    SAS Mountaineer undrivable

    Steering shaft is all brand new flaming river joints. No binding or play of any kind when steering it without the engine running. I have had the toe from 1/2" toe out to 1/2" toe in with no change in driving. I came from +3 caster to -3 caster with absolutely no change in driving...

    SAS Mountaineer undrivable

    Bumpsteer is an issue but its not the main issue. By bump steer I mean, when I hit a bump, like a railroad track, the steering wheel is pulled to one side fairly aggressively. The main issue is the truck darts around. How bad it darts is dependent on the road, on flat 4 lane roads it isnt...

    SAS Mountaineer undrivable

    Well, I dumped another $1k into it and it didnt change anything. I bought a Reid high steer knuckle so my draglink is now straight. I also replaced the steering box with a new one, just in case. Still drives terrible. I pulled the whole front axle down, cut off the steering yokes and welded...

    SAS Mountaineer undrivable

    The caster was +2 degrees. I put a 5degree wedge in it which should have put it close to where it needs to be for testing. Unfortunately I dont have flat top knuckles. I have maxed out my budget for this truck, but its useless right now. I have been trying to find some cheap options for flat...

    SAS Mountaineer undrivable

    I completed my sas and soa setup on my 00 mountaineer. Front axle is a wagoneer Dana 44 with new wagoneer leafs up front. Steering is handled by a Toyota steering box mounted outside the frame. The first test drive was extremely disappointing. The truck drove terrible and the bump steer was...

    '97 v8 into '99 XLS with 4406!

    It was a summit branded 1 5/8" kit. I would not even attempt making these if I didnt have a body lift! Drivers side is close to the steering shaft, maybe 1/4" there. I do still have a/c, with the body lift, there is plenty of room below the "HVAC" box. Here is the exhaust I made over the...

    '97 v8 into '99 XLS with 4406!

    Started this project last October, when I started to realize the major things that changed between '98 and '99, I stopped the project and just drove the XLS around with the OHV until the transfer case went out 3 weeks ago. The transmission had some issues as well when i bought it, so I was at a...

    Any info on swapping pre 98 5.0L into 99 Explorer

    I cant find any info on this. I'm sure someone has done it. I already have the 97 5.0L explorer and the 99 OHV explorer that I want to put the motor in. The fuel system is different, but thats an easy fix. Not having PATS on the ECU should be helpful, but the harness is different. Should be...
