I have a 00 excab 4x4 that was 3.0 auto and I swapped a 5.0 and 4r70w in it. I made sure to swap the computer, key tumbler, antenna ring, and pats module behind the passenger airbag before putting power to anything. I fired it up and it ran great for about 6 miles. I figured it was out of gas...

a while back I bought a 00 excab 4x4 with a bad engine. the previous owner drilled a hole in the gas tank since it was full. while I was dropping the tank I broke one of the plastic fittings on the pressure line coming out of the tank.FYI you can buy the ends and they have a fancy tool that...

i am trying to get my 5.0 swap done and keep running into issues. I cut the steel line on the fuel rail when I pulled the 3.0 out and now I can't get the cut part disconnected from the line. I even pulled the spring out with a pick but it is just that stuck together. Also the shifter cable...

Truck is a 00 ex cab 4x4 transfer is a 4r70w out of a 99 mounting. Do you need to flip the shift arm on the transmission? The cable just doesn't seem to line up right

I was talking with a dealer on a 14 ford fusion s this week. We made plans to drive 2 hours to look and more than likely buy it after I got off work yesterday. I got a call about an hour before I got off work and was informed the car sold. I called my wife and she wasn't happy at all. I had her...

I am working on a 93 Ranger 4.0 and m5od. I broke the clutch line while removing the trans and bought a replacement with the trans I bought. I couldn't get the new line out of the slave cylinder so I installed the trans and line together. Now the issue I am having is I can't seem to get any...

about a year ago I bought a 00 ex cab 4x4 with a bad 3.0. I had been looking off and on for a swap for it whether it be another 3.0 a 4.0 or 5.0. I had not been having any luck finding one reasonably priced. Today out of the blue my nephew called up asking if I would be interested in a 5.0. I...
