    Converter Switch Mod question

    Ok so I installed the resistor and went for a drive and it promptly went into limp mode just like when I didnt have the resistor. Codes say converter clutch failure (obv) and shift solenoid 1 failure? maybe this is a different issue alltogether.

    Converter Switch Mod question

    Ok so I bought a 22k resistor that is 1/2 watt. Will that work? So one end goes to the pcm and the other gets key-on power, correct? Thanks Derek

    Converter Switch Mod question

    So my truck for a while now has had a problem with the torque converter randomly locking and unlocking while on the highway and it was driving me up the wall. I cleaned and greased every switch and sensor I could find and traced every wire. So rather than let my converter destroy itself I...

    E40D Overdrive help

    I've been fighting the same problem too. If you unhook the batteries and reset the computer it will make it stop for a few days I've notcied. I replaced the fipl, vss, and tach sensor and it still does it so I'm going to try cleaning all the connections and maybe the turn signal switch next...

    Frame mounted tool boxes???

    Try craigslist. I picked up a nice reading box for my flatbed for $50 but I may end up selling it and make some custom ones. If you search craigslist use words like "underbed or underbody" I had more luck finding some that way.

    No speedo, odometer, and flashing o/d light

    It was a 15 amp but im praying it was just a fluke since I drove 45 mins to and from work today and it was fine.

    No speedo, odometer, and flashing o/d light

    Well it did it again tonight :dunno only this time it was under the dash and it was fuse #8. This seems to be occuring randomly because I replaced the fuse and went for a 30 min drive and it was fine. I guess I'll see how it acts on the way to work tomorrow. Hopefully I dont end up having to...

    No speedo, odometer, and flashing o/d light

    Figured it out finally, it was actualy a fuse, but it was in the power distrubution box under the hood. I replaced it, unhooked the batts for 10 mins, and added some dielectric grease on the speed sensor plug and everything seems to be fine now. Thanks guys ;Sweet

    No speedo, odometer, and flashing o/d light

    So I pulled out of my driveway and my truck wouldnt shift out of first gear. I notcied the o/d light was flashing and the speedo was on zero, so I figured it must be the vss on the rear axle. But then I notcied the odometer wasnt on :dunno so now I'm lost. Any ideas on what can make the odometer...

    Question on E40D torque converter is locking, and unlocking

    Check your tach sensor. My truck just started doing this again and I knew it wasn't my wiring cause I just redid it so I started looking under the hood. The insulation on my tach sensor (original most likey) had rubbed off and the wires must have been touching each other with the vibration from...

    aftermarket parts for the idi body

    Question on E40D torque converter is locking, and unlocking

    x2 on the rear bulbs. I had a bad ground on one of my taillights and it would do the exact same thing.

    How much is an E4OD worth?

    Well the converter was rattling when I took it out so theres probably peices of it in the tranny and it was starting to slip too. I havent seen too many 4x4 e4od's for our engines on craiglist mostly 2wds.

    How much is an E4OD worth?

    I'm thinking around $100? I've got a 4x4 e4od out of my truck that blew the converter so it probably isnt worth much. I was saving it as a backup for my truck but I figure if I kill this trans I'll just swap a 5 speed in it so I'd like to get something for this thing.

    Flatbed Rebuild

    Yeah I'm still undecided on the sliding window. At the very least I'll put a big IH or Ford sticker in that space. The tool box isnt that bad in that position. I have things packed in there so good that nothing moves when I dump it. Moved 3 yards of mulch with it today and only needed a 2x12 on...

    Flatbed Rebuild

    Got a new driver's fender and was lucky to find one with the color scheme I wanted. Now I can just tell the paint shop to match the rest of the truck to the new fender. It's also now a diesel F150 LOL Going to do some welding and paint on the flatbed so more pics to come.

    Engine vibrations (not the good kind)

    Good idea Ill check them tomorrow. They were fine 10,000 ago when I redid the front ones but that would explain the vibration while driving and not sitting still.

    Engine vibrations (not the good kind)

    So for the past two weeks I've been noticing a vibration that I can feel in the steering wheel and accelerator pedal. It slowly been getting more and more noticeable. Do you think this could be caused by old injectors? My trucks got 210 on her and I think stock injectors because they are grey...

    Next up: Stack and likely a pyro.

    I vote stacks! I'm planning on doing 4" duals with 5 inch tips behind the tires on my truck but yours has the perfect spot for stacks.
