At this point I don't even wanna take it off the trailer, I need a couple trips where I bring home a running truck.

I haven't had a manual ranger in years, anyone running an upgraded shifter and clutch setup? Was really hoping to find by the Gucci FX4 level 2 shifter but that's next to impossible, all I see is a hurst shirt throw available ....and as far as clutches does anyone have input before I just buy...

Alright, got sick of this thing staring at me everytime I open the garage and after much overthinking daily I decided I just flat out don't ever wanna deal with the 5r55e ever again....sooooo I found the world's biggest pile of shit 2004 ranger 4wd manual 4.0 that fortunately has everything...

I live up in the hills between Sac and Reno and off two private roads that are worse than the rubicon, this truck sees 4wd daily when it's running and the overdrive is off 99% of the time around my area, I am also surrounded by off highway trails....if/when commuting down in the flats I just...

I'd give my left nut to have my bronco back, divorce sucked and that thing kept my head above water at the time....I still talk to the guy who bought it and it's still not completely done...he's planning on selling it in the 120k range once it's complete so that's a nice little jab in my side to...

Probably what I will have to end up doing, just sucks this will be number 3....I would buy a "built 4wd 5r55e" if that was even an option but since basically nobody supports them then I am stuck with a reman timebomb made of glass....this one was rebuilt using the original case so maybe that had...

Well I backed the bands off and it did no good to get the servos out so I went ahead and dropped Valve body and it's got spots on the gasket starting to seperate so that's hella cool....but I did get the servos out, they had to be physically pushed out with a good amount of pressure from the...

Freeze spray was a great idea and got it to move a tiny bit while tapping it then heat then PB then sit then freeze again and so forth....fuckers are stuck, guess I am going after loosening the bands but it started to rain and is supposed to snow.....so I went in the garage to chunk away at a...

Freeze spray is a great idea, I can definitely do that, I'll see about trying that tomorrow...I didn't try adjusting the bands yet but that could be something to give a shot.... unfortunately it's under the carport not in the garage so my tolerance for rainy/cold weather is growing low.

At this point I'll take it.

Ok tranny guru's or someone with more intelligence....I went to check both of the servos and I have removed them on these trannies in the past and they came right out....soooo I pushed the cap in, got the snap rings off, and now the servo caps/servos are both stuck in but I can rotate the...

Negative, probably would of been a good idea but I never had any issues or felt like it was dangerous......the only thing that ever gave me a butt pucker moment was having the 2 5/16" ball come loose and almost come out of the hitch after towing a 2 door JK up to Bowman with the camper/hitch...

This was the old setup back in the day, I think this was the dezertrangers trip to Pismo in like 2016.

The whole reason I got into cabovers was cause before I had a 24' Hallmark enclosed race-trailer and would put my other rangers in it with a 450 quad, I towed that with a MaxTow F150 and it did great, slow and right on the edge of capabilities, but great....we would run a Genny, throw down air...

This is the trip we are doing shortly...just the truck/camper
