I'm looking for things to try here. My exhaust isn't exactly stock, but exits the stock location. What I can tell you is that I don't have an exhaust leak. With a window down, or the roof open its almost like the smell comes from the back of the cabin. It's surprisingly bad. My exhaust does...

Quick background so everyone knows where I'm going here: I have a requirement to go return style fuel arrangement one my 2000 Explorer 5.0 as I need to get fuel pressure down to 40psi. The reason for this is my injector data is out of range for inputting in to the ECU at 60psi fuel pressure. I...

| K and P Engineering For us 5.0 V8 guys, the filter is an S17 The bad? This product carries a price that will bring a tear to your eye when your paying for it. The Good? 1. I can't find one negative review. 2. Over on the YellowBullet the big guys use them, and swear by them. 3. High flow...

I'm abandoning my old thread (My new 347), as the motor has been an epic fail for many reasons. Against any sane reason, I'm trying again. Post #1 is a thread with all parts for my own records. I'll keep adding to this as I have the time and know what parts are being used. New (Used)...

My particular scenario is that I have evacuated my ac a few times, and left components in the open air for quite a while in between motor removals (Different painful story). I have lost oil each evacuation, and understand its best to change it anyway due to moisture in the oil.. Here's what I...

VroomZoomBoom and I have been talking to Bob on and off. Great guy. I asked if he could make me a drivers side header without the 2 piece joiner in the pipe. Four reasons for this: 1. The header can be easily removed and replaced by just loosening up the front accessory bracket and pulling the...

On with my issue of the moment. OD light flashing, code reads P7081 which is a 1-2 shift error Interestingly enough, even with the od light flashing, shifting feels fine, and the truck seems completely drive-able. What to do? I really don't want to drop the trans, so I decided to do what I...

I felt I'd start a thread to document for myself and possibly help someone else down the road. After struggling with numerous issues with my 347 (interestingly enough, the rear mount turbo's performance has been flawless), James Henson leaving the business, and some other guys here tuning with...

Since you two are on this thread, and its kind of an sct tuning thread of sorts, Im going to do a quick hijack... When you guys tuned load and boost, did you turn off WOT and follow this method of tuning: http://info.efidynotuning.com/scaling.htm 'Scaling tables for BOOST (greater spark...

I've been struggling with overdrive coming and going. In the midst of this, I've been doing all kinds of other things also. Turbo, 347 motor etc. Now, I 'think' I always had a lockup issue as I am totaly amazed at how low the rpm's go when locked up. I'm pretty well convinced its tuning...

Teaser pic. Should ship today. More to come when I get my hands on it. Where's that hard-on Smilie? :eek: Professionally built stock bottom end by Ford Strokers 28oz imbalance crank Wiseco pistons, shooting for around 9.6 to 1 comp. gt40p heads ported (by Thumper) with 1.94/1.54 SS undercut...

I've been noticing that my rpm's on the highway are indicating that my tc isn't locking up all the time. Im not sure whats different as I do the same drive every day, and some days the tc won't lock up. No codes, No head wind, flat......Whats going on? Is this correct? 4pointslow has a...

So, I filled up with gas, and very quickly had stumbling, trans codes, and all 4 o2 sensors firing codes. Immediately, I felt it must be bad gas. I syphoned it out, and refilled. Within 2 miles the truck ran great. I was sure it was the gas. 2 days later its coming back, intermittently...

As we are bumping performance on our Explorers, were dreaming of a knock sensor that would work with the stock pcm. So, What about the 1996 F-150? It has a knock sensor, and I started wondering how close the PCM is. My guess is that its pretty close. The knock sensor is located at the...

Ok boys, who remembers their math? I've been trying to sort out my analog equation for my AEM digital boost gauge. What I have been looking at is this...

Im not sure where to post this, or even the forum rules, but this does deserve special mention. When I bought my truck, it had a FK-35 fan controller on it. Due to how it was mounted, I ended up breaking off a couple of pins that the thermostat connector mounts to. Clearly my fault. I...

A manififod bolt broke flush with the head. Now, I have a broken manifold bolt in the head with a broken easy out in it. Both flush to the head. I have a feeling this is way over my head. Anyone have any other thoughts other than 'Pull the head'? The good news is that its easy to get...

Boy hits Curb. Curb fights back. Broken aluminum rim, Spindle bent, Lower control arm bent. The bearing is probably bad also. over $1300.00 for the alignment shop to do the work. I figured about $600 for me to do it. $600.00 is still a fair amount of cash to a 18 year old. Maybe, just...

Vroomzoomboom has collected the parts for me to do a 4406 swap on my 2000 Limited. Tim's had the 4406 pulled apart and checked over for me. Tim pulled everything out an F-150 for me, including the wiring pigtail and shift linkage. This coming Friday night is 4406 install time! The following...

I kinda weenied out and paid a pro to do this for me. Really, after pricing out the materials against having it done for me, it made sense. There was also the risk of making a bad cut, or ruining them some other way. 55watt hid's with the low/high solenoid. High quality parts used...

