    helper shocks with AAL and shackles?

    I'm rocking shackles, AAL's, and load levelers. Took the sag out of my ass but still got that gangsta lean to the drivers side. Gonna have to swap the leaf packs anyway...

    lift and upgrades

    Agree completely with Rollover... I did go all the way with the torsion twist and haven't had any problems. I also replaced all 5 shocks. Monroe sensatrac in front and Monroe sensatrac load levelers in the rear as well as a Monroe stabilizer on the rear axle. I've got 31" General Grabber AT2s on...

    Half shaft issues

    I turned up the torsion bars on the stock keys. I wouldn't think that'd be too much angle for the axles.. Would it?

    Half shaft issues

    Definitely not remans. I always try to buy new whenever I can. Twice now it was the inner joint, and this last time it was both of them.

    Half shaft issues

    This past summer I replaced both front axles. A couple of months ago I noticed that the passenger side axle had tanked again.. Replaced it under warranty. Now, only about 6000 miles later... That passenger side axle is shot again. Anyone know something that I don't.. Or am I just getting crappy...

    Warrior 153 Shackle question…

    I had the same issue with not being able to lift the truck high enough. I got it up as high as I could and set it on jack stands. Then I set the small bottle jack that came with the truck between the frame and the main leaf spring and slowly cranked it up until the end of the spring sat low...

    Noise under driver wheel while driving

    Yep, as I said, all four tires and wheels are brand new. Tires were road force balanced when mounted to the rims, and besides all of that, the condition existed before I threw the new wheels n tires on her.. Also, I have replaced both u-joints in the rear shaft. Ill pull that front shaft and...

    Fast Idle, help!

    Yup... I have the EXACT same problem as well. I replaced my IAC with the one from Ford just last week and now Ive got a high idle and nasty downshift issues. Have you looked into the possibility of a vaccum leak? I think thats what Im going to try next. Ill let you know how I make out.

    Am I the only person with a STOCK AWD 4.0l?

    Ya know, thats right.. I forgot all about those Blazers.. And youre right about the Envoy/Trailblazers too. Those are what I used to work on the most when I was at the dealership (GMC dealer).

    Am I the only person with a STOCK AWD 4.0l?

    Ok so Im a GM guy and this ford stuff is new to me. I just went and researched the control trac that I apparently DO have.... NOW i understand. Logic told me that between the "Auto" setting on the dash, and the fact that it does automatically lock up when in snow and ice that it was all wheel...

    I have a 2000 explorer XLT with AWD (NOT 4WD) and it has the small 4.0l OHV engine. This vehicle has not been modified in any way. Advance and Autozone say it doesnt exist, Ive had a few others tell me it doesnt exist, Ive even had someone on this forum tell me that it doesnt exist. It...

    Looking for serious advice

    So Ive looked through countless posts on here referring to front end vibrations, and haven't really found the answer to my issue as of yet. SO... I have a 2000 Explorer XLT AWD with the 4.0 OHV engine. A few months ago I started having a front end vibration under acceleration only. Since...
