SWEET! I was hoping you would chime in. I have read, with great interest, your input on other peoples conversions. And your input here is no different, great information. I am glad to hear that it is just some parts and time needed. Well, isn't that what all mods require. I mean, glad to hear...

OK, been on the hunt for a 2005 explorer but decided that I needed a/c seats. I know, silly reason but I finally have saved enough to buy something for almost $20K and I want what I want. Anyway, in doing some homework to see what would be involved in installing cooled seats in my explorer I...

I really like the silver spoke wheel on the 2001-2003 F150/rangers with the FX4 package. I know it is an 18" on the F150 but I don't think the F150 wheel will fit on the explorer but I understand that the Ranger wheel will. However, I think the Ranger wheel is a 17", isn't it? REALLY like the...

Anyone attempted this mod? Could you order the Exploder with it? I sold my last Exploder a long time ago and moved up to F150's but it is time to down size. Got my eye on a 40K mile '05 Bauer V8. My wife's Expy seats are nice and I sweat on leather and what not so I just thought I'd ask. Ps...

Going to look at a 1997 v8 awd xlt with 129K miles in the next couple of days. What, if any, should I keep an eye out for? This is supposed to be a nice one owner, no paint work 97 but we'll see. They are asking $4990.00, what do you guys think? Thanks for the advice, Chad

Yea, it has a slight chatter when you let out the pedal. Not bad but just enough to notice. I'm sure it has hot spots all over it. I'm going to do the clutch myself again. Do you think someone at my local Ford dealer would know this? Chad

I have a '94 Sport with 229,000 miles on it. It is well over due for its 2nd clutch. It doesn't really need the clutch but it is giving me trouble shifting into gears again. I hate this damned throw out bearing! Anyway, my question is.......how many times can a fly wheel be resurfaced? I had it...

Just double check these items: Plug wires and plugs. Mine started stumbling like that when a plug wire was breaking down. I replaced it and got another 40K miles before it began to do it again. Was intermittent as hell. Really hard to diagnose. Did seem to be weather related, but more so, load...

I'm in the market for a new X. I would like a basic 4door no frills automatic explorer. What should I have to pay for one? I'm in GA but if I can save by buying somewhere else, I'll do it. What did you guys pay for yours. I want the best deal I can get, of course. I know MSRP is about 27K and...

I think my truck is doing the same thing. I put new pads and rotors, packed the bearings but ever since then sometimes when I press the brake pedal the ABS kicks on. Under completely normal braking conditions when it should stop with out any abs assist they just come on. I can pump the pedal a...

James? I tried to email you back but it came back as undeliverable due to my return email address? Chad

Thanks for the info guys, BonesDT and xploda01, I SHOULD be ready in just a couple of weeks to start taking mine apart. With "should" being the stressed word. I am trying to get my Miata sorted out so I will have something to drive while I am down. My problem is that I am using a friends...

Alright everyone, I hope you are sitting down for this............. I want to get rid of my 5sp and make it an automatic! I know the auto trannies suck but so does the 5speed throw out bearings. The darn thing doesn't shift worth a crap. I used all new Ford parts on the last clutch job and...

215K and counting. Doesn't smoke, knock, or clap. Just change the oil every now and then. Always used the cheap stuff unless I could afford something better but never any additives. I wish I could find a link for you guys, I remember some test that Consumer Reports did years ago on oil. If I...

Mbrooks, Just so I have this right, you broke youre T-case with a 6cly Xploder? :eek: Now all of a sudden I am thinking that there is no way that T-case will hold up to a V8? Just how in the world did you break yours? Chad

That's cool. I'm not planning on any where close to 400 HP. Would like to see some big torque numbers though. I was looking at some xploders on Ebay and on the dash of one of them it had a knob for "auto" "High range" and "low range" It was a 6 cly truck but is that what you are going to...

Section525, What is the torque capasity of that 6cly transfer case? Have you had a chance to really torture yours? How'd it do? Do you know off hand what other manufactures might be using the same one, like any Jeep vehicles by chance? I figure by the time I am dome adding go fast(and big...

I don need no stinkin AWD! I want true low range, rock crawling, telico ridin' mountian climbing, river crossing 4WD! Maybe even a twin stick Atlas, hey if ya got to convert it why not right? So what you're saying is just get an all wheel drive and do some bolting and wiring! WOOO HOOO...

DARN IT!!!!!! Wouldn't ya know, I finally make up my mind on a 1996+ V8 4WD xploder and Ford doesn't make it! So........What's the best way to go about this, buy a v8 2WD truck and a transfer case, axle, and some wiring OR buy a 4.0 4WD truck and a 5.0 motor? I have read a lot of the sites...

Am I looking for a truck that doesn't exist? What year (s) did the Explorers come with a 5.0? Any of them come with 4WD? My 94 Sport is getting tired at 215K miles and am looking for a replacement. After driving an under powered 2WD 5sp I want a V8(5.0) auto that will go anywhere! So I guess...

Hello all, My truck has been the best truck I have ever owned so I thought it should be known. It is a 1994 sport 4.0, 5 speed. It just turned 215,000 almost maintence free miles. All I have had to do to it is 3 complete tune ups, many front brakes(lifetime warranty pads from Auto Zone), 3...
