Ever since I changed out the vacumn diaphram on my transmission I have a shift flare from what I think is 2-3 that happens at around 20 mph at medium throttle. Will this ruin the bands or drum?

I had finally decided to jack up my truck and pull the hose off the vacumn modulator to see if there was any fluid in it. I went to O'Rielly and got one. It was an adjustable one. Anyway, I put it in with the control rod from my old one. Put in enough fluid to bring it up to full level, got the...

I have noticed that my temp needle is not moving off the cold mark lately. I know the rad is full and it's not overheating. Is it the coolant temp sensor?

What would cause transmission fluid to get up in the vacumn distribution block? This is a 1992 4.0L with an A4LD. I have caps on all the nipples except for the PCV, brake booster and the one in the photo going over across the intake. Where does that one go to?

That's a pretty sweet set-up. :icon_thumby:

Got the hangers and shackles in the mail today. Less than a week from Shock Shack. Now wait for the weekend to get started.

B.H.O. get's reelected.

Ouch! Not much clearance there. Watch out for them holes. :eek:

I have heard that the only stupid question is, one that is not asked. So, I was just wondering if I could bolt the leaf spring right to the frame with a #8 grade bolt, bushing and washers or would it put enough stress on the front that they would break also? :dntknw:

I am in the process of running a new brake line to the rear brakes on my 1992 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0L Automatic. I want to remove the line from the master cylinder and plug the hole for now. What size and thread pattern do I need to get?

Whenever I take my dog somewhere in the truck he usually slobbers up the side windows. So instead of using up my paper towels, I found out that newspaper works good for cleaning glass, along with Sparkle or Windex.

Did the seafoam treatment today, then took a 85 mile trip. Seemed to have better throttle response, and purred like a kitten the whole way. I poured it in the brake booster hose.

I have a leak in the rear brake line about 1/2 way to the back. I have it clamped off right out of the master cylinder right now, so I only have fronts now. I was wondering what size the fittings are, and also the size of the line. At first I tried a couple bolt thread patterns to just plug the...

Anybody got any ideas or comments about converting an automatic shift from the column to the floor, and what I will need?
