Hello everyone. First post in like a year and I'm happy to be back. I burned out my nasty a4ld in the snow using my ttb as a snow plow back in the woods last winter and just parked the truck and started other projects. Anyways I was worken on a 86 Chevy truck with the 6.2 diesel and that thing...

so i replaced a brake caliper on my 84 ranger and bled out the brakes and im still getting no brake pressure and the caliper i replaced gets so much pressure that even without the brake pedal depressed it stays locked up. any idea what the problem could be? the caliper i put on is from my...

so after reading on the ranger station i found out that i can directly swap my explorers d35 ttb into my 83 ranger. seams like a great idea because i have a 83 ranger with out front brakes and i have a 93 xplorer with no transmission. from what i've read it seams like sine the ttb mounts are...

so my a4ld is shot, overheats fast and when its hot wont move forward unless its in 4low but reverses fine. clutchs burnt out? so now im wondering what to do, should i get a new explorer because i can get decent ones for around 1200$ or should i replace the tranny? im no mechanic but i did...

hello everyone, i know this is a explorer forum but i'll ask anyways, the brakes on my 84 ranger stoped working entirely while i was driving home. first the front pass side siezed up and i didnt notice until the rotor was red hot. then i removed the caliper from the rotor tied it to the top of...

hey there, the tranny in my explorer is pretty much done, i cant seam to solve its major over heating issue. so im thinking about robbing parts from it for my 84 ranger. anyone know if the front brakes (rotors and calipers) will transfer from my explorer to my ranger? also what about the starter...

so my transmission keeps geting really hot. started one day with no previous tranny problems. im hoping to get it fixed and not need a new one so some help trouble shooting the problem would be good. havent changed the tranny oil since i got it but i've only put about 40,000km on it since then...

so my explorer has 3" bl and 4" suspension lift and its scary as hell to do more then about 65-70 kmh so driving on the hwy is out of the question. i havent used sway bars since i lifted so im wondering if people think it will improve hwy driving? or is there anything i can do to make it feal...

so im going to put a more powerfull engine in the explorer and i want a few opinions on some stuff before i start. first off i piked up a really cheap jeep cherokee with a 4 inch lift so i'll be **** boxing it while the explorer is pulled apart so im not to worried about how long it will take...

i did a search about exhaust tubing sizes and what to use and not use and i got mixed results. some people say the engine doesnt require alot of back pressure so having huge pipes wont effect performance while other people say not to go any bigger then 2.5" tubing. my brother said i can have...

so heres a pic of why you dont buy a rough country lift. weird thing is i have the bumpstops on and i havent bottumed out since lifting... have a question too. my temp gauge for the rad i believe keeps saying the temp is really hot but the engine temp gauge doesnt move past the halfway...

so i can get a set of 33/12.5 tsl boggers used with about 70-80% tread for cheap on craigslist so i did a search to see if they would be ok with my 3.73 gears but basicly what i found was just get really low gears for them. i plan on buying some new 35's sometime this summer and i dont wnt to...

i got a new rear axle coming tomorrow from a junk yard vehicle so i can replace mine, so today im working on getting mine out. just wondering what the electrical wire that runs to the top of the rear diff is for? also wondering about the e-brake. to remove the e-brake is it as easy as just...

well i took my explorer out a week ago and broke some stuff lol. i did an soa and put around 1000km on it and then the welds on the new axel pads broke. happened right after doing a burnout on a cattleguard when the tires got traction on the pavement while spinning them across it. but anyways...

so i was doing a bit of searching for a make/model specific turbo for my challenger and i came across a site that does rear remote mount turbos for less then 2000$ that would work with an explorer. just thought i'de through the link out there incase anyone wants to take a look. the mechanical...

hey everyone. i run a big lifted first gen and a buddy wants to buy a 2" suspension lift from me to put in his 97... anyways i know the aal and shackles will work with a 97 but does anyone know if you can use coil spacers on a second gen?

a buddy of mine had the head gasket go in his sploder and isnt going to get it fixed so the truck is up for grabbs. its totaly stock with a near mint interior no rust on doors or fenders and the tranny is in as good of shape as can be expected and it runs stock 410 gears. he wants 400 for the...

the drop brackets for my front sway bars that came in my rough country lift are flat where they mount the frame but my x's frame isnt flat where the swaybar connects.... anyone else have this problem with the rough country kit? does anyone think it would be a bad idea to use washers on one of...

my x right now has a 4" rough country up front and soa in the rear. problem is the rear is way to high and rather then install some coil spacers and have to mess around with the brake lines im just going to lower the rear. i have warrior 153 shackles and a short procomp add a leaf but this gives...

hey everyone, i did an soa but i poped my driveshaft out of the slip joint moving my truck to my backyard where i am going to weld the perchs. just wondering if the only way im going to get it back together is if i remove the top u joint then put the slip joint back together and then put the u...
