I wanted to share my experience and a word of caution regarding the EPC adjustment project.
Given my personal experience with this adjustment and subsequent research resulting from messing with this I would highly advise NOT doing this.
I have an 05 Trac and made the adjustement while doing a filter change. It indeed seemed to improve shifting due to the increased line pressure. Given further research into the fact I am running a tune I decided to remove the adjustment while adding a larger trans pan.
Needless to say I now have a new EPC solenoid on its way from Torrie our site sponsor. This is after messing around with my Ford service dealer, back and forth with Torrie regarding Xcal tunes, and indepth research on the Ford Explorer site regarding the 5R55E rebuild.
If you do decide to do this adjustment, the guide is spot on and the principle is sound. However the EPC is not meant to be adjusted physically only by the PCM so be advised. Also Torrie is the man to get the new solenoid from.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
