Hi everyone, read a lot of forums over the years and this is my first post ever. Been around fords my whole life. I got a few projects in the mix right now, 79 f250 crew cab 4x4 460 work horse restomod, 02 ranger 4x4 conversion, hoping to be able to share pics and knowledge once i figure this forum thing out.

 

Have an 87 f250 extended cab doing a lot of aftermarket work on it just joined to get advice on things

 

New member checking in from California. I just purchased a 2001 F250 Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 with the V10. I joined to learn more about my truck and get help when needed.

 

The welcome message sent me here, so here I am.

Bought a 95 4x4 van on eBay in Tennessee with cancer and drove it out to California. We'll see if I can save her

 

Stumble across this forum because my radiator is leaking but happy I found. Lots of good info!

 

Been digging through these posts for a while now lots of good info and folks!

 

Bought my first Diesel, a 6.4L, '08, 250. It has been good, but I got stuck in the mud, very deep around Christmas, I cleaned her off as much as I could when I finally got home, but now I am noticing a roar in my wheels and some steering wobble when turning right and breaking. Then today the check engine light came on and the trans feels like it is slipping. I fear that my bearing/hub is going in the front and that has caused my trans to start failing.

 

just joined after getting an explorer given to me ..my ranger got totaled lol btw smashing into a steering wheel rly rly hurts. anyways just needed help and maybe can help others cause the person that had the explorer was not very good with vehicles and just getting stressed and exhausted tring to figure out all the problems solo

 

Good evening darkAcolyte. Wow! Yeah, I'm sure hitting that steering wheel must have been some kind of painful all right. I was riding shotgun with a buddy of mine back in 76 when he lost the steering in his car. Well, to make a long story short, I wasn't wearing a seatbelt and ended up hitting the dash board with the left side of my ribcage. I got a ruptured spleen and a cracked rib out of that one! LOL. So I can sure sympathize with you here. Aaanyway, what kind of issues are you having with your Explorer?

 

know its the wrong area to ask but are u able to drive without the transfer case motor on by chance? not so much rly a tech question sooo

 

My Ranger didn't have a transfer case motor on it when I first bought the truck. I was able to drive it just fine but you just can't shift it into 4 wheel drive without it. I bought a motor off of ebay and now my 4 wheel drive is working mighty fine.

 

My names Troy, just joined today, just picked up an F-150 recently and found this forum while researching information

 

sweet thxs alot bman saves me alot of headache since this is my only means of transit

 

New 2016 F250 Crew Cab Long Bed owner from NJ. Look forward to being an active member and learning from you long time Ford owners since this is my first Ford. My prior truck was a 1500 Ram.

 

Welcome aboard Troy. To be honest I'm still fairly new to the site here myself. I've gotten some good info though when I needed it concerning my Ranger. If you've got questions then I'm sure there will be many out here that will be able to help out o.k.
