The final item on my "should fix" was the "hard shifting" on the AOD transmission on my 90 F150. I got the truck 2 years ago, at 63K miles, put 7K miles on it so far. I replaced the transmission filters and fluids (Synthetic Type F, do not remember the brand.) Took the transmission to the...

for your monthly dose of controversy, http://systems-engineering-associates.com/avocation , click on "filter"

we appear to be a long ways from my question. All I am looking for is an oil/lube filter that will screw on and not leak under pressure. As for your suggestion that I risk adding a mismatched Donaldson to my collection of mismatched Baldwin and Wix, based on the same line of logic that got me...

The below excellent effort is unfortunately exactly why I came here. I did the same "reverse-reverse" traceback to get my filter, AND IT DID NOT WORK. I have 5 Baldwin and WIX filters to prove that this does not work. Sorry to be such a downer. Anyone have a DIRECT interchange?...please...

I have been told to ONLY use Type F, non-synthetic in my SN Paxton. 1. I cannot find "Type F". Where is it? 2. what is "type FA" and is it safe for my SN Paxton? 3. what is "universal" and is it safe for my SN Paxton? 4. Is there a "high mileage" or "max life" version for type F? thanks!

thanks to all for the clear answers and user experiences. And thanks especially for staying on topic! Merry Christmas!

Unfortunately, this turned out to be the best idea. I will DEFINITELY use the other advice on non-terminal tanks. What happened. I chickened out as my previous "clean" out was a bust, and took the tank to a "boilout" service. After their boil-out, they pressure tested and found new leaks...

I did a search, but could not find a clear answer. On the local Wally store, there appears to be different grades of Techron, (somewhat like the X number of Gumbout) Is this just packaging, or which grade is STRONGER?

I can easily Siphon at least 95% of the old gasoline for a tank that has been abused for over 10 years with 1/4 tank of gasoline left in it. (the fuel pump failed, and the previous owner was too cheap to fix). The question is: what treatment do I add to clean the gunk out of the gasoline tank...

Topic mostly covered, and I agree. A couple of items, to those who are using any mechanical means of tightening their filters ... STOP!... your hand is strong enough. I have had filters put on by (censored) oil change companies, whose monkeys apparently used a filter wrench. I colapsed the...
