    2003 explorer front camber

    I replaced the front upper control arms, lower ball joints and sway bar end links recently on my 2003 explorer (4.6l 4x4 ) Front tires are now wearing out on the outer edge like the front camber is off. Too much positive camber it looks like. Now according to my research and a local alignment...

    Fast Idle, help!

    I have this same issue. High idle with hard down shift. It only downshifts hard when its idling high. When its idling normal it downshifts normal. I do not have any vacuum leaks as I checked. I have cleaned the throttle body in case something was sticking but I dont believe it is. I also can...

    Tranny help

    Forgot to update this. Mine was a bad OD servo. Replaced it and the truck now shifts into 2nd normally and will go into OD.

    2003 XLT V8 with tranny problem

    Should you be able to tell if the band is broken by adjusting on it. What should I expect to see happen if I adjust it in some? Just trying to see if there is a way to narrow it down better between it being a broken band or a bad OD servo before taking it apart.

    2003 XLT V8 with tranny problem

    Dropped the pan when the solenoid pack was replaced thinking it was the problem. Didn't see and pieces of metal. How much should I adjust the band. Like one full turn and should I be going clock wise. If the band was broke would the truck still go into 2 gear?

    2003 XLT V8 with tranny problem

    So by my description of the problem do you think it is more likely that the OD servo is bad or the band is broke. Thanks for your help.

    Tranny help

    I think it is either the O/D servo or the band broke. If the band broke how would that effect 2nd gear? Anyone know.

    I have a 2003 XLT V8 4x4 with 80k on it and the O/D light is flashing. It shifts into 2nd very high in the rpm range and wont go into od at all. So i had the code pulled and is said something to the effect of needing to change the shift solenoid. So I did that and it still acts the same. Pulled...
