This is my first Ford truck that I've owned. It's a '92 F150 w/ 302 and the E4OD trans. 3:55 gears. It has 76,500 miles on it. I bought it about 2 years ago with 63,500 miles. It still had all the original parts on the truck. So I put heater hoses, belt, radiator hoses, flushed the cooling, new tires, thermostat, dual exhaust, belt tensioner on it. That was the first year I had it. It was one of the peeling paint problems, so I saved up some money and started taking it down to paint it. Well after I painted it, I put it together and started driving it and it started acting up ( going down the road and it would just cut off and it would pick back up) after 3 weeks it was being the computer. So I replaced that. Well this past June my boy was wanting to go see the peaguins at Chattanooga Aquarium for his birthday. So we load up and go toward Chattanooga. We get about 2 hours away to take a pit stop and I notice it' s pouring transmission fluid. We rent a car and go on to the aquarium, then we go back home. The truck is still 2 hours away in McDonalds parking lot, so Monday I get it home. The torque converter got too hot and berped 2 quarts of trans fluid , I put a new TC in it and a cooler in it. Got that fixed. Drive it for awhile and I been noticing a oil leak, antifreeze, and rearend leak. So then last week my cousin and I tore it down and put a timing chain, water pump, heater core, oil sending unit, harmonic balancer, and radiator in it. It has never had the timing pill in the truck, and everybody said it needed it. So I put it in the truck, boy it ran alot better.Well this past Friday night it started holding itself back again, so Monday I took the chip out it ran a little better but the rpms were about 300-400 higher than normal at 55 mph. And it don't feel like the lock out on the TC was locking in. So I got the trans guy to drive it and he said he thought it was in the timing so that where I'm at now with this post.. Sorry for this long post. Thanks alot for your help.
