My procrastination has got me. Dropped the transmission off at the community college. It will be rebuilt in October when they get to that part of the program.

Looks like a XLT explorer package to me. Nice find!

You must have recently learned that skill. You don't come by procrastination naturally.

I pulled it out in May. Had big plans to rebuild it myself. Realized that school was starting again and I had a contact at the community college that needed a project.

That's a good solution, although not likely a quick one. I presume that you have the time to wait.

katoranger · 09-02-2016, 01:58 PM

It has been waiting 6 months already. A couple more won't hurt.

Update. Transmission is about a week from completion. They want the truck end of this week or first of next for installation. That means I need to get it tagged and insured. This truck qualifies as an antique in Kansas so I get a cheap tag and hopefully low cost insurance due to occasional use.

Nice project. As for the AOD transmissions....lets just say stay firmly away from them if you want a reliable transmission. Almost every time i see AOD and Ford in the same breath..it is usually in the form of "Goddamn AOD F***ing died again!" More often then not those who had the AODs in the fords that could usually swapped to a C4 or C6 soon after it gave up the ghost. I made it a point to firmly avoid automatics when i was looking for a Ranger. Ended up with one with the Mazda 5 speed..though i have since gotten rid of that truck too..back to full on GM in the truck side of things lol

I am having the rebuild the stock C4 transmission for the truck. I have $150 invested in the transmission now.

Thinking it will take a couple hundred more to get the truck on the road. Carb kit, new plugs and wires, check the brakes.

I have already replaced the tires.

F150 loaded on the trailer and ready to dropped off for its new transmission. Wished I had a bigger trailer now.

Dropped off. Hopefully they will have it done before school is out.
