    Missing some ooomphhhh!

    Some of the eagerness of your newer truck to downshift when ascending a grade is due to the fact it is a 5 speed where your older Explorer had a 4 speed. The 5 speed is designed to drop out of OD with less load than the 4 speed. Scott T.

    2001 ford explorer sport 4.0 SOHC

    Current seats are hi-back non-powered grey cloth. Looking for any real nice set of grey leather seats. headrest design/type doesn't matter. Powered seat OK too if they allow enough forward travel for practical back-seat access in a 2 door. I can figure out how to get power to them...
