    Help! Replaced transmission, problems (5r55W, 2002 Explorer).

    Hello, I just swapped out my 5r55w with a low miles used one. I put a quart of mercon V in the converter, a new filter, and 4 quarts of fluid in the pan before starting it up. I started it up and clicked it through the gears while up on jackstands. I went to check the fluid level to add more...

    Reccommend me a trans cooler and Transmssion improvements from a tune?

    Hello, I am replacing the transmission in my 2002 explorer (5R55W) with a low-miles used one. I plan on getting an X-cal 2 or 3 as well and I'm wondering if the problems that plague these transmissions can be shored up with a tune alone or should I also look into something like a trans-go shift...

    7 turns to get 120 inch/lbs on my o/d band!

    How bad is this? The trans is a 5R55W in my 2002 4.6L. I marked the face of the side that was facing me and it took 7 full turns to get 120 inch-lbs to click. The fluid was in terrible shape and smelled burnt and it had recently put up the code P0735. The pan magnet was coated with a...

I had to replace the solenoid body and replaced the Valve body gasket as well to cure it from hesitating to go into reverse or back into drive...

    Home built 3rd Gen Sub box, Check it out!

    http://s165.photobucket.com/albums/u58/red82gt/ Notice the very liberal use of wood glue... I cut out the storage compartment and built a slim box with a kick-out the shape of the storage compartment. This gave me the mounting depth I needed for a Cerwin-Vega V-max 10" sub. Let me know what...

    custom exhaust configuration

    I want to uncork the exhaust system a bit on my X. I don't like the fact that the available cat-back systems are just 2 1/2" and to me it looks like the cat-pipe is the biggest HP thief of all. I want to retain the stock spare tire and I want to user a converter (or two) to keep the noise level...

    4.6L first mods?

    Hello, I've had my XLT for about a year now and I'm pretty happy with it but I'd like to improve the performance a bit. I've just replaced the solenoid packs and have a smooth shifting tranny once again. I have plenty of experience with mustangs so the aftermarket is nothing new to me but I...
