    Brake I have is sitting in the bed of the bus waiting to go to the scrap yard. I took the trans for my van because it has the 4x4 out put shaft.

    I have a parking brake that is mounted on the tail shaft housing from a e series bus conversion. Like you said it mounts up to a 4r100 4x4 output shaft. Is that what you need?

    Oil cooler rebuild

    Ok I got the ends off. This thing was under salt water so it put up a fight but not too bad. Now I have questions about some of the stuff going on within the oil filter housing. I see two passages that have snap rings, one has a flat carbon fiber looking piece in it which almost appears to be a...

    Early/Late maniflod difference

    So I figured out a major difference here on the van manifold. The drivers side manifold runs out of the exhaust port then down and under the ports whereas the trucks run above the exhaust ports. This appears to be for clearance issues with the doghouse. The connection for the uppipe looks to be...

    Oil cooler rebuild

    I got a Motorcraft overhaul kit which includes the new oil cooler. Im not sure how the thing comes a part so I can replace the heat exchanger. Sounds like its pressed together and once its bolted to the motor that holds it together? Looking for tricks to separate it as I don't want to damage...

    Questions on used 38r

    Thanks for replies. Didn't really consider the seals. Turbo is dry on both sides. In the event of a seal failure on the 38r can they be replaced? Is there anything that makes them fail prematurely?

    Questions on used 38r

    It seems to have some end play, as I can move the shaft in and out a bit. Trying to find out if that is acceptable. My stock turbo that was rebuilt doesn't seem to have any movement in and out although side to side is much more.

    exhaust back pressure sensor

    Wondering if aftermarket tunes still require the exhaust back pressure sensor and tube. I think that's what its called- the one in front of the hpop.

    Questions on used 38r

    I just picked up a used 38r from the classifieds and wanted to know if there is anything I should look for to make sure the internals are in good shape. From appearance the turbo seems to be in very good condition, just want to be sure I don't have problems. I checked shaft movement and it is...

    Injector cup question

    And the warranty wont be of much comfort for the fact that I will still be pulling the motor if there is a problem.

    Injector cup question

    I will give my machinist a call tomorrow, but Im gonna guess that he doesn't have the install tool and hasn't done thousands of cups. Anybody in south central NJ that does them?

    Injector cup question

    Well.. 5 days to return ship cross country. Hopefully heads wont need new guides. Hopefully I don't need new valves. Hopefully the machine shop finishes it right away. That is if I want to pull the cups before they put the heads in the hot tank. Cant you just knock the old ones out ?

    Injector cup question

    Just checked Riff Raff website - $50 rental fee for 21 days. After 21 days they charge you $10 a day, after 30 days you keep the tool for $350.
