    03 V-8 keeps stalling

    03 Eddie Bauer V-8 keeps stalling at low speed after warmup. No codes. It's my 85 yo Mom's car so I drove it about 35 mi then hooked it up to a charger and added a can of SeaFoam. Spitwadding mostly. Stalls only when driving. Starts up OK after stall, runs awhile, then stalls again at low...

    Mr. Gasket thermostat?

    I just received the Mr. Gasket t-stat I ordered to get better coolant flow and more responsivness. I find that the Stant I'm replacing along with the surrounding O-ring has a diameter of 52mm. The Mr. Gasket with the same O-ring is 54mm. Doesn't sound like much but 52 fits perfectly and I...

    Aftermarket speedo driven gears?

    Anyone know of a source for aftermarket speedometer driven gears for altered differential '92 Explorer? My 3.73 had a 19 tooth, I boosted to 4.56 and the largest tooth gear that looked like it would fit at the dealership was a 20. I think I need about 22 or 23. thanks, ------------------ Bob...

    better manifold fm air filter to throttle body?

    I've done a lot of things to increase the intake and discharge on my '92. The bottleneck now is the elliptical shaped plastic tube that takes air from the KKN conical filter to the larger throttle body. Anyone replace this with something larger? Thanks. ------------------ Bob Mulepick@aol.com...

    32x11.5 on '92 w/2" lift?

    I've got a Skyjacker 2" lift on my '92 (bigger springs, helper leafs) and have been running 31x10.5s with no problem. It looks like I could step up to 32x11.5s but I'm wondering if anyone has tried this before I buy. Shouldn't make any difference but I'm running Bushwacker fender flares and...

    Speedo gear help needed quick

    My '92 Explorer with the A4LD is currently running 31x10.5 tires and has just had the diff ratios changed from 3.73 to 4.56. Anyone know how many teeth I need on my replacement speedo gear to get back to normal? Right now I'm going 70 and indicating 80. I know I need more teeth on the...

    '92 only moves in O or D

    My '92 with around 125,000 miles had a good xmission rebuild at 93,000. No relation but I recently had my 3.73 gears changed to 4.56. At the end of a hard day in the desert, the vehicle, when started, would only move forward in 1 or 2. Neither D or O would work. I detached the linkage and...

    Biggest tire on OEM rims?

    Many interesting posts on the size of tire possible with various lifts but what if one wants to continue using the stock rims? By stock I mean 15x7. Isn't the old rule of thumb "no wider than 2" over wheel width"? I intend to install a 4" Superlift to replace my Skyjacker 2". I'm running...

    New to group- need lift advice

    I have a '92 XLT running a Superlift 2" lift (larger coils and helper leaf) with BFG 10.5x31 on stock wheels. I'm interested in stepping up to a 4" lift with new Pittman arm, new radius arms, and a new leaf stack. I'll find my own brake lines and will go with Edelbrock shocks as I currently...
