    98 Eddie Bauer issues and things to look for

    I'm not planning on paying $1800 for this vehicle. Just trying to familiarize myself with the issues that come with this model year before I look at this vehicle or if I look at this vehicle. As I already said I know the issues and problems associated with owning a 94 XLT. I'm just not familiar...

    98 Eddie Bauer issues and things to look for

    I own a 94 XLT, and have become very familiar with the issues involved. I bought this vehicle in 2010 and she is still going. Complete top half rebuild with new comp cam, longer hardened push rods, all the things the 4.0 needed to help it out. Manual tranny swap, lift, lots of work done over the...

    Cruise Control Failed

    My cruise would work some days and some it wouldn't. There is a module, I think it is called the cruise control amp. Open your glove box, squeeze the tabs in at the top so it will drop down out of the way. On my '94, there will be a green box mounted inside and above the glove box opening. This...

    Solder joints on 1st Gen components

    Howdy. It has been awhile since I have posted. I would like to give thanks to our forum for all the help I have gotten in solving a lot of my issues. My first Gen is far from perfect, but I still love giving it TLC. As anybody that owns one knows, these vehicles have issues. But they are also...

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    Issue to think about for today is, while trying to set the cam synchro it was put in and taken out many times. Each time the oil pump drive shaft would try to come out with it. On the last try. it finally did. After looking at my manuals last night to get my game plan for today, I noticed that...

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    Alrighty, here is what I did, hopefully, solve this. After trying several times to get it to slide all the way down and fully seated, I put it in with the teeth of the synchro and cam meshing and held the synchro down with left hand while rotating crank with right until it dropped in. I couldn't...

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    Here is my chore for the day. Putting the camshaft synchronizer in. The issue that has fallen on me is, when you remove the synchronizer the manuals tell you not to move it from TDC until reinstalled. However, it has been moved while degreeing the cam. Now the oil pump drive shaft is not lining...

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    Sorry for not getting back quicker. I didn't mean that Comp wasn't making the cam anymore. What I meant was Comp said that at the time they were out of the stock that they turn the cam from. They were waiting for it to come in before they could make one. I did receive the cam on 4-4-15. I have...

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    So I emailed Summit to see where my cam is. They are telling me that after contacting CompCams that Comp does not have the cam or the cam stock to make one. Thanks. I ordered this part on 2-13-15 and they let me hang for this long. Any answers for a similar cam?

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    Here is some food for thought. Below are a side by side of heads. The ones on the left are the King Cylinder heads advertised as 90TM-93TM castings. The ones on the right are true Ford 93TM castings as told by the casting stamp. Look at the difference in the combustion chambers. Closer...

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    Mr. Cribb I replaced my heads about 2 or 3 years ago with a set from King Cylinder Heads. I don't think they are cracked I believe I just lost part of the gasket. My replacement gaskets will be the severe duty FelPros this time around.

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    I've already gotten the rockers from RockAuto. They all looked alright. I have already disassembled, cleaned and reassembled the rocker shafts.

    4.0 Pushrod Top Half Rebuild Q&A

    I know this is something that has been addressed many times. The 4.0 pushrod top half. After losing a head gasket recently, the top is getting some work done. I have had this 94 XLT for about five years now and have put quite a bit of money into it. It is one of my favorite hobbies. Every year...

    I have just received my"Hyperflex Master Kit" 4.18102 bushing set, but I have lots I want to do. Complete suspension overhaul is on my mind. Would like to kill all the birds with one stone. Rust, that is starting to become a priority, Ideas? Suspension, beefier, but not over the top. Steering...

    Cam position sensor

    yes. I saw the link and I appreciate it. When I had looked for them before I had a hard time finding them. I was not aware that a newer one would work. Mine has the angled electrical connection and I wasn't sure if the straight connection would work. So is the way of keeping up with this site. I...

    Cam position sensor

    I've always had a miss in mine. My story is when I replaced the heads a couple of years ago. Climbing around on top the motor putting it all back together I was looking for a place to put my hand. Found a place and then I felt something snap. Got to looking and I my 220 lbs had managed to snap...

    Reviving my suspension, would like some back up.

    I just got through with converting my steering shaft, the binding my lift was causing kept it from returning to center when you turned. It was such a pain in my tater. Glad I did it. Most of the slop is gone and now when you turn you can let go and let it come back to you. Still want to do a...

    How to: Aftermarket Steering Shaft Installation

    I just checked on dufftuff.com and they list the Borgeson 3/4-36x3/4DD at $68 and the 1"DDx1"DD at $68. The only shaft they show on their web page is Flaming River at $117. Thought this additional info might help a little more.

    How to: Aftermarket Steering Shaft Installation

    Thanks, Maniak. My steering play had gotten to the point that it was scary especially on a windy day. The price was still a little high for a steering shaft, but I didn't want to go with used parts. I was really surprised at how much it changed the steering. When I drove the Ex to work the next...

    How to: Aftermarket Steering Shaft Installation

    Look, a new steering shaft is formed. When I put the new shaft on, I put the splined end on first (which took a little effort because of the grime build up on the splined gear shaft) I had to loosen the 1"DDx1"DD universal up before it would slide over the steering shaft.

    How to: Aftermarket Steering Shaft Installation

    This is my version of a new steering shaft how-to. I put a 3" body lift and 32's on my Explorer in April and have had binding issues since. Before the lift and bigger tires, I had a lot of slop in my steering. Already replaced my steering gear last year. I do need to replace a lot of other...

    All kinds of new sounds

    Finished putting her back together. With my wife's help, bled the slave and bled the slave. My reason for doing so is the pedal is a lot softer than it was before. Took her for a ride. Everything is good. The tranny is even a little quieter than it was before the teeth came off the cluster. The...

    All kinds of new sounds

    Got my new countershaft in on Monday. Disassembled the tranny, put in new gear, cleaned everything else inside the tranny to remove any metal leftovers from the missing teeth. Reassembled. Also replaced pilot bearing and slave/throwout assembly while I was at it. Now have the tranny back in the...
