Can someone verify these are the correct o-rings I found here? Do I need one of these...

OK Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like I may have to drill mine out.

OK so I am trying to remove my 4R55E transmission from my Ranger. I tried to get it out without taking the Y pipe out but finally gave up. I broke / loosened the bolts on the collars at the exhaust manifold end but am having problems with the studs that go to the catalytic converter (see...

OK THANKS VERY MUCH guys. I got the driveshaft removed and all of the electrical connections / shifter linkage. I am having a problem with the #$@ exhaust manifold bolts. They just don't wont to loosen. I tried heating them and also using P Blaster on them. The studs at the catalytic...

I searched the forum and it appears that the easiest way to do this is to disconnect the "Y" pipes from the exhaust manifold to the cat. I have a few questions about this. 1. Do you just leave the pipes hanging or can you remove them for easier trans removal? 2. Will the transmission slip...

Are you getting my messages? I sent you a PM about this a while back but did not hear anything. Are you getting my messages?

I'm interested sent you a PM

Thanks guys. I did not realize the extra gear was in the low range. I see what Orca means now, not really worth the bother, some marketing for the salespeople to use to sell more Rangers with back in the day.

I have a 96 Ranger with the 4.0 V6 and 245k miles on it. I believe it has a 4R55E in it but from what I understand it can be "converted" to a 5R55E by software. Has anyone ever done this before? What module needs the software "upgrade"? The ECM or another module? Do I need to replace any...

Thanks for posting this! Some very good info there.

OK Thanks guys. Sounds like I need to remove some fluid. I am going to pick this up at Harbor Freight today and see if it works taking off the adapter and sticking the tube down the fill when it is cold. https://www.harborfreight.com/brake-fluid-bleeder-92924.html

I have a 96 4.0 Ranger with the 4R44E transmission. I noticed when the trans was cold and engine running it showed low fluid (below the bottom hole). I added about 1/2 of a quart of Mercon V and noticed the transmission shifting odd. I then checked after driving about 30 miles and noticed it...

I have one remote for my 96 Ranger that is all beat up and the buttons don't always work. I bought 4 used replacements on Ebay. For some weird reason, if I add a "new" remote (using this procedure on youtube ). After the doors unlock and lock I can add a new remote. However, my original...

I am replacing the accumulator on my 96 Ranger. I obtained some Motorcraft YN-12-D PAG Oil for it which is supposed to be the correct oil for my AC system. Does anyone know if this is single or double end capped? I tried to contact Ford and they had no idea. I guess if the system was...

Can someone tell me what the correct torque is for the rocker arm shaft pedestals? There are three of them on my OHV 4.0 engine and the service manual says to torque to 24 ft pounds and then turn 90 degrees. This sounds like a torque to yield bolt. Can these bolts be reused? Also, if you...
