I recently bought a 94 single cab flareside. Its got the 4.9 with an E4OD.
When I put it in drive the trans start in 3rd gear, it has a very slow take off. So I have to shift down to 2nd to get it moving, and then put it in drive. The guy I bought it from changed the trans, because he thought that was the problem, and changed a bunch off stuff on it. He told me it was the computer. The computer is not compatible with the trans. The engine sounds great, it has a nice steady idle. Does anyone know where I can see what type of computer I have and which one I need?
Thanks in advance

 

Computer should be mounted up under the dash on the driver side. There should be a number you can pull off of it. Give us the number and we can help you.

Otherwise, it could be the torque converter going bad.

Okay... now, as soon as somebody who has any idea what the means chimes in, you'll be on your way to fixing it. [Seriously I wish I could help you out from here, but I'm not very knowledgeable about the technical details of these trucks.]

 

Sorry but I had to chime in: I have a '94 FlareSide with the 300 and E4OD also! Mine's black

 

any pics?
Hey can you do me a favor?
Can you check what type of computer is in your truck?
thanks

 

Howdy!!

How do I check to see what type of computer I have? I'd be glad to look for ya but have no idea what I'm looking for.

I have pictures galore! What about you? Is your rig 2wd or 4wd? Mine's 2wd but I went for what I call a "powerwagon" look. Lifted but with a rake.

Hang on and I'll show you!



And one more




And one before I did the lift




Now show me yours!!

 

Beautiful truck man, I'll get some pics asap.

As for the computer, never mind. Its inside the firewall driver side, i'll look it up elsewhere. thanks though

 

Thanks a lot Black! I'm looking forward to seeing those pictrures. Sorry I couldn't be any help with the computer.

Do you have any plans for your truck? Any moddifications? V8 swap?

 

Here she is, no major plans right now, just fixing little things here and there.
Maybe a lift and some rubber. What size lift do you have? Tires?


I took off some coil compressors that it had, so it looks leveled now. Going to get the windows tinted tommorow, and I'll see if I can get the oxidized paint to shine again. As for a V8 swap, I would go with a 351 and a C6 trans but that will have to wait a while with these damn gas prices. For now I just want a nice daily driver that I can enjoy.


PS, whats your average MPG?
I think I'm getting around 12

 

custom bumper?

 

Nope...That there is a factory tow package option....

Bill's truck is one of the best looking on this site, IMO. It is by far one of my favorites, and I always enjoy seeing more pictures of it!
