ANOTHER E4OD Thread? Rebuilt, Sat a Year, Now.....

Well, dang. Looks like lockup issue is due to a faulty TPS/FIPL.

Hmm, it is old and black, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Of course, that's external to the trans, and not covered by the trans warranty.

Ah, well.

Yupyup.... a couple hundred bucks later for the trans shop to replace the TPS and set it, and she's back in my hands.

Running great, BTW!

Hoping to get to some body work during this warm weather. Lots of gutter rust to treat out.

Here's a +1 for putting up with a pain in the @$$ and not losing your cool.

Good job, econoline.

Thanks much, BrandonMag.

Late-body (92-94) IDI vans are extremely rare, even in here in almost-no-rust country, and I'm quite in love with this one.

This old girl apparently played in the snow over the years, thus the gutter rust. But she should last a good long time.

Wish I could find a good trans shop down here in my neck of the woods. Had a rec for a shop from my old mechanic, they said my trans on my last ford was bad, dropping metal everywhere and might go a couple of months if lucky. That was a year and a half ago. I might have had them replace it at the time, but luckily for me I had no money at the time. My new old truck seems like it might need some transmission looking after...
