From what I have read, the original ones have three welds that basically are where the cracks begin. There is a revised design available from ford without the welds for like $125-150 and a revised spacer which are supposed to be much stronger.

I know this isn't a V8, but this is the cracked flexplate in my 95 4.0 Sport: You can see where it is cracked clean around the center piece. The starter would not start the vehicle, just whirrr because it uses the teeth on the flexplate to turn the motor over. Since the outside of the plate...

I was able to get the trans lines off without too much issue through the top after changing my angle of approach. If I could find my box wrenches, it may have been easier. That being said, i got it out without removing the Y pipe, due to some seriously rusted bolts on the manifolds. It...

Yeah, i figured that cutting them would be an option, but would like to try and get them out whole first. No one knows the size of the nut on them?

Help with trans removal ?*Got It Out* How do I remove the transmission Cooling lines if I can't remove the exhaust (can't get the y pipe removed due to bolts in the manifolds.) I have the access panel out from up top, but am unsure what size the fittings are. I have heard a flare wrench is...

Thanks. i will be getting some pictures when the weather is better. Hoping to tackle it this weekend if I get some nice days.

Well, I thought I have moved on from explorers when I sold my 95 Sport about a month ago. it had a bad flexplate keeping it from starting, but was otherwise sound. Sold it to a guy I know for his father-in-law, cause he needed a vehicle. I let them take it before getting paid... and you can...

That should help. It looks like the Flywheel to Torque Converter are one time use, so I guess I will need a couple of those?

did your truck have keyless and you just don't have the keyfob? I might have one here extra. I programed 2 of them to my 95 Sport and they were easy to do. I believe they were the same up to a point. Also, do you have the keypad on the side? If you do, and don't know the code, you can do a...

Just wondering if there was a Step by Step how to for removing the transmission and Transfer Case? I need to replace the flexplate in my 95 Sport, and I have never dropped a transmission before. I will most likely be doing it in my driveway and not on a lift, so that will factor in, and I would...

Bravadas are AWD, whereas the blazers and jimmy's are selectable. It may be the computer that controls the awd in it. Does it throw any codes?

wow. that was a sharp looking sport. And I really like your red one a lot. If 2wd was practical here, i would probably be finding out what you did to your once I found one.

Wow. Glad you are ok. That sure looks like it was a hell of a ride.

The fuel pump actually isn't that bad of a job if the truck isn't too rusty. I did one on my 95 Sport. Took me about 2-4 hours roughly (not quite sure since I did it over two days, on the ground in the pouring rain at a friends house since he owned it at the time) Hardest part was getting the...
