What should I check next?
Thanks in advance.
My question is 1. Is this a transmission problem, transfer case problem, both or just a connecting line between them? 2. What is involved in fixing it? 3. Has anyone else had similar problems? 4 am I OK driving it this way for a while?
I would appreciate any info that any of you have on this. Thanks

It's amazing to me to read posts from even '03, '04, '05 Ford truck owners describing the same hard thud shifting - that I'm getting on my '94.!!
(I had a '97 f-150 that ran beautifully all the time)
If it comes back, I'm going to hang a video camera down under the truck to try to see what the f**k is punding so hard under there.
Thanks to some help from South Bay Ford in Gardena California I am on my way to getting the problem solved.

steering wheel does not shake and the truck goes straight.
You can backup and review messages #1270, 1273, 1276, 1280, 1286, 1292, and 1319. I wouldn't guarantee it but it might be worth a try.
with the moonroof completely open I get a severe vibration at about 25 mph which smooths out over 40 - it is the soft sliding cover vibrating against the roof - now even with the roof closed this same slider rattles every time i hit a bump - took it to the dealer and he said it happens with all of these and to crack a window - This I cant believe - when i test drove one didnt notice this if I had known this was going to be this kind of problem never would have bought this truck - kinda ruins the new truck experience
has anyone out there had the displeasure of there accelerater sticking upon passing. no matter what i did would not decellerate had to brake it and shut off. dealer of course can find nothing wrong. to date they have had to replace front ball joints 15000 3 friends also needed there done (ford has no grease fittings on theres ), rear rotors (vibrations in pedal) this is a pleasure vehicle not used as a work horse.
I am new @ this so help me out, please.
my problem started when i melted the wires from the solenoid. and yes as a desperate woman i replaced the solenoid and everything was fine. then my husband drove it to the store and the starter got stuck, and naturally it was my fault. so he replaced the starter, and that didn't fix it, then he replaced the switch under the steering column, that didn't work so while he was at work i replaced the solenoid again, only i didn't attach the starter wire (the big black one, not the red)
at that time i was getting power to the truck. then he came home, touched the black wire to the solenoid and now no power at all.
please help me.......before i do desperate things like blow this truck up. jus kidding!
ford has a recall as of july 12th I believe it will fix the problem
However, as the answer to a lot of those questions can't be known until after the fact, and assuming I wanted the transmission to have a reasonable life expectancy after the trip, the answer would be an unequivocal "yes"!
You're more foresighted than most in considering this question, and fitting the largest cooler possible will be a minimal expense compared to cost of a transmission replacement. While you're at it, consider fitting a transmission temperature gauge to the flow line coming from the transmission, to allow you to keep an eye on how it's behaving.
Any help would be appreciated.
