    Low on Transmission Fluid

    Topped the transmission off with Valvoline.com > Products > MaxLife > Automatic Transmission Fluid MaxLife > MaxLife® DEX/MERC ATF. I called their tech service line and the tech said it was ok to use for the Mercon SP or Mercon LV. I called the Local Ford Service manager and he said it would be...

    Low on Transmission Fluid

    Dave, you still running the MC Mercon SP or LV or or you using and equivalent? I know back in 08 you were still looking for it in the parts houses instead of having to go to the stearlership for it.

    Low on Transmission Fluid

    Went to check the ATF this afternoon and it is not even touching the end of the dipstick even when hot. Seems to be an old crud on the end of the dipstick when you pull it up out of the tube. I believe this is coming out of the fill tube. Of course can't get Mercon SP except at the dealer 35...

    The link you dboyw sent will pull up the 4R100 transmission flush as you said because your link is "http://superdutydiesel.com/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=3" TikiWiki : 4R100 Transmission Fluid Flush but the hyperlink in the Wiki at the top of the forum is linked to the wrong...

    Put the New Ranchos on Today

    Did you use the 5000s or the 9000s? My front shocks were worn worse than the rears but probably from carrying that PSD around for 6 years. Mine just started giving me a lot of problems over the last 4 months, noticeably noise from one of the bushings falling out on front right. I know a lot of...

    Put the New Ranchos on Today

    Ordered the new Ranchos on 7/31 but with Surgery in the neck on 8/05 it kinda had me laid up and all I could do was look at the new shocks laying in the shop. Middle son Dylan came in and decided it was time to put the Ranchos on for me. I didn't get the tire rotation I was planning on doing but...

    Help Needed Weird Electrical Problem with our 2001 Ford F-250 SD

    I live about 3 hours from Birmingham and never had a problem with mud daubers or mice except on a tractor that stayed in a barn near stored grain over winter. Does your truck have a sunroof that could leak? My research says GEM. They generally go bad from some form of moisture. Check yours to...

    Cruise Control STICKING

    Have you ever changed out one of these switches to see if it made any difference? I've also noticed that when I press the brake to shift from park that it doesn't always want to shift out of park and I have to depress the pedal a few times before I can get the shifter to move from park. I...

    Cruise Control STICKING

    Hey Dave, Went to the stealership today to get the Speed Control Deactivation Switch and he had the switch that goes on the end of the Master Cylinder but when he pulled it up in the system he said there were two switches listed but he could not tell me where the second switch was located. He...

    AC issue

    I think the drive plate is held on by a small 8mm short bolt ($1.92 at the stealership). Be careful about prying anything. Take the bolt out normal threads and the drive plate should come off with a little tug. Changing the clutch only will keep you from having to purge the system and recharge...

    What Size floor jack to use?

    Im having it in Laurel. There's a specialist there from Birmingham who will do it at South Central Regional Medical Center. Gotta have some relief. Maybe I should just lube the ole neck up with some WD40. Heard it helps Arthur in the joints. Thanks WD40

    What Size floor jack to use?

    Kind of hard to find anything not made in China now days. The rate we're borrowing from China we may all have to learn an oriental language to live here. I've got a 2 1/4 ton small floor jack now probably from China that will lift the front corner no problem but the problem is my being able...

    What Size floor jack to use?

    What brand, size, style floor jacks are you using to lift your Superduty? I want to buy one that would lift one side up at a time if possible for tire rotation instead of having to jack one corner at a time. Of course safety stands are used once it is up but just don't like having to move the...

    Check Engine Light on

    Sounds like I'll be going to get the little wool doughnuts for the batteries. I dont need to let the gremlins have any point to attack the truck.

    Check Engine Light on

    The place to start was the beginning and end. I pulled the positive cables off both batteries and under each clamp was some white powder corrosion. Cleaned it all off with a battery post brush and cleaned the clamps with the same brush. Sprayed both batteries with Battery acid neutrilizer then...
