    Setina PB400

    Based on what? 10% is obscenely high for any kind of manufacturing. Automated crimping and harness making is by far more reliable than doing it by hand.

    SOLVED

    If it’s on factory wires then it probably needs a fair amount of other general maintenance like brake fluid swap, coolant flush, transfer case and axle fluid changes.

    99 SOHC Idle Noise & Misfire

    @donalds what do you think? you should be able to pull the plugs without yanking the intake.

    2001 Sport Trac with 97K mi

    Welcome to the site. You may want to do a Search in here about pre-oilers and consider a large transmission cooler.

    2000 AWD 5.0 performance upgrades

    Definitely can’t use any standard header without EXTENSIVE modifications. Getting around the steering shaft and clearing the frame is VERY tight.

    Yeah, I’d say so. Original owner?

    Why would it need corrected? The timing will change as you drive.

    2000 AWD 5.0 performance upgrades

    First big leap in performance is replacing the restrictive headers, with a set from Torque Monster.

    Auto Start-Stop Technology

    Ahhh, so no comment on how your entire point was wrong, and the obscure little thing you tried to call out was ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Typical.

    2000 AWD 5.0 performance upgrades

    Depends on your budget. Making one of these fast, by any modern standard, is extremely cost prohibitive.

    Auto Start-Stop Technology

    Totally fine, I amend my statement. It’s a private forum, and I’ll post anywhere on it that I feel like. Also, for the record the Sedition Act(s) were garbage and repealed.

    I see no reason to change the alternator. I went 100k on my Motorcraft plugs. I’ve got 50k in the current set. I’ll probably change them soon.

    Safe floor jack points

    I’ve seen jack toppers in commercial garages, I’m sure there’s a solid, durable puck out there, if that’s what you prefer.

    Transmission 2004 XLT 4x4 WTF?

    Lol. Be careful where you get it rebuilt. These aren’t the easiest tranny to rebuild.

    Gear issue in 8.8 with heavy duty rear cover

    There’s nothing wrong with a more solid diff cover. You just need to keep the oil where it’s supposed to be on the gears, and it’d be fine.

    Safe floor jack points

    I’ve always wanted a set of ramps like they use to show off the cars undercarriage at dealers...

    Ramps are much improved these days.

    Oil accumulator

    What filter do you use?
  19. Mbrooks420

    Oil accumulator

    This piqued my interest. Took a look at some parts diagrams, and the 2.0 has the oil pressure switch in the oil filter mount, so it’d hook up direct with just the hose, and a tee. Interesting... I’m also looking into a remote transmission filter. And some power wiring upgrades. And some...

    PTU gone bad

    Silver liquid is pretty curious. I have seen pretty metallic oil come out of bike transmissions after races due to people slipping the clutches waaaay too much and smoking the aluminum plates. It was still obviously black, but had a good sheen. I’m not sure what color the PTU fluid starts...

    Why you don't want a PIU for personal use.

    Surely not zero idling. The heat and AC, and the rest of the extensive electronics would mean it’d have to idle at least a significant portion of the time. Although it would be considerably less, perhaps.

    Leaning left or right

    There is a spring loaded shock option. I had an Airlift setup in my last Mounty.

    Engine Swap - Now PATS won't let me start?

    Boom. Best forum ever.

    I’d really hope the 2019 vehicle would ride better in every way. ;)

    Mystery Electrical Plug - 1999 Monty 4.0 SOHC

    I’m not sure why it would be the case, but there are definitely models that had them on the right. The only logical thing on why it’d have two is they subbed in a different harness due to a parts shortage/overage.

    Why you don't want a PIU for personal use.

    That’s a lot of service with the idling. I’ve seen them several times with 5-20k.

    Leaning left or right

    The adjuster bolts are often pretty different. Sometimes they are too bottomed out for a TT, and ya gotta index the bar.
  28. Mbrooks420

    Why you don't want a PIU for personal use.

    You can get them with incredibly low mileage. They are only desirable because they are super discounted.

    Mystery Electrical Plug - 1999 Monty 4.0 SOHC

    Naw. It’s probably factory if they look the same. The plug is USUALLY on the drivers side, it’s occasionally on the passenger side as well. Not sure about the extra pins.
  30. Mbrooks420

    Leaning left or right

    The problem is all the drivers side springs have the sag. If you just swap a passenger for a driver it’ll sit pretty level with a slight adjustment of the torsion bars.

    Why you don't want a PIU for personal use.

    Only thing I see missing is a center console. Not really a big deal, lots of aftermarket support there. I’d set up some sort of carputer with a locking storage. I’m sure tons of civilians will still buy them.
  32. Mbrooks420

    Leaning left or right

    Got any pick and pulls? Grab a passenger leaf off of a truck with the same spring code.

    Do Aviator or Explorer have auto locking?

    I don’t see how it could possibly be a patent issue. Features can’t be patented, only the method in which they are carried out. Ford obviously has the ability to know if the keyfob is present. Maybe Ford just doesn’t want their setup exactly as Chevy does. If this is such a problem, this...

    1996 Explorer V8 AWD drive train

    There should be backlash in the chain system. How many miles? Your front driveshaft CV joint is probably worn out. Remove it and drive and see if you still have the issue. Warning: it WILL slowly creep in park if parked on a hill.

    Bass knob?

    Do you have any blanked switch covers for options you don’t have? That’s usually my first choice for visible switches.
  36. Mbrooks420

    Leaning left or right

    It’s not the shocks. They do nothing to set ride height, you can get under and just unbolt them and nothing moves. The lean is due to the constant weight of the gas tank and possibly driver. You can swap leaves to help, but a new set is fairly inexpensive. Unless, of course you are talking...

    Lift kits for 5th gen. Explorer

    If you install something that alters ride height, you had better believe they will blame ANY suspension issue on this and deny any claims that they can.

    4 cylinder engine swap?

    How do you use it?
  39. Mbrooks420

    4 cylinder engine swap?

    3 mpg is highly suspect. Most likely there were other factors adding to that.
