read the trans codes separately since this is the old obd1 system? I have a lot of old fords so I have the little...- Fort Ford

E4OD torque converter questions
I'll put the TL:DR at the top for quicker answers. Long version below, mostly for me to write it all down somewhere because it's been bouncing in my head all day like a damn pachinko machine. There is a slight vibration when my torque converter locks up. I've read the searches and done the...- Fort Ford

My electric fuel pump dual with manual setup. And alternative.
Sorry to bring this back to life but I've been contemplating this type of mod. I'm wondering why you felt it was important to have them in parallel instead of inline like seems to be more common? I've seen lots of people add an electric pump before the mechanical pump, and I've seen at least one...- Fort Ford
