So its the newer style with the ring gear on it, I'm suprised it started the truck!

 

yea i know im glad i found out what it was but it also sucks cause i bought one at autozone (the only place that could get one) but it didn't fit had 5 holes for torque converter studs and the crank bolt holes were wrong ford cant get one either so i ordered one from a place in Pittsburgh will be here at noon tomorrow i hope that one fits why is this thing hard to find

 

id think a trans shop could get that

the flex plate came and guess what this one didn't fit either and this one is number 3 there is only one guy in the country that has one that fits cause the crank on my truck is different they only maid them this way for six months you will never guess how much this is going to cost me $400 this guy bought them all from ford and no one makes them aftermarket

 

Thats a new one to me!! Wow. Insane it was still starting for sure.

 

i finely got my truck back up and running it was 450 for the flexplate i still cant believe it would run like that small price to pay to not have to drive the old f150 any more that 302 is so worn out and was getting like 6-8mpg
dose anyone know anything about the banks trans command could it have had something to do with the flexplate breaking

 

Were the tc nuts tight? is the starter tight? Just a though maybe things weren't lining up any too good
