Is there a good write up on this? I can find them for the 4.0 but not the 5.0. Also since I have never dealt with an automatic transmission before when I drop that what is the procedure? Is it like a manual will the torque converter be on the back of the motor or stay with the trans? This is...

Just like the title says I found this hanging off the back of the motor. Any ideas?

Tried to "flip" their rear spring back to front? I have read that these leaf springs have the center bolt two inches forward. If you were able to swing them the other way your rear axle would be 2" back which could help fit a slightly bigger tire without as much trimming up front by the door...

Anyone around here? Just picked up a 98 mountaineer. Been going through it fixing all the little junk. Eventually would like to start wheeling but still a bit away from that yet.

Anyone have any luck finding these? Junkyard only parts? I got one on the drivers side rear passenger door that just cannot be jiggled the right way to get it to work. I have lubed it up real good but it's still being stubborn. I have got it open twice now but now it's stuck again. There...

Cut off the inner fenders of their ex for a motor swap? Or even just cut them out and put in something else later when done?

Rough Idle Questions (Now with Video) Okay all, I will post a video Tuesday of what this thing is doing. For now I will try to describe it. I have a 1995 4.0 OHV with 187k miles on it. Here is what has been done. Spark Plugs/Wires Fuel Filter Air Filter EGR Valve Upper and Lower Manifold...

Here is my build up. Right now in no particular order. However that will change once I get things organized a bit.

Well anyone got any? Stared at it for a while and could not get my hand/arm to squeeze in there the right way to get a wrench or socket up in there. I am thinking I might have to remove the suspension bracket there in the way but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. Searched many times and...

Hey all KS folks. Is there anyone around the Wichita area that could help out my daughter. She is staying at my folks's house and has run into a rough running problem with her '95 Ford Explorer. I replaced the o2 sensors before she lft but was not able to do any more. If anyone has a ODBI...

This Explorer when I bought it had the rot in front of the rear wheels like most others. It was covered up with some aluminum sheeting and riveted in. I couldn't stand seeing the big rust spot there so I took it all out. Eventually this whole side with get a boat sided effect done to it but...

I am not sure which transfercase it is yet, I have not found the markings on it. However the motor seems to have a 5.8L and the tranny seems to be a C6. It's all going to need to get in the Explorer. It all came out of a 1993 F250. I am missing the upper intake, I need to see if I missed it...

Just rolled over 300 on the '99 F250 7.3.

What do people do in their cars?!!?

Here is something I put together this afternoon. The one in the back is so my boy has something to hold onto when we are going over the big stuff. The one on the door is just a replacement handle to keep from loosing the door when your on a hill. Just used the pictured washers and some rope...

Hey all I have a 03 Lincoln Aviator, same idea as the Explorer/Mountaineer. Anyways are the Ex/MT transmissions sealed at the factory without a dipstick? That is how it is on the Lincoln and I would like to find a way to fix this problem. I don't like it... LOL Thanks!

Don't know how well you can see it but I have shoved the nylon deal in as far as I can. Someone before me tried to do it as well and it's pretty ragged/messed up. Any Hints would be good.

The question is, what all can I remove? I plan on running a HDD44 (Which isn't that HD) with some 36-37" tires. I want to remove as much stuff from the front end that I can. Even the back. Here is the kicker, I am not ready to remove the interior panels yet... LOL What should I pull off...

I parked my truck in my garage over a year ago. I parked it in the garage knowing that my front D35 balljoints and maybe even the wheel bearings were shot once again. Well why bother with replacing the wheel bearings AGAIN, with something that just doesn't work. So I ditched both the axles...

Okay those with any of the above on a SA Explorer post up the pics. Specifically the 4-Link and the 3-Links. I am looking for ideas... ;)

Okay I am taking the Explorer over to a buddies monday morning and we are going to check out the whole rear end to make sure that my dragging drivers side rear brake is really the brake dragging. Make sense??? Well I have replaced the caliper, rotor, pads and it still is dragging. In my...

Do you have one? Cool... :) What front springs are you running? Do you like them? Why? What size and where did they originally come from? I am collecting some info here, I have searched but I want a single thread I can look at

My 97 has been having this terrible grinding racket whenever going from a stop and turning. I was going to go down to Heath's place to try out a new driveshaft, but between bad weather and a funeral last week I haven't made it down there. Anyways I have checked the brakes a number of times and...

Okay which one should I get? They range from 160 all the way up to 195 degrees. This is going in a 2wd DD I-6 300cid truck. Then one I got in there now seems to be stuck closed as of this morning. :mad: So any ideas would be good. :) I will be getting this soon! :)

Hey all, any ideas on how to get those stupid little bolts from the front diff off? The ones that connect the drive shaft to the front diff? I need to get these off and I just land up slipping on them or if I try to use the Torx pattern I can't get enough leverage and I slip. I don't want to...
