- '05 Sport Trac Adrenalin
Patient: 2000 EB 5.0L AWD - Flashing O/D - 134,000 miles - CoPart Salvage Title $600
[Fixing issues BEFORE it gets driveline swapped into a 2005 Sport Trac.]
Indications:
Flashing O/D light
Clean, unburned fluid
No unexpected debris in pan, no plug
"Firm" shifts (as expected in "limp-home" mode)
Codes:
P0401: Insufficient EGR Flow
P0174: Lean Bank 2
P1746: Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) Solenoid A - Open Circuit
P1270: Excessive Engine RPM/Vehicle Speed [Hmm...]
Expected Use:
Pri: Towing a 5,000lb (loaded) camper in varying "Lower 48" conditions.
Sec: Escape the undead horde.
Looks like the EPC has failed, or the Internal Molded Lead-Frame is bad. My plan is (as always) to do this once:
New EPC, verify/replace TCC, 1/2 Solenoids
New Internal Molded Lead-Frame
New filter
Add drain plug to pan
"While I'm in there...":
Considering the J-MOD and SONNAX Zip-Kit, or Fairbanks Trans kit, but the search data show 15yo threads with info on early (Pre-'98) trans.
Looking for some up to date/modern "Sauce" on the 2000 4R70w (Original "Warranty Claim" sticker on the pan - so post-TSB?).
Thx
