U Haul in Hoover, Al would not rent me a tow dolly to pull behind my '99 Ranger !?! Yet, U Haul in Ft Worth did rent me a 2 axle trailer using the same vehicle. Maybe it is a local U Haul problem rather than corporate wide ??

could be the band adjustment or a bad servo on OD. people are quick to blame electronics on most tranny problems. , , J...JMHO

replace the joint. it will save being stranded on the side of the road later on , , J...JMHO

V-8 or V-6 ? what year and make tranny are you trying to swap ?

IIRC, the 97 has an extra sensor that 98 and later 5r's don't have....

here's a link on welding magnesium (filling holes, etc.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weqTWwaaL0g#t=160

just my personal comments...take them with a grain of salt. ;) I have welded high magnesium VW cases (blocks). it takes some work and proper rods/temps/proper (slow) cool down. most welders won't try because it is time consuming and they can't expect to recoup the actual labor. , ...

a bad EGR will create lots of problems. check the operation of the EGR valve.

thanks ! . one of the early 4.6's (1992 model) also had the 5.0 bolt pattern, IIRC.

none got past the anti-siphon valve in the lower neck. . I encountered another vehicle where the same valve stopped the sugar from getting into the tank. looked like the gas solidified the sugar into hard rock candy. had to hammer & chisel the sugar out of the neck. :eek:

is rick going to a 5.0 or a 4.6 V8 ? . never really paid attention; which bolt pattern does the 4.2 have ?

sry, no pics. apparently the kid nibbled all the chocolate off the candy bar. took a while to figure out what it was. lol

we had a customer a few weeks back who stated she could not put gas in her Mustang. I immediately thought some station had an early load of winter gas & the nozzle was cutting off at normal flow rates. . we tried to fill the tank with a gas can, same results...wouldn't go down. nuttin' to do...

more than a few I have worked on have dropped the anchor off the OD band & the OD band was broken. it's the only one I've seen that actually falls into the pan like mdlongo stated. , , J...been right a time or two :)

probably some failure with the OD unit itself. OD band may be broken or not adjusted properly. OD clutches may be toast. or the OD servo may not be applying. , , J...all trans failures are not because of electronics...

a "mechanic" just over hauled this tranny, but : it will go in gear when the engine is revved & immediately neutrals... . any suggestions as to what he missed in the overhaul ?

the bolt pattern spacing is the same, A4LD, 4r44e, etc.... someone might can help if you can tell us what exactly is wrong ? . the most common problem is not getting the torque converter seated into the front pump. this causes front to back spacing, not allowing the transmission to mate up with...

get the lines from the '90 when you get the tank.

studs are equi-distant. I've never marked a converter stud. :) just make sure the converter is seated into the front pump gears or you will have problems.

possibly boost valve problem. have you checked line pressure(s) ?

try www.car-part.com ....shows quite a few in the PA area. if they're too far away, shipping should be low.

I have an '88 BII that has a donut spare mounted inside. No rack or hinges outside the vehicle. Also the glass doesn't lift separately. It is the only one in these parts built like that ??

wrong name, sorry...input shaft is what it's called http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=73007&stc=1&d=1365364378 shaft is what it's called

sounds like the mechanic may have left out the intermediate shaft...they fall out easily and nothing will work without it. , , J...had this happen on two used trannys in a row...the salvage yard was leaving the shaft out lol

make sure the kickdown/throttle valve cable is attached on both ends (and not broken)... , , J...^^^only thing that popped in my mind at the moment
