    Roadside Clutch Fix

    Longtime lurker with a story I've decided is worth sharing. Me and my Father headed out to the Oregon Coast for Riding at Sand Lake, driving my truck with one UTV on top and the toyhauler with another inside, total weight 21,650 lbs. Recently swapped the murdered E40D with a ZF5. Headed up Hwy 6...

    WARNING: DO NOT FLAT TOW A ZF5 EQUIPPED TRUCK

    As the title reads, it's a bad gamble to flat-tow a truck with a ZF5. Not all manual transmissions are alike, so you may be wondering why the ZF5 can't be towed. And the reason is because there is no lubrication to the internals apart from the INPUT SHAFT turning. The Input shaft only turns when...

    Truck is running great, but won’t drive

    Hi guys. I’m having an issue. I got the truck running great. Figured it was time to try and move it. Transfer case is in 2H, in both reverse and 1st, the truck feels like the brakes are locked up. All tires spin freely in neutral, so I wouldn’t think brakes are the issue. I put rear end on jacks...

    e4od to zf5...

    Hey all, I have read many posts asking questions about the e40d to zf5 swap, and there is so much information in all of them it is somewhat difficult to take in. Therefore, I decided to break down the few things I am still unsure of into a couple of simple questions that will hopefully...

    ZF5 rear housing?

    What is all involved in changing the rear housing or case on a ZF5 two wheel drive? Truck I recently picked up has a ZF5 and where is mounts to the cross member is broken. I'm guessing the transmission will have to come out to replace that part of the case? I have a transmission jack so its not...

    6.9 IDI and 4WD ZF5 with transfer case FS $1000

    This is a 6.9 IDI out of my 1985 F250. I swapped in the ZF and transfer case, ZF originally out of an F450 Super Duty, had a parking brake on it so I switched it out for the Borg Warner 1356 transfer case. Come to think of it, I could also sell the trans with the driveline brake in place of the...

    E40d to ZF5 conversion parking brake?

    So, I might be totally out to lunch on this, but it’s my understanding that my ‘94 f350 (7.3 IDI) with an e40d has the parking brake attached to the transmission. So, since I’m looking to swap to a ZF5 how would I go about installing a new parking brake? I’ve never had a parking brake that...

    ZF5 crossmember question. I’ve looked everywhere..

    Hi guys I’m just about ready to start swapping in my ZF5 transmission but still don’t have a crossmember. My truck is a 1994 7.3idiT 4x4 with e4od in it. Now I’ve been searching just about every thread to do with a ZF5 and found nothing. So here’s my question: Since I have a F250 4x4 would I...

    Zf5 synchros

    Hey all, my zf5 has bad synchros in the first 4 gears. The previous owner didn't do the heim joint mod and ground the synchros to oblivion. I am thinking that all it needs is the synchros changed. How hard is this to accomplish? And is there a good place to get this done in Louisiana? I am just...

    1993 7.3 IDI Factory Turbo

    Hello Oilburners. I found a 1993 Idi Turbo f250 zf5 with 32,000 miles on it for $900.00. It's been parked for about 10 years because they rolled it and then drove away from the accident. It was parked for 3 years on their ranch then an owner of a scrapyard bought it and drove it to his yard. He...

    WTS 1991 F-350 Crew Cab SRW 7.3 ZF-5 $3500 OBRO [SW Houston, TX]

    This turned out to be more of a project than I can deal with right now. The truck starts, runs, and drives, and is pretty solid, with very little rust, strong motor and good transmission. The original 4L10 rear failed, so I installed a 3.55 - original 4.10 is included if you want it but needs...
