Replying to: grrrman (Mar 24, 2007 1:26 am) UPDATE: My transmission shudder turned out to be a cracked spark plug and a bad plug wire. I had cleaned the injectors good, and added Lucas Transmission fix to the tranny, but neither helped. I finally took it to another trans. shop for a 2nd opinion and they were the ones who found the bad plug and wire. Good thing they were honest.. unlike the original shop. They told me the 2 plugs closest to the firewall were very hard to get to, and that the garage I took it to last time for a tuneup had probably changed all but those plugs since the six others were in much better condition. So if anyone else out there experiences what feels like your transmission slipping at high rpm's, change the plugs and wires first, then go from there. It will save you lots of money.

#19 of 75 My Truck will cycles in/out of Low 4wd by darrinb Oct 07, 2007 (7:33 am)
I have a 2000 F350 Diesel p/u, I am having issues with the transfer case cycling in and out of low 4wd when I am trying to engage it. I do know that the vacuum lines to the hubs are not working so I manually turn the hubs myself. When I turn the switch to 4wd it comes like its supposed to, but when I put the transmission into neutral and turn the switch to 4lo, it will cycle in and then out and do that back in forth until I either turn the switch back to 4hi or try to time putting transmission into to drive when the light is on for 4lo. l I have a 35 fifth wheel and sometimes I will use low range to maneuver the trailer around so I don't have to use some much throttle to get moving. I will also do this w/o turning hubs and just utilizing low range for its gearing. Anyone have comments on why it cycles in and out? Replies to this message: dbweaver (Dec 21, 2008 8:35 pm)

#21 of 75 Ford F- series 4x4 problems by mdaly Dec 08, 2007 (7:42 pm)
I have an '03 Ford F - 150, 5.4 L and I can't get the 4x4 to engage. I've replaced the center axle disconnect solenoids and there's power flow but it just won't engage. What else could be the problem? Replies to this message: wpalkowski (Dec 09, 2007 2:33 am) mdaly (Dec 09, 2007 3:18 am)

Replying to: mdaly (Dec 08, 2007 7:42 pm) Did you check to see if you've got a vaccuum leak? If you've got a leak, the hubs won't pull in. Replies to this message: mdaly (Dec 09, 2007 3:18 am)

Replying to: wpalkowski (Dec 09, 2007 2:33 am) Where would I check for a vaccuum leak? Do I check at the new solenoids or on the 4x4 case itself?
#24 of 75 Automatic shift on the fly by thunderman Dec 14, 2007 (2:02 pm)
I have recently puchased a used F350 Super Duty Power Stroke Turbo Diesel and I just love it. I recently tried to use the four wheel drive with the shift on the fly switch on the dash. The light comes on but nothing. The hubs are on auto and nothing happens. I have followed all the proceedures to the letter. If I get out and turn the the hubs to lock, the on the fly feature on the dash works fine on, and off, on command. I thought it might be the shift motor on the transfer case but it's not becasue it does shift on and off. The problem is with the hubs not locking in and out automatically. I heard some rumors from different sources that ford has had some problems with this year and model. I went to the dealer and asked them what they thought, and they acted like it wasn't common, and that they haven't heard about this. I have an appointment to take it in, but I am not confident they are being truthful, and just want to keep the mechanics working for that day.They claim they will have to take the hubs apart and investigate. Yikes! They say 4to 5 hundred bux. I would like to know if anyone knows anything about this, and can share their experiance with me. Thanks guys.

#25 of 75 1999 Ford Escort by thunderman Dec 14, 2007 (2:49 pm)
I also have a 1999 Ford Escort purchased for my sons in Vancouver. My oldest son has mentioned to me few times it would be nice to have a keyless entry to his car installed. I thought being close to xmas I should look into this and if it doesn't cost a arm and a leg, Santa could bring him one. Does anyone know if this is possible to install it or the approximate costs to do so? Thanks.
