    Maybe Dead Transmission

    OK so added some Mercon and a few things to diagnose the problem. It appears that there is fluid coming from the bell housing plug. Trying to attach pictures on my phone. Can't figure it out. Keeps asking for URL

    Maybe Dead Transmission

    I saw that one, but it says that it does not do trans trouble codes. So I looked at the 702/3 series. But with other family cars. The 802 was a good all round.

    I would agree I think the codes would help immensely. Bu with the holidays don't have the cash to tow for a code for a repair I may be able to do myself. If someone in central Florida has a reader I can meet up with and pull the codes, that would be great!

    Thanks, I guess I will try it, Replace the 3 solenoids, and the filter. I see a lot of kits that you replace the solenoid, the filter and a gasket. So if thats it, then I guess it is a very workable repair when you are laying under it. It looks like I can remove a solenoide pack and bench...

    Maybe Dead Transmission

    So after a ton of research. I have a 4r70w trans. So I can find them from f150 but not a lot of explorers. Since only about 8-10 % we P vin suv's. find trans that they say will fit. But they are the 5 speed. If I replaced it straight away. Would it fit and would it work with a AWD system

    Maybe Dead Transmission

    Nerd2000: That is the main reason why I don't want to get ridd of the car, I do love the option on it, I know it needs some exhaust work also, and the engine probably needs a good once over. Even 17 years old, it is still fun to drive. 96eb96, will have to tow it in and see what they say.

    Exhaust system replacement

    So driving around lately and the car it sounds like hell. I am thinking it is in the muffler. It gets louder when I hit the gas and quiet when no power is applied. It is the stock system that came with the car (2000 v-8 limited). Still has power when I push the pedal down, how can I check if...

    Thinking of selling

    well this is a eye opener. It is a lot less then I was expecting. So with that being said, should I try to off load it, since it is at the bottom and any money I put in will not help raise that #, or just keep it till it's dead?

    Thinking of selling

    Yikes :eek::eek::eek: That is what I am thinking, I know it is what the market will bear, and I want to make sure I am realistic with what I want out of it, because I am thinking of getting something else, so I need to know what I can spend. I will try CL also, see what plays out. I paid 4K...

    Thinking of selling

    How To: Upper Control Arm / Ball Joint Replacement (Lots of Pictures)

    But my understanding if I keep the 2 piece kit on the pass side, I just need to remove and then replace the 3 bolts that is holding the second piece to the wish bone part. Since I am not taking that off, no need to replace that right?

    How To: Upper Control Arm / Ball Joint Replacement (Lots of Pictures)

    No, I do not have them. Where would I find that? I was going to fight it right over to the shop for alignment. Less then 5 miles. If I am reading things correctly if I count the turns, mark the bolts I should be able to get it back somewhat to where it was. Good enough to get me to the...

    How To: Upper Control Arm / Ball Joint Replacement (Lots of Pictures)

    2000 UCA Pass side replacement I am going to replace the pass side UCA shortly, I was going to use the 1 piece, but I think if I stay with the 2 piece it will be better for me at the alignment shop. I have UCA, I am doing the shocks as well, replacing to KYB gas adjust, is there anything else...

    Complete Brake Job

    Thanks for the tip on the brake lines. I am going to look at the connections and see. I may do the rest of the job and have ford do the lines. I am looking at what I think are good brands. So I am not to worried, just was wondering if some one tried Wagner pad or some other name brand and...

    Complete Brake Job

    Ok so it sounds like there is not a huge difference over a brand or another or anything to stay away from. The brake lines are just the soft one's going into the caliper. So I am going to have half the line disconnected to replace the caliper anyway. IS that extra step that big a risk? How...
