A bit out there, but I've a friend who was diving to work, 2006 F150 with a 4R75E transmission. On the highway and experianced sudden engine redline. No warning, no unexpected noises, vibration, nothing. Pulled to the side of the road, and has nothing. No drive, no reverse, -- oh, Park works...

Have a couple irritating issues with the 4R70W in my Ranger. Not sure if I'm looking at a valve body problem, or if the problems are deeper in. 1st, is a massive flare when downshifting out of locked 4th at full throttle. The trans seemingly goes into neutral and lets the engine rev freely...

The '96 Expo 4R70W I've got in my Ranger has a vicious WOT downshift flare when dropping down into 3rd. Absolutely no issues the rest of the time. Gentle acceleration offers up a smooth as silk downshift, it's only at WOT. I've read of this complaint about the 4R70W on a number of forums...

Looking for a bit of help in identifying what year these seats came from. Def came from an Explorer Sport, but I ordered a set of seat covers for them that simply don't fit. Don't know if I've got the year wrong, or if the supplier got the pattern wrong. The seat covers I've got fit...

My '96 Expo 5.0/4R70W driven Ranger has an irritating bad habit: An agonizingly slow then abrupt down shift on hard acceleration. Only on hard acceleration. Normal day to day driving, with "easing" onto the throttle, the transmission will downshift fine. Really makes driving the Ranger a...

I have a couple odd symptoms with the 4R70W behind the '96 5.0 in my Ranger. Neither seem severe but both can be quite annoying. 1st. Particularly during a rapid stop, it seems like the torque converter does not unlock and it'll either cause the engine to stumble or go so far as to stall...

Thought I'd share a SoHK lesson or two! Yea, not everyone's cup 'o tea but it sure makes a fun drive. Preparation: 1st things 1st, a couple GREAT guides and info on the swap: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=302956...

I've picked up a leak in the power steering pressure hose, right at the p/s pump on my '96 Expo 5.0. The leak is between the center tubing and the outer fitting that screws into the pump. The nylon seal for the outer fitting is commonly available, but is there a 2nd seal between the...

I have a 1996 Explorer 5.0 tucked into the nose of my 2002 Ranger. Went through the 5.0 before installing but had to have missed something. Getting very poor fuel economy and I can't figure out why. Hoping a fresh set of eyes and minds might turn up an idea or two cause I'm surely out of...

Still working on ironing out the install of a '96 Expo 5.0 into my 02 Ranger. Using Torque Pro, I can see a number of either incomplete or failed internal tests but all I'm seeing are numeric test ID's and numeric component ID's. The ECU has not set any external fault codes so I'm looking...

My '96 Explorer 5.0/4R70W powered 02 Ranger has suddenly developed a bunch of separate seeming transmission issues: From the initial install a couple months ago, it's always behaved well when cold. Sometimes the 1/2 or 2/3 shifts have been a bit baulkey/harsh but nothing significant. Have...

Wanted to chime in with a quick introduction. Been twisting wrenches for a long time, have had my 02 Ranger for 4 years and 70K miles. Just dropped a '96 Explorer 5.0 into it, might not be the cleanest ever V8 conversion but I don't think it looks to butchered up. Still have some...

Recently installed a '96 5.0 into my 02 Ranger. Runs very well but is getting unexpectedly poor fuel economy. No misses, no stumbles and has plenty of power. Engine got a thorough refresh before getting dropped in (well, more like squeezed in); honed cylinders, new rings, bearings, oil...
