New valve body in 98 4.0 sohc. GREAT!!!

[PeteinCalif]

This is some feedback from someone who just had a new valve body installed in a 98 4.0sohc 5R55E. We have owned this car for 10 years about 2001 the transmission failed and Ford replaced it 2 times in a two week period (under warranty) It developed the 2/3 flare maybe 2 years ago. The Total vehicle milage is 85000 miles and it is driven by my wife. Lately the flare became a lot worse and researching that brought me to this forum. From what I learned here I bought a rebuilt valve body from Donny at Central Valve Bodies and had it installed at a local transmission shop. Two days after this the thermostat in the engine failed (NO CONNECTION just a bad coincidence) but after that was fixed the car drives just great. So thats my story. Thanks to all who took the time to answer and help. Pete

Central Valve Bodies give Explorer Forum members a discount. I'm not sure how much. Did you tell him that you were a member?
