    Code P1740: How to replace TCC solenoid?

    I've been having some transmission issues for a while and it finally threw a code, P1740. According to Autozone's scanners this is a bad TCC solenoid, so I am going to replace it. I found some instructions online for a different Ford transmission and the solenoid was just inside the transmission...

    99 - Fuse #11 blown, no running lights, fogs, or dash lights

    Hey guys, I just started having this problem today. My front and rear running lights go out along with my dash lights and my fog lights. So far I've traced the problem to the #11 fuse (15A) in the under-the-hood fuse box. A new fuse lasts maybe 10 seconds, the lights flicker/pulsate, and...

    Complete replacement exhaust

    Where can I buy a complete replacement exhaust system? I'm probably going to need a new catalytic converter as well, so I'm looking for a headers-back system but I'm open to all options (i.e. buying cat and exhaust separately). I'd also like a slightly louder than stock muffler which is why I'm...

    Turn signal comes on with brakelight

    So it has just rained here for 3 days straight and starting yesterday, my left side turn signal would come on and stay on whenever I hit the brakes. Not flashing or anything, just on as long as I held the brake pedal. The signal worked and blinked fine if I wasn't on the brakes though. Even with...

    Dana 30 Durability

    So I'm planning on putting a V8 in my jeep, and after reviewing some tire size/gear ratio charts, it seems that with the 700R4 and my 4.56 gears, 35s are the way to go. I'd like to avoid a front axle swap so I'm wondering if the Dana 30, locked, with the following chromoly shafts and u-joints...

    Is a tuner worth it in my case?

    I'm strongly considering a Henson tune for my truck but I have a few questions. I don't want to have to spend the extra money on Premium gas, is a tune going to help me if I stay with 87 octane? Auto trans, 4.10s, 33s, SOHC, no CAI or any engine mods right now. What level of improvement can I...

    just bought a Jeep!

    I got kinda sick of my explorer looking too nice and not having a solid axle so i just bought an 87 yj wrangler for $1000. I've got to either rebuild the carburetor or get a new one but other than that it doesn't need any work. I plan on about 5" of lift and some 33s. yes I'm still keeping the...

    Wheel spacers

    I'm considering getting some wheel spacers to give my truck a little wider stance. It's on 33x12.5 tires with 15x8 wheels right now and I think it'd look great just a little wider. I have heard and understand it puts more stress on certain parts, that's my only concern. My question is what size...

    XLT style running boards, Bedlined

    I've been doing a little searching and have found that the XLT style running boards are not hard to take off, but I haven't found anything about putting them back on. My plan is to take them off, grind the rust off, and cover both boards with bedliner, then put them back on. How hard is it to...
