well, i was trying to sell my '91 sport, but upon returning from vacation i found the back roof smashed from a fallen tree (thank god it missed my girlfriend's new mustang). the hatch, rear roof and driver's rear glass are smashed up pretty good. unfortunately, i only have liability insurance...

new motorcraft thermostat, heats up and sticks right around the N on stock gague

no pinging. how do i check the o2 sensors? im not throwing any code

my 91 auto with 160,000 mi, 3.73 gears and 30's has been progressively losing power and fuel economy. i got 17 mpg highway when i first bought it with 150,000 on the clock, and it pulled ok going uphill. now i'm struggling to keep it at 75mph going up short, unsteep hills and i'm averaging...

dibs on the motor!!

over the past two days i've noticed a slight clunk/thump that sounds to be coming from the pass. side front wheel area. it seems to occur with every rotation of the wheel , but only at low speeds, especially when applying the brakes or cornering. at speeds of 10mph+ it either goes away or is...

i have 3.73 gears and am running 30"s. how bad will it kill my acceleration and mileage if i go to 31's? the engine is a little tired already with 175,000mi. also, with my war153 1-2" lift shackles in the rear how bad will 31's rub?

Thanks. i did try his test before and had no change in idle, no major oil or coolant loss, and my plugs are clean. guess my gaskets are ok for now

I know the 4liter has problems with leaking intake gaskets, but how can you determine if they are leaking? I have close to 160,000 mi. Is this an inevitable problem?

what marker is everyone meeting at Pismo? I have to work in LA on sunday but ill try and make it up to Pismo on friday. where is everyone camping?

'91 sport 165,000 original engine & trans, small oil leaks, lifter noise in the morning

Yeah, i think i'm gonna start lookn for that c6 at the wrecking yard. thanks for the info!

I am getting the parts together to do an sas and v8 swap on my '91 sport. i have a rebuilt mustang C4 that i want to use, but i don't know what t-case will fit, or if i can even bolt a t-case on it since it came from a 2wd vehicle. any info?

many late 80-early 90 ford diesel trucks came with dual batteries. you can find the dual battery solenoids in a pick your part or from the dealer. its just as easy to wire as a painless system

true, it isn't too extremely difficult to do, but a suspension lift beats a body lift any day of the week. you can clear 32"s on a 4" susp lift without the ugly body-frame offset and increased body roll on the road. save a couple hundred more $$ and go with a decent suspension lift. if you...

Thanks for the info, though i don't understand the concern for air quality. If it is only a weekend warrior and not a daily driver i'm not too worried about pollution. Hell, my F-250 diesel and 68 ranchero 390 are catless from the factory and i'm sure they pollute 10x as much as a catless 4.0...

Anyone from CA running with no Cats or hollowed out Cats? I was wondering if i will be able to pass emmissions without them. My 4 banger ranger passed with a hollowed Cat but i want to make sure the 4.0 will pass before i start cutting everything up. if not, where can i find an inexpensive...

how about performance? does anyone make a 3 core? what are the v8 conversion guys running?

Anyone know where i can get the best radiator for my $$? Its a 91 sport auto. Autozone has one for $199.99 +tax oem replacement but id like to upgrade to higher quality if it won't cost too much more.

My dad and i welded a broken shock mount on his '68 land rover on the trail. he has a dual batt setup and borrowed a third battery from another guy who was wheelin with our group. its been over 4 years since and the weld hasn't broken.

thanks for all the info! i have not yet changed the tstat but its on the list. i also have a trans temp gague and an xtra stock trans cooler that i was gonna add next to the original one for added cooling. if anyone here needs autometer gagues call up Fast Lane West Racing Products. ive been...

thanks for all the info. i did mix the coolant 50/50, still haven't got a chance to wrench on anything. how difficult is the tstat and fan clutch change? also, it is equipt with the stock trans cooler and i have an xtra one that i was gonna add next to the stock one. is this a waste of time...

haven't done that yet but i plan to, even though it doesnt heat up during normal on road driving, even when climbing big hills on the highway. thanks for the info though. Anyone else share my problem?

i was told by a ford mechanic that the oil stop leak is only a temp fix and could cause blockage in oil passages that are already clogged on higher milage vehicles. he said between 350-500 for him to fix it in my 91 automatic (trucks not even worth that much), but told me not to waste my money...

Vehicle specs: 91 explorer sport auto 3.73 gears 2" susp lift 30" tires 150,000mi I took my explorer onto the sand dunes last weekend and after about 20 min or so the temp started to climb (Outside temp was about 65f). It got up almost past the A on the stock temp gauge and i stopped. After...
