    truck won't move, please help

    Did you buy the tranny separate, then have a shop install it, or did you do it all through the shop? Also was it the A4LD tranny? I suspected that sounded high. My mother told me she drove past and the trucks in the same spot as it was in where she left it. So basically they probably...

    truck won't move, please help

    So the guy at the shop by my parents says I need to get the trans overhauled, said it's a problem inside the trans, and its going to be about 1500-1700 Is there a way he could figure this out without taking the whole tranny off? Should I trust this guy? i mean I've had work done there before...

    truck won't move, please help

    I can't even get it to roll backwards..the back tires just don't want to go backwards AT ALL. Whether the car is on or off.. and in neutral. Could it be the rear differential or something that locked up? Drive works fine. I mean i only moved like 5 feet after i finally got towed back to...

    truck won't move, please help

    How would the tow truck get it out anyway? I'm not sure a flatbed would have enough room to fit straight behind me considering I am in a parking lot..which is pretty busy. And since my tires don't even roll backwards at all. Do they drag it or something?

    fluid level is good. I just got it change about 3 weeks ago along with the filter. I was reading in some other posts about the O rings or something inside the pan for the filter?

    truck won't move, please help

    nothing seems to bog down....it revs like i'm in park. It just sucks I'm in a mall parking lot. What gets me is how 10 minutes before I parked everything was fine, then i go see a movie, come back out and i can't move. Parking brake isn't on or anything like that either.

    Can't go over 65mph?

    Originally i thought that might have been an issue with the problems I was having so I bought one. I'm thinking since i have a new one I might as well use it. I mean I could ship it back, but I'm not sure if I want to go through all that. Plus I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to shipping...

    Can't go over 65mph?

    I think I am just going to return my fpr anyway, it doesn't seem like I need it. No sense keeping a $70 part for no reason.

    Can't go over 65mph?

    I was tlaking about the fuel pressure regulator..i ordered that, and it looks too big. I thought the HCV's were plastic, how is the metal piece the actual valve? In the picture there is that metal piece with the cylindrical part, which looks like a fuel pressure regulator like the one i got in...

    Can't go over 65mph?

    I know they can..I've had mine up there...but that's the speed that most of my issues were occurring, I couldn't go any faster needless to say the issues are fixed. As for the heater control valve, the part's like $15 bucks..I could put it in easily. I could have put the MAF sensor...

    Rough idle and check engine light

    Thanks for all the replies I took it in this weekend and I am told I need a new MAF sensor and plugs/wires to start with. The guy started talking about codes and everything. 17* something codes. He said that oil from my K&N airfilter pretty much ruined the MAF. He tried cleaning it with...

    Can't go over 65mph?

    Thanks for all the info..I'd rather not drive that fast, but I just moved to Philly, and the people there drive a minimum of like 90MPH on I95, it's crazy. I'm going to take it in for service this weekend so we'll see how it goes.
