Back in the saddle again!

[6.9poweredscout]

How I missed the sweet smooth cackle of a good 'ol IDI! Traded the powersmoker straight up for a '91 F350 2wd dually CCLB with a banks sidewinder equipped reman 7.3 with a banks trans command equipped E4od and an '85 F350 CCLB srw 4x4 351 C6. Both run and drive flawlessly, the '91 is CLEAN, the '85 a lil crispy. I'm letting brandon play with the '85 til I figure out what I'm doing with it....like stealing the d60 for the dually. Plan on stealing the moose off the scout for the dually, maybe some bbs too but it runs smooth as glass and runs 75 with the cruise set without a sweat!

That be....after the fact right?

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Yeah bellowing tire smoke through every gear was fun. But the electronic demons chased me away....

 

[6.9poweredscout]

I have a silly question too.... Looks like theres a map sensor on the firewall but theres no hose anywhere. Any idea whats going on there? Theres a check engine light on too......uhmmm what?

 

[gatorman21218]

On a manual transmission truck, the check engine light means you are out of oil or have over heated. the E4OD might throw a CEL but I have no idea about that.

MAP sensor is common oddly but I have no idea why it's there on a diesel. If it's not connected don't sweat it.

Could it have been a gasser conversion and that be a left over part?

 

[91idi]

The diesel all have the map sensor. Never seen anything connected to them

 

[fx4wannabe]

I'd fix up that 85' that could be one sharp ride.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Eh... Not a gasser fan. My psd had a map, but it was computerized so that makes sense

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Anyone interested in the dually running board flare things? I'm pulling those off

 

[cpdenton]

I think that sensor has something to do with the shift points in the transmission being adjusted for altitude. E4od electronics.

Does it look like this?

I wanf the flairs

The MAP sensor effects how the transmission shifts. I think the idea is to help it shift based on how much power the engine can make. (sense its naturally aspirated the intake on the engine is running at atmospheric pressure at that location). If i remember right on the PSD it is connected to the intake (because with the turbo you are no longer running at atmospheric pressure).
