I want to update everyone. I bought the idler pulley aftermarket (wanted to save some coin) and of course, Ford has no longer made the bolt that goes through the idler pulley available. HOWEVER, if you buy the pulleys from Ford, they include a bolt. Makes perfect sense right? In any event...

Mmmmmm...pizza....

thanks so much for the help! And thanks for the tip on the bolt haha I hadn't even considered that part yet but yes I will need one of those, too! Is it just a bolt that goes there or is there a lock washer/bushing/anything else I should know about? This would be much easier if the dang thing...

Hi guys, 97 ex sport 4.0 sohc - driving home from work yesterday and all of a sudden a few blocks from my house i get that burning belt smell. As I attempt to pull into a parking lot, i notice my power steering is out! Long story short, popped the hood, found the belt to be completely off...

I am also curious for people's consensus on whether to have the t-case rebuilt or to swap in a unit from somewhere like this: http://www.transfercases.com/order.htm Will the costbe similar? Is there a benefit to having one sent to me from the above place vs. having a transmission shop...

Did this, worked like a charm, thanks alot!

Just did a couple of mine today and didn't use heat but a pipe wrench. Broke it right loose with a little bit of muscle. As long as your not worried about the old sensor getting marred up!

If I am showing my noobness I apologize I am just trying to suck in as much info as possible at this time! Thanks...

Thanks for the link. I went through and did this procedure and found that when I tried to install my driveshaft, it would not spin by hand for me while the truck was off and the front wheels in the air. (step 1) Does this mean my t-case is stuck in the 4wd position even though the dash light is...

so is it unusual for the dash light to toggle on or off from 4x4 when the knob is turned to 4x4 high even with the front drive shaft out? My fluid levels are OK.

I have switched the knob on the dash from 4wd auto to 4wd high both while parked and while moving and in every occasion the light comes on in the cluster "4wd" Even with the front drive shaft removed from the truck.

Hi All, New member to the forums but have been lurking for some time. I joined to search, and unfortunately came up empty. I have a 97 Explorer Sport, v6 SOHC 4.0 - and am currently experiencing a problem with the drive-line. I guess first of all, I have seen so many threads outlining...
