    1979 F100 Ranger trans fluid?

    I did but it just seems odd that a truck made 3 years after they change would call for Type F. Make me wonder if someone needed a dip stick and just got one from a salvage yard or something.

    1979 F100 Ranger trans fluid?

    Hello men, I've got a real head scratcher here and need help. I have a 1979 F100 with the 300 six cylinder and an automatic. I dont know which C series trans it has but I need to add fluid. The issue is I know Ford switched fluid from type F to Dexron/Mercon around 1976. So why does the dip...

    1994 digital mileage counter blank

    No lights flashing. No idiot lights on. Good info there. That makes sense to me. I'll be looking at that engine speed sensor. Is it on the crank?

    1994 digital mileage counter blank

    So I have a few things going on and I think they are electrical related. First the mileage counter , which is digital, is no longer showing anything. Second the tranny is shifting hard. Are these two issues limp mode? What kind of computer is on this truck? I checked fuses and don't see...

    Think my tranny is in limp mode?

    Yeh I’ve been battling mice for 20 years. Somebody dumped a cat here a few years ago but I got rid of it. Coyotes were trying to get it. Wish they’d get on the mice. Well the reason I first asked about the fuse is because someone had jumped a wire across some fuses in the fuse box. I noticed...

    Think my tranny is in limp mode?

    I don’t do much towing. I was just taking an empty trailer to a friends house. I is a pretty large triple axle trailer. But in general I don’t use this truck to tow with. I mainly use it around here to lift stuff with the crane. That may be part of the problem. Not using it enough. I’ve been...

    Think my tranny is in limp mode?

    I didn’t notice it. Not really sure where it is.

    Think my tranny is in limp mode?

    I haven’t used my truck in about 8 months. Took off in it Saturday pulling a trailer. After a while I realized the odometer and Speedo were not working. Then the tranny started shifting real hard. I didn’t have time to mess with it because I was on a tight schedule this weekend. I just parked...

    Jesus Freaks WMO thread!

    There’s a guy over at the lister diesel forum that runs his Benz on nothing but waste oil and gas. I don’t know what his mixture ratio is but he’s been doing it for years. I stopped at a few oil change places and garages to try and get used oil. They all dump their antifreeze in with their oil...

    Water in intake, what parts if any are saveable?

    Might run. I had water in the cylinders if my truck. Pulled the glow plugs and barred the engine over gently as suggested by this forum. Squirted som wd 40 in the cylinders put it back together and no problems so far.

    6.9IDI Nightmare

    Personally I wouldn’t trust a shop diagnosis. It might be the cdr and they could be saying rings and pistons so they can get a rebuild price then just clean out the cdr. But I’m paranoid like that. I like to try and see what’s wrong myself then if I don’t want to fix it I know what a shop would...

    Lift pump mechanical or electrical?

    $30? I can’t find one cheaper then $70. Guess I’m looking in the wrong places. Lol. I agree. I like to keep things mechanical. I just did the tractor that way in a pinch. I had an electric fuel pump laying around and put it on to get it working again and have been surprised that it’s still...

    Lift pump mechanical or electrical?

    Is it better to convert to electrical? I did this on a small tractor as a band aid 10 years ago which became a permanent fix. Just wondered if it would be as reliable on the road?

    Air Intrusion Question

    Is this a common mod or did you happen to do a write up on your set up?

    Will I be happy with these headlights?

    What type of diffuser do you need to use with leds? That’s pretty impressive.
