    01 Transmission shifts fine but slips above 2500rpms

    230,000 Is on the truck- we bought it used but supposedly had tranny work done at 130,000. It's had a well cared for life so I don't doubt it but without proof it's just talk. I am- on the other hand- a cheap A$$ and don't want to replace the transmission unless I know it's toast. Part of...

    01 Transmission shifts fine but slips above 2500rpms

    Thanks- I think I'm going to drop the pan and valve body and take a look at the gasket, fluid and solenoids. The valve body gaskets are inexpensive compared to the alternative. Not sure what else to try- if I had shift flares, flashing OD light ECT I would say it might be done for- with none...

    Can the factory bed cover latches be released manually?

    I removed the lock cables from my salvage yard cover and attached new nylon pull ropes to unlatch.

    01 Transmission shifts fine but slips above 2500rpms

    Have a 2001 Sport Trac with tranny issues. Aprox 30,000 miles ago I replaced the valve body, gasket plate, and solenoids which included the updates. Adjusted the bands at that time. It hasn't had any issues until this week. Shifts through all gears fine but if your cruising down the...
