    Questions about 4x4

    I have a few concerns with my dana 50 4wd. Is there a maximum speed you can drive with it engaged? I drove freeway speeds engaged and heard some bad growling and vibrations. It would do it at any speed, but really bad at 60 mph, especially if I let off the throttle. The sound was similar to...

    03-present GM SUV and Trucks

    If you have or know anybody with a 03-present GM SUV or truck, most likely you will not be able to get the spare tire to lower. There is a secondary latch on the cable that will not let the tire down despite what the manual says to do. The other day my dad got a flat on his 03 yukon so I...

    97 E4OD issues

    Ok here is one that has got me. I changed the trans fluid in a 97 F super duty and now it will not stop leaking out of the pan seal, especially around the bolt holes. I have serviced many transmissions and have never had this problem. The truck does not have to be running for it to leak all...

    I'm in a pinch

    Guys I need help with a decision. I found out the other day that ford is no longer using a diesel in the E series trucks right now because the 6.4 will not fit. I need another new truck and I will not buy a GM or Dodge. I like the diesel option in my 06 E350. The truck needs to be an E...

    Trans Temp

    What trans temp do you usually get with the torque shift trans? The reason I ask is I think my gauge is bad. Only 3 months old and I know it is a cheap autometer. When I turn the key on it reads 130 degrees and after driving it reads 200 degrees. I know the temp is not a 130 degrees dead...
