    E40D slow TC lockup

    Update on this thread. Finally got some time this past weekend to tackle this trans. Changed fuid, filter, and solinod pack. It now shifts like a new transmission. I have driven it all week and so far so good. When I get some time I'll do some bench testing on the old solinod pack. Solinod pack...

    E40D slow TC lockup

    Yes I did flush the cooler. That's pretty neat that it uses a pressure drop to squeeze the lockup clutch. I will inspect my cooler lines and may flush again while I have the pan down. When I dragged the truck out of the bushes I intended to replace the trans. However when I pulled the...

    E40D slow TC lockup

    Ah, the history of this auto tragic. PO installed it as a used "low mileage" unit. Drove it for a while till it quit moving. PO parked it and I got hold of the truck after it sat for about 5 years. I found that the input shaft had split the aluminum planetary. I put in a steel planetary and new...

    E40D slow TC lockup

    I don't feel like it's a us shift issue. I am hoping the solenoid pack will cure it. When it arrives and I install it I will report back if it helped.

    E40D slow TC lockup

    I am reading temp directly from the controller and confirming it with a gauge. The quickshift is commanding lockup. Just no lockup happening for about 10 miles. Once hot (170) it has no problem locking up.

    E40D slow TC lockup

    Yes I am live monitoring. The controller has a screen on it and tells me when it is commanding TC lockup. I have checked the tuning software and it is set at 110 deg. The fluid temp is about 170 by the time it actually locks in.

    E40D slow TC lockup

    Any theories as to why my TC only locks up after it is hot (170deg) or so and 10 miles down the road. I have a quickshift 4 baumann controller and it is commanding lockup. No fault codes. I also did a line pressure test and I have 170psi going down the road. Line pressure doesn't change when the...

    AC Experts, Weird Issue

    If your blockage was from sitting I would be worried your problem will reoccur. I would want to flush the system out, especially from the office tube back to the compressor. Re-inspecting the orfice tube will give you some clue as to how much contamination is in there. It effectively acts like a...

    How to set the timing on your 6.9 or 7.3 IDI and how to buy timing equipment.

    If you make it to northeastern North Carolina I can hook you up. I was only 1 deg off by ear when I checked with the proper tooling

    No reading on the DTI 3300s

    You really need to consider cracking those inj. lines and re-tighten them or you run the risk of those lines stress cracking. I don't want to think about trying to find replacements.

    How to set the timing on your 6.9 or 7.3 IDI and how to buy timing equipment.

    If anyone is curious, I finally got around to checking my timing today. I'll attach the photos of the tooling I used. As far as special wrenches go, I just used my snapon angle wrench.

    I have had the bluepoint adapter for years. I just got around to ordering a bluepoint adjustable timing light today. Gonna find out how far off I timed my pump by ear next weekend.

    Advice on engine

    If, all the connecting rod caps look the same across the whole engine. I would not worry about the crank. But since you have the pan off I would take a cap off and inspect a random bearing and crank journal. If it looks decent I would let it ride and investigate what seized on your original...
