My 03 did the exact same thing. Would go to neutral when passing but if I slowed down it would shift back into range. I work on heavy duty transmissions for a living I knew about the gasket issues...

Back again, for the 4th or 5th time. Lol

I've been in and out of here several times throughout the years. I used to be more active, and I plan on becoming active again. So since it's been awhile, Ithought I'd re-introduce myself. I'm in...

Re: What did you do to your ranger today thread IV

Haha yes, it's nothing new to me. I've replaced more front wheel bearings than I can count. In fact the one in question was replaced not too long ago. I rarely drive the truck so I would be confident...

Re: Trans fluid thoughts.

I went ahead and used the transynd. Everything worked fine on the test drive so I guess it'll do. I do need to get a new front drive shaft though, and the truck decided to develop a steering wheel...

Trans fluid thoughts.

Wow it's been a long time since I've been on here. Anyway I have a question that maybe some one will be able to help with. So I recently had to pull the 5r55e out of my 03 fx4 level II. Had the tss...

Still rockin the $300 harbor freight winch. I had to replace the crappy galvanized cable though. The price for the synthetic rope was more than the damn winch. Lol. I got a new cable made at a local...

35% up front. 10% plus the factory tint in the back. It makes it impossible to see out the back at night, but my spare pretty much blocks the rear window anyway.

I seconded on checking local...

Wrap the strap around one of the frame rails behind the bumper. It'll work fine for your situation. I would recommend the same for the rear too. Never been a fan of using the bumper.

I had the same thing happen once. Everytime I stopped the caliper would rotate and rub on the wheel. I would just backup real quick and tap the brake to get it back into place. This method worked...

If it's not a maintenance free battery, remove the caps and check the water level. If it's low fill it with distilled water.

A battery with low water will start to boil and can explode.
