Re: Don't dump the X 2k dollars in labor for a truck i've ALREADY DUMPED ALMOST 9 GRAND INTO? with a resale value of 4500 dollars? your joking right? sometimes you accept a lemon for a lemon, and move on.

i must agree.. most mechanics are lazy *****es, who do awful jobs, break stuff, and charge ya.. i just had a radiator flush cuz i was out of town.. next thing you know, siezed head gasket due to a radiator blowout... goodbye explorer. hello s-10.

rolled a 99 ford ranger extended.. after being broad sided by a 2000 excursion with a deer slayer... almost didnt walk away from that one... be smart with your car.. its not a toy.. you really COULD hurt someone. slow and low.. thats my motto.. haha.. or slow and off road smashin stuff...

uh oh.. hah.. might be changing my mind on this 4x4 to 2x4 swap... cuz i might have found a cheaper project pickup to work on for a "toy"...

HEY!! I'M LOOKING TO DO THAT SWAP.. we could swap stuff.. sound cool??? where are you from??? im going from 4x4 to 2x4 for suspension reasons.. i wanna lay frame..

im doing the 2wd swap soon.. prolly spring break.. when im done i'll have a TON of pics, and it will be throughly documented... this is the essential plan.. unless something happens where i decide not to swap out... keep in touch with me and i'll let ya know whats happening... going to do a 5.0...

yeah its ball joints.. put the front end of your truck up in the air.. try to move the tires up and down.. if there is ANY movement then your ball joints are bad.. get moog greasable.. then you wont have to worry anymore.. :)

they screech when i go over bumps.. haha.. even at super slow speeds.

trans is brand new under warranty still.. so its FREE!! weee.. only 2300 dollar fee about 2 months ago, and STILL in the shop.. haha.

$915 dollars for new ball joints, and the upper controll arm. WHOO ****ING HOO... not to mention i need a TON more work.. like the rear doors fixed so they open again *why does this happen to explorers??* need some light engine work too.. so yeah.. then its just running... not included are...

well yeah.. it slips.. like.. i press the gas... i hear it "going" but no tire movement... the truck takes a few seconds to kick into overdrive when i punch it.. read another thread like that and they said the throttle cable was loose... somthing about a zip tie helping it get full throttle...

to the top!

the worst part is i cant search for 3 letter words.. so when i want to find info on a pcv valve.. NO GO.. when i want to find out about a mas.. NO GO... that frustrates me.

ok.. the trans is ALREADY slipping after 3k miles.. so i need to take it back.. i just noted that there is 1 liter too much of trans fluid in there too... so thats no good.. also.. i had mentioned it previously but my truck wont top 80 mph very easily, the thing must be FLOORED... so.. what...

well.. as unpopular as it is, the idea is for me to "slam it" so it can lay frame.. well actually lay body.. i am getting an internship at a auto customization shop in ohio and want to bring this as my "project"... it'll get the treatment.. suicide doors *(the rear two)*, air bag suspension...

yeah it's to lower it... i dont know too much about 4x4 but if my truck doesnt have it, it saves me about 400 dollars every six months insurance *(i pay about 2600 every six months)* and the 4x4 isnt any good when i lower it more than 4 inches right? cuz the shaft that goes into it would be at a...

my 4.0 doesnt go higher than 80 without a HUGE strain on the truck.. it BARELY gets there and when it's there it wants to quit bad... i dont know whats wrong as this is a new engine, i think im going to have the o2 sensors replaced, hte spark plugs checked, cuz i just re did them but maybe...

hey im new.. but im looking to swap from 4x4 to 2wd for a "street" truck.. haha.. so if anyone is interested they can have EVERY SINGLE PIECE of my 4x4 mechanics, so long as i dont need it to drive daily.. free of cost, just come take em off!! hah.. no seriously though.. is it hard to swap...

hi im new to the forum and i'm VERY interested in this thread.. as im looking to rid myself of this painful 160 hp v6 that is just a piece of crap. i was thinking a 302 swap, but i dont know if its feasable for my knowledge level.. and i want to change from 4x4 to 2wd.. so i can lower the...
