    Hello from Connecticut 2005 Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition

    Welcome to the forum. Along with the community here, a factory service manual and an OBD-II scanner will be indispensable in battling gremlins. Fight the good fight, brother :D

    Been around, never introduced myself.

    Hey folks. I created a thread in the transmission forum, but never properly introduced myself. I'm an electrical engineer by day, and a Ford tinkerer by night. Last November, I ran across this majorly clapped out 1993 Explorer Sport 4x4 on Craigslist listed for $1000. $400 later, it was mine :D...

    M5OD Pocket Bearing and Output Shaft Damage

    Update on progress I decided to take everyone's advice and replace the main shaft. I bought a rebuild kit with synchros, and a needle bearing kit. I'm currently assembling the rear housing. Stay tuned.

    M5OD Pocket Bearing and Output Shaft Damage

    Thanks for the insights, guys. I initially bought this Explorer to flip, but I sorta like it :D After replacing the camshaft position sensor and the DPFE sensor, it runs great. It came with manual hubs, manual BW1354, M5OD, and the 4.0. Perfect setup for a weekend warrior. I think I'll keep...

    M5OD Pocket Bearing and Output Shaft Damage

    Hey guys! I'm new to this forum, but I've been a member of the Ranger Station for a bit. I scored this '93 Sport for $400. The transmission was noisy in all gears except 4th, so I suspected a bad pocket bearing. I pulled the transmission, and this is what i found: Clearly, the...
