There doesn't seem to be many good write ups on replacing mechanical parts on these trucks. So I'm starting a thread on the things I've replaced, and how to do it. Feel free to add in. Everything I've done was on an 02 V8 4x4 Eddie Bauer. POWER STEERING PUMP REPLACEMENT You will need...

just did a search, no results. has anyone done a power steering pump on a v8 yet? is it just me or do i have to pull all of my radiator hoses, my front left tire, and maybe pull the pulley while it is still under the hood? need advice please.

I did a search and came up with nothing. I replaced my front passenger side CV boot with one of those cheesy glue together boots from autozone a while back, and it has ripped again. I noticed our CV Joints are relatively inexpensive, and I am wondering if anyone has replaced one yet? I know it...

Hey guys, I'm back and I've got a lifted Explorer again. We did just get a mountain of snow, but I was wheeling up in Milford (where we all met last time we all went wheeling) a week ago and it is looking good. Still all open, still all passable, and still fun as hell. I really think we should...

:fire: Ok guys and gals. You want a good website. Cant blame you. Heres the problem: It cant be done with the current host. Geocities does not alow the use of HTML code on its site. You have to use this generic, crappy website editor from hell to design your site. Believe me, under the...

Well, aparently that Jim guy fell off the face of the earth. I sent him all of the information, and put everything into place to transfer the site to his name on a diferent server. Well, havent heard from him in months, and just noticed that not only am i still paying for our old crappy site...

Ive got a 99, so it has rear disk brakes, and the tiny little drum brakes inside of them for the parking brakes. I had to replace my shoes on the drum brake, as the parking brake didnt work at all. Now, the parking brake works great in reverse, but doesnt hold the truck at all in forward. like...

Sorry guys, but as a President, i do a worse job than Bush, Nixon, and Ford combined. Toss in Clinton too, he was a jackass. I know many of you want to have a well organized club that not only hosts runs, but have many meet and greets aswell. Some of you would like to get together as much as a...

i cant find a re-gearing calculator online anymore, so if someone knows where i could find one, let me know. anyways, im going from stock tires (245/70/16, i think) to 33/12.5/15's. my stock gears are 3.55. what gear ratio, roughly would i need to get it back close to stock? thanks!

ok, my buddy has a 94 toyota pickup, and it died on him driving down the road a few nights ago. it has a 22R (4 banger), and it is a five speed, with no power steering (literally no mechanism). now, after sitting for a few days, it will run, but as soon as you hit the brakes, it will stall...

ok guys, weve been talking about it, and i think it should be done. We need to start our own chapter for us new england guys and gals.... Ive been sending e-mails around attempting to join either ECX, or XtremeXplorers, or whatver its called now for a while, and have gotten few and far...

Well, its been a while, and Ive been getting a lot of PM's asking about another run in New Hampshire, and I have a 4x4 again, so I figure its about time to get another run going. This is plenty of notice for all of you other northeners to take off your running boards, twist those torsion bars...

ok, so ive got a problem. i rolled my ranger a while back. was planning on rebuilding it, but after i tried to put an new radius arm bracket on, i realised how badly bent the frame is. now ive got a 4x4 reg cab 4.0 Auto 97 ranger fully loaded, with a good engine, tranny, rear axle, bed...

ok guys, i rolled my truck, and i miss it. i need to replace the cab, as the roof is caved in, and the whole thing is shifted. I have already confirmed that the frame is streight, so basically im wondering how hard it is to replace the cab. my truck is: 97 4.0 auto reg cab with A/C...

Ok, well, I guess its about time I started my rollover thread. I had a party at my apartment, with a whole bunch of my friends from highschool over. Everybody was drinking and so-forth, but I stopped drinking around 10 because I had to drive my girlfriend home. So, after a few hours of sobering...

We had one hell of a run on November second, and after seeing the pics up in the other thread, a lot of people have expressed a desire to come wheeling up here. Its a good trail because wether your bone stock or lifted with 35's you can have a good time. The next time im going up is November...

Brooklin/Mason NH oct 31st HEY NEW ENGLAND WHEELERS! im trying to get a run together for the november 2nd, and could use your help. show up. im already going with about 5 of my buddies, but i figured id throw this up in the air to see if anyone else wanted to tag along. the trails arent too...

ok, on my work van (1997 2500 dodge with a 3.9l V6), the blower only works at top speed, and sometimes doesnt work at all. i pulled the motor out, cleaned it with electric motor cleaner, and put it back in. then i pulled the switch, and metered it out to make sure all of the contacts are working...

yeah, so my explorer finally had too many problmes for me to fix it, so i just gave up. The dealership offered me 0 dollars for a trade on the explorer, so it is now sitting in my front yard doing what it does best. Leaking Tranny fluid and not being driven. yeah, so i got a 1997 XLT Regular Cab...

ok, i did a backyard k&n airfilter setup today with some pvc pipe from home depot and a k&n clamp on cone filter. there are 2 vaccum lines attached to the back of the stock airbox, which i just disconnected and plugged. it ran fine for about 1/4 mile, then acted asif it wasnt getting anywhere...

ok guys, i just went up and test drove a brand new Jeep TJ SE, 4cyl, 5 speed, with no carpet, radio, or rear seat. it is 15,000 brand new with no mileage and plenty of warranty. im about to go back up and see how much my payments would be if i pick it up. My poor explorer is in a need of masive...

alright, my boss has a 1997 dodge 2500 with the 3.9 litre six cylinder. when the motor is cold, it will not start. period. it will crank and crank like hell, and you can smell it flooding itself. i emptied half a can of starting fluid into it today just to get it to run, and for the first 20...

good to see a masshole joining the ranks of the elite explorers dude! weve got to go wheeling sometime soon!

My radius arm bushings are about to fall out, and ive decided to replace them before my entire front axle breaks off. i did a search and discovered that there are 2 methods to replacing them, either cut off the mounts from the frame where the arms connect to the truck, or pull the coil springs...
