Sorry I never checked back! Just randomly clicked back in my head! How'd that go? And yeah, still playing out my pros and cons of doing the weber along with my rebuild, or trying to find a kia fe3 to swap in since it bolts right up to our tranny. Plus ya go from carb to fuel injection that way...

Figure it's worth a shot, going to just replace that, the mc, and the calipers just for the sake of age most likely. The total weight of mine i belive are a out 90lbs, the wheel ain't sold anymore but based on a 6 lug version being 34 lbs and the tire being 56 lbs, definitely makes a...

And that wildwood costs too much for me lol We'll see, i know the calipers themselves were already pretty good, but figured if I could find a performance style mc that fits, maybe it would help some, heard a few things like old corvettes and camaros shared the same 1.062" bore, and I KNOW...

Has to fit within my 16" wheels, but also, I just replaced the front ones with new drilled and slotted, hate to put them aside for a second set that's not going to help much more. Did a lot of reading through threads last night, saw yours a few times, still considering, just wondering if its...

Which is what I want, I want more brakes, want to be safe lol Guessing there's not much for it then, huh? Wonder if a master cylinder off something else could fit...like the master cylinder off a first gen silverado ('99-07 or whatever) fits on my '95 c1500 and it's an AMAZING upgrade, easily...

Well, even having tranny issues of its own, the rado ceases to disappoint. Sad saying this is the fourth time that poor explorer has had to be towed somewhere. But she's home, now I just gotta crank her from time to time and wait on parts to come in. Anything yall recommend checking or doing...

Thank you so much!

Never know what life will be like by then, never say never lol

Good to know! Well, I tried checking the tuner and I can set like the mph of the shift, or set it off by a percent or something, can't remember now, but I can't set the ratios, so I'm screwed there. Alright, well, gonna try towing it home Monday, then I'm waiting for parts. Going to just try...

Wait really? It's a 3 speed with two overdrive? Didn't know that...! But interesting

I think my tuner can mess with the tranny gear ratio, what if I set gear 3 to a different value? Does anyone know what the original ratios should be? That way I can maybe try that?? Don't think it'll fix the reverse and neutral things but may help the slipping.

The idle thing is almost fixed actually? Cleaned the oem iac up and put it back and it may have helped it seems? Hadn't considered that, hope it aint..

Well, first test drive went pretty much great, but then got called into work though. Figured why not, take the sploder! I wasn't even half way before I was slipping almost constantly above 1st, O/D started flashing, Limped it to work since it was easier to get there on back roads than back on...

Still ain't figured out the vacuum leak or whatever it is...but, think yall know what time it is..may be doing test drives in the morning...!

Some good facts there! And yeah, certainly interesting that it did that, surprised it took me this long to notice too

Alright, fixed that, that red and seal were supposed to go on the other connector half, so they got stuck in there. Pliers ripped it out, placed it correctly, plugged in fine! Cleared the codes and so far they didn't return, but I didn't run the engine very long due to being late, I'll do some...

Alright, assistance...think i found my tranny codes issue, maybe the idle issue but doubt that second half. Tell me, this don't look right does it? This is the main connector on the passenger top side of the bell housting, same harness that holds the o2 sensor plug right beside it. Any ideas...

Alright, well, I extended the wiring and replaced the wiring harness for the tps, which seems like it helped? It will still crank all the way to 2k rpms before calming back down to like 1200, but she'll idle, it's kinda rough, but she idles without dying! It still gets close to dying, like very...

Dang, that's quite the project! Least it's a direct swap over, make sure not to hurt yourself!

Oh, trust me, that may not be the only thing I fixed I think...! I'll have an update later for sure

Well, thanks to an 01 sport at the junkyard, found a set of adapters that work! So lines are hooked in! Funny enough, some of the others I grabbed to try, I think are the same as the ones i bought, last picture showing the old vs the brand new one.

Sweet! Thank you! Would love me some braided stainless! Especially brake lines! Good to know, probably better than me trying to make a 40k fit like I planned for the rado! Lmao

Thanm you! Did you still keep it run through both, or just the cooler?

I've got one on the front too, but yes, I definitely need to and PLAN to upgrade it later! Almost did during all this, but decided to hold off for funding sake. Speaking of....mind sending me the link the for one you used?

That a better tranny cooler I'm looking at?

Okay, well, new fun: got the tranny line adapters for the radiator in and cool, they fit on the lines!...but they don't fit into the radiator. They're slightly too big to go in, so now I either have to re-tap that radiator, or put an adapter on an adapter which is a "fun" choice, but may run it...

Took the maf off, looked pretty clean, may have replaced it at some point. But I also tried unplugging it while it ran and it definitely made a difference, so not sure that was it either sadly.

The idle screw I believe is fine but I could mess with it. Not impossible on the maf, not sure I ever replaced mine, so it may be oem. Appreciate the suggestion!

Yeah, that's what's throwing me off, especially since I can't find any hoses disconnected, has to be leaky somewhere...

Okay, figured some stuff out, got my driver side lock working again, least for now, seems like that rod pops off the lock cylinder without a crazy amount of effort sometimes, but it's on. Also, passenger window fixed, so I'm guessing this happened way back when I had the truck painted, but...

Okay, new battery in, cranked right up, sounded better too, but didn't run it very long due to being late and incredibly loud temporarily. I'll try in the morning and see if she shuts off again, but so far good. Weirdly enough, that old battery went down to 9 volts last I saw, left it connected...

@CDW6212R I can look, but don't think there's any issues, could a vacuum leak keep the throttle open like that? The tranny codes all have a chance of being low fluid, last I checked it was alright, but it may not have fully gotten cycled through to everything yet, especially since the truck...

Well as said, start with that battery, then I'll go from there, based on the hangup at 1500rpms each time, I'd guess there's a vacuum leak, but we'll see..hate to buy more crap

Well, probably won't help those codes, but I've got a new battery to try tonight, so we'll see if she can stay running or not at least.

Where would you suggest being a primary source to check? Cause honestly I'm pretty darn sure I got it all. I also found that the small rubber elbow below the thermostat housing leaks ever so slightly, could hear it bubbling out through the top of the elbow after it shut off. Pretty much. lol

Okay, only codes I get ain't the reason for shutting off, but I got codes: p0755, p0743, and p0708. All transmission codes which throws me off some but any clues to that? Also, battery holds at between 14.2-14.28 volts while running slowly edging down, right around that 14.2-14.21 was when it...

So, weird things I've noticed. Mostly addressed here but I'll summarize, I had the zip tie on the throttle cable in the first video which I thought was the cause of the stuck holding rev after I let off the pedal. Guessing it's the throttle body? Not sure what's causing that. Next, the smoke was...

Thank you! Got an in line method for the upper hose on the way that I'm going to try first, since I dont want to take everything apart to try and get to those wires right now. But, I do have an update coming in a few minutes

Nevermind, sounds like grey should be the ECT, the brown would be the IAT. Though also sounds like someone says one classifies as a switch and the other a sensor? So I'm really not sure offhand, but maybe I could tap the new temp wire into the grey connection wires somewhere up the line? Rather...

Maybe? But as said, fhen I've got a connection there that's not plugged in, that brown one can no longer be plugfed in if I did put that in, so I'd assume that's not good? Do you knowthe difference between the brown and grey one? I can't find a difference, they're both a coolant sensor by the...
