I'm looking for a replacement for my recently deceased (totaled in the rain) '99 XLS. I'm pretty sure I want a 2wd 5.0 for reliability and simplicity, but I would consider other combinations except the SOHC 4.0. I'm a little confused about the difference between a 5 spd auto and a 4 spd auto w/OD. Isn't this the same thing? I know the trannys are different on the 4.0 and the 5.0, but are there other differences? Thanks.
