[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 743494, member: 60724"] Caymen, I said that! You clearly can see that I said that. But context and intent is everything in the written word. Note that I said "by all accounts". You are familiar with that phrase, right? It is away of attributing an assertion not to oneself, but to common opinion, or common consensus. It’s a way of stating generalities. Regardless, I stand by the assertion as evidence and postings on this board imply that an ST’s tranny is on borrowed time after about 75k miles. Heck, it must be on borrowed time between 36K and 75K given the rationale most have here for purchasing extended warranties. Again, the #1 reason most oft quoted is that “it will pay for itself if I get the tranny flare.†Here is the $64K question, Caymen: [i]Do you absolutely, positively, unequivocally think that the 5R55E transmission in the Explorer vehicles (Explorer, ST, Merc Mountainer) has met the quality and reliability that Ford and Ford customers deserve and have come to expect?[/i] So, which is it: Yes or No? Met, or Not Met? Satisfied or Not? TJR [/QUOTE]
