[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1037951, member: 67547"] ^ Sorry Carl, just saw your post above. 5R55 series transmissions are known to have issues after 100,000 miles or complete failures without towing heavy loads. Judging by your past projects and rebuilds preventative maintenance on your vehicles is second nature. It's common knowledge the key to longevity to engines and transmissions is keeping fluids clean and cool as possible. There are hundreds of threads from many Ford forums regarding the 5R55E's various issues if you search. Found just one of many from EF that may be of interest to you, but there are MANY more on the internet. Good luck.
