I just got a 1997 F250 crew cab short bed automatic. It's got a few issues. None too bad, I think, except maybe the transmission. When I met the guy, he told me that when the indicator was in between D and 2, it was actually in drive and it had been like that since he had it. I haven't driven an auto in a while, so wasn't real sure what I was listening/feeling for. But, after I got it home and started tinkering with some stuff, I aligned the indicator and counted the clicks from park, and D isn't there! It goes from N to N (D) and the first gear to make the truck move is 2. But, I took it down the road and it shifts from 1st to 4th and then overdrive. I'm taking it to my transmission man after work today and let him drive it and see what he thinks, just thought somebody on here would know. Also, it has a 6.0 liter torque converter, and my transmission man said you weren't supposed to do that. Said that's one of the first things in the manual for the transmission, not to use that torque converter. The guy that I got it from lived close to Brians truck shop and he's the one that put the torque converter in it. Any help? Thanks
