    My 92 Sport

    Hi All, it has been a while since I have been around. I sold my lifted 93 explorer several years ago and got to playing with powerstrokes. Recently I have been lingering around, but not that active. I was brought back when I bought a SAS'd 92 explorer that turned out to be plagued by issues from...

    Luk clutch kit

    We just installed a Luk Clutch kit, new flywheel, and a new slave cylinder. After bleeding (4 times now), the clutch is still really soft and the friction point is still just off the floor, less than 1/2 inch.. Any ideas as to why, or the next diagnostics step? Thanks

    92 Explorer Stuck in 4Lo

    Today my step daughter decided to hit the 4wd button, then the 4 lo button several times real fast while driving down the road (She thought we left the t-case wires disconnected, but they weren't) and it shifted (after a long delay) into 4wd but then wouldn't come out. We stopped the truck and...

    Look what fell out of a pickup truck..

    And landed right in my Garage!!!! :confused: :D It's a Dana HP 44 & a 9 inch out of a 78 Bronco. Maybe if I get my other projects finished, I can have them cleaned up, locked and ready to go under by next spring, if not then it will have to wait until fall '07.

    Finally got around to the Rear bumper!

    My friend and I finally finished (about 90% anyhow) the rear bumper for the X. We did it in stages, so it took about 4 days of work total spread out over a month :confused: and about $110 (including paint which isnt on yet). Anyhow here is a picture of the whole bumper and one of the hinge...

    My Axle Wrap Unwrapped

    I have been having axle wrap issues ever since doing the superlift SoA with the 5.5 in Lift. We tried welding the SoA brackets to the factory perches and new leafs, and had no luck. While that did tone it down some, it did not solve the issue. The other suggestion was to get rid of the Superlift...

    Oil Pump upgrades?

    Any one rebuild their own 4.0? Are there any upgrade options (high Volume type) for the oil pump? My motor currently has 155k on it. It does not have any upper end issues as of yet (valve clattering or timing chain clattering or oil burning). However I do have significant oil pressure drop...

    Alternative Driveshaft After Lift MAYBE

    All, This morning I was doing an oil change on both vehicles (97 Exped & 93 Explorer) and noticed they both utilize the same style Front Driveshaft. :eek: Obviously the Expedition's was longer. Has anyone measured to see if it may work on an explorer after a 5"+ lift? I am going to do...

    looking for tranny swap info

    Hi all, I did a search for tran swap info, and couldn't find what I thought I read once. I thought I read about mating a c4/c5 to our 4.0L, was I dreaming? I can't seem to find any reference to it. I found t-5 swaps but that was about it. Does anyone recall this type of swap at all? I...

    Floorboard clunk after lift...

    Hi All, I have a floorboard clunk after the lift. I know exactly where it is, but wondering if this is normal. Its the Rear Driveshaft U Joint (right off the transfercase) hitting the floorboard under hard acelleration. I have replaced the Trans mount thinking it was worn out after 154K miles...
