[QUOTE="Michael Cacioppo, post: 563088, member: 57235"] TRJ said All automotive engineering is a compromise between functonality, reliability and cost. Does Ford have a problem with the 5R55E transmissio n 2-3 flare? Yes. Are there aftermarket fixes with new relays and valving? Yes. A case of OEM that can be improved. Obviously it met minimum spec. Have you noticed the size of the headlight wires? Pretty small even for the OEM bulbs. Better wiring would allow less voltage drop and therefore brighter lights but that would involve a higher production cost in an area that MOST people wouldn't notice could be improved. TRJ, I'm sure that you have put a scope on an automotive electrical system. There is a lot of noise that needn't be there if a few more bucks were spent on suppression. Automakers design for the bell curve of performance and reliability. It's OK if you are near the center, but often times some of us are on the edges of the curve. Don't forget automakers design the parts to last greater than 3 years or 36000 miles. My goals are higher. [/QUOTE]
