    Serpentine Chirping

    I drove home from college for thanksgiving break 7 hours and my 98 5.0 X did totally fine, but the next day when I started it it had a chirp coming from somewhere on the belt. In June I replaced one idler pulley that had gone bad and the serpentine belt while I was at it, this week I then...

    Locker Recommendations

    I'm planning on installing some kind of locker into my 98 x and was hoping to get some recommendations. I'm trying to keep this on the cheaper side, so my main options right now are a limited slip or a lunchbox style. This is my daily driver and is driven on 7 hour trips from college to home...

    2nd Gen Front Diff Swap

    2nd Gen Front Diff Swap

    Im not worried about tire size, I want a stronger front diff with locker options. Im a college student studying industrial design and metalwork, so I will be making a custom lift similar to the superlift this winter. It just seems like a logical time to upgrade the diff if I will be making drop...

    2nd Gen Front Diff Swap

    Ok so I'm new to the forum, although I have been lurking since I bought my X last summer. I want to upgrade the front diff in my 98 5.0, which currently has a TT AAL and shackles with 265/75/16 Falken Wildpeak AT's. My plan is to take the 8.8" IFS out of an expedition or f150 of the sameish...
