I'm not familiar with the Torsion Twist...... How exactly is this done ?? Anyone have pics ?? I'd actually like to lower my truck about 1 1/2". :confused:

Go back and resand the pins on the PCM. Make sure you sand down the undersides of the gold pins as well. Occasionally, the chip burners spit out a bad chip here and there so keep that in mind.

Dude, you'd be surprised! Ford's Upper Crust and Ford's lawyer's have their Homepages set on a site called BON (Blue Oval News). http://www.blueovalnews.com/ Go check it out!

Yea, NOT a real smart decision of the Ford Upper Crust. Did you read the full article ? Pretty compelling evidence I'd say....

Holy **** DUDE!! No disrepect, but you REALLY need to educate yourself to the topic at hand!! The Firestone tires in question are an Engineering NIGHTMARE!! I'm becoming to believe that the Explorer's design defects are a FORD Managment NIGHTMARE about to come Reality!! That is...

FYI! Take note of the parts in BOLD type!

ttt I'm still trying to find out what the sizes (diameters in mm) are for the stock MAF and Throttle body units. Does anyone know for a fact what these the sizes are ?? And for what engine (4.0L or 5.0L) ??

Come on folks! Add your X to this survey!! :yelexp: :confused: :exp: :confused: :redexp: :confused:

FYI....copied from Dead Link Removed For 1995, the 4R44E (4 cyl. - light-duty) and 4R55E (6 cyl. - heavy-duty; i.e. Explorer) electronically controlled transmission replaced the A4LD. It is mechanically identical to the A4LD. Later, the 5R55E was introduced behind the 4.0L SOHC V6 as...

Hey Jason, I just doubled back over my research... Yes, the OHV does use the 4R55E (4sp Auto) However, the SOHC uses the 5R55E (5sp Auto) only.

How do I do this ?? Hey Moderator! Can you merge them for me ??

:eek: :o :eek: The key word here folks is the SAME! FYI !! The above chips AND the like of HyperChip and Jet Chip and others ARE Garden Variety "COOKIE CUTTER Chips!! Disclaimer: I AM NOT getting paid for the following endorsement! Anyways...There is a Chip called CustomChip...

I'd like to know as well. I know folks have upgraded these units.... What size upgrades give decent results on the SOHC ??

I'll have to check again where I found that info..... I did a search on Google using (55R5E) Yea, I read/heard somewhere that the 2nd gear is actually 1st gear (gear 1.5) with the shift solenoid engaged locking the Torque Converter. I don't exactly understand how locking the Torque...

Bubba, you forgot to list your Gear Ratios and tires size! :p :eek: :p :D

Well, after some research on the web, here's what I found out so far.... The 5R55E was introduced in 1997 and is ONLY offered in the 4.0L SOHC Explorer. These are the gear ratios listed below. [list=1] 5R55E 2.47 1.87 1.47 1.00 0.75 [/list=1]

Tires sizes WILL actually have a VERY significant effect on your speedometer/odmeter/MPG readings! -->>>Click Here For Tire Size Comparison Calculators<<<--]

First of all, anyone know what year this transmission came out in ?? What other applications is this transmission used in ?? What are the gear ratios inside of it ?? Where can more information be found out about it ?? Thanks, -ERIC

OK! I'll start it off! [list=1] - 4.0L SOHC - 5sp Automatic 5R55E - 4.10 gears - 255/70-16s... 30" ?? - 2 Wheel Drive - All Stock. No mods (yet!) - 16.8 MPG avg. (1st fillup!) [/list=1]

Hey folks, The last MPG survey was quite arbitrary. Not nearly enough information was provided by most users to make rational assessments of actual comparisons of vehicle MPGs. So for this MPG survey, PLEASE state the following options on your Explorer. [list=1] - Engine type (4.0L...

OK! Here's what I have! Just bought it 2 weeks ago. BTW, it's a 98 EB 4x2. [list=1] - 4.0L SOHC - 5sp Automatic 5R55E - 4.10 gears - 255/70-16s... 30" ?? - 2 Wheel Drive - 16.8 MPG avg. (1st fillup) - All Stock. No mods (yet!) [/list=1]
