    Chance to buy 100% rust free southern '98 Explorer 168k 4.0 rwd: Advice?

    My comment I started to make about the mustang guys is, some of them run 12 lbs boost on stock engines and they hold up pretty well.

    Chance to buy 100% rust free southern '98 Explorer 168k 4.0 rwd: Advice?

    The Super Hawk is an R1, 63. Not sure about the Avanti. He sold new old stock parts from a shop behind his house for about 40 years. He told me the stories about both cars but it's been so long I don't remember all the details.

    Chance to buy 100% rust free southern '98 Explorer 168k 4.0 rwd: Advice?

    If it runs and drives, only needing basic fluid changes and maybe some tires to make it road worthy, it's a good deal

    Cranks no start due to no spark...code reader not communicating with vehicle

    Check for the check engine light to illuminate. If it doesn't, the crankshaft position sensor is the most likely cause, if the bulb on the dash works. The edis module is separate from the ecm, the wiring for the module goes under the battery tray and can rub through in that spot.

    4.0 OHV Makum White Puffy Cloud

    I read a thread that someone recommended Remflex exhaust gaskets for hard to seal exhaust manifolds. I don't remember which member or I'd give them credit.

    Are you 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive?

    4.0 OHV Makum White Puffy Cloud

    Much easier than a drill turning the oil pump trick. I'm just as anxious to hear this project come to completion.

    93 Explorer TDI Swap

    Looking good. I'm stalled on my project until I can get parts and someone to go through the engine. I'm excited to see your explorer rolling down the road with the new engine.

    Interesting find. 1994 Explorer Sport

    That would be more impressive than the vaporware he is claiming to have possessed at one point. $2,500 doesn't normally last that many years in Vegas.

    4.0 OHV Makum White Puffy Cloud

    You can build the tank from parts for less than that. I used an air tank from a semi truck I got at a junk yard

    4.0 OHV Makum White Puffy Cloud

    When I rebuilt the engine in my ranger, I used a tank pressurized by an air compressor that the engine oil was in. I used a hose connected where the oil pressure switch goes. I had 60 psi oil pressure on initial startup.

    I'm looking for a possible donor. I've got a 97 motor that has been sitting a long time. Might not be as good as I hope.

    No power to inertia switch on 01 ST

    A non runner purchase is good information. There is a good possibility the fuel pump is getting weak.
