The BIIs that I saw all seemed to have a double cardan in the back, single in the front. (but they do run the same U joints so I could add in the double cardan setup from the rear - id just have to get the shaft shortened again) - Im thinking, after looking into it, your 98 ranger setup may...

ive seriously considered that option... just don't know if I wanna spend the money on locking hubs right now

also any autopart store will read the codes for free

1) put new plugs and a thing of lucas/seafoam in it. itd only be ~30$ and a good place to start. Then if you think the alternator is the issue, pull out your volt meter. car running you should be pulling 13.5-14 volts at the battery. If that checks out, then get a $5 can of mass air flow...

******* pack it. go to the junkyard and get another set of leafs from an explorer - just add one or two more - this will be cheaper and give a more comfortable ride - plus youll have a large selection of extra leafs to add as needed

we have an 02 mounty, sohc, with just over 200k and running strong. only thing weve changed is transmission, ball joints, and the water outlet housing

Ok, so in doing my 4x4 conversion I have the factory d35 front end however I could not find a manual shift 1354 t-case ANYWHERE in my budget. I did however grab a 1350 manual shift. I had a spare front driveshaft from a BII that I had shortened 3 inches and balanced at a shop and it all bolts...

look where the hydraulic line goes into the bellhousing. just above that is the bleed screw (itll be covered with a little rubber cap). the slave is inside the bellhousing on these trucks so hopefully you just need to bleed it. get some DOT3 brake fluid, a buddy, and an 8mm or 5/16th wrench...

New performance ball joints! http://www.ttxterraintough.com/ These ball joints are supposed to be built for the stuff we put our trucks through. thicker rubber boots, hardened steel with no plastic bushing in the socket, bigger flange, etc. Im converting my truck to 4x4 (expect a write up...

THANKS! you just answered all my questions about the swap (but brought up another one... didnt think of the uneven force issue.) after reading what you said i may have to just save up for a while and swap tranny w/ t case.... and congrats and goodluck on the SAS! cant wait to see the...

my truck is a 1999 sport 4.0 ohv with the 5spd manual in her. she is also 2wd. i currently dont have the money for a full swap over to 4wd, but would like to slowly start. also i want the ability to use low range when offroad or pulling boats up the ramp etc... so here is my question - will...

my family has two of them - one at 110k and one at 180k - both running strong. but i wouldnt pay 3k for a new tranny... just get a junkyard one with the one month warranty - installed it shouldnt cost more than 1k hopefully others on here who have swapped trannys will chip in ?

love that site - but the question is - what gaskets do i need? even on rock auto it shows three in the picture, yet says upper intake gaskets not included. so will those sets come with three gaskets i need to do the job? or are there others ill need to buy as well (and thanks for the...

im going to be replacing my valve cover gaskets (oil leaking...) and i know ill need to take off the intake plenum to get the things off (thankyou ford engineers for making things difficult.). heres the problem - oreilly, autozone, napa, etc - when i look up valve cover gaskets the pictures show...

I think my bumper could take out a few zombies... when zombie appocalypse comes ill have the Atlanta area covered

nice to see another 2wd sport with a manual tranny out there having fun! gotta love em. its amazing what you can put a stock 2wd open diff through.

alright heres the final product! took a little bit of work to make it fit, but im happy with how it turned out :) plus the way the tire sits it doesnt block the rear window too much so i can still see out! for skyjumper - it has a pin with notches in it that it slides onto and it latches to it...

first link shows exactly what i found :thumbsup: last night i started hacking and welding the bracket to the hitch -im hoping to finish this afternoon! will post pics when done

i know! i saw it and figured id pay around thirty or so for it... but when i checked out it came up to $9.85 american! gotta love pull-a-part

today in the junkyard i found this beauty... its a tire swingout that bolts to the frame where the hitch bolts on and also to the back bumper in two places. thing seems extremely well built and is heavy guage steel. i know its off a GM, but this weekend im going to do some fabricating and see if...

sounds good! the only thing id say is you might want to look into a 2'' BL instead of 3''. im not sure what models/years etc but i know on some explorers a 2inch body lift is just body spacers and relocate the fan shrowd but once you go up to 3inches it also requires an extension for the...

sorry if my post sounded negative, was just trying to give you a heads up (trust me... ive had ideas before and that "oh sh** moment where you realize it wont work always sucks :rolleyes: ) but looking at those pics - i cant wait to see what you turn the X into! looks like you have a taste...

your ex is torsion bar front end - not coil spring - so im confused as to how you plan on adding coil spacers and coil springs? also 35s on stock gears might be pushing it - so you gotta throw in extra $for a re gear to push that size tire. also a torsion twist to clear 35s would be stiff beyond...

the rubber wasnt completely split, but it was sagging alot. i could push up on the transmission and move i up about an inch and a half by hand and when i took it off the old mount had alot of play when compared to the new one.
