Where to order a new EPC for my 4R55E

[Vikane]

My local dealer in Norway is demanding $350.00 for a new EPC solenoid.
Can someone please direct me where to order a EPC for my '96 4R55E in the US ? Was hoping to find a solenoid for for a bit less than that.

Thanks, will contact them.
Any idea if I could use one of these on ebay ? http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=4r55e+epc&_sacat=See-All-Categories

The green band filter is the one for the 4R55E. The 5R55E has the red band filter.

I am confused, according to http://www.800700tran.com/prod.itml/icOid/153
The red one is from '96 and up.

I've just got them from 800700tran.com. The tech said the red band is fine for the 4R55E and consider it'a a update. I'm about to install them into my 95 Explorer 4R55E.

Have sent them an email, but seems like they don't want to reply

They don't reply to emails for some reason, which wasted me a whole week. Just called their 800 number or just purchase one off the website. I finally got hold of Anna and we ended up getting the same 5R55E VB and soleniods off the website. They shipped pretty quick though.

Damn , hate companies that has a webpage and email, but refuses to reply when contacting them.

Someone else who has an opinion whether i can use the red XL2Z-7G383-AA ?

Asked a ebay-seller if they would work on my '96, her is his reply:
--------------
it will work on 95 & 96 models , but generally not suggested. There
is a slight difference between the 2 designs ( ohms & pulse ).

Thanks for pictures, but they didn't give me much. What does the difference between the red and the green one mean in practice ?

 

[BrooklynBay]

The performance curve of the red band EPC is a little smoother.

Here's a more detailed explaination from somebody that works for Borg Warner: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1768725&postcount=225. The above pictures & graphs are from his company that were sent to Glacier991.
