I recently had my '01 SportTrac tranny rebuilt because it would not engage in reverse. Now it slips in reverse in 2WD, especially when the truck has been driven a few miles, especially under load (like going uphill). No codes come up on the tranny. Trans place says there is a problem in the...

There was also gasket material, 1-2 inch chunks and smaller, in the bottom of the pan, and a bunch of very small pieces stuck to the inlet screen. I sprayed it down with solvent (brake cleaner is what I used), then used an air hose. I did this a few times to loosen all the little pieces of...

Thanks. One thing I forgot to mention is that I had the whole truck up on stands about as high as I could get it, so I could move around with relative ease. I could actually roll over on my creeper while underneath. That and a good pair of safety glasses kept most of the gunk out of my eyes...

I thought I would post a new thread. So many people in this discussion group as well as every shop manual I read told me I had to remove the engine in order to replace the oil pump. After doing a lot of search on this board to get tips on removing the engine, one person, 99EB4x4, said he did...

Dealer only part, I think. It was a year ago I priced them, then decided to live with it. There are 12 of them, and they are 50 or so bucks a piece. I about choked. I take it back, they are not dealer only, but they are pricey no matter where you get them.

Pump is fifty bucks, lifters are 500-600 for a set, if I remember correctly. I can get a lower mileage engine out of a wrecked X for that price.

TOY I had this happen to my 81 Toyota truck. Tough little truck, but I took a LARGE puddle too fast and sucked water in. Engine killed, and I tried immediately to start it again. That was a mistake. It turned over a couple times, then nothing. Someone towed me out of the middle of the 1-1...

91 xlt lifter clatter oil pump prob I have had lifter clatter for about 2 years now, off and on to start, now it is constant. Occasionally at idle it will get quieter, then louder, then quieter. The last few months I have had an oil pressure guage that reads normal if I rev or am driving, but...

Did you have the auto hubs that went out? Did you repair them, or did you have to replace them?

It was pulling fine going uphill, so I am sure it was going into 4 wheel. The clunking only happened occasionally, like when the truck would buck going over a rock or something. And it was very loud. Could it be that one or both hubs was turning itself out, then back in again? I have a...

Thanks for the advice. It makes no noise in 2 wheel on regular roads. I was running downhill on a steep grade in rugged terrain. I was letting the engine slow me, so I was only braking occasionally.

I bought my Exp a couple years ago from a woman who who was selling it to get a minivan to transport her two kids (with no plans for more, her husband reported). From what I understand, she rarely, if ever, took it offroad (or used the 4 wheel drive). That said, I have only taken it on...
