Reading between the lines, paragraphs too, that means distracted. If Herd made a bumper for the explorer, it would be a good investment.

I've had the exact same thing happen, and it seems drivers are getting worse.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Promaxx heads flow over 300 cfm and are cheaper than edelbrock. Everything you can do to the 4.0 you can do to the 5.0 and make more power. A 351W also fits and you could put twins on it.

Those appear bigger than some of the older adapters.

Plenty of people on this forum that have swapped engines in a driveway without a lift.

I hope not!

A fender washer or two under the motor mounts sometimes is needed for clearance.

If you swap your water pump over to the replacement engine you'll be good for quite awhile. Car-part.com is where I checked, most of those yards ship and by freight truck a pallet space is usually $150 or so.

A junkyard motor with under 100,000 miles can be had for $2,500 or so. If it was me, I'd swap the motor and run it till the wheels fall off.

Letting the beer get warm is alcohol abuse.

I'm curious why it didn't run on starting fluid if you have spark?

@joney

The R2.8 is the equivalent of the 4.0 sohc in the cummins lineup. A 4bt is just getting broke in when the plastic timing parts on the R2.8 are letting go.

Hard to answer without a BSFC map. I'm not seeing one online yet.

Depends on what the engine will be used in. The godzilla is a great fleet engine in things like a u haul. If I had a 40 foot box truck and was forced to run it on gasoline, it would have the cummins under the hood.

You need a 5.0 but that doesn't answer your original question.

Take the passenger seat out so the motor can ride shotgun.

I don't own anything with a hood long enough to fit a 6.7 inline 6. It does look like an impressive engine though.

I'd replace it if you're taking it off. I've had them fail, then leak oil out of the sensor.

I've noticed this a few times, months old posts being bumped with no new activity.

I just wing it.

Pretty serious ignition issue that I don't have an answer to. Cylinder 5 spark plug being wet is probably the cause of the backfire.

Just out of curiosity, why a C5 instead of an AOD?

The Advance Adapters swap headers pictured above are junk. They were made from thin wall exhaust tube which cracked at the welds.

The lockup converter is also no longer available so when they die it gets converted to a C4.

I'm no expert with the C4 or C5 transmission, the case length is shorter than an A4LD. Does the 4wd transfer case extension housing make up the difference?

I too need a recap. This thread has been out of sight and mind for awhile.

That's bad. I'd section in a better piece from another explorer.

Remember a few years ago when I helped another forum member diagnose a no spark no start, it ended up being that connector.

It could be almost any of the sensors. We know the crankshaft sensor is good, no need to keep beating that dead horse. Some of the sensors can be unplugged to see if it starts. Have you checked the square engine harness connector at the back of the engine, it could be corrosion on a few pins...

It is either a failed sensor or a wire in the harness not making good contact at a connector.

The 90 degree filter adapter that was on the old engine could be used.

I guess it depends on the area for car prices. I'll drive way out into the desert for a good deal. I'm seeing Rangers around me for under $4k that are extended cab and 4 wheel drive, older but good to go.

The vultures are circling this vehicle. If you're the one doing the work, the real question is, do you feel energetic enough to invest time and or money into it? If it is like every other Iowa vehicle I've seen, the cancer is probably worse than you expect. If it was me, I'd look for something...

That looks like it will work well after a few coats

I painted a Freightliner truck with Raptor Liner cause I wanted a cheap, good looking painted job. Using it for a headliner board repair is a good idea. Buy disposable brushes, cause it will be easier to throw away than clean. Also measure how much you use per coat, so you don't waste a bunch...

The texture is from how it is applied. If you brush it on, or use a super smooth paint roller it will be a smooth finish. An airgun at 80 psi gives the popcorn finish.

1. Factory ac with a R134 compressor is my recommendation. 2. hvac fan, heater core, evaporator box, notch it and patch to clear the valve cover 3. You'd gain a bit of space up front with the explorer dress.
