Re: ??Parttime/Fulltime/AWD?? part time 4wd is when it is 2 wd drive until you shift it to 4wd , fulltime is like the new explorers with the 6 cyl , it is in 2wd until it senses slip and then gives traction to the axle that has traction , there is a switch to lock it to 4wd so all axcles turn...

had same problem , o rings on intake and new cam tensioners [fixed the problem . it's a free fix . if your dealer does not know this change dealers . mine fixed it on the first visit

same thing happened to me >> [then i lost the 2-3 shift a week later . just had the trans rebuilt on warranty and it shifts better than when new . also it does not hunt around when going up inclines on the highway . they must have made some improvements because it shifts alot better than ever...

i hope it's synthetic >> [my last transmission lasted 460,000 km with the synthetic fluid , and it still shifted with a bang . in canada i can't find mercon v synthetic would it be all right to use mercon iv synthetic ?

had mine replaced >> [ at 58,000 km . it took 1 whole day . it broke on a trip to fla and drove it like that for 4,000 km before they had the parts to fix it . lots of noise but no damage . good luck

oil changes [i have used synthetics and change every 20,000 , my old car had 450,000 km and no problems . i don't even use ANY oil between changes . it's my 3rd truck using synthetics and no problems yet at 185,000 km . [Edited by jerry989 on 10-22-2000 at 09:43 PM]

i ran them > they did not last as long as my dunlops ,or have the same traction . try out dunlops they work very well in snow and mud , and they lasted me fo 70,00 miles , the tread was still good but the robber was cracking on the sidewalls . 7 years old it happens . the generals only lasted...

probably ran over a detatched truck tread > happened to me . thats my geuss . good luck

i did that now my speedo is right on , with >> stock tires it was off by 6 miles pr hour !

and the thread below is crazy , move up to canada were lawsuits are rare ! the ford dealer installed the bloddy tires for me ! no complaints , allthough i have some about those flintstones that came with the truck !
