I've got a 2000 Expedition XLT 4.6 2x4. It has 103,555 miles on it and I just had a Ford reman 4.6 long block installed last week. The motor seized up due to my oil pump dying! The tranny was replaced 3 years ago. I know it sounds like a bucket but it's not. It's very nice and I've always done all the scheduled maintenance.
I'm having a hard time finding out the towing capacity of this truck. I have a camper that weighs around 4900lbs. I've been towing it once a month for about a year problem free. I live in SC. All short distance, flat land towing. I believe I'm within the max amount towable, but really want to confirm this before pulling with the new motor.
I'm also a bit concerned about the way it's downshifting. It seems to downshift a bit slower than it should, almost waiting until I'm at a complete stop before finishing the dowshifts. Tranny fluid was just changed and it's seem to be a lot better.
Sorry for the long post!
Any opinions, help finding info, would really be appreciated!
Thanks!
