Thanks for the info. I just finished doing this on my '97 (without removing the compressor or opening the system). The trouble I had was getting the coil completely seated without the bolt stripping/breaking. I was able to get it pressed on within about 3/16" of where it was supposed to go...

I had the same question - Here's what I did Here's what I did: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3337990&postcount=5

Sorry for the six-years-late reply.... :-) I was searching for this topic as I too have the same billet grill on a '97 Sport that I purchased last year. I wanted to add a few pics to show anyone that runs into this issue just another variation of what can be done. Here are a few picks of the...

Really appreciate everyone's info and advice here. I finally got this thing running and can also attest to the fact that the absence of this tube does not seem to make any difference at all. Although, when I first started it, the CEL was on and it wouldn't idle worth a darn and kept dying...

Hi Folks, Am almost finished with the '97 SOHC repair and have yet another question for you. On the underside of the upper intake manifold, there's a black plastic tube that's tie-wrapped to the intake and connects to a oddly shaped tee (likely unavailable or really pricey to replace). Does...

As usual, it's not until after you have already installed something that you find a diagram/pictorial reference: lol

Thanks MayJan. There didn't seem to be quite enough room there but I mounted it close by. Appreciate the info. :-) --mike

Hi Folks, Am trying to finish up the '97 Explorer repairs and can't recall what the heck this vac-reservoir connects to or where it mounts. I took about a gazillion pics as I was disassembling all of this stuff but apparently I still didn't document quite enough. Does anyone here recognize...

That's what I was hoping. Thanks! --mike

Hi, Do camshafts have to be replaced in "pairs" on this motor, or is an aftermarket camshaft (Melling) compatible with an OEM cam on the opposite side? I really don't wan't to buy yet another expensive part if I can avoid it, but I also don't want to cause an imbalance and horrible...

just a bump before I forge ahead ;-)

Does anyone recognize this 4.0 SOHC part? Hi, I have 4.0 SOHC question for those experienced with the internals of this motor. Mine's a 97 and I'm about 50% complete with a repair/partial-rebuild and find myself in a situation where I have what might be a "leftover" part. It's a...

Got em'. Thanks! Thanks kevinspann ! Base part number was correct. :) Full part number is F77Z-6734-AB. Thanks again! --mike

Hi all, You folks continue to provide a goldmine of information and I'm thankful to everyone here. Am hoping someone can again point me to a needed part number for some "Bolt Seals/Washers" used on two of the "ladder frame" mounting bolts on a 4.0 SOHC ""E" motor. I've searched many...

Fel-Pro OS30687R - Compatible with 97 SOHC Pan? Hi, I have a 97 4.0 SOHC and the oil pan (97 JM-6675-BC R9NRA) has a built-in rubber-bead gasket/seal bonded to the pan rail. I didn't realize this before purchasing a Fel-Pro pan gasket # OS 30687 R. The rubber on the existing pan seems too...

Got it - Thanks! Thanks again. Really appreciate the help! :-)

Hi All, I'm in the midst of a 97 4.0 SOHC partial rebuild and would love to get a copy of these docs. I have one of the few 2WD 4.0 SOHC that *has* a balance shaft. It had the death-rattle and also developed an internal leak (cracked head) and I've got it all apart for repairs and am...

Hi, I can't answer your question, but your symptom is making me wonder if its the same thing that's causing my 97 clutch to disengage after 30-40 minutes. Watching your thread with great interest. Hope you find out soon. Good luck! --mike

Hi again, Am chasing a frustrating problem on a 97 4.0 SOHC 2WD explorer. (manual, *not* climate-control version). Bought it used with 161K miles and a blown trans. After fixing the trans, I had several A/C-related items to address, and thanks to the wealth of info from the many folks on...

Mikey likes it!! Works great :) Just finished putting in one of Donny's valve bodies from Central Valve Bodies and I am definitely a happy camper today. As Phil would say, NOW we're cookin' with peanut oil! :D Much much better. No delays, no slips, no flares and all gears work. And...

"Valve body time" ... here goes..... Donny's valve body arrived earlier in the week; ... time for round #2. I'll let y'all know how it goes.... :) --mike

Hi, Thanks. That's the first place I looked but they're out of stock. Any alternates? (https://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=230-00023256K) --mike

Where can you find the viton D-rings these days? Hi, I know I'm replying to a >1yr-old post, but I'm having zero luck finding them for my 5R55E. No one seems to have them in stock any more. Has anyone been able to locate the Viton D-rings for a 5R55E reverse/low servo recently...
