    Very nice. That remote in the cup holder looks very similar to mine. ;) I also like the placement of your CB. Might have to copy you on that.

    new HU in 93 xlt but no bass

    Ok so the wife went out and bought me a new HU from wal mart. She new I was saving up for a new one and thought it would be a wonderful gesture after I bought she and my daughter tickets to the Wicked play. Anyhow, I love her and she did pretty good. It's made by Dual. Not much of a name...

    Here's mine. Bullbar was free. Not made for a Ford but modified it slightly. Only mounts to frame. My cardomain page 9 shows a better pic without the bumper.

    Ok after searching, O/D still refuses to work

    OK so on the hwy i was running 70mph at 3000 rpms and kicked it out of o/d and no change at all. guess the shift solenoid is bad for sure. That or the electrical connection. 30* here so it will have to work this way until it warms up a little and I can get under it and see what I can do.

    Ok after searching, O/D still refuses to work

    I always drive it in overdrive but found out through a scanner that the shift solenoid was stuck closed so o/d wasn't really engaging. I was trying to find out if this was something I could fix and according to info here i can do it if I get over the nervousness of attempting it. Tranny's scare...

    Ok after searching, O/D still refuses to work

    Ok so I have a 96 XLT 4wd and the 4r55e transmission. Full at warm temp. This morning when pulling into my driveway at the curb that runs through my subdivision the tranny dropped out of gear and reved up and then banged back into gear. Searched and found some things to try. While at advance...

    Axle code says open diff. but the pic is confusing me

    Sorry guys the Axle code is 45. Both tires spun until the right one quit. The left just piled the snow up on the beginning of the spin. Last night while driving the back end would break loose and fish tail if I got on it.

    Axle code says open diff. but the pic is confusing me

    So my 96 xlt has an axle code pointing to an open diff. but with the 3 inches of sleet we received last night my driveway shows different. Is this possible with an open diff??? Thanks in advance for the info.

    Front sway bars removed still getting popping

    Ok this is driving me nuts. 96 XLT 4WD. I was getting a lot of popping and squeaking when going over bumps and decided to replace the sway bar bushings. They are really bad so I removed them to compare with new ones. On my way to Advance Auto I noticed the popping was still there. No...

    Overdrive or No overdrive? That is the question..

    Part is $78 at Ford. $30 for filter and new gasket kit. And then 8 or so qrts of ATF. I may just attempt it my self. I've called a couple of places and if they are gonna charge more than $150 I'll just do it and chalk it up as a slow learn.

    Overdrive or No overdrive? That is the question..

    Dude you wouldn't believe how many times your comment went through my head going home yesterday. When I got home I would turn off and on the ignition until I was sure the check gauge light was not the same as a check engine. I'm wondering if the guy removed the light so I wouldn't see it...

    Overdrive or No overdrive? That is the question..

    Ok so i figured out either the CEL light is either removed or blown so I went by autozone to pull any codes on it. P0761 Mechanical condition-solenoid stuck. P0153 O2 sensor So, now that I know what it is I am trying to find the part and most autozone advance autos don't carry it. Has...

    Overdrive or No overdrive? That is the question..

    wow it has been a while but I finally figured out some things. It is the 4 speed. Some one mentioned the torque converter locking up (budwich) would feel like a gear shift. Well that's what it is. thanks bud No overdrive. I took it by Mr. Transmission last Friday and they will test drive for...

    Overdrive or No overdrive? That is the question..

    ok I got up under it and it looks like the gasket for the tranny pan is leaking. So i know I'll have to change it. I looked all over and I can't see a tag or a model number on it anywhere. Where can i find this on the tranny it's self?
