Hello all, I am taking off my front driveshaft to diagnose a clunking i am getting, and i got all of the bolts off but the darn shaft won't pop away from the front diff. I am assuming it just pops out... it was pretty caked up with gunk and rust at first so i sprayed some PB blaster on it, but...

The chain in my transfercase is stretched again. Are all bw1354's out of Rangers of 1st Gen Explorers interchangable when it comes to the chain? I'm thinking of buying a cheapo bw1354 case and swapping the chain into my transfercase. It's the 2nd transfercase that the chain has stretched...

I've been searching about this topic for a while now and have gotten some information about it, but a lot of the responses are old. It seems as if the chain or the clutch on my 1354 Electric has gone bad. 2wd works fine, and I can shift in to hi and lo without any problems, but whenever I...

Here's the deal, ever since I went through my first mud puddle, my transmission/torque converter has been acting funny. Whenever I make a 90 degree turn, it will slip in first gear to 3k and then slip back into gear and everything is fine. Now whenever I drive through like a mud puddle or...

I'm on the verge of deciding whether or not im going to sell my X, depending on how strong it is right now. The reason im asking this is because i've had the front half the frame cut and a new one welded in the fix a big bend after crashing it. its only 2wd, so i was planning on getting a...

I finally got my X back today. 2 months, 6500 insurance dollars, and a new front half of the chassis later, my truck is finally finished. This is what it looked like after i hit 2 concrete planters going about 40mph. i hit these to avoid crashing into an old lady who ran a stopsign. the...
