    has anyone replaced the ignition switch before?

    im going to say the odds are that your ignition switch actuator broke. this was very common in the ford trucks. look under your dash and find the rod that goes down into the slider switch. if the rod isnt moving when you turn the ignition its the switch actuator. the good news is its a $7 part...

    Trans problems

    honestly Im not sure what convertor slippage feels like. but when the trans goes to shift into 2nd the tack goes to around 3K and then it comes back down when it goes into gear.

    Trans problems

    well I was driving my truck lastnight and the shift from first to second has some major sliping going on. the fluid looks nice and red so i never changed it but i belive the truck has been sitting for almost 2 years before i got it. should i risk just changing the fluid? I changed the fluid...
