Steve, So you are saying that it is the first link at Tasca, correct? This will slide on without any special tools? The one that was on my old transmission is split and looks just like the second link PN 56178AT. Thanks

Thanks Ron. 3L2Z-7L323-AA Looks different than the one that is on my old transmission. I think that it is a continuous ring and requires a special tool to get it on the shaft. https://www.tascaparts.com/oem-parts/ford-seal-3l2z7l323aa The one on on my old transmission looks like this...

I think that I know what is causing my lockup issues. I pulled the converter off the old transmission when I was moving it out of the garage and I noticed that there was a yellow teflon ring on a groove in the shaft. I'm pretty sure that there wasn't one in the groove on the donor transmission...

The logging software will allow you to monitor the tach and the TSS output. I haven't hooked the laptop up yet but may try doing it this weekend. I don't think that it does it cold. My understanding is that the TCC solenoid is not actuated until the transmission reaches a set temp. It seems to...

I can get the truck to not go into limp mode, and not throw any codes by essentially telling the torque converter to never lock. The truck runs fairly well like this. When I allow the normal lockup to happen, I can run for a while (about 5 miles) until the OD light starts flashing. If I scan...

Hi All, I got the donor transmission (from a 2008 3.0l) installed in my 1999 B3000. As Ron had mentioned the newer trans has two sensors that are left disconnected and everything else bolted up well, but I am having issues with the truck going into limp mode after a few miles of driving. I...

Ron, Do you know why the torque converter part numbers shown on rock auto and advance auto parts are different for 1999 and 2008 3.0l rangers? Rock Auto 2008 F571L5AC Stud Circle=9.3", Pilot Diameter =.825" 1999 F57AA Stud Circle=9.5", Pilot Diameter=.75" O'Reilly 2008 TC1312...

Thanks Ron, This helps out a lot. I think that I have located a suitable transmission and will most likely give it a go.

I meant Ron, not Don.. My apologies

Thank You Don, Very much appreciated. I think that most of the info that I read online was stuff that you had posted. Do you have any thoughts as to why when you look for these on Hollander Parts or Car-Part.com they give you two options for transmissions for 3.0l 2wd ? Do you know what the...

Good afternoon folks, I have a 1999 B3000 2WD with a 4R44E transmission in it that is dying at 280000 miles (worn servo bores). I'm trying to find a low mileage replacement and my options get a lot better if I extend my search to include the 2001-2008 3.0l models which have the 5R44E. I've...
