I want to change my ford f-150, 4 wheel drive truck from a manual to an automatic?

Sell it and buy one with an automatic. It will be a lot easier and cheaper than converting what you have.

I'd expect to pay at least 2-4K if you don't have a donor vehicle? That would include trans, torque converter, flexplate, crossmember, drive shaft, maybe an exhaust change, o2 (for clearance), etc., etc.

not to mention a possible computer swap (or chip), for driveability, and to pass your inspection.

  • Is my truck 4-Wheel Drive and if so how do I turn it on? This may sound like a dumb question but I just recently got a 1995 Ford F-150 xl and it never crossed my mind that it would be four wheel drive. Howver today when I was driving it i noticed that a little to the right of the spedometer there was a spot that said 4x4 but it wasn't glowing. I looked all over the place for a spot where the switch or lever might be but found nothing. Any help would be greattly appreciated. Specs: 1995 Ford F-150 xl 6 Cylinder
  • I have a 98 manual 4.2 v6 f150. The truck is in great condition and I don't want to sell it? The engine is on it's last legs and I was wondering if it would be worth swapping the engine with a new ecoboost v8 and switching to an automatic transmission. Any advice? Preferably from people who are familiar with Fords.
