Dweano is Back! (with questions)

[Dweano]

Hey guys...you probably didn't notice I was gone but...I am back Haha. I haven't been on Ranger Station for probably about a year because I blew the tranny in my Ranger and now my truck is just an expensive lawn ornament. But I have found a lead on a tranny/transfer case/torque converter.

130,000kms
200 bucks
Came off of a 99 4.0L Explorer that was a write off, guy bought it because he needed the engine

Sound good?

I was under the impression that all 4.0L trannies bolt up for all 4.0 engines because the OHV and the SOHC has the same bolt pattern? Correct me if I am wrong please. He doesn't know the transmission code but if it came off a 4.0l then the only options are 4R55E and 5R55E correct? Both of which I can make work?

Anyways this should maybe be in the tranny section but I figured I would say hey and such, if you wanna look at my truck and what I have done (shameless promo alert...) this is the most recent activity http://www.therangerstation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107125

Dude, we really don't need to hear the details on that part...




Welcome back.

You are correct, according to the charts your 96 should have the 4R55E and the 99 Expo should have the 5R55E.



And a quick search of "4r55 5r55" netted this:

That should help.

Yeah I think a long time ago I did some searching and found that a 5r55e and 4r55e are identical mechanically, just some electrical stuff is different, and that a 4r55e to 5r55e swap is pretty simple. Which is what I like to hear! Haha
