Expedition 4WD V8-5.4L SOHC VIN 5 (2005)
Install the tubing ferrule hose assembly connector onto the end of the steel fluid cooler tube. Finger-tighten the ferrule nut, then tighten the nut an
additional 1-1/2 turns to seat the ferrule in the connector.
5. CAUTION: The filter has a bypass valve in it. The red arrow on the filter indicates the direction of fluid flow through the filter. The filter must
be installed in the fluid cooler return line with the red arrow on the filter pointing away from the transmission fluid cooler and toward the
transmission (the return line has fluid coming out of the cooler going to the transmission). If the fluid filter is not installed correctly, it will cause
internal transmission damage.
CAUTION: Do not install any rubber hoses or steel tubing with a bend entering the filter greater than 60 degrees.
Using a suitable length of hose install the filter. Tighten the hose clamps.
6. Clean a section of the transmission fluid pan and install the sticker.
7. If equipped, install the skid plate and the bolts.
8. Fill the transmission with clean automatic transmission fluid.
