dcdyd, they are correct by stating that they are 8.8, but as I said it is the metric strength and it converts to a grade 5 US. Go ahead and use them and get the 10.9's, I dont think we have any at my work right now, but if you cant seem to find them let me know I will see what I can round up at...

I am trying to pull the oil pan on my 1999 4.0 SOHC and it seems that the head size on the bolts is not anything that I have in my tool box. Is there a special socket to buy or did someone just round off my bolts when they tried to get into it before? I dont want to just knock on a socket to...

Be sure to understand that the number stamped on the head of a metric bolt isnt the same as the US Standard grade. A metric bolt stamped with an 8.8 is roughly a Standard Grade 5 bolt, a metric 10.9 and up is roughly a grade 8 bolt. Too many people come into the fastner store that I work at...

is the 1997 5r55e able to be put in a 1999 SOHC explorer?

410 thank you for your input, and I was correct on the title not in my first post, it is a '97 4.0 SOHC into a '94 Ranger. but if the trany wont hold up maybe I will rebuild the trany behind the SOHC 5r55e and put them both in with a wiring harness swap as well do you think would be a better...

Anyone?? Do I have to swap over the wiring harness?? someone must know something?

how tough is it to put a 4.0 SOHC from a 97 Explorer in a 94 Ranger with a 4.0 OHV? What do I have to rape from the explorer to make this happen? Will the 94 Ranger Trany and Transfer Case work on the 99 engine? any help will be greatly appreciated.

I will update it when he gets it in, looks like I will be a car down for a week or two, good thing I work from home

well, I have not got it to him yet but best he could figure was that the bands where shot and overheated the trany, he said it isnt uncommon for an overheated trany to spit fluid from the vent tube. I will have to take his word on that one, I am not quite as versed in auto trany's, more of a...

Again Knox5.0, thank you for your reply, I have been doing some more local calling and my regular shop and he pointed me in the direction of a shop that specializes in Fords and he said is trustworthy. And by regular I mean anything that has to do with electrical connections and most sensors...

Ok I think I posted this in the wrong section to start with so here I go again, I am a new member here but a long time Ford owner my first car as a 16 year old was a pinto and it just stayed in me ever since _________________________________________________________________ First post My...

thanks for the help Knox, I will try filling it up and see what happens, I do know that it doesn't move by itself, I had to tow it back to my garage.

thanks for the reply I have looked at the lines they seem fine and dry I am guessing that the fluid came out the line that I see because it is not wet anywhere infront of that line the tranny was not acting bad before, but the "O/D off" light would flash once in a while, I flipped the...

oh I am sure someone can help me, I just want to make sure I am on the right path with this, is that the breather? and why would it spit out the fluid?? if I have to replace the tranny I will I am just wondering??

My transmission just lost all of its fluid, I got it towed home and up on jackstands and I see what looks to be a vent tube on the drivers side of the tranny near the shifting linkage that appears spit out all of the fluid. My question is, is this a vent tube for the tranny and what would have...
