Update
We finally installed the U. joints The factory ones started sounding like crickets
The rear u joint ended up having water damage
The seals have gotten hard
I did purchase a ball joint press Made the job very easy
We clamped The ball joint press In the bench vise Worked a treat

Always good to hear updates on your Explorer!

My transmission voluntarily self-destructed so it makes upgrading easier for the supercharger install. Did you do anything special to your transmission's 'guts'?

I had it rebuilt
The rebuild guy did upgrades I'd have to look at the paperwork
Ask your rebuild guy what upgrades he can do

Jeg's actually has off-the-shelf upgraded transmissions with same kit as 5.0 'teenager-vs-telephone pole' Mustang transmissions.
Seems like everyone who says they 'repair transmissions' just order off-the-shelf replacements anyway. hard as heck to find someone who knows what the sign on the front of a 'transmission shop' implies. :/

Thanks!

If I remember correctly there wasn't too many speed related upgrades that could be done the frictions and steel plates were upgraded in my transmission but I am not sure on the details it's been a few years

All of the real upgrades were done with new valve body and stuff done to it
all factory Recommended stuff

I did install an external transmission cooler filter
And I change the fluid once a year
I just suck as much as I can get from the dipstick tube Usually a gallon
At 50,000 miles I adjusted the bands

 

[C420sailor]

^^my man

Everyone neglects the band adjustment

Brake upgrades yeeyeee

@donalds …. With your external transmission cooler, you probably can disconnect both of the lines, then run them into a bucket … just measure the removed fluid, then add that much more new fluid. You can easily exchange as much transmission fluid as you want.

I do this annually for two consecutive years, then drop the pan to change the filter on the third year. Just an idea…. What do you think?

 

[donalds]

That's exactly my plan for next time
I have a filter there when its due to be changed
Ill try that method

Yeah, they really do help slow things down and are very reasonably priced even with the ceramic pads.
