I have swapped a 5.0 into my 94 Sport with a M5ODR2 and attempted to used the existing master cylinder and slave that worked fine with the 4.0. It seems that the slave cylinder is not moving quite enough to disengage the clutch after bleeding it many times with different methods. Before I...
This is actually in a 99 Ranger with the 5.0 swap. I have checked fuel pressure and it seems to be slow to build but stays in 55 psi range even while the engine is sputtering out. My first thought was fuel pump but I should see the pressure drop off, correct? With the MAF disconnected it...
Does anyone have the Ford part number for the Block plate (engine plate, starter plate, whatever it is called) for the 4.2 M5ODR2? I didn't think to get it from the salvage yard I got the tranny from and they won't answer the phone now. I have found the automatic version on Tascaparts.com but...
Does anyone have a good wiring diagram for the 1994 Sport? Helm doesn't list this old of a vehicle, Haynes diagrams are too vague. I have found one online but it does a poor job of showing what connectors are what. I am working on a V8 swap and merging with a 97 5.0 harness, I am sure all the...
I bought this Mountaineer from a junk yard a few years ago with the intent of just using the engine and tranny, but since then my son has turned 16 and we are trying to make it driveable for him. It currently has a long list of DTCs and runs horrible, no power. Below is a list of the codes I...
I am working a my brother in laws BII that is currently 2wd, converting to 4wd. I am in need of D35 beams, knuckles, spindles, axles, hubs. If anyone has these parts near Indianapolis please let me know. Please email matt@newstylecustoms.com
Thanks
I am having trouble tracking down an answer after much searching. Does anyone have info on exactly what is needed to make get an EEC-V 5.0 running. I ask because I am considering swapping the existing EEC-IV (Thunderbird) computer and harness that is currently installed for a 97 Explorer...
I think i know the answer to this already but thought i would ask anyway since i have no way to measure myself. Is it possible to fit a np205/doubler with a stock gas tank? Or maybe with a two-door tank? I have not yet located a 4406, but have found a 205 cheap but don't like the weight or gear...

2004 Ranger 4.0L SOHC engine for sale $450 obo. Approx. 120k miles. Is currently installed in my 99 Explorer which I am starting the process of parting out. Runs great no problems. I have the 99 intake manifold installed on it but would include both...
BW1354 Manual Shift transfer case for sale $180. I have been using it since 2012 in my 99 Explorer that I am now parting out. Includes linkage that has been modified to work with Explorer center console. Mileage is unknown, works perfectly. I have put around 32k miles on it with no problems...
I am having a hard time keeping all the different transfer cases straight. I am considering swapping to a 5.0/4r70w combo and need a manual t-case to go with it. I would prefer fixed flange on the rear output and a yoke on the front like my current 1354, is there a bolt on t-case like this?
I am just looking for confirmation of what I think happened to my transmission. A few days when shifting revs climbed abnormally high, I let off, not sure how fast I was going. After that I have no overdrive. I don't have any transmission related codes being thrown. I assume that I now have...
I am curious about swapping in a 5.0 into my 99. I have installed a TTB D44 and no longer have upper control arms to deal with. Would this change what headers I could install if I did the swap. I don't have access to any 5.0 trucks to look at for comparison. This may have been covered but my...
I have a 2004 Ranger 4.0 in my Explorer, last weekend I replaced the entire thermostat housing and sensors. It is not leaking nearly as bad as it was, there used to be a puddle of coolant in the valley. Now the valley is dry so I don't think any coolant is leaking from the housing or sensors...
My transmission was rebuilt last spring by a professional and has a rebuilt valve body installed. It has recently starting slipping slightly on the 4-5 shift. He stated that it could be the solenoid that controls that shift. I am not seeing any problems with the 1-2 shift or any other (he...
I just installed a Procomp long add a leaf and don't like the ride (harsh) I have heard nothing but good things about Deaver leaves but they don't currently list a part number for explorers on there site. Anyone know what part number might be a good fit for approx two inch lift since I plan to...
I had an incident on my way home form work today after a short full throttle acceleration, my truck (99 Explorer 4.0 SOHC from a 2004 Ranger) died and would not start again for about three minutes. I am not very familiar with obd codes or how to best interpret them. My only tool to retrieve the...
I am considering building a steering system for my truck that will use the original steering rack but not sure about how strong it really is. During the TTB conversion I used a steering box from a 94 Ranger and it is functional, drive it everyday, but I have never been happy with the way the...
I just finished installing an 04 Ranger engine in my 99 Explorer(all the wiring is from the 99), runs great. However the alternator is not charging properly. It never puts out above 12.5V so when I checked voltage at the battery running it was 12.5 engine off it was 12.4V. Before I pull the...

Good on Superlift 4" lift leaf springs ($74 each) deal I thought I would pass along, I ordered a set last week. By far the least expensive I have found these for and since they are the only 4" lift spring I have found for the Explorer sounds like...
Has anyone tried and Bluetooth ELM327 OBDII readers on explorers? I just bought one and it won't work with my Mercury Monterey and haven't tried it on the Explorer since the it has a dead battery. Just curious if any will work.
I am in the market for another Explorer project, looking for a 5 speed truck(shouldn't have sold the one I used to have). Please let me know if you know of any for sale.
Thanks
A few weeks ago while backing up it felt like I ran into something, nothing there and no reverse after that. After reading some threads it appears that the reverse band has broken since there is no engine braking in manual first gear either. All forward gears work properly. I know this will...
