Greetings, gang! Thankfully haven't needed the collective wisdom contained here as the fleet of Explorer's have been plugging along well. Up until yesterday. My daughter has our 2000 xlt (sohc 5r55e 22xxxx miles on car about 70xxx on rebuilt Jasper trans I installed abt 5 years ago) as her college car about 150 miles away and I got the dreaded od off light flashing call last night. We went up this morning with another car for her and my code reader. No light and nothing in memory? Ok?? Drove it home and car behaved well shifted smoothly OD works as evidenced by turning off switch and rpms jump abt 400 or so. Light came on for me on way home too, no change in performance. Before I turned off the car put the reader on it again, nothing. Reader is a Innova Equus 3120, should get trans codes, it did on my GM work van. Only weirdness I can sense in the trans is I'm not sure if torque converter is locking up, the rpms seem to float up a bit more when you give it a bit more gas from a steady pace. But I don't drive this old girl much either so I have a hard time saying whats normal. Fluid is full smells ok and is pretty clear, car has a remote filter and fluid and filters have been changed several times during transmissions lifespan. Any ideas??
