Like blacksnapon said in post #2......don't be tempted to substitute. I have heard of too many transmissions having issues because something else was better. The current Ford fluid for the 5R110 is the Mercon LV fluid. It supercedes the Mercon SP and is NOT suppose to be mixed...

Agree with polarbear. Check the tag on the rear....usually a metal tag held by one of the rear cover bolts. It will give you specifics. If you don't have that then google.....I distinctly remember a link somewhere that gives a pic of each rear so you can identify by the bolt pattern. If you...

LOL....Brian found me! Can't hide anywhere. Thanks for the replies everyone. I did find out that it really is not necessary to rebalance the rotating assembly, but not a bad idea either. I also found out that the rear covers may be different and that I may need to swap when I pull the motor...

Any input from anybody?

New to the board....thought I would check in.

I have a spare 2004 motor that I am in the process of tearing down. The previous owner pulled it at 115k miles suspecting headgaskets and let it sit for about a year replacing it with a cummins. I want to rebuild and freshen up a few parts/pieces. Question I have is that it was in a manual...

As far as the new motor....the bottom end will stay factory stock as much as possible. Top end will have a set of massaged heads, 175cc injectors, Powermax turbo, custom intake manifold, remote oil filter, custom fuel system, etc. All hoses, sensors and the like will be new. Pretty much...

LOL! Yep...I was a bit numb for a few days. Insurance covered everything...so I did alright. Since I took all of the factory parts off of the car I had enough parts in the garage to build a whole separate car.

Thanks....I learned a lot from a lot of other smarter folks too. Did a lot of research and homework to build it the way I thought it should be. Ask away....be glad to fill you in on anything you want to know.I had a couple of sets of wheels....show and track. I ran 18" wheels for the most...

Sadly....almost unbelievably....I didn't get rid of it. It got taken from me in a garage fire. It happened shortly after I got it together. Never got it to the track.Plans for the truck? As in racing or puller? No.....just something to play with right now. Learning a lot about...

Another with the IRS in the car.....And the last pic in the original set was the rear with the Baer brakes installed....4 piston...14" rotors. Very nice....spec'd to throw your eyeballs on the dash when needed.There was nothing on the car I didn't modify.

Kept the IRS of course! Actually, I set aside the complete factory drivetrain and built another separate engine, transmission and IRS rear to the specs I wanted. The motor was in the 650-700rwhp range....transmission was Viper spec with beefed up internals. The IRS got a serious makeover to...

A few requested pics of the Terminator.....

LOL....yep....a lot of gauges. I think I am done with any more. The ISSPRO Performax is a nice system because you can have up to 17 gauges linked to the controller.You should know how informative the factory gauges are ( not ). Especially for the 6.0 diesel! I don't even bother looking at...

Sure...here you go......The nine switches are....Fog Lights Bed Lights Backup LightsHigh Idle Inverter Air CompressorAux Fuel Tank Drain Train Horn

Welcome to FTF!

Thanks guys! The switches are Carling. Very nice....each etched with the purpose and illuminate green with the dash lights. There is a red activation light when the switch is.....active. Just finished installing the lower dash earlier this month.

Here are a few of the truck.....

Not exactly....pulled the Cobra in the garage with only 5K miles and rebuilt it from the ground up for RR/OT. I upgraded every part and piece to aftermarket hardware. She was my baby though.....but she wasn't a queen. She liked it rough.As soon as I figure out how to post pics on this sight...

Finally got to the dash this afternoon and removed the instrument cluster to get to the C220c connector. Good call blacksnapon. Found pin #11 cold. Manual said that #11 should be continuous hot with overload protection. Pin #11 is on circuit #705 that traced back to fuse F2.41 in the main...

The name of this site was the attraction for me. I have owned nothing but Ford cars or trucks all my life so I can appreciate a lot of the forums here. Currently, I own the truck in my sig. I originally bought it to tow a trailer and my 2003 Cobra. Since all of that has been gone I have...

Thanks everyone for their input. Now that I see the diagram ( thanks Mil1ion ) it makes more sense. Thank you blacksnapon for giving me a starting point. Just got my manual today too...so that should help. Interesting to note that recently I replaced the light switch. Also have noticed that...

Lots of looks....nobody else has a wiring diagram manual that might have some input?

Well....actually....the door windows, sliding power rear, radio and reading lights all do not work. Not sure what happened. Noticed the problem after I was replacing dome light bulbs. I looked at the obvious fuses and circuit breakers inside the truck and all check good. I tested the fuse...
