i've read over and over about the tranny problems that explorers have. i'm picking up my 96 4.0 xlt this afternoon and it has 68 k on the engine. i checked out all the fluids and and the trans fluid looked as if it hadn't been changed in a while. the explorer does not have a tow package on it so i'm pretty sure that it hasn't been under any load except for daily use. now i'm pretty sure that the fluid is supposed to be changed every 21k or so? i told the dealer to change the fluid and filter and i'n in the process of acquiring a tranny cooler. the question is, if i get the fluid and filter changed and install the tranny cooler will i be set to go for a while?
i'm going to be driving from portland oregon to tampa florida in august and probably towing a small light weight trailer aswell. i'm wanting to prevent things from going bad in the long haul. thanks.
