Tips

I have a 95 f150 2wd 5.0 xl and I just swapped the rear end yesterday. I went from a 3:08 gear ratio to a 3:23 gear ratio. Now it seems to be messing with the transmission, and the trans never had issues before. Also the check engine light turns on when accelerating and turns off when I reach my desired speed. I've never had this issue before, even when I regeared my bronco to 4.11 gears it never messed with the trans. Any advice is appreciated.
thanks,
Ilija

Here is a tip: "use a descriptive subject line in your post, rather than ""TIPS"".
I actually read "****", as I don't have glasses, and you want to talk rear ends.

Ok, what transmission?
Pull codes off computer.
Did your rear end have the Vehicle Speed Sensor(VSS) in it?
Did you swap them?
