    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...

    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.

    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...

    Cold Air Intake + RDT + Fuel Filter Relocation Pics So heres some pics of what I did today. I relocated that fuel filter so I could pipe in my new K&N filter, plus I did a RDT which seems to be working very nicely. I'll probably tie it into the exhaust in a few days. Got a few more pounds of...

    Moving fuel filter head

    So I'd like to move the filter head on the engine so I can run a cold air intake off of the turbo. My idea is to move it forward 4 or 5 inches. The hard part is what to do with the fuel lines. I'm thinking of have 2 hydraulic hoses made up. One from the lift pump to the filter head, and one from...

    So I want to do a cold air intake for my factory turbo idi. The ones I've seen on here are nice but most required moving the fuel filter. Today while I was in autozone I saw the do it yourself intake kits for ricers and bought a few parts to see how they would fit up on my turbo. I bought a 90...

    4x4 interlock?

    Has anyone removed the interlock on the 4x4 lever for shifting into 4 low? My truck goes into 4 hi just fine but the mechanism that you push down on is all corroded and jammed.

    New Exhaust

    Just finished putting my "craigslist special" exhaust on tonight. It's 4" pipe, no muffler, and sounds great. Paid $60 for 2 4' lengths of pipe, 2 45 degree elbows and then bought the reducers locally.

    WTB: shift lever for 92+ truck E4OD

    I'm looking for the shift lever off the steering column from a 92+ truck with an E4OD. The wires in mine are all worn through and the OD button stoped working. I dont think you can replace the wires so if anyone has one laying around with the wires intact they'd like to sell let me know. Derek

    Heres one for the electrical gurus

    When I put the shift lever into 2 or 1 (E4OD) it blows the fuse for the instrument panel gauges everytime. Could this be a wiring issue or maybe a sensor of some sort. I just replaced my fipl and abs sensor so maybe that has something to do with it? Thanks, Derek
