Well isn’t that nice! I thought it was fixed Nope Different transmission, same thing. Starts off perfectly smooth… the more you drive it, hit or miss, the worse the shifting got That fact that it shifts great for a while and then progressively got worse… all shifts were firm. So we know it is...

Poor old 96 It was a v8 I’d be after it just for the axle and crush weight But in California are you allowed to crush them without a title?

Interesting I have always just used the forcepts… as long as I’m careful there is no damage Now I’m curious about the actual tool and to learn how I’ve been doing it wrong ;)

I have a piece if brake line I bent a small 90 degree at the tip, it attaches to my air compressor and air gun… very useful for blowing out cooling stacks on bulldozer, trackhoe and explorers!!!

Infared thermo They are cheap! Very useful Can check each cylinder temp at manifold Can check various temps throughout the cooling system Could be a miss? Lean fuel? Things that cause an engine to run hot One more thing how does she roll? Any drag in the brakes or drivelines?

210 climbing in so cal and putting the heater on.. I agree something is wrong! Not normal Keep going! You’re doing a good job If it was easy we wouldn’t have anything to talk about

You can take that plug apart and get enough wire to repair your existing piece. Or just replace the wiring pigtail It is a simple Switch… wire is coming in, if there is adequate pressure then it switches and allows the wire signal to leave It does not matter which wire is in or out

You need a mustang! Or Maybe a puppy? Did the trans get hot or? 4.6 supercharged : 390 ft lbs of torque / 390 hp + 6r auto divided by your right foot = matter of time Everyone needs a 4r70w

Went back a re read Almost seems like a slipping trans? You said trans pan temp got up to 190… that is pretty dang hot for a trans… I mean usually I see 180 in the pan when it’s hot normal operations 150 is more like it Could be slipping converter causing rapid water temp rise on hill...

Looks broken? The white part Nice work

Those ass hats sell the Bosch pump with “no box” and then they stick cheaper pumps in the Bosch boxes and they make a little profit coming and going

I agree Had the same thing happen Pay for a Bosch Walbro shows up because the Bosch supply is not there Since Covid getting your hands on a Bosch pump has been difficult Amazon eBay cannot be trusted for this Rockauto summit speedway jegs better for this but they have also been known to...

Thank you for your service Welcome to Ef!

People like to change the entire in tank hanger assembly because it comes with a new pump, strainer, pressure regulator and level sender I see no need to replace all that if the fuel level sender and regulator are still working (usually fine) I just replace the pump and strainer and the fuel...

It’s in the bottom pipe, last picture It is not threaded

Dextron / Mercon iii are the same thing basically it’s regular old School atf You do not want Mercon v or lv

No just labor you bring the parts and fluid Need 3 quarts of Mercon 3 for the trans drain and fill If I provide bolts fluid etc you are expected to reimburse me. Stuff like rags, brake fluid, disposing your old fluid, any welding needed the shop covers as part of the removal and re install...

Or it’s got trapped air and the sensor is reading high because it’s steam not water The little pin is a weep hole, as John said it must go up … but in a sohc there is no up lol the thermo lays flat You might just have some trapped air With a laser thermometer you can read temps on both...

1997 yes that is your speed sensor in the transfer case. Vss No cable in 97, last year of the speedo cable was 1994. They used the same sensor and simply plugged the port for the cable Rwd vss is in the tailhousing of the trans 4wd vss in the tailhousing of the t case You can usually find...

I agree this is a cakewalk Rear wheel drive explorer is super easy to do the clutch in Mustang or Ranger dudes would be all over this. I would charge you $5-800 to do the job complete at My shop Take two days working a couple hours a day Yes the t o bearing comes attached to the new slave...

I’m sorry but clutches simply don’t last 250k miles that thing is long overdue for a change You did good getting it this far The pilot bearing is inside the flywheel at the engine side of the input shaft The throw out bearing is attached to the clutch slave cylinder and is what the clutch...

$775 for 4 285 installed is a great deal! Crosswind is made by linglong tires a Chinese manufacture … not bad. Made in USA is the best rubber but China is good, better then Taiwan or Indonesia rubber

The little e brake drums inside the rear rotors are adjusted front the back through the backing plate.. just like a normal old drum brake They are supposed to be “self adjusting” which means in reverse going slowly you depress the e brake and it should adjust the drum shoes outward into the...

The absolute best parts you can get would be motorcraft or Dana spicer… those are oem After that I second the Dorman heavy duty lower ball joints Moog or ttx for the upper ball joints and control arms Dorman makes a good sway bar link too Dorman really stepping up their game as they...

So there is an inspection cover on the side of the trans so you can see the clutch operate. You can get a decent idea of the condition of the driven disc through there You can also measure the travel and see if the slave is moving the clutch the required distance which I think is 1-3/4” but that...

I have a 2014 wrangler w the 3.6 Only 36k miles Continuously has issues with drivetrain control modules communicating … First it was the wireless start system then the abs pump and now the tire pressure Monitor system won’t cooperate. I fear even with a hemi upgrade those won’t solve the real...

That’s the deal! Good truck will get you home, or at least really close!

You said it! Even getting the tensioners from Ford… rattle rattle rattle after long sits and cold starts… it’s crazy! It’s like they used a differently part during assembly then you can buy now at the dealer… the factory tensioners can last 90-200k miles or more.. these aftermarket ones seem to...

Brett just installed manual tensioners in one of his sohc trucks the other day He agrees, been keeping me updated on the project. I like his install method and will copy it. I have a sohc now in the family too, I am about to install manual tensioners in. I will do a how to… Just because it was...

You are not going to re use that part It should spin out easily once you remove the keyway The best way to get the keyway out is with brake clean and a magnet. It won’t come out easily if there is pressure on the it, so make sure the nut is not trying to spin loose or tight, but is just...
