    The Ute II: E350 RB 7.3 ZF6

    I wish I knew the definitive answer but I purchased my tranny and T-Case assembled as a unit. AFAIK it is a standard NV271. Here's a picture of mine:

    Wow, that's quite the intense response there. I'll skip your condescension and intvitation to your pissing contest and just say yes. Yes I have. Many. And yes, they are not all directional. Type universal cat or racing cat in Google and take another look before responding next time. Do you know...

    Need expert repair advice - urgent

    Here's a few points, hope they help: "Stuttering and surging" sounds like an A/F mixture issue. In other words: you have fuel, air, and spark or it wouldn't run at all. That leaves mixture, which points to a sensor >>> O2, IAT, TPS, etc. The only thing "directional" about a CAT is the O2...

    Econoline E350 Quigley 7.3 - engine removal to the front - need advice

    Just a quick safety note- A 7.3 PSD long block weighs ~920lbs dry. Not sure if you're leaving the tranny attached but either way I'd take note of the cherry picker's capacities and stay away from that 1/2 ton position.

    The Ute II: E350 RB 7.3 ZF6

    Electric Fuel, CAI, EBP Delete & CCV Mod Given the sardine can-like nature of our engine bays I figured some people might like to see what the top of a 7.3 looks like sans turbo, intake, fuel pump and filter bowl. I had a fuel pump seal go out shortly after purchasing the van and vowed to...

    Both pictures of inside the box were taken by somebody standing in the doorway.

    Blech! It's that thing on the bottom left of "the innards" picture that I don't like. :)

    Yes 7075 is much stronger (83ksi vs 45ksi yield strength). http://asm.matweb.com/search/SpecificMaterial.asp?bassnum=MA6061t6 http://asm.matweb.com/search/SpecificMaterial.asp?bassnum=MA7075T6

    7.3 UVCH??

    No personal experience but I've heard repeatedly that this plug (& updated shim?) and the CPS are both must have's in a 7.3 spare parts kit.

    The Ute II: E350 RB 7.3 ZF6

    It's a heavy ~1" thick cylinder/ring of steel that looks like it is part of the crank itself. I tapped it at all angles with a hammer until it separated. Edit: Here's a pic-

    The Ute II: E350 RB 7.3 ZF6

    Yeah unfortunately there aren't many (or any) options for alternate angles on some of the obstacles given how narrow the trail is. You're left with getting a bigger lift or physically filling in the trail with rocks if want to get back there. Good call, I'll be in touch. Thanks! Haha, yeah...

    The Ute II: E350 RB 7.3 ZF6

    Hey Gents, We just returned from 2 weeks around the 4 corners region and I figured it's time for a little update and trip report. I'm not very superstitious, but the van was feeling lucky heading East: The route included Death Valley, Zion, and Capital Reef but we only really got deep into...

    Hey Brian. I was on the fence for one of these recently and figured I'd tighten my oem box first. It cut the dead space (slop) down significantly. It's an easy and free test if you're headed towards a redhead anyway. For reference I tightened it ~2 turns and it was noticeably stiff at first...

    Just back from a 4 Corners trip. We were so thankful for our "metal tent" on wheels given the BLASTING wind for the first 4 days.

    The Ute II: E350 RB 7.3 ZF6

    My VSS signal is picked up off the rear differential in my old van but most of the discussion I've read points to the tailshaft housing on the tranny. Also, note that the rear axle I installed in my van came off a 2002 F350, and that I used the existing 2002 sensor on the pumpkin. The old plug...
