    Complete OEM SOHC tensioner & Guide rebuild kit

    Hi all. I rather stupidly trusted a UK member who begged me to order all of the OE cam guide parts necessary to rebuild his 2000 4.0 Sohc explorer since most of it is obsolete now. I work for a Ford dealer, so I get a decent discount. Usually our parts dept has a strict "pay up front" policy...

    20th Anniversary All Ford Nationals, Jun 4-6 Carlisle, PA

    In 2001, Explorer representation started at the All Ford Nats with a few goofy EF friends and three mildly modified SUVs. Seeing as to how this year is the 20th anniversary, I got the itch to celebrate one more time. The show starts on Friday June 4th and runs 'til Sunday June 6th, rain or...

    Flat tpms to stem conversion?

    Anyone ever have luck swapping the early model 315mz flat/ banded tire pressure sensor style to a valve stem style? Picked up some 20" Fooses for my 2007 Limited that came with valve stem sensors for a 2011... surprise surprise, they won't program (I work for a Ford dealer, I tried our factory...

    Rebuilt 2wd 4r70w & RideTech parallel 4 link

    Hi all, As many of you know, I've had to give up my race truck project. Jack's engine and supercharger are gone, so that leaves these two. The transmission price I'm flexible on, the four link, not so much. If you look on CL you'll see them both listed for more than I'm asking here: That's...

    2wd 4r70w, Holley Systemax intakes, fuel rails, 90mm maf, parallel 4 link kit

    I'm parting with Blackjack's performance accessories, because my life is just SO AWESOME /sarcasm. Pardon the lack of some pictures; my brother quit his job and has yet to get another, so no $$= no internet= mooching Wi-Fi from Wegman's parking lot. That said, yes I am hurting for money, but I'm...

    Ford Racing Powerdyne supercharger & kit (complete)

    Soooo, I'm told I apparently have one of the last (if not THE last) complete Ford Racing second gen charger kits in the country. It has everything in it for a factory install, including detailed directions and OEM fittings and lines. The only difference is that I opted for the larger BD11...

    For Sale CHP 347 long block

    Oh boy, look! It's the post I hoped I'd never have to do! /sarcasm/ Seriously, though, I figured I'd give my fellow EF'ers first crack before I put this up on the Mustang forums and Craigslist. Have some respect when posting, please... I'm already torn up about this, I really don't need any...

    All Ford Nationals @ Carlisle, PA, Jun 5-7, 2015

    '05 Trac leaking water from driver front?

    I seem to have purchased a very odd Sport Trac... Opened my driver door after two days of rain and had a river run out from my door sill :fire: Traced the leak origin to someplace under the dash (roughly straight back from the top of the dash fuse box to give you an idea of location). It's been...

    North East PA run, Sept. 5-6?

    Just testing the water to see if anyone is interested in having an off road run on Labor Day weekend up in our neck of the woods. I'm thinking Sunday Sept.5, Monday Sept.6? There are all kinds of trails in Luzerne county, from mild stocker roads with great mountain views to hardcore stuff...

    Atn: All suspension gurus..

    So, I'm not having much luck with figuring out the best link set-up for Blackjack and I thought I'd throw this thread out for argument's sake (Not having much luck meaning: set up that causes the least amount of headaches and doesn't destroy my wallet). I've seen these two set ups many times...

    Maryland summer meet n greet?

    It's about time we had another hang-out session :) The last time we went to Annie's in Glen Burnie, but Blee keeps teasing me with the idea of sushi so I was wondering if anyone knows of a Chinese Buffet in or around Glen Burnie? Even Sakura's would work I suppose. Anyway, it's just an idea...

    M&G time! May 23, '09

    Just like the title says, folks. I picked the 23rd because I'm hoping I can get Iz and Jake together to talk fabrication with a friend of mine, since he's only free on Saturday nights :/ Plus I've told him about my amazing and looney Exploder buddies who have such great ideas when we sit and...

    Swapping an SOHC into a 5spd OHV 2nd gen?

    Mods, move this to the proper area if it's not already in it, pleez :) Just like the heading says. Matt (Das Frem) and I have been avidly discussing how to save our ailing Sports. We both want to keep our M5oD's, but make our trucks more powerful and faster without doing a v8 swap. Matt spun...

    New year's 2009?

    Well damn it all... New Year's falls on a Thursday this year :( Every year for the last 7 I've tried to spend with my fellow Exploder owners, but I don't see a middle-of-the-week run being very feasible. But I still want to see your smiling, sometimes psycho faces to start my year off right, so...
