    AWD or 2wd? 98 Ford explorer 5.0 limited...

    I say 4406 that thing and then you can run in 2wd till you need 4wd and have a low range to boot.

    Bushings for Aftermarket Shackles?

    No, and there is a sticky about getting aftermarket bushings. I just bought the frame bushings for $14 from Energy Suspension.

    Intermittent engine "stutter" - Ford Explorer

    The MAF oil problem is only if you over oil your air filter. I have had a K&N on my 94 Stang since 2001 and it has never oiled the MAF unit.

    Poor MPG, Good O2 Data with 4406 2wd swap

    Your math is good IF you are sucking all 21 gallons out of your tank....which you aren't. I just checked, if it takes 19 gallons to fill your tank with those miles your getting about 14.5 MPG without adding the extra miles the tires are giving you. I'd bet your closer to 15 then you think How...

    Anyone in NJ/PA/NY area ever wheel in Rausch Creek?

    When I raced motocross and when they had a MX track I went to that a bunch but I never went to the truck area. My brother used to go to the truck area a lot and said it was great for what it's worth.

    Intermittent engine "stutter" - Ford Explorer

    Anywhere but a dealer. And they sell it as a drop in unit already mounted to the sending unit. I'm talking just a fuel pump not the whole assembly. From Google...

    Engine rebuild? - The Cost?

    My big block machine shop bill was $1200 if I remember correctly. That was boring, hone, decking, head decking and inspection, checked for line honeing (didn't need it), main and rod bearings,crank turned, pistons fitted to rods and balanced, cam bearings installed and new freeze out plugs...

    Intermittent engine "stutter" - Ford Explorer

    IMHO, If you have over 100,000 miles on the pump I'd rather change it at my leisure then have it leave me sit or cause problems. Most pumps last much longer then that but if that vehicle was owned by the type that always drives on fumes, that is very hard on a fuel pump. To me it is $100 peace...

    With the lean codes I'd say fuel pump.

    OBX Header Install complete - only issue needing help on

    OEM is rubber, I'd want polyurethane if I had your issue. I would assume that some 94-95 Mustang motor mounts would fit if they don't make them specifically for Explorers.

    OEM Fan Alternatives?

    I'd start with a new thermostat, yours might be stuck shut or partially open.

    OEM Fan Alternatives?

    in 79 you could only get a 351m or 400, it had the 400 but has a built 460 now and they were all metal back then that I'v seen.

    My 5.0 fan is plastic, what years had metal fans?

    Rear brake upgrade

    I wasn't talking about the diameter of the hat, just the surface the wheel rest against. It looks larger like a larger axle flange would fit in it.

    Rear brake upgrade

    It could be an optical illusion but it looks like the rotor surface where the studs stick through has a larger diameter then the stock rotor. That could be very handy for the guys who want to drill them for 5 on 5.5. Can you verify if this is so?

    Best Mountaineer Mods?

    There again, do the AAL then you could always add whatever to it. In this thread is pics of mine before and after the AAL. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/my-98-xlt-5-0-finally-goes-under-the-knife.429627/#post-3606417

    Best Mountaineer Mods?

    Adding tow hooks is simple and cheap. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/2nd-gen-tow-hooks-my-solution.453385/#post-3583552 I would do an Add a leaf instead of shackles since the AAL helps old worn out springs feel new or at least ride better. Mine went from feeling like bowl...

    4406 shifter boot

    I trimmed the console because I wanted to tuck the boot to the right all I could to gain leg room. The rubber boot just barely rubs on my leg and If I'd push the boot down the shift shaft and zip tie it there it would not touch my leg at all. Just wanted to let you guys know that I think I did...

    My 98 XLT 5.0 Finally Goes Under The Knife

    Get this. As I was cutting the center pieces that get welded in my brother comes running in the garage telling me to stop. I'm like wtf? He went junk yarding and found some like new aftermarket shackles the same size that I was building. So I guess no finished picture of my shackles Well...

    My 98 XLT 5.0 Finally Goes Under The Knife

    Even though I have 95% of what I need to do the SAS it will be a year or two till I get around to it. So for now I'm going to see if I can fit some 32x11.5-15 on the stock wheels and not rub. The front bumper is not a concern since I have one of these Smittybilt SRC Front Bumpers. I'm going...

    1999 Explorer traction lok issue

    I'd pull the cover and look to see what's in it. Unless you owned it from new, who knows what's been done to it.

    Sending unit to fuel line disconnect

    Any of those type of fittings get full of road grim and grit. I find that a good hoseing with PB Blaster then without the tool try to slide the two parts together and apart. They will move maybe 1/8'' to 1/4'' or so, then flush again with PB Blaster.

    4406 shifter boot

    The factory truck boot just aint right huh? Worked out just fine for me. The inner boot needed to be reshaped some but the outer boot was easy.

    Starkman's Explorer build thread

    I'm glad I found this thread! The day I found this thread and decided I need a front bumper like that they went on sale for $199.99 free shipping! It showed up today and it is nice and heavy without being too heavy. Time for me to get some 2x4 steel now.

    99 explorer howling noise

    My rear howls....no lie. Other than that if you have a V8 the viscus coupler might be out. The sound can travel down the DS and make it sound like the rear is growling/howling. Remove the DS and see what it sounds like. If it's quite you just narrowed it down to 2 things.

    Leaking windshield

    It's probably leaking because the sheet metal the windshield gets glued to is rusted away. With that in mind decide how far you want to go to fix it. Caulk might be the answer for a temporary fix.

    Ever heard of this ''lift'' kit?

    That's good to know. I plan on using factory shackles after the axle flip so maybe I'll just get some 3/8'' steel and make shackles.

    What an embarrassing day

    When the back goes down the front goes up. That CV might get to a point it makes noise with the weight in the back.

    Ever heard of this ''lift'' kit?

    My 98 is a 5.0 so the tranny will be fine and I already did a 4406 swap so I have low range. To answer your question, it has 3.73 which is fine for smaller tires like that IMO. I drive mostly on road and like I said, my last daily driver for 18 years was a 79 Bronco with 6'' lift, 35's, and a...
