My 98 revs it's self on startup after sitting over night. It starts up easly and normally. But after a few seconds it revs up then dies down, up then down. At least 5 time or until it's warm. Theres also a sharp click that happens, from what seems like the passenger side of the motor, during...

Hey! Love the truck man! So Sick! I've been wanting to widen my frontend so I was hopin youd tell me your secret on how you LCA were modified. More pics would be sweet to.

Ok. So it would not be wise of me to replace the hose and fill the system with one of the conversion/refill kits youd buy from the auto parts store? To get the best cooling and longest life out my system I should just fork out the money and have someone do it right? I appriciate all your help...

It's been cut for months now. Everything leeked out pretty quick. would that be considered evacuated? I have the stuff to recharge it already.

What about a hose from a junk yard? Could I disconnect one from a donor truck and install it on mine? Any special tools required?

Hey everyone! So after I did the 3 inch body lift awhile back I didnt tie back the lower AC line that runs next to the idler pulley. As you can guess the the belt cut thru the hose. So my question is can I cut the line and splice it back together with a piece of tubing and some hose clamps or...

Your right it is the sohc. He said there wasn't any check engine light or inclination that any thing was wrong. He said it didn't even crank first. Just turned the key and instantly blew. Everything on his truck is completely stock. I looked at all his connections and everything looked to be in...

So he should probably have the head looked at?

I totally understand the balloon concept. I was kinda along the same lines. But wouldn't there have to be a problem with the valve? How would the pressurized air make it bake to the intake?

What would cause the backfire?

Yeah! I'm trying to load the pics up now. Update....Pics loaded!

Has anyone ever encountered their intake manifold blowing to pieces? My friend changed his air filter, drove to the DQ, got back in to start the truck a BOOM!!! Literally exploded! His trucks a 97 explorer with the 4.0L OHV. What would cause this to happen? Will this happen again once we swap...

Got it all put back together and installed about 4 days ago. Just driving around town and a couple short freeways trips I've put around 220 miles on it. First day and about the first 14 miles was kinda scary. Didnt shift right and had that 2-3 flare. Second day was perfect!!!. Must of had air or...

Ok, Manual came in. Trannys apart! Found a parts washer on craigslist so I'll be picking that up tomorrow. Havent done any cleaning but simple inspection hasn't shown any metal laying around.

Thanx! I'll keep all that in mind. Still waiting for my manual to come back. Seems their whole back stock was misslabled. Once that comes in I'll begin.

Ok. So I've got the tranny out of the truck. Gonna give it a good pressure washing before I start the disassembly. Recieved a ATSG manual yesterday but they sent me the one for the 5R55S/5R55W so I've got to send that back for the correct one. My master rebuild kit arrived as well. It's...

Got another question....Airbeast mentioned something about his torque converter. How do I find out if mines crap as well? The tranny and converter has just about 200K miles. I'd hate to do a rebuild, reinstall in to the truck and find out the converter is dead.

No, I dont have any codes. The O/D light flashes but I haven't had them read yet. I tried taking it to a tranny shop but he wanted to charge me $40 just to scan. I thank you all for your help. It's greatly appriciated. My trucks been down since Oct and I kinda miss it. I thought I had it figured...

:help: Can't seem to find any info on actually rebuilding the 5r55e. This will be my first attempt on a FULL rebuild. I've already tried adjusting the bands, testing the servos, VB rebuild w/ kit to fix the 2-3 flare. Nothing seems to be fixing my problem. Truck takes forever to get moving...
