    factory posi?

    I swapped a 2000 Ex rear end into my 92, I did NOT change my master cylinder and have not had any problems. I have noticed a major improvement over my drum brake rear end. No problems at all with the 92 master cylinder, I was kind of shocked. I still don't have a parking brake, but I haven't...

    Slow Motion Project 92

    Thanks, I scored that brush guard for $50!!! As far as gears, yes they are matching, this Ex stared life as a 2wd (still technically is because I haven't changed the tranny yet), the 3.73 front axle was swapped in awhile back.

    Slow Motion Project 92

    Wow, it has been a long time since I have updated this thread. Well, not alot of progress has been made, but some is better than none. I found a brush guard on craigslist and installed it and I found bought a set of tires and wheels from my son and put them on this morning. Steel wheels and...

    Slow Motion Project 92

    Going to PAP tomorrow to pull the transmission from the totaled 93 Ex if it's still there. What tools should I take? I have limited tools so I will need to pick a few things up on my way. Assortment of wrenches, sockets, long extension? I know I need a 12 point 10 mm for the drive shaft...

    Slow Motion Project 92

    HA, that red ranger is the one that my 4wd axle come out of. I have dealt with him a couple of times. I am on a list for him to call me if he comes across a brush guard. I really like the brush guard you linked too, I have seen that add also, I was hoping to find one a little cheaper, but I...

    Slow Motion Project 92

    I'm pretty sure that is the same one, front left wheel is broken too. Hopefully I can get that transmission before its gone. While I have your attention, do you have an extra brush guard or know where I can find one?

    Slow Motion Project 92

    Well, intake gaskets have been replaced and after a few days of hunting down a connection problem, all is well and should be back on track to completing the 4wd conversion project. If I get the chance to go to the JY this weekend I will go get my transmission. I hope to have this all done in...

    (Fixed) 92 Explorer 122 Trouble code (this guy got super lucky)

    FIXED......I was about to pull what hair I have left out when I decided to disconnect the engine harness under the alternator to help me eliminate grounds/shorts. The plug was pretty dirty so I cleaned it up with my carb/choke cleaner and kept looking for shorts. I connected everything back...

    (Fixed) 92 Explorer 122 Trouble code (this guy got super lucky)

    Ok, that helps. I was at my dads today and I didn't have my multimeter, all I had was a test light. I hooked the test light to the positive side of the battery and I touched the probe to all three wires in the connection and one of them lite the test light bright, one of them nothing and one...

    (Fixed) 92 Explorer 122 Trouble code (this guy got super lucky)

    Only one of three wires should be a ground correct?

    (Fixed) 92 Explorer 122 Trouble code (this guy got super lucky)

    I replaced the TPS and still no luck. When you make the repair and crank for this first time, it is the longest 4 or 5 seconds of your life and then the big, bad, ugly CEL comes on again. I have an idea that I have a short somewhere in the wiring harness that wraps around the engine 15 times...

    (Fixed) 92 Explorer 122 Trouble code (this guy got super lucky)

    no, only 3 wires. I read this thread for a bronco and my wire colors match these colors in this thread. http://autoforums.carjunky.com/Automotive_Repair_C1/Engine_Fault_Codes_F29/ford_code_122_repair_P57992/ these are the instructions I followed from this thread "Unplug the sensor with...

    (Fixed) 92 Explorer 122 Trouble code (this guy got super lucky)

    I did check the voltage going thru the sensor, I put paper clips in the back side of the plug while it was plugged in. There are three color wires, gray with red stripe, gray with white stripe and I cant remember the third color, brown or black i believe. the two outside wire gave me 5v, the...

    (Fixed) 92 Explorer 122 Trouble code (this guy got super lucky)

    This weekend I replaced all the intake gaskets and the valve cover gaskets. When I put everything back together I had a CEL. I noticed that I am also down on power. I ran the codes and I am getting a 122 and a 998. I have used my multimeter and checked the current going thru the TPS and I...

    5spdman's slow and cheap XLT build

    Off topic for a moment. I just noticed in your "Ride List" you have a 92 Escort. I use to have a 94 Escort Wagon 5 speed car that was a blast to drive. It was pretty peppy (or so I thought) and fun to drive, I was always looking for a GT motor to put in it at the salvage yard but never came...

    Slow Motion Project 92

    As I said before, I have a water leak on the intake gasket on the passenger side head. I spent a couple hours pulling the intake off so I can replace all the gaskets. Total bummer because it cost me $87 for the gaskets, $13 for the antifreeze, $23 for the oil and filter, $30 for a new water...

    Slow Motion Project 92

    Minor set back on the Ex coming this weekend. I noticed a water leak this morning and thought maybe the water pump went bad. I pressure tested and noticed it pissing water out of the intake gasket on the front of the passenger side head. So instead of going for the transmission this weekend...

    Slow Motion Project 92

    Thread stealing my own thread here, but this was this past weekends project. We took the wrinkled front end of my son's 90 Ranger, core support and all and fixed it up with Sort-A-fit and bone yard parts. before (my son, he insisted on giving the thumbs up) during (53? Studebaker SBC...

    The product of my mind 7.3 psd 1st gen

    Beware, this is a costly project. A friend of mine had a 4BT installed in a 05 Rubicon and a few other mods and it cost him 23K. Granted, he didn't do it himself.

    Slow Motion Project 92

    Cool Bruce, hope to see you around sometime. I was at Pull A Part this morning searching for parts for my son's 90 Ranger and I came across a 93 EB 4x4 with major front end damage. My thought is that it was running until it rear ended something so I am going to go for the tranny in the next...

    I'm new to 4wd, and dont even have a complete one yet. What is the purpose of the sway bar disconnects?

    Slow Motion Project 92

    Picked up my manual 1354 today for $150. It came off a Ranger from up north I assume because the frame was rusted in half. It's gonna need to be cleaned up, but it does turn freely. The owner of salvage yard I purchased this transfer case at said in all of years of dealing with Ranger parts...
