Automatic Transmission

[georgeshannon]

I have a 2000 Expedition XLT 4x4. Today I crawled under and wrote down what was on the driver's side tag attached to the transmission.

4Z YL3P - BA
PRB - CD1
00074062
BD - 0D07

Can anyone decode this and tell me which transmission I have?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
George

Hmm.... how many pan bolts did the trans have?

 

[georgeshannon]

There are 21 bolts in the transmission pan including the drain plug.

Thanks,
George

If your pan looks like this it is a 4R100.... no drain plug and kind of a square pan it is the 4r70w.....

okay so i forgot the picture attach doesn't work here... if the pan has a drain plug right in the bottom of the sump than it is the 4r100 the 4r70w doesn't have a drain plug from the factory.

My pan has a jog on one corner and a drain plug dead center of the pan bottom. From your decription, I'd say its the 4R100. Would you agree?

Thanks for the help. I'm setting this Expy up as a tow vehicle. Am going to install an aftermarket transmission cooler and a front receiver very soon.

Thanks again,
George

I don't think you need the transmission type for another cooler. Whats a front reciever?

Correct. I was just adding a little background conversation while green03 was helping me determine my transmission type.

I didn't know the transmission type so asked the group if anyone could decode the information from the tag attached to the transmission. So far, no one seems to know how to decode the transmission type from the information on the tag.

A receiver is a device into which a trailer hitch fits. These are usually found on the rear of an Expedition but can be found on the front sometimes used for winch mounting, skid plates, and other things.

Hope this helps,

Not to hijack the thread, but, how strong are the tow hooks on the front bumper? I have 3 old receivers laying around and it looks like a good place to mount a temporary hitch, or a good starting point for something permanent.
