Thanks for the advice 2000StreetRod. Ill probably dig into it this weekend! I reset the code right after I pulled it. It hasnt showed up again (yet) even after I have already driven more than 100 miles since the reset.

Hi all, Sorry for hopping in on the tranny questions! I have a 97 4.0 SOHC With a D code under the TR on the door sticker. I believe that makes it a 5R55E? Yesterday I recieved the OD flash. I scanned it with a OBDII reader and came up with code P0741. I understand the code could mean something...

Good Write up MotoDan. I know its been a few years since you posted this but its nice to get an idea what I'm looking for. Reading this info makes me more comfortable I can tackle it myself. I also just got the flashing OD light and am told a rebuild is needed. It has been running just fine...

bobdabldr, I inherited a 97 4 door xplorer. It also had the "Death Rattle" I pulled the motor and put a rebuild in. To me it just made more sense. With the SOHC you may also need a special ford tool. Ask 2000streetrod if he would do this motor pull again. Its a long slow process. I would just...

I myself have performed a complete 4.0 SOHC engine swap due to Timing Chain Rattle. I was given a 97 XLT 4.0 SOHC for free because the timing chain rattled like a B*&$%! My parents owned the explorer for several years. My mother drove it with the serious rattle of the chain for almost a year...

I have a 97 4.0 SOHC and I HAD the same problem. I live in Wisconsin and winters get pretty cold. When temps dropped this winter I noticed the stalling and sputtering as well. It was extremely annoying when all i wanted to do was start it so it could warm up. I too had a hole in my muffler but I...
