    BW 4406 stuck in low

    Anyone? Has anyone heard of this problem? Where it stays in low no matter what position the shifter is in? Its not that the shifter is stuck. I am able to shift, but I am in low gear regardless of the shifter position. 2WD is low, N is low, 4H is low and 4L is low

    BW 4406 stuck in low

    Hi guys, i just made a post about converting over to 2wd to get my explorer going. The problem i have is my transfer case (4406) is stuck in low gear no matter where the shifter is. I have been driving around for over a year in 2wd mode with just a rear driveshaft, and everything was fine...

    awd/4wd to 2wd?

    Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows if It is possible to convert a 97 5.0 AWD explorer into 2wd, using a tailshaft from a 2wd transmission and driveshaft? Around 1.5 years ago, i did the manual BW 4406 case swap after my awd case went bad. Well, the other day i was on the highway...

    5.0L Explorer water pump (broke stud)

    good opinion! Thanks for the reply man, i really appreciate. If someone finds this post in the future, even though I fouled up on the first stud, the second and third I got out with no problem by tapping the stud a bunch of times with a hammer. I also turned it both ways with my ratchet to...

    5.0L Explorer water pump (broke stud)

    something I forget to ask, I'm approaching 185k miles on the truck. Since i'll more than likely be taking it apart again, is it worth changing the timing chain as well? The engine still runs very strong, and its been pretty well maintained. Do the chains generally fail after a certain time?

    5.0L Explorer water pump (broke stud)

    Hi guys, After figuring out that my water pump water pump was trashed (pully shaft bearings), I decided to replace the pump, thermostat, and serpentine belt. Everything was going well, until I broke a stud, but still protruding at least 1-2 inches out of the timing chain cover. Well, rather...
