    I'm guessing we'll never see a recall on the 5r55w

    Actually, the tsb includes models up to 2009 and includes mustangs and crown Vic's. I don't necessarily agree that the trans is not a safety issue, but I can see your point.

    I'm guessing we'll never see a recall on the 5r55w

    installed pioneer avic 930bt

    I should have gone into this writing a full review. This is the first time I've dealt with crutchfield, and I couldn't be happier. I found this unit on their page for "2002-2005 Ford Explorer" page. They have a budget/customer/staff recommendation; this being the customer favorite. I compared...

    How to remove piece on rear bumper

    It pulls up and off. There are five or six "pins" that push into the bumper. They are molded along with the step pad, so be careful or you will snap them off. You can probably get a scraper under it to get I started. You will be able to see the pins, they run down the center of the step pad...
