Is this the same Ryan that was giving me a hard time for considering doing the same thing? 
This is why I started that thread over on FDP about the SD. I figure with all the aftermarket stuff out there today, you can make the inside of an OBS have just as many "creature comforts" as the SD's.

I'm just giving you a hard time... I know the feeling for sure. I'm still not sure if it's worth the trouble or not to sell my rig and start over with an OBS. Unlike you, I'd have to let my (very few compared to yours) mods go with the truck.

I know you were!! Yeah, if I can keep the main mods and put it mostly back to stock for not much $$ and get a decent price for it with the remaining mods, then I may just do it.

Update
Can't seem to figure them out.
I just bought a 1995 cc dually auto with 225K on it. Completely stock motor from air cleaner, squash pipe, cat, muffler, etc. Shifts just fine. He's checked all the fuses and they're good. No check engine or abs or brake lights on the dash.
It's currently at my folk's place as it was closer to them than me. So unfortunately I can't just run outside to try something. I'll have to relay the info onto my dad until I can get it later this month.
So what's going on:
1. The cruise doesn't work.
2. Only idles at 500 rpm which seems pretty low.
3. He says it's got a sound that he describes as "metal rubbing" when at idle. If he revs it up above 650 (which I think is the normal idle rpm) the noise goes away.
4. Yesterday when driving it around, when shifting from a drive gear to reverse, it would die. Unless he'd give it a little fuel to keep the revs up, then it'd go into reverse fine. From park to reverse it's fine.
5. This morning when he started it up, it started right away and ran strong for 30 seconds to a minute then acted like it stumbled/bogged down and died. He restarted and it died right away. Restarted again and he pressed on the pedal lightly for the first minute or so, then it was fine. Never tried to die again and then set and idled fine.
Any and all ideas would be great. Don't know if any or all are related but I'm just trying to figure out what I've got on my hands.
Thanks

The cruise didn't work because the sensor at the front of the mater cylinder was bad. It's the cruise control sensor that Ford has put the recall on.
The low idle rpm was just from the computer in it. I've since changed computers and it idles higher.
The rest of the issues (dying, metal rubbing sound, etc) were all related to the torque converter. It was on it's way out the door. Replaced it and no issues of the sort.

I know what your are talking about by noise my truck dose the same an it is coming form the bell housing mine is because my torq converter nuts are striped an my torq converter moves different from the flywheel. These e40d make some of the most strange noise i will never own one again they are a piece of chit an coast to much to build so they are strong.
