1997 F150 transmission issue

   / 1997 F150 transmission issue #31  
Fixing the F-150's trans is going to be around $3,000. If you would fix it I recommend you only get a trans from the dealer because they will back up their trans. If you have any problems with it you take it in and they will fix it. If you take the $3k the trans will cost plus what you can get for the F-150 as it sits you will be hallways or more there on the price of the Chevy.

I am not a big Chevy fan but I think I would go with the Chevy. The price sounds pretty good to me. If it has been well maintained it should run along time. I would do a transfer case pump upgrade to it. These trucks have a anti rattle clip that breaks and put a hole in the transfer case and the fluid leaks out. Most of the time you don't know it til it's to late. GasTruck

A Jasper or quality trans will also carry a warranty.

You know what you have now. Do you really want to start over with another used truck?

Fix what you have.

I finally got some codes. P0122 low tps circuit input and P0401 egr insufficient flow. Would the tps cause these issues? I replaced it in 2009, truck would not downshift.

Exactly what I decided to do.

Based on the tps's purpose, I would think it certainly could..Not an expert on the subject, but false messages are being sent and that can cause all kinds of odd behaviors...How much does one cost for your truck?..If not brutal, I'd just try it.

These are 2 seperate issues.

Do you have a code reader or a scan tool?

The 401 is almost certainly a PFE sensor.

The 122 will need to be checked.
