I hear you there. For some reason folks cannot get it through their heads that you either get two-digit OR three-digit Codes... NEVER both. The counting game takes some practice to be certain. The pauses are consistent from the ECM during the test. The problem with that is what people believe is a "second". Always two-seconds between digits and four seconds between separate Codes. So, operator error, yeah, I'll concur, they run rampant.

Well any trans with a Ford small block bellhousing will bolt up to the motor. A C6 would be nice but you'd lose overdrive....

So you don't want to spend $30 for a code reader but you want to drop a few hundred on a spare trans just in case the one you have is bad?

Great idea

Yes but you want one either from a '93 & up truck or one that was rebuilt using the upgraded parts made available after that date.

Obviously it needs to be a 4x4 version.
