    IVAN

    I did the 6.4 pan as well. More and better filtration is a no brainer. WRT to the blue spring mod the kit is different for the vans. But you probably know that but I find it difficult to cross-reference the international part #s to Ford.

    Nice work! I used the cigarette plug for a gage as well. And with some additional trimming was able to fit another two analog gauges in the dash space. Another one you might want to consider (if you haven't already) is a fuel pressure gage. There isn't a PCM PID for it similar to a pyro...

    IVAN

    As compared to when it's paired to a gasser? What size is the V10 cooler? I can only guess but besides the tiny OEM cooler doing little at idle the tranny fluid does go through the bottom of the radiator on a 6.0 before going to the tranny cooler. I suspect this does very little to cool the...

    Newby transmission rebuild question

    Because the OP is intending to convert to 4x4 at some point then that would void the warranty? Anyhow, my bad I missed the part about there not being anything wrong with the OP's tranny.

    IVAN

    Yeah, I also was worried about the restriction and potential drop in pressure. Similar to the 4R100 the procedure is to check the flow by disconnecting the cooler return tube and measuring the rate of flow in a graduated cylinder or something similar while running the engine at idle with the...

    6.0 here with a 40K Tru-cool. The 3/8" inverted flare to a 1/2" hose barb is indeed a PIA. I'll be interested what you came up with for that. My jury-rigged effort brazing two pieces together leaked but got it right the 2nd time around. For now but now it's a rare day that TFT get's over...

    Need Help with Bicycle Rack on back of E350!

    Nice looking rig KCcourtney! What size wheels are those? 18" or 20" and 35's or 37's. I'm wheel shopping. A few thoughts on racks having tried a quite a few before settling on 1upUSA trays on an aluminess swing-away bumper. A hitch mounted Yak or Thule definitely is a dirt collector. And...

    Eezi Awn K9 Roof Rack - Yakima or Thule Box on Top

    Yes, you are correct. Seems like that would work just fine. I'm probably going to pull the trigger on the rack here soon. Thanks for the input!

    Eezi Awn K9 Roof Rack - Yakima or Thule Box on Top

    hmmm, that's true. But security aside, you can lash a bag or box that is 10 to 12" high directly to the rack. Currently, if you want to use a Yak or Thule box on the K9 you have to use both the towers and bar so the box sticks up 20" or more above the flat surface of the rack. Not sure what...

    Eezi Awn K9 Roof Rack - Yakima or Thule Box on Top

    Bump. I'm curious what your solution was. I'm about to buy a K9 rack and looking at storage options. I have a manual penthouse on a van and my box is 50lb alone. I'm thinking of using a competitor's storage bag(s) instead for roll-up tables, chairs, and miscellaneous stuff that I might throw...

    Tuners...

    BDZ7 is the PCM code? There should be a sticker on the PCM and whatever is on that label let's the tuner know what hardware is inside the computer. In my case, on a 2005 the PCM code is UGB4. My base strategy was VXCF9A4. This is the base calibration that is modified by the tuner. Some...

    Tuners...

    Did you try returning to the stock strategy before loading the new tune? I had to do that with the SRL tune from Gearhead. Never really could get the tune to work right wrt transmission shifting. You might also need to bump up the REV limiter. Anyhow, good customer support from SCT. When I...

    Diesel engine heat management 6.0

    I have tried tunes from Innovative, Gearhead, Power Hungry Performance, and TSD. I like the ones from IDP and PHP the most. The PHP 80HP daily driver tune is what I'm running now. The power is nice and linear and pairs the best with the Atlas40 FICM tune. I also like the 65HP economy tune I...
