[rustygold]

Well I know mine is gone it's a hassle for me to fill up 1/2 to 3/8 of a tank. Cleaned the lines and the rubber hose was swollen and super soft fix that runs better now still Sligh rough idle still but I'll see what happens when I get it timed

Don't open up a new can of worms for fish that other people are catching with golbis
Put a gauge on your truck before you go through this process and see where your at first.
Less work and more viable data.

Got the data from the pressure test 4 at start up then went to 10 psi the back down. But when I release the pressure I notice air in the diesel so I still could have air getting in the lines.

Have found the leak in the line yet ran into transmission problem on it it has a harsh random shift and overdrive light keeps flashing have new tps on the way. I.got a 23 code and 43 code it came out like 23.23.1.43.43.. it does shift into all gears including over drive and locks out the converter so I'm at a lost.

Wish I could help you with your transmission problem. I fixed mine by swapping to a 5 speed!

Where in arkansas are you?

 

[rustygold]

I wouldn't mine making a five speed or even six speed

Not a 6 speed out there that will direct bolt up to an IDI. 5 speeds are plentiful. Any zf5 from a diesel 87-97 will directly bolt in. Easiest to find a whole truck so you can get all the correct clutch pedal parts to make it work.

I had to have a driveshaft made at superior spring in North Little Rock because I pieced a kit together. Got about 1000 in mine with new driveshaft, clutch and pedal parts.

There was a truck in greenbrier that had all the parts in it....

They went out of business Far as I know I get my stuff from dynamic Drive line. They bell housing is a big block housing I see alot of HD circle from the big truck wonder if shiftys might know

 

[cpdenton]

Big block is different. Looks the same, but bolt holes are in a different spot. They are diesel specific, but big block bells can be redrilled. There is a tech article somewhere in the tech article area.

I just remembered a c6 looking close on a 79 bronco I rebuilt. Monday I'll be talking to trans tech or delta about my problem with the transmission to get a better idea...

 

[cpdenton]

There are lots of threads about various trans code issues on this sight. Do a search on the upper right hand side of the page and I bet you will come up with lots of good things to start going through.

So far I see it's just a fords bad computer planing. They should of stuck with hydraulic trannys.
