Well I did some research and there's a place in Florida called autocomputerperformance.com and they can pretty much delete anything you want on your ECU/PCM including the PATS system! They can also delete emissions stuff and also do some performance tuning and a lot of other stuff so I sent them...

Haha dang Ford and always changing everything after a few years! I ordered a Haynes manual for the 98 and it said it has electrical stuff in there so we'll see if that's in the book plus it'll just be nice too have a book like that anyhow for when you need to know little stuff like this

Do you have the pin connector diagram for the 98 explorer 4.0 ohv with a manual transmission? And if so, which wires are the only ones you need to run the motor? Thanks

No o haven't done anything to the expedition, bone stock but that's good to know. Thanks

Does anyone have the diagram of the pin connector for a 98 4.0 ohv explorer with a manual transmission?

Yea you do make a good point about leafs being lighter and more simple, I need to think about it. It is a rock crawler mainly and the rear mono leafs flex pretty dang good. My expedition is a 5.4 yes with 155000 on it so that's not bad since most of them are around 200-250k miles. It pulls my...

I also like when guys back half a ranger and four link the rear. My thought was buying a chassis from fabn801.com, it's a bare bones chassis but it's a solid starting point but the more I think about the more work it really starts to seem so I was also thinking of doing some sort of back half on...

Well I have my 98 two door that's in my avatar picture so I have everything available, basically I'm throwing the idea around of having a lighter buggy and using my 98 as a donor since I have solid 44/8.8 axles and a doubler, basically everything I need to switch it all over to a tube chassis...

So if for example if I wanted to go the 93 ecm route what would I all need? The ecm and wiring harness from a 93 4.0? And when you say the OBD-1 isn't as good performance wise what do you mean? Electrical and computers is a weak spot for me so if you don't mind explaining that a little that...

Ok awesome, I appreciate the response!

hey guys so im throwing the idea around to build a smaller tube chassis rock crawler, the idea is to use a stock 4.0 ohv from my 98 sport which has the manual 5 speed. my question is what must i all need to make the 4.0 run properly, i.e. needing the pcm? would i need any of the fuse boxes? must...

Yea it's funny because I bought this thing completely stock for 500$ just to have as a backup beater and never once thought it would have came to this haha

Thanks, and yea they are very capable as long as you're willing to stick some time into it and think outside the box

So I've been on here for a few years now and have gotten lots of great advice on here and built my two door sport into something I thought would never have gotten to this so I was wondering if any of you guys have built your explorers into something crazy, I'll share a few pix of mine from our...
