    Gear Swap - Mesh Pattern Critique

    Swapping gears in a Dana Super 50 from 3.73 to 4.10's The pinion is at proper preload, and backlash is correct, but the crush sleeve has not been installed yet. I feel to get the perfect pattern, it should go forward maybe 0.001-0.002 inches, but is it worth the hassle on the front axle?

    How do I tow a lifted B2 without a rear sway bar? Controlling for Body Roll

    I have a Bronco II, lifted 6 inches with an 8.8" axle installed on it. When building the axle, I had to remove the stock sway bar mounting points to make space for the new spring perches for the B2. I haven't found replacement perches yet, so the B2 doesn't have a rear sway bar on it, which...

    Slave Cylinder repair?

    My sister is one of the very lucky people to have purchased a 2002 4 door Exploder with the M5R4 transmission - 1 in 1000 made. I've gotten the clutch resurfaced and now I need to make sure the slave cylinder is reliable enough to put back into the truck. Is there a way I can rebuild the...

    Wheels locked up on my drive home

    To start off, for about a week, I had a "squeeking" sound coming from my Ex, that would increase/decrease with vehicle speed, but wouldn't match it. At about 10 mph, the "squeek" would happen about once a second, at about 35 mph, 2-3 times a second, and I wouldn't be able to hear it over 45...

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice on finding out what might be wrong with my Explorer. She had been sitting for the past couple months waiting for a replacement lower intake manifold gasket. I just got her running 3 days ago, and ran great. Late in the 2nd day of...

    TTB pivot bracket removal question

    I am midway through installing a skyjacker lift on my 88 B2, and I have come to the point where I am to drop the passenger side pivot bracket for the front axle. I ground the rivets flat, then drilled them. Due to the size of my drill and the inability to get a good approach angle to the rivets...

    '94 - Coolant leak on Pass side

    I've done some poking around, and haven't found the answer to my question. My rig has been running fine for some time, but just recently, it's been peeing coolant on the floor of my garage from the passenger's side, dripping down the pass side inner fender well. It wouldn't leak until after...

    Will you help me understand my emissions test?

    I failed emissions the other day, and I was wondering if you all could help me understand these. I've done some reading here, and from other threads changed my O2 sensors and my DPFE (EGR). I changed the DPFE, after doing tests, cus I got a code for the EGR not closing. When I first saw...

    M5OD swap on Ltd- CPP wiring problem

    I've spent a fair amount of time searching for this question, and haven't found it anywhere, so if you could help, it'd be much appreciated. I'm looking for the wires that are needed to connect my CPP sensor into under my dash, and I can't find them. Would these wires be possibly routed...

    OHV 4.0L - Cylinder 1 acting weird

    So I got my new heads installed, new head gaskets, all the works. Now the engine's running, but on my preliminary diagnostics cylinder 1 isn't working right. It looks like there is spark in the cylinder, but when I pull that wire from from the coil, there's no change in the way the engine...

    Unseated Valves

    I figured I'd make a post about my discovery today. Last week, I had finally put my engine back together and turned the key (after finally remembering about my unplugged inertia switch) only to have cylinder 3 missing. Pulled codes, nothing. Ran seafoam through the intake, no better. Wound...
