How Are TSBs Handled?
As a new user, I'm impressed with all the info. on this site!
The Technical Service Bulletins site lists at least four TSBs that describe exactly, problems in the auto-trans. of my '94 F-150 .
These are the bulletin nos.: 9996, 98167, BC4321950705, 95515
The service rep. at our local Ford dealer has no idea (or doesn't admit to knowing) what these bulletens mean.
How can I find out if these TSBs resulted in fixing a problem?
Thanks,
Tom

Once a truck is out of warranty, and a '94 certainly is out of warranty, all TSBs are is instructions on how to fix something. If you want to pay to have the work done I'm sure you can find someone to do it.
I don't recognize the format of those TSBs. Those numbers don't look like TSB numbers to me.

Where are you looking for TSB numbers? If you visit:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/tsb/tsb....y-1994/t-95515
TSB data for: 1994 FORD F150
Bulletin Number: 95515
Sequence Number: 39887
Date: 19950301
Component Name: 103000 POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Make: FORD
Model: F150
Year: 1994
Summary:
THERE MAY BE AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF TORQUE DURING OR JUST AFTER THE 3-4 UPSHIFT OR IN 4TH GEAR ON SOME VEHICLES. *TW
That bulletin (and several others) describe my problems EXACTLY.
Why is it so hard to find out if TSBs result if fixing problems? I WILL PAY to have the work done but my shop (independent) can't fix it and the Ford service dept. seems pretty clueless about TSBs.

I think you might be a good candidate for the "short term" TSB subscription that Motorcraft offers on their website. For $10 you can search, access and download as many Ford TSBs as your heart desires over the course of 3 days and nights.

Tom (don't mind paying for service--if they fix it!)
