    Transmission swap from F-150 (6R60 to 6R80)

    Hey guys, I just got a 2006 4WD V8 Explorer for dirt cheap at an auction and the original transmission is totally shot. I'm thinking to swap in a used one and I'm finding that low mileage 6R80s from 09-10 F-150s are much cheaper and easier to find, plus it'd be a minor upgrade over the stock...

    Swapping a 2wd 6R60 in place of a 4wd 6R60

    Hi Everyone. First post and looking for information. I've got a V8 4wd with a bad 6R60 transmission and a bad front differential. I'd like to replace the bad 6R60 with a 2wd 6R60 and associated driveshaft. Reasons: I want to avoid the cost of the front axle replacement, and with 144k, I'd...

    2008 v8 Explorer 6R60 trans issues

    Last year my trans was shifting in and out of overdrive. Took it to a shop. They said there were metal shavings in the pan and OD gear was going out. They installed a remanned transmission. Everything was fine for about 8 months until it started shifting down to 1st gear prematurely. I took it...

    Possibly looking a 4th Gen. What Issues Should I Be Aware Of?

    While I greatly prefer First-gen Explorers, They are getting hard to find in the area I'm looking with the equipment I want. I was just punching different years on CL and seeing what pops-up. I saw a nice Eddie Bauer V8 model. It looks really good. I specifically want Eddie Bauer package...

    2006 4.6L 6R60 low power?

    I'm having an issue with the engine fan coming on under light load (not on constantly), making a roaring sound. When this happens, I feel the truck loses power. It will keep it's speed, but accelarations are weak. The transmission will down shift, the revs go up, but the acceleration does not...

    Engine fan roaring (06 4.6L 6R60), trouble shooting process anyone?

    Hi, I have the roaring (wooshing) what ever you want to call it sound issue in my 2006 4.6L 6R60. The engine fan engages excessively (while under very light load) and randomly. The radiator is good, cooling fluid level is good, heat reading is good (stock cluster gauge) and no other reason to...

    Transmission slipping/misfire solved, P0300 2007 Ford Explorer 4.6L 3-valve

    I'm posting this solution to "pay it forward" for all the posts I've utilized in the past. 2007 Ford Explorer XLT with 4.6 L 3-valve engine, with 6R60 6-speed transmission. Radiator was leaking a year ago, so I changed the radiator. Disconnecting the transmission lines to change the radiator...

    2008 4.6 6R60 transmission question

    Does the 6R60 transmission have any "anti-damage" safeguards built in to it? I recently solved a misfiring issue with my 08 4.6 LTD (bad coil). When it would act up and miss was under heavy load. Like stomping on the accelerator to pass a slower vehicle. Or going up a steep hill and having...
