    Code P0743..Help!

    I've looked around about it a lot. Seems it could be either or. I noticed that these 5r55w's have a looooong history of the valve body going bad. It would be my guess to just replace the solenoid pack and the valve body

    OD light flashing..'check transmission'

    I'm hoping for it to be the valve body honestly. Not too much work at all from the looks of it. I've not done any type of tranny work before but a good buddy of mine said he would do the work for free. The easier for him, the better for me lol. Good thing for great friends! Whatever it is, I...

    I should've studied up a bit before I purchased this. This is my first Ford and the LAST one. Never again!!

    OD light flashing..'check transmission'

    It was just a change. Not a full flush. I don't think it locked up. I just felt a quick kick. That was it. Blink of an eye type thing.

    OD light flashing..'check transmission'

    As I was driving home tonight, I had the trailer attached with no load. I was coming up a hill which I come up everyday on my way home. I felt a kick in the tranny. Afterwards the chime when off and I looked down at the cluster and the center said 'check transmission' and the o/d light was...

    o/d light flashing..'check transmission'

    Thanks for the reply, Pop. I wasn't in OD. Previously, I'd been having a small shift flare between 4th and 5th/OD, so beings I drive in the city 95% of the time I decided to just keep it out of OD. I've not been having problems since then until lastnight. I don't know a lot about these vehicles...

    What happened to my audio?

    Well, tonight that door speaker decided to play. All the wiring was checked a couple days ago and everything was good. So I figured maybe it was just a bad speaker. Tonight I decided to crank the volume a bit because a song I liked came on...Guess what? Somehow that door speaker has started...

    Aftermarket head unit issue

    All wiring is fine. Checked it out a little bit ago. I pulled out cd player fuse to check it. It was good. After I put it back in I checked the unit again. I had sound coming from 3 speakers. But not driver door speaker. Now I'm lost again

    What happened to my audio?

    So I pulled the unit and checked all connections. Everything was good. I have two separate fuses behind the unit. One is in a box and the other is a inline. I pulled the boxed fuse, it was good. Put it back in and checked unit. I had all speakers playing except for driver door. I checked inline...

    What happened to my audio?

    Lol. I would love for it to be some sort of loose connections. Someone had told me it could be a bad head unit. But its getting power and functioning as usual, after I had to readjust all the settings again. I will pull it and check all connections. Thanks!!

    What happened to my audio?

    I installed an aftermarket unit about a month ago. Everything has been fine...until tonight. I started the truck up and noticed I was only getting sound from one speaker. Then I realized I lost all my settings on the unit. It was dim, the treble and bass wasn't the same, and my preset radio...

    5r55W question

    I'm looking to purchase a used 5r55w or purchase a vehicle that has the 5r55w. My question is, what vehicles have this transmission.I've seen some ads that say its a 5r55w but its 4 wheel drive. Did it serve as 2wd and 4wd? I was told only the 02 explorer had it. Is this true? I have a 2002 EB...

    Leaking coolant...

    Theres a 3/4" bypass cap on the very back passenger side. That seems to be where it was leaking. I pulled it off and there was about a 1/2" crack. Looked to be dry rotted. Replaced it and so far everything is fine.

    Leaking coolant...

    Thanks guys. Just went out to find where the leak is coming from. Under the black covering (I don't know the correct name) over the motor I noticed some standing fluid on the back passenger side. So I'm about to take it off and see what I find

    Leaking coolant...

    About a week ago around 8pm I started up my vehicle to let it warm up. When I pulled out of the driveway I noticed a BIG wet area that had started to run. Got out to check what this was. It was coolant. Checked overflow tank and it had dropped dramatically. (it was about 10 degrees that night)...
