i have a 5 spd manual tranny in my truck. and the problems i'm having with it don't sound like transmission problems to me but thats what i'm being told is likely the problem. and considering i don't know much about this stuff i can't say. when in gear and coasting, giving it no gas it feels...

i'm running 5.13's and 38x15.50 tsl radials. which only measure 37" tall. so really i'm running 5.13's and 37's on the 4.0 ohv and manual tranny. i drive very easy almost all the time. anyways i've been good to average 10 mi per gallon and this past week i drove 30 miles highway (usually 60...

i just upgraded my wheel and tire package. :thumbsup: i bought 38x15.50r15 tsl radials and 15x10" mickey thompson classic 2's. and i actually got a good deal. from 4wheel parts of all places :eek: for once they shot low instead of way high. and shipping is free free free. should be in friday...

first off i'll start out by saying before my explorer i had an s10 with 3 15" subs and a cheap $150 jvc cd player. never skipped. the whole dash jumping up and down right along with everything else and still kept playing. i get my explorer i buy myself a $450 "100% skip proof cd player. i kept...

i'm out of time to get my truck inspected... almost. monday is the last day before my inspection expires. we might or might not have my speedo part taken care of. which would fix one of the reasons my cel is on. the other is my o2 sensors are running rich. codes : 1132 & 1152 tsb: 98-23-10...

so my 1354 manual transfer case is going out on me. i bought it used it lasted about 10 mo. so the $$$ i paid for it was way too much considering it didn't last hardly any time. i knew i wasn't going to buy used again. so i was going to get it rebuilt... but i'd be out of my truck till it was...

well i finaly did it... i'm elite. its the least i could do for all the info i've gotten from this site since i've joined. my wallet may not be happy with me but i'm happy with my vehicle so i considere it worth it. i'm on nearly every single day. usually jus browsing... anyways heres some info...

when i first did my sas i decided on a dana 30 for many reasons. cost... close to stock width... same lug pattern and i only wanted to run 35's. and figured that would be plenty strong for what i wanted. i went with 4.56 gears and put a lock rite in the back. leaving the front open. it worked...

the 35's i have on my truck right measure right at 34". on paper they are listed as 34.9" tall. so they compressed about an inch with the weight of the truck on them. do all tires do that? i ask b/c 38's are too tall for 5.13's so are 37's for that matter anyways the swampers i'm looking at...

ok so theres the ring in the rear end that lets the speedometer work. i ofcourse have the 8.8 in my 98 explorer. now i know without that ring the speedo will not work. figured that out by leaving it off after a gear swap. if i was to switch to say a 9" rear end what do i do with that ring gear...

now i know the 8.8 is a pretty stout axle. right now i have 35" bfg mt's on 15x10 rock crawlers with 2.5" back spacing. it's about an inch narrower on each side compared to my front end. i purchased some 2" spacers for the rear. so instead of the front being an inch wider on each side... the...

my uncle who is a wrecker driver picked up a 2001 ford ranger 4x4 last week. the truck had a 3" body lift on it. what happened is the owner was driving down the road and started going around a curve and the cab fell off the truck. it first started rocking and then slid off and landed upright and...

i have a k&n filter... flowmaster delta 40 series 2.5" cat back exhaust and am going to add a chip customized to work with my mods if at all possible. i have 4.56 gears i really needed 4.88's. my question is will the chip, exhaust and filter help power the way 4.88's would with out any...

....think it would be possible to modify the tread of my xterrains that would help them clean out better in the mud? would that be a lost cause? would it ruin my tire wear? if i can't get rid of these things i need to do something. maybe turn each lug into 2 seperate lugs. would that help? i...

these tires are super swamper ssr's. i kinda think i know the answer but i'm hoping i'm wrong. first is a 35"x12.50"r15 that is actually 35.3" tall with 10.6" of tread. next is a 33"x14.50"r15 that is actually 33.5" tall with 12.4" of tread. so ones almost 2" taller and the other is almost 2"...

i'm going to be buying a 94 4x4 4dr explorer... its been totaled and needs a front end, except for suspension, my plan is to completely remove the body from the frame and everything else that i can take off and still have it driveable for offroad. put some 5 point harness seats and a full...

i finally was able to take my explorer in the mud since doing the sas. it has 4.56 gears with 35" tires which are actually only 34" tall. and was sorely dissapointed. in 4 low i can't spin the tires fast enough to clean the tread. so i get stuck. so no big deal i jus put it in 4 high. no power...

i'm going to be doing a sas on my 98' Explorer Sport 4x4 :D its a high pinion dana 30 from an xj that will have the early bronco suspension setup with 5.5" wild horse lift springs. i'm going for about 8" of suspension lift with a combo of spring over, add a leafs and blocks to raise the rear...

for every inch wider wheelbase u go can u raise it up an inch and have it be basically as stable as it was before widening and lifting? start out with an explorer on 31" tires with stock wheels and a 3" body lift. widening the wheelbase 12" to 14".... a good 6" wider each side in the rear and...

OK, i'm in the process of getting everything for my SAS im actually getting all my parts from jeffseal :) so a very big thanks to him. ok, i know 35" tires can fit with less lift than 9.5 to 10" of lift but my question is what do ya'll think. excessive lift? it will be used to offroad mud/...

anyone with experience with these tires...? either yerself or a friend... performance offroad, tread life... any info please. thanx
