The tx case internals are always turning, doesn't matter. The bigger issue any 4gen 4r faces in the rust belt is rust. Frame, tranny supports, and here's a serious one for the tranny- the tranny cooler lines. My brother in MD had one rust through and drain the tranny. He replaced the line and...

I believe 500 is less than the cost of the factory replacements. When I looked they were 350 or so each, plus installation. Ebay has endless options, just have to work through them. I'd be careful about color match if you don't go with the factory ones.

No, different model no., etc. I looked when my tx case lost a seal and needed to replace.

Well, only 344k on mine so far, might be too early to tell! lol They are bullet proof in my experience. We've towed a 21' camp trailer for a few years, other than that just dump runs, etc. for towing. Never had the temp light come on. I lost a seal in the tx case at 300k and had to replace...

I have the 03 that would help for most things. I know the later engines had some changes with vvt and ?, but I can send you a copy if you want.

Sorry to hear it. All sound like salt corrosion issues. My brother's 4gen SR5 4.7 has frame rust and other rust problems. If you still have yours you might check the transmission cooler lines too. One if his corroded to failure and ran the tranny dry. He repaired and refilled it and it still...

No, I'm trying to get the tailgate lock, window, and all lights in the rear of the rig working. All are dead after rebuilding my brake master cylinder. Making me crazy!! Thank you, I might have to resort to that.

popping the tailgate Hey, even better news. You don't have to remove the tailgate trim panel to pop the tailgate. Remove the small panel in the center near the bottom. That little white plastic cover immediately below the opening comes off and there are the levers, the small one is below...

I'm putting a master cylinder piston kit in my 03 4R. I've removed the snap ring that holds the brake booster plug and piston in, but I can't pull the brake booster plug out. It moves 1/8 or a bit more and stops. Might be an o-ring in the snap ring groove? idk, but thought I'd ask if...

I have an 03 Limited V8 that has 209K. I've done the timing belt, seals, etc., wheel bearings, brakes, tires and windshield in the last few weeks. All caught up on the list! The new idler and tensioner really quieted the little ticking noises on the front of the engine .

wheel brgs This is the best deal going on 4R wheel bearing/hub assemblies. Good guy to deal with too. Mine went on in about an hour with hand tools. I happened to have a 35 mm socket for the axle nut, possible hitch if you don't have one ahead of time. Marion Bumper2Bumper Automotive

Anyone gotten one recently? I ordered one about 3 weeks ago, not here yet and no response on email or phone over the last couple days. Anybody else heard from him?

Thanks guys.

Anybody know where to get a listing of factory part nos?

Thanks. I'm glad you like it, I'd still prefer the 2wd option.
