    4R70W difference questions

    I think at 175000 miles that my tranny is ready for a rebuild. I have a line on a '99 and 2000 4R70W from two AWD Explorers. If I could get one of them cheap enough I would like to buy one to have rebuilt while still being able to drive my X around. Are there any differences in the trannys from...

    F-150 8.8 brake quetion

    On the F-150 that came with the 8.8" rearend (84-96), I'm pretty sure that they all came with drum brakes. Could you take the disc brakes from an Explorer and put them on the F-150 axle, or are the housing ends different? I thought I had read that the Explorer 8.8 tapers at the end and that the...

    4.88's and 31's?

    If I run 4.88's with my 31X10.50's would that cause any negative driving effects or will I be okay for a short time ( a week or two) until I get some 35's on?

    rotating knuckles on D44?

    For those of you who have already done a SAS, or even those who just might know... Did you rotate the inner C knuckles, and if so, how many degrees? Could you also post how much lift over stock you are and what size tire you run? Not too sure if I'll need to angle my pinion up or not. I'm...

    Dana 44 build-up

    Since moving down here to the middle of MO I've gotten back into offroading. I finally paid the X off so now it's time to start some serious mods. I've recently realized that the front gears are shot so I took the plunge and bought an F-250 HP D44. And thanks to ebay, I'm now the owoner of a set...

    Question about carrier

    Is this an open carrier? I'm pretty sure it is but I want to know for sure. Still new to the axle building process and trying to learn as much as I can.

    front axle questions (with pics)

    I just ordered some remanufactured front axles and had a few questions before I install them. The first pic is what I believe to be the axle nut that all of the directions say to replace since it is a one time use nut. Is this correct? The second pic is of the other end, and again what I think...

    It's not that much but it's something. Before 2" lowered on 18's and edlebrock shocks, and after 2" lift springs in rear, TT, rancho 9000X with 31's:

    2" lift parts ?'s

    Since being stationed here at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO the offroad bug has bitten me (along with many other types of bugs that live here - damn mosquitoes). So now my street oriented X will be changing to a trail worthy one. After much searching and reading on this site (especially ld50's and...

    window interchangeability

    I have a window in need of replacement due to a recent break-in. I have a 96 with the mirror tint and would like to have black tint. What I need to know is if the rear door windows and quarter panel windows from a 98-2001 X would fit. I know in late 97 models Ford switched to the black tint,but...

    stretch's elite page

    Well after about a year I finally had the funds to become elite!:cool: I'll use this page to keep a record of any mods I do. For now here's the basics: - 1996 XLT V8 AWD - 3.73 LSD This is as close to a stock pic that I have (completely stock except for the 31's):

    misfiring

    For the last few months I have been getting a CEL sinaling that I have a misfire, usually in cylinders 5 and 8. I have had the spark plugs and wires replaced. I am still pulling the same CEL. Does this sound like it could be the coikl packs? I am not sure when they were replaced last but I have...

    Auburn Supergrip

    I have a '89 Chevy G10 van (1/2 ton, 5 lug wheels) with an open diff in the rear. It has serious traction problems in ALL circumstances. I understand that there is no weight in the back, but even when loaded down, it still spins the tires. I'm thinking of putting a LS in. The one I am looking at...

    component speakers

    Recently I blew on of my door speakers so I was thinking of getting some components. I was just wondering what you recommend. I need something that can be heard clearly over 1200W of bass (2 Kicker Solo Barics).:D I am leaning toward Polk's. Thanks in advance.

    Need help with the enemy!

    I have a 1989 chevy 1/2 ton van that has some serious issues. The van is used for delivering furniture and today I lost two deliveries because of it. Lately I've had a problem with it starting (from both the weather and the battery needing replaced). Today, while trying to jump it, I was...
