    '99 4wd SOHC w/5R55E. The old tranny blew on me last weekend. When it let go, the engine went up to 5,500 rpm or so for a few seconds before I figured out that I was essentially in neutral. I put the tranny in neutral and coasted to a stop. At that time I tried to shift into different gears...

    '99 Right Trailer brake/signal light problem

    I am fairly certain that this has been addressed here before but a search brought up so many links that I can't find the answer within the mountain of information on this forum.... so here goes with a new thread. My trailer lights use the same bulb for brake and turn signals, while my...

    HEAVY load towing experiences?

    First off, I know the safety police will arrest me, but I'm still considering hauling a very big boat with my Explorer. Maybe. I've already logged a lot of experience hauling this for several summers a few years ago: That boat weighed 4,300lbs dry. I estimate that loaded with...

    Looking for Moab 2000 Photo
