Sorry for the late reply, its a '99. Thank you again, but may not need it anymore.. So i took the gem fully out and left the battery off for a few hours, plug everything back in after looking the gem over. And what do ya know, I heard the motor try, but then the whole case started grinding...

Fair, easy repair! Though I may just take it back for the core charge anyway since I got the new one in. Random chance though, do you know which wires on the t-case motor I could tap with a multimeter to test if its getting power? Least that should, I assume, narrow it down to the gem if it is...

Took the old one apart, some small bits in there, also quite gunky, not sure if thats just old grease? But its all in the gears..interesting to see inside, anything funky to yall? Also, only code I've got is the abs one and thats just the front left wheel speed sensor, which has been funky for...

I'll double check when I get home, but it should be right. I know for a fact I re-pinned correctly at the very least. But I remember comparing the two and thinking I had the same amount of wires, should be two empty slots on the old and on the new

We'll see, gotta figure out how haha! Also, had a spare switch from my radio bezel swap, threw it in and still nothing. Doesnt say, but does claim to fit at least, says 4wd and AWD, and wonder if that made a difference...

Mom's got a pretty good scanner I'm gonna grab tonight and check at least the abs code, should be able to read pretty in depth, so maybe it can?

I left the battery fully disconnected for 30 mins before just testing the motor off the case, sadly that didn't help it. Pretty sure, least based off these diagrams. Checked interior fuse 14 and 27, figured those were the best bets, but dont see those or any others blown. Checked the engine bay...

Now thats good to know, that may happen sooner then...

Thats fair, but it never even should have been in 4low, I only ever used 4high that night it quit on me. I do see how that makes sense, but I couldn't get either new or old motor to spin by hand so I couldn't get it to match the transfer case, just make the case march the motor. Also, I am...

Gotcha, wonderful, I'll go take it off and swap to low instead I guess..! Interesting that the markers aint 100% accurate, makes some sense but still interesting. Thank you for that! Not one thing I found mentioned setting it to 4low for install, so hopefully that's all it was Oh 100%, I...

Smart, I'll have to try taking it off and checking that it moves for sure, right now I'm letting it sit off the battery a while to maybe reset some stuff. Yes, at the time thats where I had to have it since thats where the old motor locked up. Once I got the new motor in, it finally managed to...

So to give a better idea: the way it sits here is where the old motor seems to have locked up, the red is about as far as I can get the indicator to point without bouncing back, the blue is more about where the new motor has it pointing on it. Do I maybe just need to keep twisting it towards the...

Okay, new thing. Replaced the motor, but still nothing, does anyone know if the indicator should be straight on the H in the transfer case, or on the end of the arrow point to the H? I couldn't get it to go the H and stay without bouncing back, which if it did sit on the H looks like would've...

You might have to dm me some info on that, cause that part still aint even shipped from what I can tell. And with all the rain, I was really hoping to test the 4wd tomorrow

Well I tried. I got the transfer case to shift back, but the motor is seized up, can't spin that suker for the life of me. Which sucks, cause now I gotta wait for the part to come in. Which in 3 days since I've ordered, still aint even shipped. Fricking heck, what an annoying situation. Tempted...

Oh I still am messing with it, and I say that about the same amount too lol

So new update, transfer case motor is out. She's currently stuck between auto and 4high by the feel of things, 4low wont even engage, gonna work on getting it back into auto at least tomorrow and replace the motor later in the week or next week. But currently I have a very unhappily AWD explorer.

They just go a bit brighter for a second, instead of going off for a split second to actually flash, they just brighten and dim. Adding a video of it to the end of this. When the DRLs are off, they function like normal, just surprised to see them do that when they're on Oh for sure! Looks so...

No real big update this time, just messing with some lighting stuff. Got some aux reverse lights going on soon, swapped out all my rear tail light bulbs for brighter ones since the smoked housing made it hard to see sometimes, especially the amber trying to shine through the red, so now its just...

Sitting close to 90lbs with both wheel and tire on my setup, setup on steelies too, right?

That it does, just not used to Its Behavior compared to the slightly older 4L60E. But oh well, as said as long as it's not hurting anything then fantastic! Just been a long time since I got to sit behind the the Explorer, so I guess I forgot how she drove. Hopefully your transmission work will...

Interesting, I'll record mine for some reference and add it here in a bit. But again, nice knowing it may be just normal!

Guess maybe its normal, I'm just used to a quick shift and getting moving, so I've stalled her a time or too that way. Like you, definitely plan to keep an eye on it, feel a bit safer about it now though haha! I did check the driveshaft without any luck, sucker dont budge a bit.

Alright! Some numbers are in! So, with me maxing my speed out at about 70mph, windows down, no a/c or vent, this is what I was getting today, averaged around 20mpg! It definitely didn't used to get that a few years ago! That rebuild, guck cleanup, and couple mods helped more than I thought in...

Dang, well thats aright! As said, anxiety likes to pop up for me, so figured I'd take a chance at being safer than sorry, but dont worry about it, especially if its been convoluted for ya before. If something happens, then something happens, but I'm sure things will be fine

Any chance ya already asked for that off? Just thinking it may be a good idea to give my boss as much time as possible in the case the baby comes a lil' late. So maybe the first week of November instead, just a few days delay to give an extra week for him.

[ Dad gum, yall got some fun stuff over there, lmao

I would say there's one way to find out, but I certainly ain't willing to test that theory lol

Thats without a/c, and I know its technically standard, I just dont recall it getting that high before, I just prefer it being cooler just in case. Didn't know there was an actual overheat code! Glad its not too bad at least!

Alright, planning time, gotta finish getting that fan hooked up properly to a sensor, but I may also replace my thermostat, pretty sure its got a high temp, like the 198 or something, in it cause ive seen it get as high as 216 during operating temps down the highway. Which in the FL heat I would...

Oh at least my girlfriend and I will be there for a bunch, we've been working on getting into kayaking so that would be a good one too! But the trails 100%

Yep! Too bad she ain't a first gen! Man that glass roof would both be awesome and terrifying, could you imagine if a branch fell and broke/cracked it? How much it would cost to get another...but dad gum going out camping in the woods with that would be amazing!

Time to see the new jurassic world! And how fitting to bring the X with some dinos on the basket! lmao

So nice to have both my girls in the driveway! Still may be going back, clunks kinda rough into reverse, but its got a full warranty so, I'm not too worried. Tried to charge the a/c and it doesn't feel very cold yet its in the green, but oh well better than nothing. Felt so weird to drive her...

Not gonna lie, I'm thinking I may keep it to the four leds vs five, makes it a lil' different than the X that way too. But she's wired, installed and done!

Been a long time coming, but visor on! I'll finish wiring it tonight! Short one led and wire channel, the channels are in the X at the shop, but I gotta order more leds. But not bad at all, looks good for a self install without help!

That's true, but one of them is using a bone stock small Nissan work van, barely clears a speed bump, plus hes not one for offroading necessarily, hes joining to search for new turtles lol The other guy has had a bad experience offroading in his suv once and doesn't do much with it since...

Yep, always love planning ahead, just in case, and always have a backup! Agreed, later the better, plus it'll be cooler out the later we go too. He says thanks haha! So we'll plan it around the 27th-31st for now then, of course not everyone has to stay that long and I dont expect most to stay...

Okay, change of plan, mentioned it to my boss and his new kid is supposed to be due around early october, and wants a bit off for that as expected, so the later in the month probably works best. So maybe the 20th-24th or the 27th-31st?
