My ford truck has high RPM when I put the pedal down.?

Question

How do you know if its the torque converter or the transmission?What are the signs?What is the difference between the two?

Answer 1

I assume this is an automatic because you mention the torque converter...the torque converter is what shifts your transmission into the higher or lower range...tit is filled with transmission fluid and the centrifugal force of the converter spinning is what shifts the gears...if you are not going the speed you should be and your engine is racing the problem is most likely the transmission bans slipping.

Answer 2

An engine can over rev on initial acceleration (and some Ford's will do this) if the transmission oil filter becomes disconnected from the transmission. If this is the problem then you should also experience a strange jerking from the transmission when you brake for a stop.

If you have both symptoms than the filter may be the problem

Answer 3

If you discover that you need a major transmission "rebuild" on your truck, compare the 3 year warranty you get from installing a new remanufactured transmission from your car dealer or http://www.jasperengines.com
If you go to your local transmission repair shop, they will want to "rebuild" your transmission. The cost for a new remanufactured transmission may not be that much more and you know your getting a better warranty and new transmission quality.
