Yeah, 95 F150, Reg cab short bed 2wd, 5.0, auto..optioned out. 258k miles...doesn't use a drop of oil but the trans is just gone..feels and sounds like converter failure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It probably hasnt been north of Montgomery Alabama since 1995. Besides the paint thinning and surface rust...its rust free, you could eat off the frame 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,456 #6 Posted February 1, 2023 I think I've had about a half a dozen of those 1980 to 1997 square body F series over the years. Being rust free up around these Northeast Parts would be kind of considered a unicorn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a 96 Ford long bed like that. At 150k the torq converter developed a vibration at 50mph when it was on flat road. It didn’t vibrate if you loaded or were accelerating. Ran it that way to about 250k. Edited February 1, 2023 by oliver2-44 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Around 220k it developed a lockup shudder...shifted fine, but on lockup it shuddered. Around 240k it started to slip...i dropped the pan and found an alarming amount of clutch and band material in the pan, filter was fully clogged. New filter, fluid...quart of lucas and a pouch of shudder fix, it did great until 256k miles, sometimes it won't shift, and the convertor has a pronounced vibration from 2500 on up...she's done. Dad bought a BMW with his fiancée so im kinda i guess back as keeper of this truck, cold air but the heat is lacking...i think the core is plugged. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only time we really use it is to defog the windshield, something with no ac though is considered undriveable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
