Yeah I did see that, I just have to find a way to get my hands in there. There is a whole lot less room in the rear. I think this door has been closed shut for some time. It was so full of dirt/dust in the latch when I finally got it opened up it looked as though it had been this way for a...

Oh yeah its way open. Just got one of the front handles working right again. These rear ones are a pain. I will re read the thread you posted. Inside the latch seems to have a mini spring in there that does t seem to be on the other side.

Anyone have any luck finding these? Junkyard only parts? I got one on the drivers side rear passenger door that just cannot be jiggled the right way to get it to work. I have lubed it up real good but it's still being stubborn. I have got it open twice now but now it's stuck again. There...

If you did SAS it would you keep it low? That would be one awesome deal if you could do that.

Glad to see you still got the humor! I am around, I just really don't post to much anymore. I read all the time but that's about it. Another year or two I hope to get another rig.

Paul I read nothing about the most important part of your front bumper! We all know why that front bar is up so high to hold on to. :) Very nice write-up!

Way Cool! Thanks for posting this!

Has someone already figured out tunes for these cars? I read a while ago that they couldn't be hacked into yet. The Ecoboost is a fun little motor. We have a 2013 Fusion with the 1.6 Ecoboost and see around 26 mpg in the city here in Wichita. In Colorado that was around 19-21 mpg due to the...

After doing my old F250 with this item http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-Clutch-rod-Permanent-Fix-SUPER-DUTY-TOO-/251233141306?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7ea9823a&vxp=mtr . I would think that someone like you could adapt the same idea towards yours. It was like having a whole...

I have seen some cool stuff with these guys logo on it. http://www.softopper.com/ford-ranger-soft-top-truck-cap-details.aspx Check out the ranger rear screen panel. I would imagine something like that with the right measurements could get you where you want. :)

How about, ( ) Try to finish what I started by the end of the year. LOL

Cool good info to know. I am going to study it more here in the future. I have some ideas up my sleeve for the accessories that attach to it.

I have heard that irish spring works too. You put it in the areas that they get into and the smell deters them.

Cut off the inner fenders of their ex for a motor swap? Or even just cut them out and put in something else later when done?

Very nice, I bet all the hard work was well worth the wait.

Yeah I was happy. I am guessing that one of the items that I replaced also fixed some of the main problems. Very happy with it.

Think I got it. But its snowing now so I am inside getting warmed up. There is a rubber 'gasket' that goes in around the egr tube that was somewhat stretched out and icked up. That and I forgot to plug the tube from the air-intake to where you fill the oil up. All things I just passed over...

Yeah then later in the article it says inch pounds, which threw me off. I will re-torque it all here this Friday afternoon. Got school tonight so no time.

Yup, did both the upper and lower intake gaskets. I will re-check the torque settings on them though. I went off the article on here that was saying it was all in-lbs and not ft-lbs. Somewhat confusing this is what I went off of http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171819 . I...

Looks like I am going to have the search for the leak. I have pulled and checked all the lines to the top of the motor so far and saw no cracks. However I am sure that this has to be the problem like you all are saying. I just had this problem on our aviator and had to replace the hose at...

Just swapped my coil pack and ICM off the '93 on to it and it still had the same result. Arg.... I just got to walk away till I get some tools I guess.

I did plug it but just used my thumb. Maybe not good enough? I will do a good plug on it here Thursday afternoon. I will also get some tools and report back my findings on Vacuum and fuel pressure.

Oh yeah, checked the wiring order all was good. Will check the plugs again this weekend. Not enough daylight left. Just went out and checked the brake booster. Pulled that line and got a real good hissing noise and then a pop once I pulled it out. I am assuming that means I had good vacuum...

Rick, It's run somewhat bad for a while. CEL on and all that. The plugs were changed just cause my kid thought that would help her. It's her car and she drives it all the time I am just trying to get it running right for her. I was looking at that connection the other day and it could...

Okay replaced the TPS now. Still the same thing. Cannot figure it out at all. Looked at the MAF the diodes or whatever is in there looked good and all looked real clean inside. Also I guess the fuel pump was done too I forgot about that. Here is are two separate videos...

Rough Idle Questions (Now with Video) Okay all, I will post a video Tuesday of what this thing is doing. For now I will try to describe it. I have a 1995 4.0 OHV with 187k miles on it. Here is what has been done. Spark Plugs/Wires Fuel Filter Air Filter EGR Valve Upper and Lower Manifold...

Vacuum Leak on the back side of the throttle body. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=254270 http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217062

Where did you get a good wiring diagram from? The Chilton's I have leave a bit to be desired. I thought I had something good online but I must have not bookmarked it. I pulled all the tape and loom covers off the new motors wiring harness today and both harnesses are a lot more integrated...

I might have to take you up on that. Let me get through this weekend and by next weekend there should be some "play" money in the the "play" account again. From what I have read there isn't a whole lot of differences on these upper intakes. Except for whatever badge might be on them.

Budget breakdown. $650.00 paid for Ex $400.00 for Motor Tranny T/C Engine Hoist $150 for Clutch Slave Cylinder ($140) for scrap money from older motor tranny and t/c $40 for metal for front bumper Updated as I get further.

Yeah I hope so! I have gathered up some GT40p heads and will take those plus the block to a machinist here soon and have them build it up. I still need an upper intake, as I tossed the 5.8 one as its to tall and restrictive. I will be going with a Mustang or Explorer style one. This is a...

The reason for the engine swap. 1. Because I want to. 2. 4.0 was running bad, would not idle and did not want to put money into it. 3. Whole combo of engine, tranny, and transfercase PLUS hoist cost me $400. 4. Power + Auto should be fun. 5. Paid $650 for the Explorer. (yup thats six hundred...

What it's all about. Moab in the first pic. My boy driving in the next I think he might be six here. Then my other kid driving it, I think she is 14 here.

This is how you pull a truck out of the garage with no drive train under it. Needed to wash the dirt out of the engine bay once the motor was removed. Laying under the Ex to shift into 4x4. New Transfercase that is going into it. Not so sure I will use this one yet or not. Would like a...

Some Goodies that are going into it. 4.0 Coming out. 351/5.8 EFI/C6/BW1356(I think) Pile of wiring parts

Here is my build up. Right now in no particular order. However that will change once I get things organized a bit.

I was considering making my own but that one might really be the way to go. Especially since my harness I got with the motor was cut in some areas. I really am not sure which way to go yet. I am thinking I want clean and not messy for sure. I do want to keep it like yours as far as keeping...

Hmm... Yeah that does make it a tougher. I am still dismantiling the truck for the swap. I might have to consider just moving someplace else depending on how much wire length I can get. Did you use the http://oldfuelinjection.com/?p=1 page to help with your wiring or a set of books for each...

Question for you. Is your ECU mount on the driver's side down under the brake booster? Was that the stock location for a Ranger? My '93 Explorer is in the passenger side kick panel. Yours looks so much easier for wiring up.