It seems the more questions I ask, the more I am finding everyone is living with a front drive shaft vibration of varying degree's. It seems that even the 1st gen drive shaft double cardigan with adapter vibrates at higher speeds....I thought this was the fix. I guess not. I drive daily...

EDIT: SEE POST 22 OF THIS THREAD FOR EXACT ITEMS USED. Ive been working with AHodges, making a mess of his 5.0 rebuild thread, so I figured I better make my own and clean up the mess Ive made on his side. I am slowly getting ready to go turbo, and saw that the stock fuel lines could not...

A quick question on where the shift interlock solenoid is that prevents you from shifting out of park is. Randomly, I can't shift out of park after starting my truck. Yes, I have my foot on the brake, and the brake lights come on. So, where is the interlock? It must be a solenoid that's...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the cruise control circuit? My new (to me) explorer's cruise control does not work. All other electronics work great. There is no cruise light coming on in the instrument cluster, so it could be as easy as a fuse, although I'd think a fuse would affect...

Well guys, I don't even have it yet and I'm looking at going turbo. I think I'll be going STS style with the turbo underneath the the body. I'm hoping I can find room somewhere closer to the front to mount it. If not, I may just go classic style and cut the muffler out and install the turbo...

I figured I better start a new thread, as my old thread goes on forever detailing my 4.0 ohv M90 install, motor rebuild (Funny thing about that), etc. Here's the original thread that brought me to this point: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345617 The issue I am...

Hi Guys, Im fighting a P0455 code. I have replaced my gas filler neck and gas cap. This didn't fix the issue. The code seems to come back when my gas tank is about half full every time(Im not sure if this has anything to do with it). Unfortunately I know very little about how this...

Im just curious if anyone has done this. The 4R70w seems so much stronger. Search button didn't give any results, and that surprised me. BrooklynBay suggested there might be an adapter kit to physically mate the 4R70w to the 4.0 ohv, but that's all I could find. I'm just thinking ahead as...

Im replacing the fluid in my rear limited slip diff. Using Amsoil SEVERE GEAR 75W-140 Synthetic EP Lubricant. On their site they don't say anything about adding the friction modifier. My question is, Should I pick up a bottle of it and add it when I change the fluid? My instinct is to add...

So, my low compression cylinder that was made a bit better with a head rebuild is giving me issues again. Random cyl #2 misfires, and shaky motor. Im leaving power on the table and lower gas mileage. Im sure the forced induction didn't help my rings any either. I've almost talked myself in...

I seem to have lost something electrical. I have done the brown wire mod, and everything was working great. I then noticed I didn't have low anymore. I did have some electrical issues blowing fuses to my pcm on the weekens (Wire grounding at the coil pack that shouldnt be). I figured the...

I'm not finding the answer on the forum. Why are more guys not going with the P265/75r15's? As far as I can tell, the P265's are narrower, and would be better traction for winter. Not as much summer traction though. Also, the load capacity of the P265's seems higher. I'd think with...

2000 OHV + rpcaster + henson performance = another supercharged 4.0 ohv Explorer I have goodies from James already (New MAF, 36lb injectors, wideband O2 for tuning) Here's what came from Ron (Also a fuel pressure gauge and boost/vacuum gauge)

Not wanting to pollute any threads, I thought I'd see if anyone has suggestions for inexpensive Wideband o2 sensors and gauge. Boost kinda falls in to this also. I need a wideband that has analog 0-5v output so it can be wired to an sct device as part of datalogging. I think this one will do...

Anyone want any? I know a guy that is going to make a run of them. I'm not a dealer, or am I making a dime off this. I'm guessing this is a one shot deal. $30.00 + Shipping. They are rumoured to help with valve train noise, and give a little less resistance to the moving rockers. I...

Im looking for help here as all threeads pertaining to this kind of trail off without any real answers. I was sitting at a stop light, and my motor started shaking. Higher rpm's seem to be fine. Check ingine pops up. My reader gave me P0303, Cyl 3 misfire. Ok, thats the cylinder on the...

This is odd. I hear a slight clunking when I apply my brakes. clunk, clunk, clunk..... Front end feels ok when driving. Drives straight, and feels tight. Im thinking wheel bearing? Its a 4x4. The clunking seems slightly less when I am in 4wd. CV joint? Thoughts anyone? Im not even...

Hi Guys, Looking for advice here. Have a look. I don't own a welder. I understand you can use a speciaal 2 part epoxy to bond metal to. Can I get replacement rear panels, or should I form some metal? Both sides will need attention.

Can anyone using the Delta Rockers comment? Im wondering if the inserts not being machined at the same height on all rockers is creating some valvetrain noise that doesnt need to be there. I'd just buy some off Rockauto to replace them with to find out, but they don't carry them anymore...

Ok, Im posting here since Im concerned I might be trashing my torque converter. Some history- I installed new heads, cam, valvetrain...... A week or so later an oil leak started at the rear of the motor. My first thought was that it was the lower intake oil valley. This weekend (as the...
