Torque converter for ford f-150

You need to remove the transmission to do this. Remove the inspection cover at the junction of the engine and transmission to get to the bolts to disconnect the torque converter from the drive plate (the part with teeth that the starter engages). Remove the driveshaft, then the transmission. The torque converter will come out with the transmission. Pull the old torque converter from the transmission, and install the new one. Ensure the torque converter goes all the way into the transmission/hydraulic pump. Reinstall the transmission, ensuring that the torque converter is still free to turn during the entire installation process, especially while drawing up the transmission to the engine. Once the transmission is bolted up, reinstall the bolts holding the torque converter to the drive plate. Reinstall the drive shaft and the inspection cover.

If you haven't done any major mechanical work on a car before, seek the help of someone who has. You will need a hoist or a jack and jack stands, and a good set of tools.

check the fuel pressure if it is in range..

The foot pound torque is 100 foot punds for the lug nuts.

could be a cracked flexplate (flywheel)

The torque converter to flex plate torque spec's are as
follow's.(listed by transmission)
A4LD
20-34 ft lbs (27-46 N.m)
AOD/C-6/E40D
20-30 ft lbs (27-41 N.m)

The torque converter bolts to the flex plate at the rear of the engine. It supplies the link between the engine to the transmission.

It's known as a "Flex Plate" and not a "Fly Wheel". The flywheel is use on a standard transmission.

When the torque converter was put back in the transmission ,and the bell housing was tightened up,it broke the front pump in the transmission,because the torque converter was not set all the way back in the transmission.

torque specs dont really work with wheel bearings,its better to do it by feel,front wheel bearings with ratchet nuts,----usually tighten good and snug by hand and tap on the rotor a few times to seat the bearings,then good and snug again,not really hard,and back off 1/8 to a 1/16th of a turn,then tighten with your hand until it stops freely..you just dont want them too tight to wear out the new bearings

sounds like a wheel bearing they start to scrape and bind making loud noise while driving only. no noise while in park

The malfunctioning part in my case is what ford calls the "integrated wheel end" which locs the weel hub on the four wheel drive in or out as need. Part is available from Ford and cost about $110.00. I will do this repair myself.
