Looks like someone did a glow plug resistor bypass, that's the three screws you're wondering about. In stock form, 24v goes to the resistor which then only gives the glow plugs 12v. Problems arise when the resistor begins to fail and doesn't drop the voltage properly. Instead of this convoluted...

It was a Mercury Grand Marquis. Read the post right before yours for the final outcome.

"Trouble shifting out", as in late shift, hard/harsh shift, doesn't shift? Does 1-2 feel normal? Open your governor door and pull out the governor to check it out. Also put a pressure gauge on the trans and see if it's making the correct pressure.

It's finally all over. After buying the truck back from the insurance co., I'll be left with $4,900 and change. It's not quite where I'd want to be in a perfect world, but I'm ready to have all this behind me. For the time being I'm just going to park the 1028. After the wreck I bought a '95...

Update: Well, it's taken a month and a half but the other guy's insurance adjuster is finally coming out today to look at my truck. The very first time i spoke with them they wanted to place some liability on me because of the police comments in the report. I had to inform them of the existence...

I think either manual trans will bolt to the np208 with the correct adapter, not the one between the TH400 and 208

Top end would be basically the same as TH400 maybe a little better because you won't have any converter slippage. How fast are you wanting to go? The 1009 is plenty happy doing 70-75. With an overdrive at 70 you would just barely be turning 1700 rpm's, that's a little low on the power side...

A few things to consider: With 3.08 gears in the 1009 having an overdrive is nearly useless. An NV4500 is a lot of expense and work to get something that you only half way get a benefit from, deeper first being the benefit. If you don't plan on changing the gears in your axles, but you want...

You might want to try low range.

Sorry, can't help with recommendations. I am curious though, why you want to swap trans. Are you looking for the lower first gear or the overdrive for your trip? I was curious so I plugged the numbers, you wouldn't hit 2000 rpm's till you started crossing 80 mph! Man I love your truck's look...

cuck vee ten twenty-eight The truck.

It was the app. My eye caught something as I made the above post that lead to the solution. For anyone having this problem: while typing a post, at the bottom of the screen, just above the letter "P" are three little dots. Tapping them drops the keyboard and reveals 3 selections behind it...

Take the governor cover off and check the governor. Check your pressure. They are both fast checks. Rule them out and you have fewer variables as to what is causing the problem.

I have been using Tapatalk with this forum since I became a member. It works really well. They just did a major upgrade to the app and now, when I try to upload a photo there is a message saying the site administrator has disabled photo uploading from the app. Is this just the upgrade being...

Get a pressure gauge and connect it to the drivers side port on the trans. If the trans is not making the correct pressure it will shift too soon or late. Was your new vacuum modulator working prior to the tire change? Simply changing tires shouldn't cause the trans to shift early. If it was...

I used a 1700 stall converter. That's as high as I would want. As to lock up. I put a 3 position switch on the dash and a 4th gear pressure switch inside the trans. The three positions are manual lock (in 2nd, 3rd or 4th), off, and 4th gear auto lock. The lock up solenoid is wired up to 12v...

On my way home tonight, I stopped at the station the wreck happened in front of. Turns out the guy working tonight was also working that night and saw the whole thing. He confirmed that my lights were definitely on and that the other vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed. He's seen their...

Marcus, thanks for the offer. Like you say, it will cost more than the truck is worth. At this point it's up to the insurers and attorneys, I'm going to be happy if I come out unscathed. It all happened in front of a large convenience station. Hopefully their cameras where able to catch the...

Now the nightmare begins. I guess the guys that hit me is connected. After a week and a half the police report was finally released. "Investigators Opinion of What Happened" is as follows (I'm Unit 2), "as the driver of Unit 2 approached the entrance to turn left, the driver engaged the brakes...

I was able to get the gear reduction bracket just a few months back when I was swapping starters. I kept the original starter and its bracket as a backup.
