I'm nearby but I'm not sure I could really do anything for you, other than loan you a ford diagnosis procedures book. I do have a couple of questions though.
1. Is this a swap truck? Some pictures look like a swap truck, it could matter if things are routed poorly
2. Did you pull the codes? what were they? The information if spread across 4 pages now so I might have missed it.
3. You said you replaced the pip, what did you replace? was it this

The tach output of the EDIS is also how it talks to ECC, so that odd tach reading maybe that communication.
Woo you are in my neck of the woods! Books could be handy.
It is not a swap, truck was M5R1 equipped from the factory.
No codes. 91 so no OBD1 which means no code reader to plug in either.
It had CEL when I bought it which was just a bad 02 sensor. Actually during the 1 month after I replaced the flywheel where all was working I was cruising around with 0 lights on the dash. I miss those days.
And yes that is exactly what I replaced.
Here's the truck's door sticker:
Referencing the info
here shows that from factory it had an MROD-R1 (M5R1 I have seen some call it).
I will say although it's not a swap the transmission has been out before. The friend I bought it from and his brother did a DIY rebuild of it a long time ago. They mostly got it right, with the exception of 5th and reverse. It refuses to go into 5th and will grind if you try to force it. Will go into reverse, but it's still clearly not correct as if you for example attempt to put it into 5th it then won't go into reverse until you have a little mini argument with it. I've seen rebuilds of this transmission on YT and think they just put the little rod that extends into the back of the transmission in wrong. The one with the detents. It can be felt.. nothing is holding it in reverse. You know? Like you can feel when you put it into a gear normally there's a detent holding it so you have to give it a tiny bit of force to shift out. No such feeling on the reverse gear. Hopefully that made sense lol.
But they drove it like that for 5 years so although it is a problem I find it unlikely to be related to my current predicament.
lol, Jim hears a lot around here. And our events are usually a really good time, especially when we can get Gump and Eric to make campfire pizza.
It is a long trip, I looked it up, lol.
I almost bought a similar E-150 off a buddy awhile back. He let it go really cheap and I probably should have snagged it and kept it a couple years. Oh well. My current DD is supposed to just be a play toy, my 89 Bronco II Choptop. It’s a little chilly driving in the winter, but 4x4 now works again. Need to get my green Ranger and dump truck fixed so I can get back to the fun projects.
Oooo campfire pizza sounds yummy!
I really like this van. I bought it so I would have a relatively warm place to sleep over a winter while I was looking for an actual place to call home. I think I paid $4k ish for it which was counting a good sized battery, 3.5k watt inverter, and a small solar array.
Frame barely has any surface rust, new tires and a rusty exhaust which makes that 302 audible in all the ways that make me giggle.
Has some interesting history that I wish I knew more of. Was some kind of professional custom build by a local business that closed long ago and I can't find any info on. It used to have a wheelchair lift which you can still see the controls for on the back right tailight & the wiring for it still exists as well.
I'm sure it'll be a great vehicle for the next owner.
I don't have many, but here are some obligatory pictures:
Also I really do like Broncos and I could very easily see myself developing a fiscally irresponsible attachment to one (as I did with my ranger) if I ever ended up in possession of one.
