    5R55E, Tranny Guys are Stumped, help?

    5r55e in a 1995 Explorer XLT 4x So the short version of a long story is I paid a small fortune to have my tranny rebuilt after it burned up. I had them put in a shift kit, aux cooler, and HD clutches. Basically I asked them to 'give me the works'... and it wasn't cheap. About 13 months later...

    Anybody have pictures or clues?

    I was hoping someone could give me some clues here. 1995 X, driver seat is securely bolted but like a rocking chair. It's not the seat frame, that's fine, it appears to be the base that the seat bolts to. The front left bolt is snug, but the seat lifts at this point. I'm wondering if a weld...

    Voltage Gauge Install

    I'm posting this because I'm really happy with how it came out and wanted to share. I've been pondering installing a real number voltage gauge in the cab of my Ex for some time now, but I didn't want to use one of my pillar pods for that, nor did I want some giant screen with some logo on it...

    Could use some advice.

    Could use some advice (surging/sputtering) warm start. OK, the long and short of it is this... I've got the intermittent surging idle on warm start issue. It's random, only seems to happen this time of year and definitely only after the truck has been going for a while (Usually after a few...

    Adventures in relay box perfection...

    Console Tray Restoration With Bedliner

    Needed to restore my nasty old console tray... the felt stuff they put on there from the factory was in terrible condition and washing it did nothing. Had this idea to use bedliner on it, but worried that it would melt the plastic. A friend suggested light coats initially and that worked fine...

    Goodbye power antenna (and good riddance)

    I've been rolling around with this broken power antenna eyesore for years, and since I don't like power antennas anyway, I decided to replace it with a generic 3' black antenna. I didn't feel like driving out the the junkyard, so I just figured I'd take a chance with one of these cheap...

    Banging my head (and my wallet's getting thinner!)

    This is my book entitled: "I'm about to drive my rig off of a cliff" There's a very good chance I'm going to miss something in this explanation because I have been working on troubleshooting this issue for months now. It seems that every time one thing is fixed, another thing comes up... but...
