Thats a good one. forgot about that. Lightnings would do that as well. but when that fuse when out the speedo would die as well.Oh and look in the plug of the trans. My 95 PSD started doing this. and the pins in the plug were all green and rutted it away. and i ended it up haveing to replace...

First/reverse sprag broke. 1993 and before E4OD were not as good as the 1994 to 1997 trans. That or you front pump went out. Really need to do a Line PSI test.Only other thing i could think of is the filter fell out of the pump. doesn't happen much. but i have seen it. Did you make sure...

Plug the A/C powered heater in and wait a hour or more. and start. It should start.

Sounds like it doesn't want to turn over and not that its turning over but will not start? is that right??Sound like its trying to seas up. like its getting tighter to turn. do you know what temp the engine is when your trying to start it?? Not trying to say that what is happening. Just...

Well I would most likely say the cap bridges Are cracked because some one try to put it on and didnt know what they were doing. Or tryed to bolt them on with the lifters and the Camshaft Followers in place under the cam.As for the scoring. It could of been from that. Or more likely it was...

LOL. I know what you mean. YOU dont really know what the temp is in a new car.IDK. I would think that 10 deg would be way on the safe side for the timing. This does not happen much on a stock engine but i always do check it on a new engine build when its on the stand. and make sure that the...

IDK. I know newer cars do run there all the time and i dont really worry about them there made to run at that temp the newer car that i have running at 210, But a lot of newer car dont even have a temp gauge that has # on it . most just have a green line and a red line at the top.My 25...

I would really try to turn the timing down down like 2 or 3 degree or turn the fuel up a jet size up one. if the carb he uses can. all carb have some way to riching it up. Or a lower thermstate. temp. It might have a 190 or a 200 temp one in it and change it to a 180 or a 160 in it. Or maybe the...

I dont know I wouldn't want to see 220 230 in temp in my truck. But if its not boiling over I would guess its ok there. And if its still running ok. About at 210 is were i would start to worry as will.But i never trust the stock gauges all that much. I hope i was able to help you guys out.

Damn that who i was thing about last night , But couldnt for the live of me remember there name, They have been around for ever.

From what i know Ford has used one resistance for a long long time. Like all the way back into the 60s. And the same for GM they allways been the same,No for the newer truck like after 2003 that might have change. But i think from 80 to 96 there all the same.

No there not. if they were they would not make convesion kits to put a 460 were a 400M was.

Get the engine code off the door. Maybe it was a 460 truck stock. If so all you would need is the engine mounts and you could be done.If not and it was a 351 or 400 truck. And you know that then you can just buy the conversion mounts for the truck and not worry about frame horns for the...

I think the guys are talking about the Brackets that bolts to the cross member that goes under engine that the engine mount bolts to.I know there driffrent from the 302/351. to the 460 engine in that body truck.The V6 engine wasn't used much here in the states. Some were used by the US...

Ok didn't see your post untill i was done with mine.OK if the cam has 4 degree retarded timing made into the cam. you only way to get it out. is to buy a timing set that has the 3 key ways made in the crank gear and put in the 4 advance key way.But not know the way the engine made and...

OK look I found the spec to the stock replacement cam to that engine in that year truck.http://aftermarket.federalmogul.com/en-us/technical/documents/camshaft%20-%20cs667.pdfIf that the cam that in there its not retarded 4 deg. The centerline of the cam is 110. The intake centerline...

Ok DNFXDLI and Doug. If you take the engine apart till you can see the timing set. and its only got one slot in the crank gear. And you put the crank on TDC and it dot to dot then the cam is strait up.Not if the crank timing gear has 3 slots one for 4 retard,one for 0 and one for 4 advance...

What is it with some of you guys?? Were does it say he has to use a Deg wheel. Never said he had to use one. Anywere on here. If you reed it again. You will see I was trying to teach some people some things about cams and how they work what the # all stand for and how you could go about...

Let me see if i can try to say how this works. lets say the cam has a Lobe Separation is at 112 99% of the time the Lobe Separation and the centerline is one in the same.thats kind of a lopy cam. and make the engine hold about 12 13" of vacuum. And the power not going to come on until...

LOL talk before i read it right. Sorry

Oh that could be IDK that. if i saw a Cam card with the centerline # and the lobe Separation # i could tell you that. But if it was and he wanted to advance it 4 deg to put center line to 0. he would need ajustable timing set and a deg wheel and understand how to go about it. Sorry but its not...

Ok look. Take #1 spark plug out of the engine. turn the engine over by hand until you can feel air push your finger off the spark plug hole. That will be the piston coming up on to the TDC mark. stop. put a small screw driver in the hole. slowly turn the engine over and feel for the piston to...

First off i never told you to rip it off. I told you you can get rid of it IF IF you know what you are doing. I told you could amp to get rid of it or fix it. And it was up to you.So know you want to talk about Flash point and all that junk. Fine. Yea i know i under stand it alot more then...

The Builder does not make sense in what he said to you. You set the timing of the cam strait up. or dot to dot. stock timing gears would only have one cam slot they would not have 3 like the ones some one showed. there aftermarket parts. Now the specks to the stock cam might be 4 deg retarded...

Im sorry i dont get what hes getting at. Was the timing chain not replaced at the time of the rebuild?? Do you think the timing not strait Up?? or are you trying to change the cam timing??I dont think i understand why he wants to change the timing or the timing set as its know when you want...

Non of the flowmaster I know of make a crackling sound. I hate that as well. They are a deep sounding muffler make it sound like its got some cam and more Cubes under the hood.

I like Flowmaster as well. I go with a 40 series. But thats just me. they all sound good.

Blacksnapno. Im sorry but the pic out of the book you put on here i can never see right there to small. Can you make them bigger??Im not sure if the E vans are like the F truck. But for ever ,back in to the 90s ford has put a fuse box under the hood. That fuse box has fuses that go to the...

As for the cam what do you wean by Big?? Big as in Lift? Duration? Or centerline?to keep the computer happy its about how much vacuum the engine will hold at idle. For these truck its 17 to 18" of vacuum at idle. So whats that mean in a cam?? Well its about the centerlive in the cam or...

Going to be pretty hard to get some one to tune a 85 SD computer. you need to open the drivers door and look at the sticker on the door jam. should be a small one all by itself. like 2" long and 1/2 wide. with a 4# code. like 3PC3. or like A9L,A9P. something along them lines. thats you computer...
