I remove the front passenger tire and reach in w a 27mm wrench removing the egr tube at the exhaust manifold. You can lift off the intake manifold w the throttle body remaining attached to the intake manifold. The two heater hoses behind the valve cover can be disconnected and moved to the...

My MAF cause a ton of drivability issues. Once I replaced it all seemed back to normal. Edit: what’s going on with those green wires near the MAF?? Lol… (Go Rams!)

Dealer should not charge too much to get this done right the first time with success vs buying and trying to utilize aftermarket scanners that really do not have the capabilities of what the dealer techs have access and training with to solve your problem. The PATS does a good job of making sure...

In my experience my issue or main focus of the rebuild was the quality of the machine work on the case addressing the servo bores. The parts used to create the “new” bore sleeve may also have some impact. For me the issue has been shifting into Reverse. I also paid for a new/rebuilt TCU along...

The connector used on my four blade sensor attached to my throttle body was WPT1293. Under an 08 Ford Explorer on Rockauto you can see the connector and also see the throttle body pictured under Throttle Body tab.

For the work and time involved adding my vote for buying and pressing in better bearings. I bought them cheap and the pair lasted 12 months. Too much work to not buy better bearings.

I did. It was easy. My trans was out on the bench. There's a heat shield that will give you trouble. Mine works great. I have GlowShift guage. I installed it simply to know what the actual temp of the trans fluid is at any give moment. I had to add an extender to give me more room.

Pulled the bottom end apart. This is what most bearings look like.

Safer at Home in Los Angeles is not the best of times. I had time to remove the trans on my 2003 RWD base XLS for a front pump rebuild. It wasn't too difficult to remove and reinstall. What's with the run on Toilet Paper? I just don't understand. Liquor sales are up 55% for the month...

Thank you!!! Best news of the day for me. Cheers.

I looked and I cannot find a straight answer. I have a 2003 2wd v6 explorer that I just had freshened up due to a nagging external head gasket leak. The 2003 Torque Converter is failing. It sounds like a rattling can. Will my torque converter from my old 2008 Automatic Trans v6 explorer...
