Thank you sir! I am not 100% certain. I am assuming that the only way to confirm the torque converter's proper positioning is to remove the transmission again. Is that correct?

1996 Ford Explorer 4.0L Automatic 4x4. Just replaced the transmission with an Autozone reman 3 yr warrenty unit. In the process, the t-case was removed. When all was put back together, I put the truck in drive and the rig did not move. None of the gears work. I shutter to think that the...

Thank you for all the great comments. I replaced the plugs about 1000 miles ago. The old plugs did not look bad at all. All plugs seem show evidence of clean burning with no oil residue. I will pull them again. I am also inclined to a leak down test.

Mileage = 140,000. The PVC valve was in good shape. I also checked the tightness of the bolts in the lower manifold. They are good too. Is 150 lbs. of compression sufficient? I have no leaks and no smoke, just annoying oil consumption.

I have no discernable leaks. The rear main is moist, but does not drip. No sign of oil underneath the truck. I did a compression test and all cylinders were within 5 lbs of each other (155 to 150). I see no smoke from the exhaust, only a few drops of water. Does anyone have any idea how I...

I know very little about motors, but I do believe mine to be OHV. If the short block requires a SOHC, then it sounds like it is a dead issue from the get go. I am assuming there is no economical workaround. Thank you for your help.

I have located a 2005 4L short block, part number 5L2E-6015-B13A. Will it accept 1996 Ford Explorer 4L heads, manifold, flywheel, starter, transmission housing, etc.? I am concerned about bolt patterns and other obstacles. Any assistance is appreciated.

I did not want to expose my lack of forethought, so I did not include the fact that I already had it installed. Ugh! It shifts fine between first and second and third and overdrive, but between second and third there is a noticeable hesitation and the engine increases about 1000 RPM until it...

Can I swap a 1997 transmission for a 1996 transmission? Both Explorers are 4WD. The 1997 transmission appears to have sensor connectors on it that I do not see on the 1996. Is there a way to adapt the 1997 for a 1996 application or will the swap result in shifting problems?

1996 Explorer XLT 4.0L I began this saga trying to fix an instrument cluster where the odometer and trip meter did not work and the tachometer worked intermittently. All other gauges worked correctly. I bought a used cluster, removed the old one and replaced it with the one I recently...
