    Cant decide what to do with my broken Explorer

    Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'm getting the 70k mile 5.0 for $450. Hopefully ill get some of my money back pulling and selling the GT40P heads and intake I have now. I think I will try a rebuilt or used TC. If that doesn't fix the shudderring I think I will drive it as is until I...

    Cant decide what to do with my broken Explorer

    Well I thought about a different trans because the one in it has been shudderring going into OD. If I'm replace the motor I'd do the trans at the same time. The gears aren't giving me any problems so that would have been a last resort, although an effective one. The EX is supposed to be me...

    Cant decide what to do with my broken Explorer

    I put this in the modification section because if I keep my EX is will be modified. My 2000 Limited needs a new drivetrain basically. Most importantly, I need to reach 25mpg highway in a 4 door Explorer. I no it will not be easy but its required to keep the truck I love. The motor...

    Transmission replacement/upgrade

    Im quite certain a transmission replacement is in my future. I will most likely install a used trans myself to save money but Im wondering if there might be a better option from a different application. I drive alot on the highway and was thinking maybe a trans from a F150 or even a van could...

    Can I use this Superchip on my Explorer???

    I have an old Superchip tuned for my 99 GT years ago. Although they are entirely different vehicles, I wonder if it could be flashed for my 00 Explorer 5.0??? Superchips I believe is what SCT used to be called, are there reputable tuners for Explorers? I used to read hear alot and it...

    Box and subs under rear seat??

    I have a 2000 limited 4dr. I noticed there is a decent amount of space inder the rear seat. Im not looking for anything crazy but 2 10s or even 8s mounted cleanly and out of sight sounds pretty tempting. I intended on replacing the stock sub with a JL and adding a better amp.at the same...

    No power to ignition

    Yes the fuse holds with the key on and everything works as it should, when I turn to run the fuse pops. The aftermarket remote start was easy to spot compared to the ford stuff, I'm not sure who did the install but everything was installed pretty clean. One of the wires ran to the black wire...

    No power to ignition

    Ok had to wait a few days til I had time to look at it. Replaced fuse 5 and had power to the ignition. Tried to start it and it blew the fuse. I must have overlooked it I did remove a aftermarket remote start system installed by the previous owner, thinking it could be the culprit. I...

    No power to ignition

    What I did was stick my test light to the terminals on the back of the connector while it was plugged in, then I tried the key in different position but could not get any power. As I understood it, atleast one of the terminals should have power at all times.. Thanks for your help, sure its...

    No power to ignition

    Thanks fellas... there is power to the distribution block under the hood and the fuses were all good. I thought about pats and the theft light is the only light in the dash that lights up. However it flashes the same way with the key turned to the on position as it does when the key is off...

    Wont start, need help...

    Got a 2000 limited 5.0. Ran out for awhile, stopped home for ten minutes, came out and it was dead. Turned the key forward and it doesn't crank, the fuel pump doesn't run. The dash board does not light up but the theft light links as it normally does. Battery seems newer, and tried the...

    2000 Limited 5.0 no power with key on..

    Anybody ?? Finally getting started on work on it today, going to charge battery first. A friend who does this stuff for a living seems to think its the ignition switch or the tumbler itself. Don't know how hard it is to replace but hope it doesn't require steering wheel removal like my...

    2000 Limited 5.0 no power with key on..

    My truck is AWD V8.. only had a few months and don't know full history but appears well maintained. Stopped home after a short drive went out an hour later and I have no power with the key in start position, doesn't crank, no power to radio, windows or sunroof. If I turn the key backwards to...

    1986 GT Proj-unk

    T top car.... nice find !!!! My first Mustang was a black 85 GT. I keep it while dreaming about an 87-93, then sold it when I bought a 90 GT. Dont see too many four eye cars anymore, not too mention one with t tops... looks like a keeper.

    Targeting SRT8 Cherokee...

    Wow, thats impressive from a 302 block... i wonder how far the R302 blocks can be stretched ?? They have come down in price on the used market since the BOSS came out. Id love to go that route but im not going to have the coin for high dollar internals. A stock crank, rods and good forged...

    Targeting SRT8 Cherokee...

    I had first dreamed of a 331 or 347 but after reading thru some of the swaps on here, it seems a bit more involved than i thought. Same with the 351, i think the explorer accessory cover is unique so theres no a bolt on solution for accessories for a 351, nor are headers easily available...

    Targeting SRT8 Cherokee...

    I got a 2000 limited AWD 5.0, it moves ok for its size but ive drove a few SRT's (420hp) and thats about the performance id like to have. For cost reasons ive decide to stay with a 306/308 no matter what I do, so a power adder will be required. Im lucky to have friends in the fab/machine...

    Suggestions for $50 or less?

    To me thats like getting $50 off a more expensive part, $50 dont go far. Best bet drop a K&N in the stock airbox and buy some injector cleaner lol Or maybe invest it in your entertainment setup which you probably use everytime you drive.

    2011 f150

    I dont have numbers to back it up but i remember reading the heads were more compact which meant it wasnt quite as wide up top. The valves and cams were moved closer together. I cant post pics from my phone but if you look at the motor without the engine cover you can notice the cams covers...
