New info just in.
My 03 was made in Feb 03, right in the March 02 to Aug 03 run of a PCM that matched to the 5R55S transmission in these SUVs.
I cannot get a new replacement Solenoid Pack for the model run. You can only get the new Solenoid Pack for the post AUG 03 model runs..
I BELIEVE I NEED a late 03 PCM (after Aug 03) as Ford switched in 04 to CAN BUSS
Question when was this switch made??
My 03 was NOT Can Bus ,I believe the switch may be in 04…I Pray there was a short time when the switch was to a newer PCM still on the old bus before the switch officially in 04 to CANBUS.
OR can a 04 CANBUS PCM be put into a non-CANBUS 03 Explorer??
Were the 03 CANBUS ready??
