I have a 2003 f150 4.2 5-speed transmission and change the fluid at 60000 mi with 10 w-30 full synthetic motor oil and I have 140,000 miles on it now and getting ready to change it again, transmission shifting better with the synthetic oil than it did the factory oil

[@G34RH34D]

Nice truck. I got a 97 4.2L with 89k miles on it. had it for 19 years since I was 19 yo. Had it sit for a long time and cranked it. Very bad idea. I'm in the process of replacing the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel injectors and spark plugs. And I will also be doing a complete fluid change for the oil, transmission, power steering and brake.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Jst got rid of it. Check out my new dream truck

[@paulrodrigues9603]

Hi The courier co that I worked for had a bunch of E-150's with the 4.2 V6. Can't say anything bad about them. They lasted forever.

[@bentramell729]

Would have liked to see how and what you used to fill it up

[@pigeon8137]

Thanks for the vid! Shit was easy! Used a valvoline synchro mesh bottle, emptied the motorcraft trans fluid in there, and also the top with a radiator overfill tank hose 😎

[@LukeTehGamer1]

Nice, hopefully the critters stay away from that cozy bellhousing lol. I did a power steering line on one of these for a guy at my old work, pretty simple truck, 4.2 V6 manual also

I got a 2002 4.2l v6 with the 5 spd... I was wondering if adding the new fluid is the hardest part of this procedure????

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Hell no. What about the whole job is hard???

[@irvingrivera8346]

I love that truck

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Was a goodie, never let me down. Had it since 01 to 20

[@2010stoof]

My 98 f150 seems to be chunky when changing gears. I've heard using Valvoline synchromesh MTF works great. Looked in my manual, and it recommends the mercom ATF. Any thoughts?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Follow da manual....

[@2010stoof]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod manual says mercon. Not made anymore. But reading mercon V is what's used. But days not to use mercon V in transfer case. So lost on what to use in there.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Mer V replaced regular Merc. Neither of those go in the t case.......

How much do those transmissions hold?

[@isaacthorpe7729]

Can I put transmission fluid in through the drain plug? the fill plug wont come off my truck.

[@kimberlyjonathanjermyn4659]

How do you fill it? Can you just pour from the bottle like this? Thanks

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yea just with the bottle

[@hermanshelton3660]

Should always take the fill plug first in case you have trouble removing it. If you drain the fluid first and can't get the fill plug out you will have a problem

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Cool

[@fabiosci6981]

Hello. I'm in Belem Brazil. I have an F150 year 1998 with 4.2 V6 engine. What is the oil for the five-speed manual gearbox. I've been looking for this information for a few days. Thank you.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Omg i have the same truck i drive every day!!!!!! It takes regular Mercon!!!!!

[@adrianspeeder]

Love the M5OD-R2 for a daily driver. Sure not as tough as a ZF, but more useful for cruzing. I have a 92 302 Bronco and 97 4.6 F150 that my dad had both special ordered to get the the M5OD.

[@sportscarfan1989]

odd question do you have a rubber glove preference?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

+sportscarfan1989 YES, Supreno are awesome. They are purple in color. Last long can, touch fuels like no other but WILL snag easily on them damn zipties, however the white ones dont as much but cant touch any fluids. They just get eaten up. The kind of job i do will depend on what gloves ill put on.

PowerStroke Tech Talk w/ARod right on thanks!

[@drewbie-wankenoobi5155]

Where the heck was the fill? All you did was drain.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Pretty self explanatory. Its the plug right above the fill. Half way up about.....

[@filoIII]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod You should've removed the fill plug first.
