I had another transmission fall into my lap the other day. After swapping it into the 92 I am now able to move the truck under it's own power. I believe it only has first and reverse for now. But I know I can re-read some of the posts here and and find the other gears. Anyway, Hare's a pic...

Harleton Texas. About 2.5 hrs east of Dallas.

I'll have to wait for the snow to melt or at least get the temp out of the 20s before I can look at it. Thanks:cheers2:

Thanks for the welcome:hello: I was pretty intimidated before finding this place. I now feel more confident under the hood. Now that I have a running truck and I'm looking through some of the other areas along with getting some useful ideas to help with the transmission troubles the 92 has...

Thanks! This gives me a place to start checking. I've heard these are tough transmissions and can't see it being a big problem with what the PO told me happened to it.

I'll have to get a picture of it. I thought I had some. But the only picture I have is the two trucks parked next to each other covered in snow.

I would like to say I made sure to only have the new seal when I changed the filter. But I have slept and worked on several other projects since starting this one. lol Where can I find a tech 1? Is there a port I can check the pressure? What problems did the connector have? Sorry for all...

The stick says to check it running and in park. I thought it was to be in neutral too. One of the mechanics at work told me to check the torque converter. Checking this by running my fingers in and trying to spin the turbine, I got it to spin one direction freely but it wouldn't budge the...

The dipstick tube is broke at the tab that bolts it to the back of the engine. In holding the rest of the tube to that spot, the stick reads full. When it went into reverse for that moment, it felt solid but came right back out. I just went out and check the registration sticker and it looks...

I bought a 92 3500 single wheel truck a couple months ago that the P.O. had parked 2 years ago because he began having transmission problems with. He told me he used the truck to haul cattle at one job. A new job brought another truck in his drive, semi-retiring this one. He used it to go to...

Thanks! I will be restoring the F-12 soon. I'm wanting to restore my 2n but I may just get it as close as I can and be running. I plan on it helping the C out with tasks around my place.

Not anything near the tractors already shown. But here are mine: My 1933 Farmall F-12: My 1943 Ford 2n as it sits now: My 1947 Farmall C ready for one of it's jobs around here:

Thanks! I have already learned more than I knew I needed to know about the 6.5. And I haven't scratched the surface on the knowledge found here. I looked around at some of the posts before registering and noticed how friendly everyone is. As you know, some forums can be pretty dry, or flame...

Thanks! I'll surely post up when I start the restoration on the F-12. Here's a shot of my 95: 151000 miles on it. The paint is in the shape of a lot of trucks from that vintage. I haven't checked the A/C out yet, but everything else seems to be working on it so far. I plan on getting...

I recently joined the ranks of diesel ownership when I bought a 92 Chevy 3500 single wheel with a 6.5 turbo that has transmission problems. After getting this truck, a buddy told me about a 95 2500 that I could buy for parts. It was parked a couple years ago because the engine would die at...
