hi my name is raymond. i have a 93 ford aerostar and i believe that you have a 3.0L engine. if you look on the air cleaner housing it should tell you. if not there is a dealer tag somewhere on the engine compartment that will tell you what kind of engine you have.

You seem to be very knowledgable about Aerostars. I have rebuilt my 3.0 lt engine and have a question for you. The 1988 Aerostar I have is looking at it's 3rd transmission. It is the A4LD type. It is junk. My question is is there another Ford tranny that will fit my 3 lt engine. I know the Ranger has 3.0 lt engines and are rear wheel drive. Is there an other tranny that will fit the 3.0 lt block and go into my Aerostar witihout too much modifacation. I don't mind minor stuff like shorting the drive line and such. Can you be of any help or forward me to someone that can be of help.
Thanks

The vacuum line are need to make the transmission shift correctly. When you step on the peddle, you are increasing the vacuum until thereis anough to work. Check your Vacum Lines.

The '97 AWD/4WD Aerostar has a 5 speed automatic transmission, but you'll probably need the engine/transmission ECU if you swap up to that.

Thinking seriously about putting together a short body AWD with the 3L but the '97 5 speed automatic to tow a TT. In the process of selling our 27' Four Winds MH, Ford E350 Super-Duty chasis and moving "down" to a lightweight. 16-18' Travel trailer.
 
I was sort of considering a manual transmission since some of the early Aerostars came that way. Was there ever an Aerostar AWD with the manual tranny?

I have a 93 ford aerostar electronic all-wheel drive 4.0L One of the fuel lines popped of the engine and I am not sure where it goes. the line comes down in the back of the motor and connects to a rubber elbow and hose the hose popped of and I can not find where it connects for the life of me. Please if anyone knows what I am talking about get back to me I'm kinda in a hurry. I have to take children home on saturday, so it is very important to fix my van.

Did we get a Made in Japan Ford Aerostar? by waltchan

We have an excellent experience with our 1996 Ford Aerostar XLT 2WD with the 4.0L engine. Reliability is incredible (now 140,000), and it hasn't been into the repair shop for any engine work since 1999. It's still on the original engine and transmission. It's even more reliable than our 1995 Honda Accord LX (not a joke) that we already sold last month. Anybody has this same experience we are having? A trouble-free Aerostar for 8 years (excluding oil changes and tires).

I have a 96 aerostar that won't start. Do you have the owner's guide? It says under the hood that it could be a reset button for the fuel pump, and the info for it is in the owner's guide. If you could look for it that would be great. thanks. Jon Zee.

The transmission fluid is added thru the tube where the trans dipstick is.

1989 Eddie Bauer Aerostar 3.0L by bladekun

Hello. I have a 1989 Aerostar Eddie Bauer with about 135K on it. The original engine and transmission are still working great. This van actually runs a lot better then my other 1990 Toyota corolla DX wagon! However, I was wondering. One day while driving it, the transmission started to slip from a stop. The engine would race for a second, but then there was this sudden jerk. It was like if someone had kicked it forward. It had also slipped from 2nd to 3ed gear for a while. But now, it semens to run normal now. I checked the AT fluid, and it was full.
 
My basic point here is, since this van has passed 120K miles, should I be worried about the transmission? How would I know when it would be signs for a overhaul? Can it fail at any time?
 
Thanks!
