My truck's automatic transmission (4R55E) is dead. I am stuck between buying a remanufactured transmission for $1300 or buying a 1997 Explorer w/ 5.0L v8 and 140k miles for $1000 OBO, and just swapping that drivetrain into my truck instead.
My 4.0 v6 that is currently in my truck has roughly 135k-140k miles on it and works perfectly. What would you do...transmission swap or v8 swap?
