Like I said below.
Watch Love The Beast.
It'll help your pain.
A lot.
It's the Notebook for us car folks.

ive seen it

I cried like a little bitch.
I've dropped a car on my foot from a failed jack
and didn't cry LOL

And cried over that movie.
-silentsob-

ive gotten worse, but mines a bit more graphic

Shiiittttt
Don't wanna know tonight
-eating-

ya

to my knowledge it was just the tranny cause the motor still ran when i towed it for him

It blew when i went to go get it

oh damn

yeah, blew head gasket

I just lost my Ford Conversion van 2 days ago. It was my first vehicle, I put in 4 transmissions, a new motor and countless parts. That beast was my legacy and it was so sad to finally see it go

:C
It's always hard.
If you feel something
it's like losing a loved one
Cause you spend the most time with your car..
(or I do/did)
So it's almost like losing a piece of yourself.

So.
I advise watching Love The Beast.
It's a movie all about loss of a car
and the philosophy behind love for a car.

lol "Love the beast" Thats such a perfect title. Thats what everyone called my van XD

How many miles did you put on that van to need that many transmissions O.o?

The engine went about 3 months after I bought it, So i bought a brand new 5.0 and did some tweaks for HP gain. So... lol it chewed up my tranny. So i dug out 2 grand and had one made, that worked great until my U-joint went and snapped my drive shaft denting my new gas tank and taking half my transmission with it all over the highway. So I figured I'd just get a used tranny. But the engine chewed that one up too. So I spent another 2500 on a custom built High performance transmission. And then my crank shaft broke. needless to say, 1 engine is enough and I put in over 11,000$ into it over the years. But I did get to make a few road trips with it, TONS of adventures, and a con. The van could smoke its tires anytime I wanted and once during one of those mis-adventures, I got the whole van air-bourne XD

Devotion, man.
Got pictures of this beast?

I've got a funny doodle of it here But no real pictures up yet. I have a few, I really should get them up

What was the stock engine for that van? I thought people usually check how much torque a transmission and drivetrain could handle when doing power upgrades.

Doing a bit of research, I think the 4R75E transmission in my 2006 Ford F-150 XLT Extended Cab w/the 5.4L V8 3V has a torque rating of 750ftlbs (basically a multiplication of 2:1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_AOD_transmission

The stock was a 5.0 but the new block had a cam upgrade and silly me, I just threw it in haha

Well, at least you had fun in between the times you needed a new transmission or driveshaft.

Suu much fun, When I told everyone it was gone, no one believed me haha they all knew how much I loved it

My condolences I'm in the possion of hanging up the keys for the last time to my 92 Town Car my self. HUGS

Awww, hugs

I needed that hug ^..^ HUGS back

welcome bro

man, that is at least a quick and almost painless way to go, just take solice in knowing shae has no mre worries of being trashed by some stupid kid texting while driving daddy's Toyota to his hot date with the cheerleader who's gonna dump em. I know your pain in losing a cherished member of my life, Chrystine, she was a silver 1996 Mercury Cougar Elite, and she acted a ton like the name said, she had a tendancy to repair herself, and was all too loyal to me, wouldn't run for nobody but me, lost her while driving truck over the road, and I will be damned if it happens to my Beast, I'll kill for her.

You have my condolences although they are late. On my page is my late 2000 Sable in French Blue. It's transmission was going too but luckily I was prepared to get a new car and got the 2010 Fusion Hybrid (28-40mpg with two records of 98.7: 1.5 miles on battery alone on a near flat road and one all down hill onto a flat road). I have a picture of her there too but I never put up the side by side I have. Thanks for faving the 2013 Fusion pic. No plans to get one but a local dealership wants to buy my 2010 bad so one never knows (either the hybrid (47/45 city/hwy) or the plugin (estimated better than the Volt) if I can wait until next spring).
