I forgot to ask what would make the instrument cluster lights go out when the headlamps and tail lamps are on? The bulbs in the cluster are good and the switch to dim the lights are on the brightest setting. This is an intermittent problem and annoying at one time i can see the fuel level...

I was just wondering if there were any boxed in rear control arms like the mustangs do? Also i did notice that when the a/c is on max setting on the control panel the a/c intermittently will stop working but when set to normal a/c it seems to be normal operation Also i have noticed that when i...

Thanks for the info. I was also curious which truck you used for this conversion. I really found you aerostar very cool and not to mention very clean both inside and even in the engine bay. I thought the wiring was very clean and neat, not like the aerostar cargo van in which you could see...

Thanks i be eager for replies im ready to tackle this but all information would be great before i perform this task if you know what i mean. Thanks Brian

I have a stupid question to ask. Ive been trying to find a way to get a hold of him but i have had no such luck. Do yall know how i can pm or send an email to either him or someone else that knows the conversion project? Ive been told that the only stupid questions are the one not asked, but i...

engine bay dimensions Is there a way i can get a hold of perry so i can shoot him an email to maybe ask him some questions about the conversion, length of time, etc.

I havent done any measuring, but i was wondering what the engine dimensions are between the aeros, explorer, and ranger and wondering what what 5.0 should i use? Would the mustang 5.0 or the explorer 5.0 be my best options and will i have to go to a stand alone system for the obd. I wasnt sure...

I was curious if there is or was kind of a step by step instruction or any form of details for performing this task. I do know i need the engine and trans. I have been reasearching even typed in v8 aerostar. All i come up with is the blue 86 thats been done, but im trying to get ideas on what...

I had a question about my exhaust system. On my 95 aerostar 3.0 v6, i noticed rust on the pipe after catalyst 2 on the y pipe, the mount between catalyst 2 and muffler is broke around the flex pipe and the pipe after the muffler. In my opinion i need a whole new exhaust system and my plan is...

3.0 vulcan intake manifold The thought of switching the intake manifold on my 95 was because of the air flow being smoother and I was told that you could put a 3.0 liter escape throttle body to help increase the performance of the vulcan. I didn't know if it was true but any ideas would be...

Other questions I had were 1) do they make upgraded aftermarket suspensions for the aerostar(i.e rear control arms both upper and lower) and front suspension parts(i.e front control arms both upper and lower)? The reason I ask is more for towing purposes and I think that the weak control arms in...

I was curious about how I can get the EEC 5 engine to correlate to the EEC 4 drivetrain, abs, etc. to talk to each other. I'm trying to get all information before attempting this project. The van runs good now, but I'm thinking future plans. I do want this van to pull a camper, but I didn't...

Eventually I plan on taking a tape of my engine of the taurus and the bay of the van just for the hell of it to see what has to be done. I was thinking of v8 but that requires at least cutting the trans tunnel or more that why the other option would possibly putting a duratec in it. I do plan...

I was wondering how I could get the EEC 5 electronics to an EEC 4 system if you get what I mean. My 95 still has eec4 but just thinking of the gain seems tempting doesn't it, but I'm waiting until something happens to my vulcan(god forbid). We do have an 01 taurus duratec and it scoots pretty...

I know this is a strange question ,but what the hell. I was wondering how a duratec v6 would fit in my van. Yes I know it's a fwd engine but I was thinking 200 horses or possibly more but I'm not sure exact specs. I was thinking that they're both 60 degree v6's but it's an idea to throw at...

I was just curious, would a newer 3.0 intake manifold off a ranger work on my 3.0? It has the one piece(throttle body/upper intake)assembly, and while I have the intake off to change my v/c gaskets, I was thinking of putting a 2 piece (upper intake and throttle body) on it. I was just wondering...

I was wondering about something, just an idea( maybe stupid) but here it goes. Is there a way I could use a newer style 3.0 intake manifold on my 3.0? I have to do valve cover gaskets and I was told that I had to remove my intake to do so, would a newer ranger upper intake work to help smooth...

I know "Cheapskate"lol

I will look further into it and see about the vent door. Thanks for the advice. And out of curiousity, has anyone fabricated a rear sway bar for the rear axle instead of having to spend $150 or more for a kit. I'm on a tight budget and I didn't know if someone has attempted to install a rear...

Thanks for the info. By the way I did get the blower motor changed. The motor works good but it seems like it still has little air flow through the ducts. I check the temperature control cable and it seems to move freely. I moved my hands to the valve that operates the door and the valve...

I was just curious about a couple things that might be answered that I'm not sure about. 1) I was wondering about converting my aerostar from a 3.0 to a 4.0 for more towing capability and maybe more power, if this conversion takes place besides the pcm and engine harness needed, will the engine...

7.5 to 8.8 conversion Thanks for the advice about the rear axle. I do have another possibly stupid question. I am getting ready to fix my wiring for my blower motor resistor, but my question is what other blower motor will work in the ford aerostars since I have very little air flow when it...

It's because of the fact that I heard that 7.5 rear axles are junk and the van has 150000 miles on it. The body is in good shape with some rust but not much. My plan in the later future is to use the van for recreational use instead of daily use especially being able to tow a pop up or a small...

The concern doesn't have to do with the axle shafts, my concern has to deal with the housing. Is that going to be aerostar only or will an explorer or ranger housing work? That is the part I'm very confused about. I'm wanting to put an 8.8 rear end instead of the 7.5 that's in there now, just...

My plan is to switch my 7.5 rear axle to an 8.8 in my 95 aerostar. My question is would I be able to use an explorer or ranger rear axle since they are common or is the aerostar rear axle specifically aerostar only? I have on the internet researching this but I can't find any information. I was...
