    Need a new trans, looking for recommendations

    My 01 Ex has killed the Ford HD4r100 reman I installed several years ago. I'm not going to wait months for a BTS or drive 1500 miles to get it. It looks like John Woods has retired, Dieselsite only sells parts now not built units. Is there anything worthwhile available, or do I need to just...

    Bizarre throttle issue

    My 01 Ex in my signature has been doing this for a while and I'm stumped. Completely ramdomly and intermittently the motor will lunge, as if the throttle was floored. It's very short in duration, never more than a few seconds. If I'm driving it doesn't downshift but literally jumps 1000 rpm...

    Question for the paint and body guys

    Stupid mailman backed into my Excursion, hit it just right to bend the damn driver's door. Found a matching one locally but off of an F350, so no keyless entry keypad. Is it just a matter of carefully cutting a hole for the keypad, or do I need to find a door from an Ex? Thanks!

    2x4 Ball joints

    Sigh... I find myself needing to replace sloppy ball joints AGAIN! Has anyone found any replacements for 2 wheel drive trucks that are worth a $#i%? I wish Dynatrac would make some for 2x4s but alas I'm SOL. Not an option are: Moog Motorcraft McQuay-Norris I've done these enough that my...

    Source for PCMs?

    I need another PCM for my Excursion:doh: The Ford reman I put in a few years ago has decided I only need 1st and 2nd gears. The trans, an HD4R100, has been deemed perfectly fine by 2 dealers and an independant shop. The range sensor and shift solenoid pack have been replaced with no effect. I...

    38R issues

    So I just pulled the 2nd consecutive 38R OIL LEAKER off my truck. I like the turbo, but not enough to change it every 6-8 months. Anyone else have this experience? What's the secret password to get a good one?

    42 pin connector

    Anybody know where I can find one? My guess is the bolt has corroded to the threaded insert, went to take it apart, SNAP, and the bolt just spins without backing out the plug. Thanks

    '11 & up seat retrofit

    Has anyone retrofitted the '11 and newer ventilated seats into an earlier truck? Mine need new foam and covers, and a heater, which puts me close enough to the cost of some take out seats. Just curious if someone has already blazed that path, what it might take to make them work. I'm betting...

    Truck started smoking suddenly

    Sitting at a red light this afternoon, and said to myself "Wow, somebody is smoking alot!" Turns out it was me!! It's smoking enough to see at idle, pretty heavily at light throttle, and seems somewhat less under heavy throttle. It still runs fine, power feels the same, but now it's 2 qts...

    Ventilated seats

    Has anyone retrofitted some late model vented seats into an older body? I realize the late model ones are controlled by the hvac system, but it only has 2 speeds so it seems like it'd be easy enough to do once you know what the voltage reqs are. My seats need covers and 100* days are making me...

    Sigh...another "Which turbo" thread

    So apparently it's time for a new turbo. I don't want to spend the $$ for a T4/XXX. Truck has PMRs and stock injectors currently. I will probably put some 238/80 detuned to be safe in the future, just in case I decide to beef up the bottom end later. I'm looking at a 38R with a billet wheel...

    Has anyone successfully reset PATS with AE?

    I bought a PCM online, but was unable to reset the PATS with my Auto Enginuity. It went through the 10 minute timer and gave me the menu, said I need 2 keys which I have. Trying to proceed with the process it says "Unable to complete command due to system refusal." Turns out the PCM is out of...

    AE Injector question

    Isn't AE supposed to have the capability to turn off injectors 1 at a time? I have the latest version, 11.14. Anybody know how? I wish there was a usable instruction manual... My truck has a definite miss at hot idle that the CCT won't pick up.
