5r55e high pressure spikes at WOT (codes P0741 and P0743) Today my transmission started doing funny things when downshifting or accelerating at WOT. It will spike to 500-600 PSI (estimated, based on the needle pegging on my 0-400 PSI VDO trans pressure gauge) when accelerating at WOT from a...

What does it adjust? Is it really needed? Thinking I'll replace my worn out one with a Napa Chassis Part single piece model.

OK, so I have a leaking freeze plug on the drivers side. No biggie, it's a small puddle, but it is slowly getting worse. Where is the best place to get a replacement and do you happen to know the size offhand? Lastly, I'm throwing code 214 so like everyone says probably the cam sensor. I was...

This thread originally appeared here, though the pictures were unavailable. I have decided to rescue the pictures from the depths of Internet hell and repost the thread here so that others may use this info. I was sucessful in getting 5 of the 6 images, although I feel the first two are all that...

Bare with me guys, I'm in Iraq at the moment, and cant get on the chat to ask the regulars... My wife said one time while backing out of a parking spot, she stepped on the brakes, and from what she describes to me the ABS activated for some reason. Another time it happened as she was...

Anyone with one of these racks care to help me out please? I'm looking in to getting some light adapters made that will hopefully be MUCH cheaper than what surco sells them for. I plan on needing about 10, so I figured the way to go would be CAD and a company that can laser cut them. All I need...

So I want to tow my 2000 4x4 from CA to MO via tow bar behind a Uhaul. from what I've read so far. Transmission (auto) in neutral, transfercase (1354 manual) in neutral. I shouldn't need to pull the driveshaft as a lot of J**P owners do, because the oil pump in the tcase is driven by the rear...

Must you use push lock hose for push lock fittings? Common sense says yes but I swear I've seen other people using push lock hose ends on non push lock hose before.. That damn hose is expensive!

Anyone ever added a trailer side wiring harness connector to the front bumper so when the truck is being towed you can hook it up to the towing vehicle and have the tail lights function? Just curious =]

I stumbled upon this gem today. Basically, it lets you inflate and deflate all four tires at once. That product is very reasonably priced, however I'd like to build my own and need help sourcing components. I would gladly purchase it all setup, but I want more flexibility than that design...

Here is what I THINK is correct, does anyone have input? I'd like to put on new cooler lines, I'm tired of leaky rubber hoses for my cooler and filter. Transmission fittings - no idea Factory stainless hard line - 3/8 tubing Radiator fittings - 5/8-18 threaded fitting, uses 3/8 hard line...

Anyone ever done this? I'd like to remove the factory pump from inside the tank, and hook up an external frame rail mounted pump. If it dies, it'd be a lot easier to replace, and if the need ever arises I could still bolt a stock pump back inside the tank. Never seen any info on this, but I...

I just installed a 2' firestikII, and got the swr to 1.2 on 19, it is 1.7-1.8 on 1 and 40. This is with my Midland 23-110 SWR meter. SWR on the radios meter closely matches this, while the Midland meter is hooked up. Once the midland is removed, the Galaxy's meter will read a good SWR on 40, but...

I'd like to pick up a factory wiring setup. I saw this picture but the part number doesn't turn up anything =[

Thought I would post these up for the benefit of the forum. This is how I installed an antenna mount I made last weekend. Pretty simple to make, mine is made from 12 gauge steel, 3/4 inch wide. So, first off you'll need some supplies. The screws I got were a little long, but that's ok, there...

I think I want to use a high torque RC servo hooked up to my throttle cable for setting a fast idle for recharging batteries when winching or welding. The servo will be activated by a simple 555 timer circuit to hold it at a preset position. Here's the torque specs: Torque: 267 oz-inch...

How would I connect some COAX to it? Do I just leave the sheilding cut and crimp the center conductor to the lug?

Looking for some beefy cables, 20 feet long. All the prices I have seen have been pretty high so I was wondering if anyone knew where to get them a bit cheaper?

What happens is when I unlock the door with the key, i have to flick the key really fast to pop the little knob up high enough. If I just turn the key normally, it will only go up about half way and when I pull the handle the knob goes down and it locks completely. I literally have to unlock it...

The VB in my 5r55e needs a GOOD cleaning. It's covered in super fine gunk. I think it is starting to cause some valves to stick, as evidenced by the jerkiness of my pressure gauge. Just use carb cleaner and then let dry thoroughly? Do I need to somehow work the valves or something? I want...

So I'm thinking about installing an inclinometer in my truck in a custom overhead console, and am wondering about my options.. Currently, I'm considering this one: I know it's cheap, get what you pay for, yadda yadda, but I was wondering if anyone had any real experience with it...

I'm going to wire in a switch to turn off the A/C compressor, so I can hit it when a short hill presents itself on the highway, or while offroading. Turning off the AC makes a noticeable difference, especially at higher altitudes where you lose about 3% of your power per 1000 feet. Made things...

Mine are all rusted, inside and out. I cant seem to find them on FPN. Any ideas? Pick and pull is a last resort... Picture borrowed without permission from this thread =]

A well known fact among people with experience with the Ford 5r55e transmission is that it has an internal thermostat that blocks fluid flow to the radiator until it reaches a temperature of 150-175 degrees Fahrenheit. I believe the spec is 150 degrees, but personally mine doesnt open till 175...
