What's up yall? I'm Alven. So I'm experienced in light and heavy vehicle repair, my friend is experienced in light vehicle repair specialized on ford's especially diesel. I've been working on a customer's vehicle for a couple weeks, he's an older fella lives on a small income, if that tells ya anything, anyway has a 2005 f150 4.2l his transmission was smoked but was driving it, it had 1st then manual 2 no upper gears no reverse. Found another 4r70w from a friend cause I knew he only had a few miles on his freshly rebuilt transmission before his motor blew, we got that transmission from him kinda questioning if it would work because it was from a 2000 and customers is 2005, knowing some changes happened in like 2003, anyway found those changes pretty quick decided we needed the 05 housing and swapped all internals from 00 to the 05, replacing the turbine speed sensor. Well everything checks out except it won't cone out if first gear, manual 2nd yes, reverse yes. Has code for rear wheel speed sensor, swapped 2 known good ones still sets code, checked wiring it's all good, even Has a good signal from sensor at the abs module using oscilloscope when disconnecting the harness connect at module plug it back in the module kills the signal. And same situation with the turbine speed sensor except that goes to the pcm. Oh and of course no speedometer. I'm in process to flip the wires from one of the front wheel speed sensors to just make sure its absolutely the abs module. But the turbine speed sensor is new and wiring through gear select sensor to pcm is good, seems like same as abs both modules could be bad, idk I hate throwing parts especially modules at vehicles, I'd welcome and appreciate and thoughts, ideas or answers for this challenge. Thanks and I'm glad to be here.

Start your own thread when you have time. All sorts of thoughts due to the year of the truck.
Most likely My next 4x4 will be manual shift. I like the feel and a clutch. I grew up with them puppies.
