    Wont move all of the sudden

    Anyone have any ideas? I am also having the same problem, except my trans fluid is good. Tries to move but will not. 4lo renders a little more movement of course but it does not go. It did it once before and it magically fixed itself, now it is stuck like it is.

    CV Front Prop Shaft Rebuild!!!

    I am not quite sure. I listed their website up above. Maybe give them a call and see whats up. I was told they were out of stock last I knew so not quite sure if they still make them or not. My X is outta commission out of the moment and have not bothered with the front drive shaft yet at all.

    Slipping trans or transfer case...

    Never really got a reply on the original issue but it is now worse. Problem is not it wont move at all. Barely moved ten feet in 4lo. Could this be the transfer case because I ran without the front driveshaft?

    Driveshaft Scraping?

    I had the same problem. Turned out to be my CV joint on the prop shaft. Turning it would make some seriously bad clunking/binding sound if it was 4wd. Huge vibration driving, almost impossible to hear myself think but I had to get it home. This was my first one to go bad, torn boot. My second...

    A Little Help pls

    Usually hard to tell. I say check the torsion bar adjustment bolts. After my TT my driver side bolt was almost all the way in. Passenger was a little bit further out.

    Slipping trans or transfer case...

    I am not a moron, the stubs are in the hubs and torqued right. I just did not really want to explain everything.

    Slipping trans or transfer case...

    So this morning I left work, the roads were wet and I was heavy on the gas spinning my tires because I am young and stupid. I have my front differential, cv axles, and driveshaft removed so it is two wheel drive. 4x4 was in auto setting. After I spun out and got going it acted like the trans was...

    shocking

    Mine rides like a rock! Keeps me awake on the long night drives!

    shocking

    Shocks are just one part. If you want a smoother ride you need a softer suspension. Put four door leaf springs on the rear. Put less stiff torsion bars up front. Remove the sway bar on the front to free the IFS, but that is not recommend if you drive fast or crazy like me.

    2001 Explorer feels like it is bogging down Please Help!!!!

    Any more detail? Does it seem to go down the road with full power? Do you smell some toasty brakes from a seized caliper or parking brake?

    98 Sport issues: 4x4 and sway bar linkage

    I dont believe ABS affects the four wheel drive. My 98 Sport the TC would stop working and flash four high and low lights. I would park it and it would work fine. It has done a it a few times mostly after abusing it. I would call it a glitch.

    If you are thinking of buying Autozone Shackles

    I have the autozone shackles on my X and have not had a problem and I had wheeled it pretty hard. The bolt seems to be the issue. I have no worry about any flex in the shackle unless my entire rear axle kicks one way because the leafs are not going to flex sideways with three mounting points.

    Poor Gas Milage <170 Miles out of a $50tank

    98 Explorer Sports have 16 inch rims. 255/70/16 stock tire. He went to a 265/70/16 which isnt much bigger. I plan to go to a 265/75/16 and expect to have the same mileage or better because of the 4.10 gears. I seem to magically have this problem, but around 12mpg and my front diff is out of the...

    Sway mods that work?

    Well that was a good four years...;) I don't see a rolling problem with the X. I have been full sideways skid on pavement going 35mph before. I was not driving... I was sleeping in the passenger seat and woke to the skidding. I personally have been sideways three times going 45mph on a chatter...

    suspension lift questions

    I just did 4door 4leaf pack with the cheap shackles from auto zone. Between the original sag to now I probably gained 4" and did a TT to level it out. I got my springs for $30 and shackles for $20. Just a warning that the upper shackle bolt will probably be stuck in the frame bushing.

    Sank Explorer, Locks don't work -- What to do?

    Stalled three times... hmm... maybe try a little harder, next time it will hydrolock! I expect the driveline is vented above that water line?

    4x4 high feels like binding up

    My binding was cause by my front prop shaft CV being eaten away because of a torn boot. Just go out and find the prop shaft and wiggle the transfer case side. Should have no play what so ever. When mine was bad it made all sorts of binding and crazy clunking and even squeals... rebuilt and it...

    Vibration When Braking

    I would still rotate the front to the back and see because belts break mostly due to impact, say from a pothole or railroad tracks that are really rough.

    ABS problem 1997 explorer

    Sounds like a bad sensor. Changes its mind when it warms up from the wheel bearing. You can pull a fuse or unhook the abs pump, that way you do not have a stopping problem.

    Vibration When Braking

    Broken belt in a tire up front? Braking puts downward pressure on the front... Just making that up... have no idea for real but it sounds like it make sense.
