I am terrible with photos. I get excited and just work, forgetting I have a great camera on my phone. My tires were worn and I wanted to improve fuel economy by lowering RPM at speed. I took some 17"x 8 Pony wheels from a Mustang, (I forgot to get the back spacing) and used some 2" spacers I...

My 01 job 1 has a quarter million miles on it. While it still gets me to work every day, it makes rattle noises and marks it's territory. What I really want is to install a 3.o diesel from an Audi A6,:burnout: but I don't have the time, money, or fab skills to make that happen. I am resigned...

I ran across a thread asking this same question, it received no answer. It looks like it will, and will be a reliability upgrade. Can anyone confirm this?

It's time we broke up. (Trail ready 92 4x4 Ex) It’s time for a divorce. We have had many great times in our long history, but it’s time to move on. We have taken care of each other, and you have taken me places others said we should not have been able to go. I know this is going to be hard for...

It seems my ST is a little taller than what Ford would have done. I plan on using 32s, but I don't want to over tighten the torsion bars. The tires that came on the truck are a little over sized at 265/70/16. I don't have any rubbing. Is there a way to tell?

the heater in my 01 does something funny. On the floor it will chase you out of the truck it's so hot. On any other setting it's barely warm at all. Panel, mixed, or defrost it doesn't get warm enough to keep the truck comfortable. On the floor setting, your feet will sweat, but the rest of the...

I'm selling my first gen since I got a Sport Trac. I have these and a few other parts that are no longer needed. No prices include shipping unless noted otherwise. I will consider reasonable offers. All parts are for the 91-94 Explorer. Local pick up is preferred, but I can ship if you give me...

I have some 64? chevy leaf springs I got cheap. The plan was to move the front mount forward 6" and install them on the Ex, gaining flex and payload (possibly lift). Well I procrastinated over and over, letting small things get in the way like new wear pads and u bolts. I started searching...

I love me some self service junk yards. Yesterday I went for a steering gear box cause mine sprang a severe leak. After getting a good low mileage one, I went poking around to see what else I could fine. I came across a 2000 that was rolled. The interior was perfect. Non-perforated leather...

My truck keeps eating the speedometer driven gear. I've replaced it many times. It will work well for a week or so, then start to bounce more dramatically, then bounce much worse, then stop all together. When I pull it out, it's not "chewed" but more worn down. Concave like. I'm afraid the...

having trouble with butchered wiring (solved) The plugs were cut off by the idiot previous owner. At one time I found a web page that you put in your vehicle and it would tell you the stereo wires and the wires needed for alarm install. If any of you know the URL for this site, I would love to...

This is a perfectly good transmission. It fits the 4.0 v6 and some 4 cyl Rangers, 2WD. (Edit: 3.0) Slave port is on the left. I just drained it to dismantle it for scrap. It's been in my way for a long time, stored inside, with oil, and covered. I have one more auto to dismantle first. All I...

Click, click.... goes the relay on the fender when I turn the key. It's not the engine ground, I upgraded it and tested it today with jumper cables to the battery. It's not a fuse, I tested every one with a multi meter. It's not the starter, that's what i thought it was and bought a...

Tonight, with in the last 5 hours, my truck was tossed... again. As it happens, I have to park on the street. Bikes in the garage, wife in the drive. Memphis ranks 389 out of 405 for crime rates (higher number being more crime). My neighborhood is not that bad. Mostly middle aged couples...

This is how things usually go for me... After a long road trip in the Ex this last week end, I noticed the mild noise coming from my transmission was a bit worse. So i called several places and finally U-pull-it, and when they told me they had a 94 Navajo with 140k 4x4 5 speed I nearly wet...

I need a new 5 speed for a 4.0. A couple of my syncros are bad, and 5th gear makes a sound like escaping air. I would like it to be close to Memphis, and it should be in good condition. PM, or email.

I ask you this for your impartial opinion. The explorer is done (for now). If I ask on the other boards I'm a member of they will vote for their loyalty. You don't have that option. ;) I have a problem... A sickness really. I love my man toys, all my toys, all equally. In the stable I have...

I found a set of Bushwhacker flares from a 83-88 Ford Ranger. I was thinking of trimming some and installing these. Think it will work?

What else can I do to my front axle? Since no one else seems to be doing anything with their truck I'll ask a silly question. Weather permitting, I'll finally be swapping my front ring and pinion. while i have the assembly apart I'll be doing a few other mods. Not a locker because I just can...

I am leaving for a long 850 mile trip today. I have been trying to get my cruise control to work for months now. A brief history: last year i bought a body with a blown motor for cheap. I installed my motor, as well as a few other things. In my old body the cruise control worked. In this body i...

Isn't the motor supposed to up the idle a couple hundred RPM when the A/C is on? If not it should. Is there something to adjust or should be checked for this? It is not the IAC. while searching for my idle up I got lots of hits for the IAC. so I cleaned it and it did nothing for me. The...

I have searched, no one mentions the size or part number for the snap ring they use for the U joint mod. Some help please.

I've been running around with 32s and 3.73 gears for a couple of months now. It is way past time to regear. I discovered that i have a limited slip rear end. I already have Ford Racing clutch pack kit for it. I'm about to pull the trigger on everything else from Summit. Motive Gear F888456...

Well, they are mostly plastic. But the chrome is actually over a really thin layer of copper. Neat! I wish i had known that before I started preping them for black paint. Tore right through the copper in a small spot. It was really slow @ work today, so I scuffed up the front bumper, grill and...

My M5OD is getting louder and louder. Instead of rebuilding it, I've decided to swap in an HD unit. I know the M5OD-R1HD came in the 2003-03 Explorers. But everyone keeps asking me for an ID #. Naturally, I don't have one. I've spent the last hour here at work searching, but haven't no luck...
