    Any 4bt's out there?

    Look into Dovebid, they auction off a lot of P30 style step vans with diesel engines. But before buying an engine figure out what drivetrain you will have. This may make a difference in what engine to trans adapters you want to look for. I have a 4bt in a Jeep TJ, my engine came from a van...

    Odd CDL question.

    My auto ins. actually went down due to the CDL because they consider you a better driver or at least better trained driver. I can't remember how much I saved but it was not much at all.

    Odd CDL question.

    The fee for license renewal is double what a regular one is, and if you have Haz Mat endorsement you are mandatory for written testing every time, and background checks. I have not had my physical card current in 10 years but no longer drive commercially so there is no need for it. I need to...

    Brake Problems

    Your slides may be damaged from being bound up for so long. Check to be certain there is no worn areas that could put the caliper in a bind when braking. They might slide just fine with no braking force applied but bind up when braking forces are applied to the caliper.

    Where are you located, and what is the ambient temps? When was the last time the fuel filter was changed? Any change in fuel supply?

    '01 IH 4700 w/ T444E - Where is the...???

    Aaron is right it is just above the oil filter on the left side of the block. Yes it is entirely possible that the truck does not have a block heater. It is an option, some times people don't choose it when specing out a new truck.

    6.9 identification

    Is there any reliable way to identify a 6.9 from a 7.3 by looking at it in the truck?

    E40D problems

    I see you have a TS chip, I had one too and I did not care or the trans shift programming especially after the BTS was installed. Long story short I ended up getting a DP Tuner chip and I like Jodi's programs better, as well as the trans shifts how and where I like it. So my point is you might...

    E40D problems

    Glad we all could help. IIRC the stock Ford donuts are not the best to use. I remember that GM makes some that are thicker and thus tighter fitting and are graphite impregnated so they move with the pipes better then the white Ford donuts. But I can't remember the part #.

    E40D problems

    Torque converters do not bolt up to the trans at all, they just silp into the pump drive. So be careful not to tilt the trans while installing it otherwise the converter will just slide right out. The torque converter bolts up to your flex plate on the engine. . Good point 94f450sd while the...

    E40D problems

    The stock converter does use nuts. My BTS converter needed bolts so I would assume an ATS one would too. Locltite would be a good idea too. Yes there is a gasket for the t-case about $6 at Ford. I recommend Schaffers trans fluid if ATS does not specify one. Start now by spraying the selector...

    E40D problems

    My best guess is that a Ford tech will do a stock rebuild. There are quite a few hard part upgrades that can be done to improve on the factory setup that are not offered through Ford

    Questions about / need a gear driven PS pump...

    When I got my truck the PS pump was missing. I found one on e-bay for about $60, granted it did need a seal kit but still a lot cheaper then the parts store.

    need advice for more power on 99 7.3

    Gages first, Tony Wildman or DP tuner chip, 4" exhaust, Tymar intake, (I do not like K&N on any turbo diesel). BTS trans, either a GT38, H2e, or Black widdow performance turbo, BDP injectors, Big oil, aftermarket rods. By now you will have a thin wallet.

    cummins auto trans gen 1

    The mechanical Allison you are looking for is the AT series, such as the AT545 not any of the new world series. The next bigger is the MT series but I believe they are too big to fit in the trans tunnel. Since you said for off road only I will assume you do not care about highway speeds or...

    1st gen cummins engine

    To get to 475 hp you will be sacrificing a lot of longevity on a 1st gen VE pump. That poor ip just isn't made internally to handle those kinds of stresses for very long. The 300-350hp level is a much more reliable goal for a daily driver. Injectors, pump mods, larger turbo will get you there. I...

    gonna get me one.

    Unless the previous owner or dealer told you then it is a guess. I believe all aftermarket t/c's are painted, Precession and ATS are purple, Suncoast are grey. Stock are bare steel. I do not believe any of the aftermarket ones have a drain plug. The stock 99-early 2000 had a drain plug.

    gonna get me one.

    A fairly good/cheap torque converter is a stock 4r100, I think they run about $300. A 5r110 can be used with a John Woods adapter but not too many people are using them. After that there are only a few choices, Precession Stallion, Suncoast, ATS 5-star. These all run $1000+ but they are all very...

    '99 SD

    The 265/75 will give the best fuel mileage. The 285/75 is not much worse but the larger the tire the worse the mileage gets. I do agree the 265's do look a little puny.

    Air Starter

    I think installing one would be rather cool as well but they are a bit demanding (air flow) and unforgiving(limited air supply). I know they make them or the old 6.9L engines and the DT466 but I have not seen any for the T444e. IIRC Ingersoll Rand part# ss175 is the vane style used on the 6.9...

    cam info

    I am helping with another IDI rebuild. I am looking for specs so I can check the cam for wear. Also if I need one where to buy a cam and lifters from? I saw one from Hypermax for $575 :eek: The engine has about 200k on it, I know they can go longer but since it is being rebuilt for other...

    gonna get me one.

    I can't speak from first hand experience but I have heard good things about that dealer, and that is not easy for me to say. I would most certainly look for a F350 over the 250 because of the TTB front axle. They can be real expensive doing ball joints etc. My 96 w/280k never had any miss while...
