Recently just began encountering this problem with my truck. I've been using 4HI and 4LO quite a bit as it is winter and snowing daily. As of this morning, my truck will only shift into gears if I first engage the truck into either 4HI or 4LO. What gives? This seems like an extremely unusual...

I just finished doing the clutch job on my truck, I got the transmission and everything put together and all buttoned up, and now the shifter is stuck and the clutch pedal has no pressure.

Hey all, I've been changing my clutch out on my truck and I noticed that the rear of the oil pan gasket it protruding from the back of the engine block by the flywheel. It is leaking a bit of oil and the lazy person inside me slapped a bunch of RTV on their but I know it is not gonna hold for...

Hello all, I recently picked up a 98 B3000 4x4 with 180,000 miles. I’ve had other 4x4 vehicles in the past but not have had the IFS that this Ford has. I really want to take this truck off-roading and beat on it a bit because I’ve always babied my other cars. The plan as of right now is to swap...

Hey everyone! I just recently purchased my first truck and I'm very excited. It is a 1998 Mazda B3000 with working 4x4 and a 5 speed manual transmission (M5OD-R1 I believe?) and 177,000 miles. I've had 7 cars in the last 5 years including everything from a Honda Civic to 2 BMW E30s and a Jeep...
