    Brakes are Broken

    Sounds silly but people have done this. Not mentioning names, but make sure you installed new calipers right side up. Although they seem same side to side , they aren't. Make sure bleeder valves are at the top.

    5.0 Radiator interchange?

    AutoZone lists duralast b1824 for 1997 B2308 for 2000. B1824 fits same, double row thick. Wierd. Only 1998 shows the 13 psi rad cap version on rockauto. All other years are 16 psi from what I see. I remember this from owning a 98. Why the difference? Edit. Difference of radiators can be...

    5.0 Radiator interchange?

    Look closely at AutoZone radiator specs, you'll see 96-97 V8 radiators are thicker vs 98-01. Pretty sure cap psi rating is higher on later radiators also.

    My latest project: 1970 Dodge Dart 512 C.I. Bracket Racer

    It's the small things. High of 82 today, temp dropping fast. It'll be 20 degrees or less overnight, after 3 days of record temps. How's that for a cool day?

    Learning the 2001 Explorer Sport

    My thoughts would be, 1st. Do 4wd lights illuminate with key on bulb check? Have her shift to neutral with engine running, vehicle stopped. Then shift to 4wd low . Wait for light in dash indicating low range. Drive straight forward about 5-6 feet. Stop. Shift back to neutral, while still...

    DIY Explorer 302 Headers

    Old school tuning shot for a target 1050 EGT. I assume it's close to that.

    DIY Explorer 302 Headers

    Um, powdercoat nor ceramic will hold up on the egr tube. Edit. Going from experience . Even exhaust tips will eventually get too hot for high temp powder. Both will flake if not turn to ash. It will see 1000+ degrees. I'd leave as is if you cannot get it plated.

    1997 MM 5.0 TC & WP refresh & ignition system conversion Wiring progressing

    Camshaft Synchronizer alignment tool

    No such thing as a tool which fits 1996-2001. There are at least 4 different for that year range My 2000 used the black one for instance.

    Project Vulture

    Which can be customized as you want, before paint. Customizing a pre made bumper means stripping powdercoat to get as good finish.

    question about GT-40P 1.7 rockers and valve covers

    So, bringing back memories for me. I taped the valve covers to engine, then cranked it over. ( Disable spark and fuel) If the tape pulls, there's an issue. It could be small enough a shave to the outer rockers cures it. Or, silicone glue 2 silicone valve cover gaskets, make a sammich gasket.

    How to: 2nd gen console removal

    Also, check the metal tabs at rear floor of console. 2 tabs lock into channels in the floor. A thin screwdriver will get in there to push them down. Have d to see them though. It'll help unlock the console, less whacks with hammer

    Pulling spark plugs on bank 2 , keep them in order, will tell which injector is stuck open. I'd suspect the new one .
