Just laying here thinking and searching. Looks like my ABS code c1440 is most likely my brake pressure sensor. ok, so we know I have a ABS/brake issue.. I also have a TCC code as well. Which I believe is causing a lock up issue... could it be possible that my transmission issue may be from my...

Also nothing above code wise throws a CEL. The only message/light I get is a flashing O/D light followed by the “check transmission” light when the O/D starts flashing. It will continue to trip the “C-Trans” light about every 10-15mins if I continue to drive it. No matter the speed or if I’m in...

It’s still the p1744 code. I went and got the truck scanned fully today at work. Here is my list of recent codes. I have googled them and seen the meanings, so thank you, but that information is known. As far as it goes, if you have any Ideas on those codes, please feel free to reply. trans...

P1744 when I bought this Mountaineer, it failed to lock up. Interstate speed I was running 2600-3000rpm. since then I have done the solenoid pack, Sonnax valve body, filter & fluid. I know the fluid is to proper level. And I drained the PCM by the Positive/Neg terminals touching while...

That is good to hear. It seems pretty well maintained for the miles and age. Both explorers I had before were 4.0L and I did the timing guides once, in my 97. I had a chance to get a lifted ranger while doing this search for something and decided to stay away from the 4.0L because of that reason.

Much appreciated and thanks. hoping it'll cure it for awhile at least. the thing runs good other than the o/d light above 55mph.

hey guys and gals, been a long time since I've been here. Glad to be back in the family and see the site still around. Long story short, my car got totaled a couple months back and I bought me a 2005 Mercury Mountaineer Premier (4.6L) with 114K on the dash. I am now dealing with a flashing o/d...

no it is still off. I gave up for the night. will try again tomorrow most likely. She is going to call the dealership she got it from and see if she is eligible for the recall for the hard to shift from park and mention that the indicator is off as well and maybe, just maybe they will fix that...

it was about 32 degrees out. so it was a little cold. tonight while I was under the truck looking at things I seen a rock jammed in between the lever and the transmission. once I removed it, it did come out of park smoothly. when I had the console apart looking under there I did not see any...

no biggie Thanks tho.. I personally am a 2nd gen guy, haven't had to touch this 4th gen other then oil changes.. i'm sure ill figure something out. hopefully sooner then later before bigger problems arise

Nope didn't help. I seen that thread when I was searching. But my adjustment will need to be made at the transmission I do believe. I went and got a Haynes manual to check and it only tells how to adjust the column shifters, not the floor models so that was a waste of $26 for the book. The...

Ok, I have tried some searching (here, google and youtube) and haven't had much luck. My wife couldn't get the truck in reverse the other day (not the first time, but the worst time) so she used some force and got it into reverse. now the shift indicator is off. not by much, but it is off. I...

if i wouldnt have seen the frayed pieces under the loom i never would have thought about that happening..(the line goes from hard line to that weaved looking stuff, which is what was pinched and frayed) And yeah, i used the gas tank access panel thread as my guide.. since i live in ohio i knew...

well doubting it was the fuel pump now, after i cut a hole in the floor and installed the new replacement i went to change the filter and found that the inlet line at the filter was pinched so bad it was restricting flow down to 10psi.. so now im thinking i wasted $150, on the bright side, i...

great thread.. my truck died the other week and after $120 tow and some testing i realized i needed a fuel pump.. ordered one from rockauto, pulled up this thread and began.. i did run into the issues other 98 owners were having, that there was a thick frame/support piece in the way, but...

the first post was long enough, so wanted to get these questions in its own post.... anyway i jumped timing? (dont think so since she will start and idle for a bit), i ask because i have had chain rattle since i bought it last year.. last week my gas pedal bracket snapped off and i tack...

ok, driving down the road slowing to a stop the truck dies and left me blocking traffic.. would not fire up afterwards so $120 later i get home... wait about a hour and crank her over and bam, fires up and idled good for a few minutes then chocked out, shook and died. (have videos but will have...

K, Thanks guys. Not sweating the engine swap, even doing the whole thing by myself.. I was just more worried bout PATS related issues really since I have read a few in the past. Ok, no more over thinking things as I usually do. Gonna start draining and unbolting things tonight most likely...

Thanks for the reply vroom Yes just swapping the motor. The trans in my 98 is good but the engine has timing chain rattle and its been getting worse. And since my 97 has trans problems but a great reliable engine I ffigured it'd pay off to have a back up ready to go in. Just wanted to make...

Ok, long story short is my 97 has some trans issues and w/240k on the clock and also owning her for 9yrs, I believe she has done me good and time to make a decision. 1. Drive it to scrap yard and collect my $500. 2. Sell it on craigslist for $600 (had a few bites already) 3. Sell my...

I love my Lincoln welder. I have the handy mig (I think that's what its called). Just sucks I can only flux weld right now. I need to get some tanks and well, have been slacking for the last year and a half on that. I got pretty good at welding w/out them, eventually tho, on the "to get list"...

Very informative. Thanks again man, ill show this to him when i see him and start on the rebuild of the original t-case. He has a few other vehicles so ill make sure he don't drive it till it gets rebuilt and swapped in.

Hey doom. Thanks for the reply. Matched set. 99% sure. Haven't seen him out today, hopefully catch him 2morrow. Even if they weren't I don't see it doing what its doing. Its bad man. As your going in forward motion(45-55mph.. example) and you ease off the gas or completely let go its like...

My money is on the tie rods, especially if they are original w/them miles. I had the same issue w/some cheap ebay tie rods I installed. 4 months later I had the same symptoms as you and thought it was the u-joint on the shaft, nope it was the tie rods. As stated above, You can easily...

The guy next door has a 99 or 2000 eddie bauer. He has been having this "free spinning sound" when coasting, easing off the pedal but it will go away when you give it gas. He took me for a ride because it was hard for him to explain it.... I pin pointed it to the transfer case area...
