    Anyone have experience with installing a tranny rebuild kit?

    I have a master rebuild kit I purchased for my 5R55S and I just want to make sure I hit all the seals, gaskets, etc. If anyone has done this before I'd love to hear how your experience went and if you have any tips/suggestions.

    Low heat output

    Sorry if I can't give much detail here. '04 Explorer XLS... I've noticed that when I turn on the heat, it doesn't blow hot air like my other cars do. Luke to moderately warm at best. Anyone have any idea where I should start with troubleshooting? It's tolerable now but once winter kicks...

    Hello from Hudson Valley NY!

    Hi all! I just recently purchased a 2004 Explorer XLS and I joined this forum to get access to the wealth of information shared by its members. My first challenge is getting the A/C vents working in the center console. From reading some of these posts... I need to be focusing on the...
