a4ld

Hey guys, my 1989 ranger with a 1991 3.0 engine and tranny( A4LD ) is having problems! The 1-2 shift is hesitant and hard! The more throttle I give it, the longer it'll take before it shifts. It's gotten all the way to 5K rpms before. I usually have to get up about 20 mph( around 3K rpm) then...

Hello all, I have a few questions about my '89 ranger with a swapped '91 3L engine and tranny. I'm only 16, so I've recently started towing a trailer with a mower on it around town trying to make some money. Here recently the 1-2 shift has become bad! It wants to hesitate to shift and get real...

I know not many people keep 'em, but does anyone in Alabama want a 1989 2.9L from a B2? I did the 4.0 and the truck came with two 2.9s. The two engines, i could sell as a pair, because i have no idea if they work. I also have the engine harness for one 2.9. There is also a busted A4LD if anyone...

Last summer was extremely hot, normal 15 mile trips to and from work, so I added an additional automatic transmission cooler next to the factory cooler. It helped some, not sure exactly how much. It did not hurt anything. I don't want to kill the second A4LD transmission. I know heat will hurt...

I am wondering if my 87 ranger 4x4 A4LD is savable with a valve body rebuild. I just picked up this truck cheap knowing it had problems. I will try to say as much as I know about it. Clock shows 26k miles so i assume 126k. old township truck Park- works, I can rev engine reverse- Does not move...

So my 91 ranger 4.0 a4ld has not been holding trans fluid. There appears to be no dripping and the truck blows more smoke than usual. This makes me believe its the trans vaccum modulator which I have read is a common problem with these. Is that most likely what it needs or could it be something...

First, a local shop is having a deal for $270 base price paint jobs, so I'm rushing to earn the money and get my BII running, so now i have a possible issue: either way, I will black out the truck, so should I do gloss or satin? My friend's dad is taking his '70s Suburban to be painted OD Satin...

1988 Ranger 4WD --- transmission has developed problem(s). Reverse needs high revs to make it move. Overdrive seems to be affected also. truck still moves but not that well. Is there anything that I can adjust or change to see if this beast needs a new home. thanks to all.

Just saying hi and getting started on this forum. Just purchased an 86 4x4 with 2.9L auto, just a good ol truck to play and hunt with but amazingly almost everything works on this truck. It started its life as an XLT and in 86 that was top of the line. The truck runs decent and I am doing the...

I recently purchased my 94 Ranger with 200,000 miles on the clock. It was having shifting issues going into overdrive so I dropped the pan and found that the 3-4 shift solenoid had shorted out and also burnt up the shift control connector . I replaced both the 3-4 shift and TCC solenoids with a...

I bought my grandson (16) his FIRST vehicle, 1991 Ranger XLT 4X4 Auto A4LD 4.0. Thought I had checked the truck out well, BUT !! The OD does not engage and I have had sooooo many shops give me conflicting info on this I am going crazy :icon_twisted: .... Is there a POSSIBILITY it can be a...

I bought a 94 XLT 2wd from a friend that had an over heated transmission in it. 3.0 engine w/ an A4LD automatic. I took it to a shop and had it rebuilt. The shop called and said they thought a part of the wiring harness was missing. The wiring harness from the tranny has 2 leads coming up, One...

I have a 1986 Bronco II with an A4LD Transmission. It has a smooth 1-2 shift and the shift from 2-3 is a very high rpm (4500 roughly). After the 2-3 shift, it will not shift to 4th at all. I did not have my 2-3 shift and then I replaced the shift modulator and got that back. I have two routes I...

i bought an 1989 ford ranger XLT, 4x4 2.9 and i love the truck it's tough and usually simple to fix. about a year ago i was doing donuts in the winter on some ice and my over drive stopped working when i came to a complete stop. i changed the ATF/filter and looked for any wear and stuff like...

Using my 94 ranger 4 x4 4.0 A4LD with trailer towing pkg (incl external trans cooler) I pulled a 3000 lb trailer around town for about a half hour, outside temp 85 deg. Truck did not like the heat, belched ATF out the bellhousing, even left left oil spots on the trlr. Offhand I don't remember...

My trans will not shift untill the engine is warmed up. I can thow it into 2nd manually then get it to where it needs 3rd and throw it into drive or od and it drops back into 1st and my rpms shoot through the sky. My trans is rebuilt and also only has 57k on it. This is very $%^&*(# annoying.

Here's the breakdown Went and played in the snow with my bronco II i negelected to watch my trans fluid temp and stopped at it had hit 290F So i stopped and checked no nasty brown fluid but it smells burnt. So my question is a hot flush and band adjustment nessasary now? Things to consider, the...
