I have a 1999 Explorer that I bought new. It has an annoying problem that I cannot figure out. When at highway speeds, it refuses to downshift unless I floor it. Sometimes it won't downshift then. This is causing problems when transversing hill on the interstate. I'm afraid I will get run over...

Unlike some people wanting to swap from the 4.0 ohv to the 4.0 sohc, I want to swap from the 4.0 sohc to the 4.0 ohv. Why? Simple. The 4.0 sohc has known timing chain problems. And my timing chain is failing, thats why I'm here. I can get a used 4.0 ohv and swap it cheaper than I can get...
