    4R55E is dying...

    Ok, so my tranny has been wearing out for a while. Its got 225,967 miles on it in my 95 xlt 4x2. It is now constantly overheating and slipping a lot. I intended to either replace or rebuild it but I'm curious of my best options. I'm about to sit the truck on 35s and won't that strain it a lot...

    I need some 95 XLT Lift Options

    I don't know a whole lot for 4WD lifts, ironically, but it's because I drive a 2WD. I'm sure there are kits and ways to lift the front, but the rear you can always do add-a-leafs, shackles or spring over axle. There is also the option of a body lift either way, for 2-3".

    Are you 4WD or 2WD to start with?

    body lift problem...

    This has been the biggest hassle of my life. Not one thing about it has been easy. At this point, the car is finally sitting on the blocks, and everything is good to go except the damn steering extension doesn't fit. The notch in the extension isnt long enough to accomodate the tab on the upper...

    body lift problem...

    Body lift install on 95 2wd Ok. 1995 explorer xlt. Everything was going great until I couldn't get the bolt removed from the core bushing. It is so tight in the bushing that even with the body sitting on it the bushing spins with it. I need suggestions on removing it or if I should cut it and...

    Trustworthy?

    Curious if I should even consider trusting this or if it is worth the extra grand to get my own tranny rebuilt... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-97-4R55E-Ford-Ranger-Explorer-Automatic-Transmission_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33727QQihZ006QQitemZ160106382962QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

    Transmission Issues?

    1) I'll try to get that done tomorrow 2) I had the trans fluid and coolant changed about a month ago. 3) No idea 4) I think it's a 4R55E in a 1995 4.0L V6

    Revving oddly.

    When my Ex is in park, the engine revs a steady on off between more and less. I'm having a hard time describing it other than that. It's a steady pace of about two seconds more rev then two seconds less rev. Anyone know what is causing this?

    Transmission Issues?

    1995 Explorer XLT / 2WD / 4DR / 222k miles Ok, I have no transmission work experience so I'm not sure where to find the problem here. My O/D Off Light is blinking. I've read all over these forums about the O/D Light flashing and replacing solenoids. Basically, I'm just stuck because I've...

    Lifting a '95. Mass confusion

    Ok, I can manage all of that. And, I'm aware that it's a Ranger body kit. Thanks for the help.

    Lifting a '95. Mass confusion

    Ok, well I'm willing to manage all this work myself, but this is also my daily driver and being off at college right now I'm short on tools. I can put it out of commision for the time it takes to do the work though. Is it difficult at all to change the brake lines? And I thought I read about...

    Lifting a '95. Mass confusion

    Ok, so for the past two days I've been back on here reading up again. Now, I can't afford to do all this yet, but I'm trying to learn as much about it all and where the best deals are and so on. I guess I'm looking for a total cost basically, so I know how long before I can get this all going...

    How to lift

    LoL...I've been talking to him this whole time and my plan was to do exactly what he did with his Mounty, but I was curious if I could do anything else. Apparently not. Alwell, that's enough for me I guess.

    How to lift

    So right now, my plan is to put 3" spindles in the front with a TT and SOA in the rear, maybe with shackles. I've come to the point where I want as much lift as I can manage, but I'm not sure what else there is to do besides a body lift, which I might do a 2". I drive the odd yeared 1995 4d 2wd...

    Underglow Question

    Thanks everyone. I'll have to find out from my friend what series they are, but I'm thinking they are gold. I'll call StreetGlow and find out if they can do anything for me.

    Underglow Question

    I have a set of green streetglow that came off my friend's civic when he sold it. Well he was smart enough to let the guys at the dealership massacre everything and rip it all out of his car. They tore up and broke all the wiring for his subs and they cut the wires on these neon tubes. Well I...

    Tires on stock rims

    Oh, I love this site. Thank you all for your input. This takes some weight off my shoulders knowing I'll be able to get to work a few hundred dollars sooner.

    Tires on stock rims

    Also, is there much, if any, difference performance wise between 12.50 and 10.50 wide tires?

    Tires on stock rims

    So I could put 33x12.50 on my stock rims AT LEAST until I get some new rims? That would be very very nice...

    Tires on stock rims

    I've been looking around for wheels and tires and I'm curious, How big of a tire can I put on my stock rims, which I guess are 15x7. I want to put at least 33s, if not 35s on my ex. I know its not suggested to put 12.50" wide tires on 7" wide rims, but would say 33/10.50 or 335/10.50 fit...

    Modifying a '95 2wd

    Ok, well my friend's dad works for the Ford Factory and I'm sure he can help me with anything I need. I don't know about his welding ability because I don't know what exactly he does at work, but that friend has recently been learning to weld or I can get a shop to do my welding if I have to. I...

    Modifying a '95 2wd

    1. Will this work for my '95? 2. What do I need to buy besides a Ranger BL kit? 3. How hard will this work be to do myself without any special equipment? 4. Can I put 35s on it because I think the 32s he has on that one are too small, but he doesnt have much room behind the front tires...

    Problem(s)

    For quite some time now my Ex has been making this clicking/smacking sound when I'm not moving, and it stops when I get going. I hear it when I have just started the car and I turn the A/C on, but I also noticed it did it when I was sitting at a stop sign and turned the wheel left or right. It's...

    Modifying a '95 2wd

    First off, when I weave traffic, I don't do it like the maniacs you're talking about. Even when I'm trying to keep up with my friend's RSX. I don't cut gap if someone is going to have to even tap their brakes. Second, I don't drive like that all the time. Third, I'm not even going to get into...
