    Oil Pressure Dropping at High RPMS, meaning??

    Been searching for the past 1/2 hr or so and learned about how crummy our oil pressure gauges are. Anyway, I just changed the oil and have noticed not difference, so here is my problem. When passing/accelerating and rpms get close to 4500 rpms & higher, the oil pressure drops down. Not...

    Yeah baby, naked tranny exposed! :) This is greatly appreciated. My new manuals have made for some good reading, but a picture tells a thousand words. Your tranny looks way cleaner than mine. As soon as I remove it off the truck, I will start taking pictures to show you guys how bad it...

    Glacier, don't know if this will help some, but the following text is from an e-mail from txchange company. I asked them what was the differences in all these different kits, so here is the answer I got, as far as how they are supposed to be marketed: ----- Original Message ----- From...

    Thanks guys. I'll see if I can borrow an engine stand, but don't mind spending 50 bucks for a new good tool. Side note: I don't believe I've heard anyone mention the ATSG manuals? I just got mine in the mail yesterday and have only peeked inside. So far I like what I see. I paide 30 bucks...

    Bronco II - worst car of all time?

    Confused.. So is the BII a decent truck. Little things that break down I can fix. I have a '91 X with a broken tranny. My in-law wants 500 bones for his '87 5-spd BII. It's funny, cause he just paid like 250-300 bucks for new tires, so I figure it's an ok deal ;) What is it that is so...

    Pic of pan Opera, I'm cheap too, I think the HD torque converter will be the most expensive part or my rebuild. I have the manuals on the way to start reading. Opera, what does your tranny cooling system consist of? I'm definately adding a 2nd cooler. What went bad in your tranny...

    Thanks Steve for all your help. I have another request for info. It would be nice to know what sort of "working area" is needed. (ie, what size table, seperate cleaning table for cleaning? I don't have a work bench, but I have plenty of wood to make a heavy duty bench. Was thinking...

    I'm still here I'll be checking out this thread as it progresses. I have some pics of my tranny oil and what it looked like. Last night, I think I barely made it home. The Ex starting making a whining noise at stops. Sort of like a belt slipping, but sounded more like a really bad bearing...

    Glacier, it's not our daily driver. It's actually a 'spare' vehicle but it's the vehicle my wife & kids enjoy traveling in the most. Our daily drivers are a '97 Mazda sedan and I drive an older Nissan pickup (which didn't pass smog today, another big bummer). After work, I drove from...

    Thanks Glacier, like I said before, if you need any help researching anything (specific parts,etc) just let me know. I'd be willing to pay that much for a better tranny. I know I'd have to do some labor, but that doesn't scare me. My Explorer has 240k miles on it. New motor (from FORD)...

    Glacier, it's not a Transtek kit. TEC is their own brand name (short for TransmissionExchangeCompany). The torque converters are TEC brand as well and the company has a website here http://www.txchange.com What do you mean "it won't be $450", you're thinking more or less? Probably more...
