🔧Does this apply to your car? Depending on trim and options — tow packages especially — your vehicle may have a separate auxiliary transmission cooler, or one integrated into the radiator side tank. Check which setup you have before planning this job: if it's integrated, cooler service happens with radiator replacement instead.

For shop owners
Tired of looking specs up mid-job?
Auto Shop Base keeps torque specs, labor times and fluids right on the work order.
The 2000 Ford Excursion repair data is incomplete because no one has sponsored it yet. For $99, we generate the full step-by-step procedures, then fact-check them with a second AI pass and your expert review. Your name on every procedure, permanently.
The same data would cost $169/mo from Mitchell1 or $30/year from ALLDATAdiy — and you'd be renting access, not freeing it. Sponsor once, free forever.
