So i went to harrys you pull it in hazelton, pa yesterday to pull a m5od r2 for my auto/manual swap, we walked the whole yard on only found 4 manual fseries pick up from 87-96 3 of them were m5od-r2s and one was a zf tranny,
it took my dad and i 4 hours to pull it out with just hand tools, no jack, no torches or anything, i dont think thats too bad of time to pull a tranny especially since it was our first time.

we pulled one from a 93 extended cab short bed, and im wondering what year did ford start putting the electrical speedos in the trucks

Tht one should be electric. Mine is a 92 and its electric

P.s- wht part of pa you from? I also frequent harrys myself

Why didn't you pull the ZF instead? It's a stronger tranny.

im actually from carlisle, pa but currently im at college in williamsport for automotive

and i pulled the m5od cause im making a street truck, that will probably not see any heavy pulling and im pretty sure it was the wide ratio zf which is the one with a granny first, not my style. And ive also read that some people beat the living crap out of the m5od and it they cant get it to break so i have faith in it

Thts crazy man. I'm right down the rd from wilpo in lock haven haha. But the r2 is a good tranny. I've had a few of thm and always held up real nice

Harrys you pull it is a cool place. A junk yard with a food stand. They have guys running around with torches if you need something cut.
