So depressed :( I was so looking forward to making it to the East Coast and finally meeting a bunch of our old members... The closer it gets, the worst it is.

I want more than a couple pumps worth of brakes and that's all the reservoir will give. The system holds vacuum no problem.

That pump is meant to augment the engine vacuum, not completely replace it. It comes on when the vacuum reservoir is low on vacuum, and the engine is making boost. Just did a quick forum search for it and it looks like it is known to go bad in the F150s, and they have since replaced it with a...

I'm officially a copycat ;)

Ugly installation of the canister but it works and everything clears.

Years ago I purchased an SSBC electric vacuum pump which was supposed to be able to operate independently from engine vacuum to operate the power brakes. Unfortunately the pump could never keep up with stop and go driving, rock crawling when on the brakes a lot etc, so I ditched the pump. I...

Thank you for the positive feedback! It's always great to hear that folks are finding the forums to be useful :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum Sebastian. Great looking Explorer you've got there. :chug:

LOL, oh the joys of dealing with boneyards. Best of luck getting it all sorted out!

Howdy!

Very clean looking ride. Welcome to the forum:chug:

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you'll fit right in. I'm a bit of an electronics nerd myself. Amateur radio license, wire vehicles for side work etc...

No pics, but I use stainless steel worm clamps to hold the driveshaft to the bottom of the rollcage legs. It's attached to the main hoop legs.

If you can get testing in before hand that would be beneficial. The remoteness of a lot of the Moab trails can make bad situations worse.

Here is a link to the audio file you sent me: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0tXAA2ZTRyvdW9ILS1TYUpJakRmbkxaNkd2U05sQUJjSmZr/view?usp=sharing

I have a Ready Welder in my rig.

Always at the City Market. In the past folks would start showing up at 8, get some food for the trail, and head out by 9 or so.

That's very good info. I'm running Cometic MLS gaskets with my 13.5:1 big block, but the heads and block were milled especially for them.

That's great that you were able to buy your own truck back:chug:

I'm looking forward to seeing the beast in person :D

Watch for the thread in the Off-road Planning forum in October.

Great looking ride. You should join us at Truck Haven in the fall. Not too far from San Diego.

I would like to get a head count for Saturday night's dinner so the restaurant can plan accordingly. Please post how many will be in your party Saturday night.

Saturday night's dinner will be at 7pm at the Branding Iron: http://www.susiesbrandingiron.com/ Branding Iron 2971 South Hwy 191, Moab, UT 84532 Moab Brewery and the Blue Pig are a couple other places which we have converged upon as well :D

Congratulations Greg! I just added a year to your Elite subscription.:thumbsup:

:chug::rangertan:

Best of luck. Hopefully it was just a random fart ;)

What a great ride! Welcome to the forum:chug: I had a neighbor who owned one new.

That's a great collection Colin. I have seen some, but not all of them. :chug:

Are you converted to R134 or is it still R12?

Start by pulling any stored computer codes. Autoparts stores can usually do that for you for free. Come back here with the codes, and you can search for them on this site by using the Google search box near the top of each page. Welcome to the forum:chug:

If you have the OHV 4.0 you have a very long lasting engine which rarely requires major repair. If you have the 4.0 SOHC, the timing chains guides are prone to going bad and that is an expensive fix. Overall the rest of the Explorer suffers from the same things every older vehicle does. Window...

Thanks for the info and link Kevin. I just picked up a new copy.:chug: Charles Wells Moab 3rd edition

I just ordered a couple. How long did they take to get to you from Hong Kong?

Ki4npz Welcome to the forum from AB7FH :chug:

The visor is a nice mod. I guess I've been lucky with my heims, normally they line up without too much trouble.

:smoke:

I just had to smile as I followed along with the unveiling of the rust. I've been through everything you described. It's fantastic that you've pushed through and are getting this done :chug:
