might have found a truck that might be worth getting but it needs transmission fixed.
anyone around here have the tools? I can do the work just don't have the tools anymore.

there are a couple of tools-a spring compressor thing and a couple other special ones-can't remember exactly--but 400 bucks is alot cheaper than 1600.Quote:

2005 f150 4x4 AT something I think
this is gettin scarier by the moment....if the tranny has been thru LL and hi water, what shape is the motor in???????
yep that's what Ill have to determine--rebuilding the motor aint nuttn to it either--even if I had to do that too (which I would rather anyway) id still be way ahead considering. my guess on the trans at the moment is that somebody has pulled too much weight and burnt it up--just a quess. My worry would be if it has a busted gear or broke shaft--if that was the case--I would just buy a new trans for 1600 buck--hopefully I can take a look at it this weekend.Quote:

I gather from this post that you never heard anyhting on the one that was stolen. Man that sucks!
SeaRay
Is it the 4.6 or 5.4? I had the 5.4, run away... No power and problems... Went through 2 trannys
If you can get a new one for 1600 jump on it, ford tranny's are a pain, have had 2 built in these diesels and both had to go back to the shop and be gone thru again. Pulling it aint a prob or putting it back either, if you decide to go that way I got the jack you need and the plate to hold the tranny. If it has an E4OD in it run for the hills.
That should be E4OD in that truck. Bad about breaking input shaft. Gonna need more than a few tools to work on one.
Bad about the holes in the case stopping up too, one inparticular and causes em to burn up. Last one I had built I got a core out of a wreck and had it built and they still had to go back in it.:bangheadQuote:

tks for that. If I rebuilt I wouldn't worry about any of that--I have a tendency to buy something and rebuild it anyway--but it It would be nice not to have to worry in the first placeQuote:

It's definitely something to watch for, first time around the "PROFESSIONALS" that built mine didnt get the case clean, first time it went out I was pulling a 40 foot gooseneck loaded with round bales, You talking about a pain to get my truck out from under that tailer loaded and another one hooked up.
yep it happens. Best thing I ever did was start dirt track racing when it comes to vehicle repairs--you learn the tricks taht will make things last (out of necessity) I just wish I had the time and place to do ALL of my own--I trust my stuff over anybodies just about.Quote:

yep know what you mean!!Quote:
