Ford Explorer: 2000 Exp Question

    2000 Exp Question

    Hi all,
    Just upgraded to a 2000 Explorer XLT 4WD, from my 1996 Explorer. Dealer
    gave me more than I was expecting, surprising, but they've done me well with
    the last two cars I bought from them (and I also got the this Exp. from them
    originally)

    My question is, how can I find out what kind of transmission my Exp has?
    Which letter in the VIN denotes this, and also what is my rear axle ratio?
    I assume that can be derived from the VIN as well.

    Everything seems great with this vehicle, tranny feels solid, 4WD system
    works nice. The only thing I seemed to have found wrong with it was a nice
    rattle in the rear going over bumps and crappy roads. I looked in the jack
    storage area and found that it wasn't tightened in there all the way.

    Any info is appreciated.

    Thanks!

    No the VIN, but the certification sticker on the driver's door. Post the
    codes under TR and AXLE (or AX), and someone here will decode them for you,
    I am sure.

    you, 
    I have some to decode. Please.
    The TR===U
    The AXLE=D4

    MFG. 8-99 for a 2000 year model.
    I have just upgraded also, from a 94 EB to a 2000 Limited.
    (And yes I did get that auto check and paid for it too.)
    I didn't trade my old one in. I purchased from private party.

    BTW what all is included in the trailer /tow package for this Exp. I assume
    it has transmission cooler and LS axle with possibly a larger alternator.
    What do you think?

    I do plan to do;
    front and rear brake job
    transfer case service
    transmission service
    coolant drain and refill
    replace fuel filter
    new battery
    replace rear window wiper arm, tension is gone, it streaks.

    At 67k does someone recommend more service?

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Most likely has a tranny cooler. Mine did, and it's
    a step below your limited, an XLT.

    Look under the front end, should be mounted in front of the radiator.

    Well I found out TR = D is transmission type, which
    D is automatic five speed.

    U is Automatic 4R70W (F-150, F-250)

    Got these from forff150.net, don't know if they apply to
    Explorers, but it's possible.

    Found a VIN decoder:

    Doesn't show transmission type though.
