    4 speed auto to 3 speed auto tranny swap.

    Hey everyone, my 94 explorer tranny went out which is a 4 speed auto. A good tranny from a 92 was given to me, but it appears to be a 3 speed. One less shift solenoid than the 94 tranny and the smaller part of the wiring harness doesn't fit the plug. Also looks like an extra wire to deal with...

    Why no Ex Love from Ford in Commercials?

    I watch a lot of college football which btw is the only tme I see Ford commercials. The Built Ford Tough commercial currently being featured has no Explorer. I just dont understand how even internal to Ford why the opinion of the Ex has fallen so far from the 2nd Gen Ex to the 6th Gen Ex.

    “LED Look” Taillights
