    Engine oil cooler

    i know what im thinking haha all im saying is to bypass the transmission cooler inside of the radiator and only running it to the external transmission cooler. my engine coolant rides from 188 to 191. if my common sense is correct the radiator is doing nothing but possibly heating my...

    Engine oil cooler

    so what you did was run the oil through the factory rad. first then run it to the thermostat and then to external cooler? im thinking about just running it to the radiator and bypassing the tranny cooler so it just flows through the external cooler cause my tranny temps are good. runs at about...

    Engine oil cooler

    im not using one from a yard. i pulled one off of a parts truck i had. If im understanding what youre saying your oil doesnt even get over 215? which means your cooler isnt circulating any oil?

    33's... What next?

    i doubt this table is accurate because it depends on what your overdrive gear is to determine what rpms and final ratio will turn out to be.

    33's... What next?

    i believe that 4.56 would be wayyy over geared for 33s with a 5.0 Im running 4.56 with a sohc 4.0 and i have a 5 speed trans. im not sure what the 4r70w has for a od ratio but mine is .75 and i turn 2500k at 65 with my big heavy 33s

    33's... What next?

    Heres the problem with that option i dont think its going to be easy to find a 4.10 donor truck especially a 4wd one and i would be rather dumb to get a ranger axle because its much weaker and drum brakes which i cant stand. And not to get you down or anything but 600 bucks is pretty cheap...

    33's... What next?

    i was scared at first about doing gear swaps but i started doing some research and its honestly not that bad. I swapped in 456s in my explorer myself its not too bad just do the research and get a few tools. you dont need to buy top of the line 300 dollar dial indicators or anything just...

    Head Gasket surface

    i got it clean enough i believe the heads are perfectly cleaned and the block you can barely feel the remaining gasket material so i wont be worried about it.i would have used a 3m pad on a air grinder but the block is decently so so i didnt want to risk scoring or making the surface unlevel. as...

    99 Sohc 4.0 to 00 OHV 4.0

    i want to do it for these reasons i dont want to do a full rebuild because to do it right it requires alot of specials tools that i dont want to buy. the design of this motor is idiotic and problem prone i dont want to deal with the problems it can create i like the ohv its very durable...

    03 ST 4.0 - Goin on 4 longblocks!!!!

    that misfire sounds like a ping to be which could be caused by improper cam timing. not saying that the coil pack wont fix the problem but these motors are tricky to time correctly and are easy to mess up.

    primary chain install timing off

    me too man. btw i just wanted to share a good technique to anyone else doing this job. if you take a piece of card stock or cardboard with a straight edge on one side you can put the straight edge on the head where the valve cover sets and push the cardboard into the ends of the cam where the...
