We got the bugger with 27K on it, the torque converter in my ATX went out at 94K, cause the tranny to have to be rebuilt, but everything is fine now. I now have 131K on the engine and it's still running just fine. Of course, we take good care of the car too. 2004 Ford Freestar V6 Boogity Boogity Boogity, Let's go racin Boys!

Anyone with FI expereince knows this is true. Although I am sure his ATX is almost dead. Honestly, how is the ATX behaving with all of the abuse?

I always take it easy on the car until it is up to operating temp. Remember, what kills the CD4E is heat. I have had a B&M racing trans cooler for like 2 years.....and like I said ever since I have had this car (bought it at 20k) I have flushed the trans religiously 20-25k even if the fluid is new.
