    TH400 bangs into gear

    It looks weird but added cooling is always great for an automatic :) I think the previous owner was into fabrication because of the bumpers and that transmission pan thing. Now that I look at my own picture again I think I see an exhaust leak in the "corrugated" bendy part of the exhaust...

    TH400 bangs into gear

    Wow... okay, thank you posting the obvious, because it sure wasn't obvious to me! Will investigate that. Now, before I go to order a filter and get a bunch of ATF to do a transmission service since the last one was done over 15 years, ago, can somebody confirm for me that I actually have a...

    How to paint my bumper

    I want to paint the front bumper of my truck. Right now it looks really ugly. I cleaned the crap off it but there are still major rust patches. Should I just like spray over it or do I need to remove all the paint first, or what is the best process? Also, should I do white or some other color...

    Coolant Issues

    I don't think the water pump would cause it to lose/consume coolant, just not pump it. Your coolant could go a few places: -an external leak, but you'd probably notice if you left the truck running for a few mins and found it on the ground -into the oil. should be obvious on the dipstick though...

    TH400 bangs into gear

    Sometimes it idles higher than other times. So yes, I would say sometimes.

    TH400 bangs into gear

    What is a carrier bearing? ATF level is fine. I don't know if idle is high - don't have a working tach yet.

    TH400 bangs into gear

    My research points to the following possibilities, but I'd still appreciate some input: -too much atf -idle speed too high -it's normal? -bad u joint (maybe my center drive shaft bearing support mount being broken is causing it?)

    HOW TO: front clip swap, 73-80 front clip on 80-87 cab/frame, square eye to round eye

    Damn... that looks great. Maybe I'll do that some day.

    TH400 bangs into gear

    The actual automatic 1-2 and 2-3 upshifts and downshifts are fine, but P/N to R/D are pretty hard. Is this normal? Yes, I brake completely before shifting in/out of gear.

    will a truck cap from ford work on my truck

    Ok... the guy didn't answer the door when I went over there. I'm thinking to buy a toolbox instead of a truck cap, so I can still use the bed for hauling something if needbe. I found this one, but does anybody have a recommendation on a better toolbox? Looking to spend $300 or less. I'd like to...
