Ok... and some days after... My transmission does not have a plug on torque converter housing. Finally, I drained fluid at pan only and replaced filter. Transmission failure (Did not change from 1st to 2nd at "Drive") was solved with fluid change. I noticed some debris al two soneloid and also...

Hi. Ok, In Venezuela, Explorers are (allmost) same than U.S. models: (Are assembled in Ford´s Plants at Venezuela with U.S. made parts). So, my 2004 Explorer has a 5R55S tranny. Let me see if my tranny has a plug at TC housing. I will check tomorrow and comment later. Thanks a lot.

I forgot to mention, I replaced 6 quarters from pan with fresh fluid and new filter, of course. I tried to disconect cooling lines how I said before, but both lines have output flow when i made a 5 seconds cold start test. How i can take out rest of old fluid?. I dont want to start engine again...

Yes, You are right. I tried to flush tranny from cooler lines today (at cold start) and BOTH lines have output flow from those lines. At this moment, only 6 quaters were push out of tranny, using pan and filter replacement method. How i can take out rest of fluid (6 or more quaters)?. Thanks

Hi guy. I drove me crazy myself yesterday making tests with your pics. I think they has a mistake. UPPER connector in PCM under hood (In my XLT 4.0 2004 explorer) is C175t (connector from PCM to transmision) and is NOT meddium connector. Medium connector is C175b (body) an lower connector is...

Solved, a good quality hi-temp bulk "o ring" (less than 0.5 us$) made job. Leaks stopped. BTW, thermostat housing (upper and lower) are Goofy design, C´mon Ford´s guys... Mattel designs for Barbie´s Corvette works better.

. I have same problem, O ring is deformed and has a "flat" shape. So, which is replacement part number for Temperature Sensor O ring?. Thanks in advance.

I changed Diff oil one week ago. My X´s is a 4x2, It took near of 1.8 qts. for rear Diff. Truck MUST BE leveled. I could not find 75w140 oil here (Venezuela), so I used 85w140.... BTW, Rear humming did not disappeared :(

Depend, If she took a complete flush to her X´s tranny so it was a normal-high price at States. If she took only drain and refill pan to her X´s tranny so it was a robbery.

Hey guys.... take it easy..... BE HAPPY... PEACE Its only a debate.... You can keep your point of view without unrespect other...

Well, its true, Caracas is at 1000 meters (3280 feet). We have strongs climbs too. High temperature. High traffic jams (I think like Mexico City, but i dont known if Mexico city have high climbs). Normaly, motors and trannys suffers too and these have low life expectative.. Last year, i went to...

Well. I changed oil yesterday. Motorcraft 5w30. I read a stick under hood. Ford Motors Venezuela recomends 5w30 or 10w30 for that truck. Temperature, Oils Pressure, Motor Sounds are idem when i had 15w40. Oil Seller tell me about probability of Timing Chain or Valve Train problems in the future...

The oil type have some many myths and urband legends. Definitely the correct type is manufacturer recommended type. I hear some mechanics about "Goods" of old oil monograde. Or about you must to change oil type depending of mileage of your vehicle (higher viscosity for high mileage car). Or...

I remember a old post with pics of a inside view of connector. try to find it, i was not able... Good Luck.

Ok, at same time (some days after) same dealer use Syncpower 10w40 for a EB 2007 for a friend of mine. Well, i dont want wear for motor componentes. Iwill change to 5w30, try and verify level some days after. It is safe to engine to change suddenly from 10w40 mineral oil (actual oil only...

I think rings are in good shape. No Oil lowering level after 2 months. RPMs at cruiser speed of 2000, no towing, no high torque requirements, no sport driving like a F1 pilot (almost in my X). Whats about high temperatures and heavy traffic (2 hours of traffic jam in some cases) at Caracas...

Hi guys, i have an Explorere, 4.0 Litres, 2004 with only 27.000 miles. I live at Caracas, Venezuela. All services at Ford Dealer. I known recomended oil by Ford for that truck is 5w30 (Is writed on oil cap under hood too). Well, I revised that truck´s service log, and Ford dealers in...

The Only Keys are: USE ONLY THE CORRECT TOOL RELEASE PREASURE BEFORE YOU START (Remove relay 48 with engine running and wait..) DONT USE FORCE (You are not Superman, its not necessary). period Time to release fuel filter of hoses for a newbie (like me): Using Correct Tool = 15 seconds. Using...

Damage is bigger than i thought some days ago. Upper control arm is totally broke, disc wheel is blend, rim is crap, half axle is good, camber control arm is blend, bearing is broke....2 doors are damage, frame is blend, right post is blend too, rear bumper is lightly blend. Damn. Extimated...

Yes, i´m thinking to buy it in Miami if its necesary ( First, tomorrow, a mechanic workshop will disamble all suspension and check all parts and yes i think axle or bearing could be damaged). By the way, prices are extremly high (each original new door with all accesories (motor for power...

Last week another SUV, an EB 2007 :(, hit my fair XLT 2004. My 2 right doors (passenger side) are crap. EB also hit my passenger rear wheel (very hard). Results: 1.- doors can be replace (very expensive... but..... i will). 2.- Chassis is fine (thanks Ford, for Chassis construction...

Thanks guys!!!. I will check it and comment later.
