Old thread but good pics in here. Specially when your upside-down looking at this bracket trying to see if your seeing it right.

Well anyone got any? Stared at it for a while and could not get my hand/arm to squeeze in there the right way to get a wrench or socket up in there. I am thinking I might have to remove the suspension bracket there in the way but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. Searched many times and...

What type of motor mounts did you end up using? Any other issuses with fitment?

Well thanks for all the help guys. My dad has a guy that he trusts and has had work done there before and will just take it there. I was trying to do the help from 600 miles away thing and I probably should've just called him first. :) Will let everyone know how it turns out.

Nice! She is in the sameish area as you then. She is in Goddard, but right on the border of the town limits. Let me know what works best for you. I am not in a hurry just would like someone who knows Explorer's to look at it first. I will PM you here later tonight after I talk at her again...

Well at least it's got a stick. I am thinking it's something on the top of the motor to do with air-intake. I just hate being this far away. It will probably go to a shop and I will just have to pay. She gets worried about these things so I thought I would see who was close by.

Hey all KS folks. Is there anyone around the Wichita area that could help out my daughter. She is staying at my folks's house and has run into a rough running problem with her '95 Ford Explorer. I replaced the o2 sensors before she lft but was not able to do any more. If anyone has a ODBI...

Hood stack duh..... :scratch::dunno::burnout::burnout::burnout: ;)

My aviator has a console shifter. I can take a pic of it if it would help you out.

Yeah that's what I meant. It just seemed like you had such good pics of the process that I was guessing that you were doing it. I am trying to gather as much info as I can about that world before I drop off my 351 at the machine shop.

Are you doing the engine machining yourself?

Yeah I am not sure why they used that fix other then maybe it was cheap and easy. It also just helped more water and muck get into that area because it was not a real sealer. The fix will be up-coming once I get some metal on my hands.

Well if we don't run this year it just gives me more time to save up and get my rig up so it can run some of the harder stuff next time around. I would still love to go but would rather there be a decent group number in it.

This Explorer when I bought it had the rot in front of the rear wheels like most others. It was covered up with some aluminum sheeting and riveted in. I couldn't stand seeing the big rust spot there so I took it all out. Eventually this whole side with get a boat sided effect done to it but...

I am right down the street from spidertrax I can go by there and give them your credit card and pick out your axle for you. :)

Around June 7th? That's our 10th anniversary and Ryan's all hyped up to do that. Maranda

Here is a story about a guy I was going to welding school with. He ended up having to drop out because the injury was so bad. He lost his grant and couldn't afford to repay it and got screwed out of that. Plus he was off work for months. Was not a good deal...

We are there! My kid wants us to take her to Moab for Graduation, she will be driving her own Explorer when we are out there. I will check with Maranda to see what dates she was checking out. She was already looking at booking a room. No new mods to mine so I would be in the "crazy" stocker...

Very help full, now off to find out how to make the paperclip dodad for the new '95 as it's running rough and stuff.

We bought it that way. It was a Craigslist find.

I was using the body tool today. http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm33/alliemeis94/First%20Explorer/?action=view&current=IMG_0992.jpg

I See you!

Yeah I was not sure if it was that or a NP series like my '99 F250 has. I need to get an engine stand and get everything separated cleaned up and then ready to put in.

I am not sure which transfercase it is yet, I have not found the markings on it. However the motor seems to have a 5.8L and the tranny seems to be a C6. It's all going to need to get in the Explorer. It all came out of a 1993 F250. I am missing the upper intake, I need to see if I missed it...

I am sure these guys could come up with the parts that might make it all easier... http://www.destroked.com/faq.php :)

Go for the '03 and up common rail so that you could get some clean burn times then when its time to go...... The only thing you would have to watch is routing the exhaust out the right way. Anymore the tracks want stacks or something to keep the smoke out of the sensors.

Cummins??? :P

Well it was warm enough today to get that carpet somewhat clean. I set it up on two saw horses and just sprayed it with cleaner and scrubbed and scrubbed. Then I sprayed it out with the hose it was just pouring out brown. I got it as much as I could and now it's going back in Sunday if it...

Yeah the green one I have it was worse then this one. It was owned by a smoker who just thought the whole thing was an ash tray. My work F350 is a 2001 and it's been smoked in since new. I cleaned the headliner with some zep window cleaner and when I was doing it you could see brown...

LOL, thats baking soda that I poured on a spot in the console and the floor that was so stinky that I tried to get some relief from the smell as I was taking other things out.

I bought this one with 180k on the clock around 5 years ago. Working construction it's a nice truck to have. With all my gear I still average around 16-17mpg in town with a easy pedal. Plus this one is a stick so it gets a bit better mpg.

My kids were taught not to pull that type of stuff. I think pets, and smokers don't help either. That and coffee everywhere...

It was pulled to pull the carpet out. The seats were just as bad. I got both seats out now. I pulled the carpet, and took it to the car wash and sprayed it out. It needs more cleaning but it got to cold last night and froze all up again... Saturday I plan to clean out the rest of it.

Good, had to replace the clutch fork a few years ago, water pump, and batteries. Not to many other things.

Just rolled over 300 on the '99 F250 7.3.

What do people do in their cars?!!?

Here is something I put together this afternoon. The one in the back is so my boy has something to hold onto when we are going over the big stuff. The one on the door is just a replacement handle to keep from loosing the door when your on a hill. Just used the pictured washers and some rope...

Good to know, I don't know when the cage will happen but I hope someday soon. To many projects!

If you were to put the X brace behind the behind the rear seats would you lose the support that it provides?
