one other question, I've read all over the internet that the internals excluding the VB can be switched into the AOD from the AODE do you know how hard of a task that might be and what may be needed to complete such a job?  I drove the truck this morning and it shifted out fine until I had to come to a stop and start again which was 6 miles down the road.  Any suggestions there? This is why I was leaning towards the VB switch and possible shift kit... Art Car has the VB for $75...

Fluid is all new... The two 4.6L's I have are from I think 96' Cougar and the other is from T-Bird but not sure on its year.  Originally the TV cable was not properly connected but it is now.  The truck was never put on the road when it wasn't hooked up correctly. Not sure if that would have damaged anything or not.

New question....

Would the torque converter cause my shifting or should I say not shifting problem?? If yes, next question is will the converter from an AODE be the same as one from AOD.  Only reason I ask is that I got two 4.6L motors with AODE transmissions mounted to them in my garage. wouldn't cost to swap out.

Thanks Again for all of your help...

ok so I got the charging problem figured out and fixed with all the help thanks...

New Problem....

The AOD trans doesn't want to shift out through the gears, plenty of fluid and the TV cable is adjusted correctly. There is not a cooler on this setup at the moment, could that be the problem or just another thing that I do need to add, and not the actual problem.

Ok so I was directed to this site for answers to my problems.  1st let me give a little history on the vehicle:
This is an 87' Bronco II
All wiring inside is from a 91' Explorer as are the axles
The 5.0 HO w/ AOD is from a 91' TBird

The smog pump has been eliminated and the holes in the heads pluged. The battery will not charge but the alternator checks out ok at local parts store. The routing of the belt and weather or not I can get a shorter belt are also in question.  I routed the belt and it fits tight but I think it may be running the water pump backwards.
Any suggestions or solutions to my problems would be appreciated...
