Good advice on all fronts, thank you.
The motor currently spins freely with no noise (and seemed to have some compression), so I'm hopeful that I didn't do too much damage. If I did bend a rod then it's going to get interesting.
Easy for you maybe :cool:
I'll be down there again to look at it before I do this job . . . so I'll better assess whether my sliding theory makes any sense. You're right that T-Case movement might be an issue.
I've got a meaty transmission jack with straps and everything that rolls pretty well . . . I'll have everything ready to go for this, but my hope is that i don't have to start bringing that thing down and I can just slide everything back.
The last time I installed a transmission (4l80e) I...
In the other thread they talk about the ether - glow plug thing as if it is common knowledge . . . I assure you it wasn't common knowledge to me (though it makes sense in hindsight) - though I'll never forget now.
Do you need to drop them, or do you think it might be possible to just remove the...
I was using starting fluid (ether) and glow plugs to start my IDI, and apparently that's a bad idea. ( https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1368316-1984-ford-f250-idi-automatic-transmission-adapter.html ). I seem to have facilitated the engine deciding to spin the opposite direction against the...
You sir, are a hero.
Like I said, I tried to rebuild a trans using detailed videos and yada yada . . . and it was failing after 2k miles (but I do take some satisfaction in the fact that it did work well enough for me to drive it around and tow something with the truck . . . which means I...
XOLATEM, oh, and I used the B&M shift kit - which a lot of people said wasn't worth the effort (it is a very basic kit that seems to not do much - but I haven't had the transmission working properly the whole time, so I'm probably not the right one to assess it) - but I was in there and was...
XOLATEM,
Thank you for the thorough analysis. Having (badly) rebuilt a 4L80e before (it was drivable, but I believe the shaft bearing somehow unseated itself, causing havoc . . . which resulted in an ~$5k learning experience) I figured the part was something important, and ultimately meant the...
My C6 is shifting into 2nd at 10mph, and 3rd at 15mph - I'm working through the possibilities, but have a basic question that I don't think has been covered.
For background: I've replaced the filter and fluid (Type F) (neither filter nor fluid looked bad - but this did come out of the pan -...
Looking forward to the concluding report on this. Your symptoms are my truck exactly . . . and I've gone through about 1/2 of what you have. I think I have 7 working glow plugs (ZD28). One is broke, bad, and completely stuck (as in have to pull the head - no getting out with any type of e-z...
