Is it fixed?
Nope. I'm not even sure they've had a chance to look at it. They were super busy on Friday when I dropped it off. I'm going to call at 5 to see what they have done so far.
Oliver Brothers called and said it's another broken intermediate shaft. It will be back together Friday, but they said they don't know why this is happening. They told me when they rebuilt it the first time, the clutches in the direct drum or whatever the intermediate shaft goes into were more worn than the rest. Not sure where to go from here. I think it has something to do either with the pcm or the valve body because they are the only old things left from before the rebuild. I think I will put a bts valve body in it and hope that's the problem.
Maybe Oliver Brothers are doing a good job and my truck really just makes 800 hp. Maybe.
Maybe from all the towing you do.
Probably all that wind drag from flipped out mirrors... :flipoff2:Quote:

Got it back today. ****'s still ****ed. It shifts worse now than it did before. Picked it up after 5 so I couldn't really talk to anyone about it. The 2-3 shift is much harder, and the 4-3 downshift is ridiculous. I'm going to call Truck Source Diesel and see who their go to guy for 4r100s is and go talk to them. Also, I didn't break an intermediate shaft this time, I stripped out the forward drum. They replaced some seals, the forward drum and they also put in a new solenoid pack though I'm not sure why they thought it needed a new one.
That sucks, think you can get any money back from them?Quote:

My truck makes enough power to compensate for the tires and keep up with a stock tuned 7.3, that's it. I shouldn't have these problems. I'm going to put a custom valve body from bts on it and if it happens again I'm either selling the truck or putting billet parts in it.
did you pay with a credit card. If so dispute the charges and let the credit card company take care of it.
I'm going to get a bts valve body first. That almost has to fix my issue and will be tons better than any valve body oliver brothers could put in there.
How's the transmission holding up?
better than the HPOP......
Transmission still shifts a little hard but overall is better than it was before.
Was driving the truck yesterday and it just died while cruising. Checked every possible thing I can think of and the hpop is only building 80 psi, and the injectors won't start firing with anything less than 500 psi. I swapped a new IPR yesterday with no change. I'm going to try a couple more things this afternoon and then order a new hpop tomorrow.
crank position sensor?
I have rpms on the tach while cranking, so i don't think so but I'm going to try a new one from ford before I order a hpop. I have multiple codes for low or no ICP. If the CPS doesn't fix it then I'll have a spare.
Truck starts with the passenger hpop line blocked off. Looks like I will be doing injector o rings Friday night.
Looks like a piece of a wire wheel killed my o rings on injector 3. Got new ones from Ford, and should have it back together today.

Why is there wire wheel in your engine?
It was behind the o rings, and there's nothing that flows there so it had to be there on the injectors I got and installed in January. Can't be something I did on install because they came straight out of the box into the engine on a table next to my truck, and there's really no way it could have gotten where it is except for it to have been there when the o rings were put on the injectors (by the builder).
Odd. Doesn't beat a ball peen in the transmission of an International 5088 though....
Anybody want a leveling kit for a 99-04 superduty? I'll trade straight up for stock parts(I need leaf spring center pin, u bolts, and track bar). Going back to grandpa status.

Why the change of heart?
No change of heart. I've ruined the truck with the small tires. It looks dumb, it rides way worse, and I completely regret it; however, I bought something else and I'm slowly returning this thing to stock. I haven't decided yet if I want to sell it or keep it as a farm truck.
I'm interested in the leveling kit... hadn't really made up my mind if i want to do it though..don't have the dough right now for aftermarket wheels or bigger tires
I have tires for sale too with wheels and lug nuts.Quote:

I have stock tires on the truck already.
I ran 37s with a leveling kit for a year and a half. With the wheels I have they tuck inside and miss the fender, but hit the leaf springs at full lock. I put wheel spacers on but then had to trim the fender a bit.
