    Completed Project 93 Explorer TDI Swap

    Do it once! Measure at ride height is the only way to fly Stock shaft may still be good! Use spicer lifetime joints, the ones with the white seals non greasable much stronger (it’s the stock joint)

    And the hits keep coming...

    Lucas red and tacky wheel bearing grease is good Or any moly grease or marine grease there are several options I use brake clean and a magnet to free the little lock pin from the spindle groove on the auto hubs. If it is fighting you then you need to move the spindle nut slightly to take any...

    And the hits keep coming...

    Yes and every trailer and set of old wheel bearings that ride on a spindle. Imo the torque wrench is not needed How the spindle nuts come off depends greatly on if you still have automatic hubs or not Pretty much all 94s had the abs tone rings

    Getting the most out of what I have

    For your rear brake line what we usually do for a lifted ex (without buying anything), is remove the hard line from its bracket then it can flex another 3-4”

    You want him to get an inch pounds torque wrench to Re torque the spindle nuts? Is your explorer 4wd? Do you still have auto hubs?

    Blend Door Actuator troubles

    As stated above You need to buy the actuator for eatc And you must perform the reset procedure The eatc is self learning once it sees a bad actuator is quits trying to turn it Usually I buy a dorman cheap actuator Then I open it and steal the nylon gear, use it to fix the oem actuator

    4.0 l bogs down after 15 to 20 minutes of driving if key off for 2 minutes will drive another 15

    I had the catalyst break free from the housing on a cat converter once. It gave me fits for months! Eventually even a slight incline I would have no power from my 4.0 bronco ii. I finally found it by tapping on the exhaust and dropping the exhaust mid pipe The catalyst honeycomb was free and...

    Can I put the body panels of a 1st gen on the front of my second gen?

    I would just go find some gen ii body parts probably in the same color (paint code) as your 98 A hood and two fenders can be had in about 30 minutes and that’s only because the fenders have one stupid 10mm that goes into the header panel . Junk yard or private seller would likely be $100 for...
