Hey Chris: Looks like I can finally log on to the forums from home! Couldn't do it for the longest time. I'll plan on being there. Probably just be me and my daughter since my sweetheart has to work. Bubba's new motor should be broken in by then so you'll hear me rumbling up the driveway, setting off car alarms. Let me know what you need me to bring (coolers, chairs, etc.) Thanks again for taking the lead.

 

It'll be good to hear another monster rolling to the driveway.
As for items to bring i'll know when sometime closer to the G2G.

I will try to come too but my truck is in the middle of an engine rebuild and I am only an e4 so it may not be done in time But I will try to get it done by then

 

Damn, i wish you would have said something sooner. Im a mechanic and everyone i work with are mechanics. Could have saved you a ton of money.

 

Well I am not a mechanic but I am doing it myself I dont knbow if I am going to do a total rebuild or not yet as soon as I open it up today I will know. So far I know I have to replace my Oil pump and water pump

 

Hey Xman do you rebuild tranny's? My E40D is on the fritz.

 

me and trannys dont get along, but i can point you in the right direction. WHats it doing or not doing?

 

I took it to a tranny shop in the san fernando valley and had it checked twice nothing came on the diagnostics and they drove it and found nothing. It slips under load and shifts hard from 3rd-4th gear. The tranny fluid was fine and still does it. Any suggestions?

 

As much as a diagnostic helps, it really doent help ALL the time. If you know someone around you that has an E40D tranny, barrow their computer to make sure your isnt screwed. If it still does that samething, then go to hydraulic side of the tranny. there should several solinods in there that control your shifting I.E. hard shifting and slipping.......which gear does it slip in?? cause if its 4th gear then there is probably your problem, 4th gear solinod. You may also consider having a shop do a tranny flush & fill.
Let me know how it goes man and i'll head around and ask also for some more info.

O ya, Im more of an engine mech then anything else.......Being a Navy Engineman and all. But everyone I work with and for have many people that do all their own work, as do myself, so no matter what, i can normally narrow more problems down to a few things without even driving, hear, or seeing the problem myself.........I just relized that it sounds like Im bragging......really sorry for that cause Im not

chris

 

i dont see it as bragging, just advertising skill...haha

 

Great thanks Chris!
