You can subscribe to the online manual direct from Ford at www.motorcraftservice.com, but it's spendy. I pay for www.alldatadity.com, and I believe this is the cheapest way to get OEM service information. The downside is that all of it is written for the dealer tech with access to all the Rotunda special tools, but it's still very relevant to the DIY-er.

I've never seen another digital copy like that one, I got that a few years ago from someone on FTE. Send me a PM if you want the rest of the '04 Super Duty manual.

I replaced the TCM connector and that cured the problem. I now have no codes! This is the end of my saga. I'll keep an eye on the forum in case their are an question I can answer. Total cost for my engine swap was $6000, that included all the extra parts and fluids. Total shop time to install engine was 24 hrs., that $18 in shop fees.

My wife Claudia and I will be attending a 4th of July picnic celebration at the auto shop today ARC | Automotive Restoration Club.
I will also celebrate the completion of my two month project! I have much to be thankful for.

The Army has shops like that on most installations; you can rent a lift bay for around $3/hour and they have all the tools you'd ever use. I haven't been stationed near one of those in quite awhile though, and in recruiting it's not likely I will be.

So you only paid $18 for 2 month's use of the shop? Or did you somehow roll the van out in between work sessions?
Also, did you do a direct replacement 2v V10 motor? The one thing I would have liked to have done is upgrade to a 3v or at least a PI 2v, but either would have involved replacing too many other components.
BTW -- nice wheels. Your van looks pretty sharp for 19 years old. Mine's 2 years newer and the same color green, but doesn't have the silver tone along the bottom. Is yours a Chateau?
