    Transfer case and 4LOW issues

Specifically (and this was confirmed again today), I can get the transfer case to shift into 4HIGH but as soon as I try to put in into 4LOW, the indicator lights for 4HIGH on the selector and the...

    Locker and Snow Question

    I understand the physical mechanics of lockers, but because I have never driven with them, I am not very knowledgable about the actual driving characteristics. With that, I am planning on putting a selectable locker in the rear, and a Powertrax No-Slip in the front. The reason for this is...

    Atlas II/Dana 44 Outer Idea

    OK, the Atlas II transfer case comes in 2 gear ratios for the Explorer, 3.8:1 and 4.3:1. They recommend that Explorers with a automatic tranny (mine) get the 3.8:1 ratio because you can't stop your truck with the 4.3:1 ratio. OK, fine, except the fact that I REALLY want the 4.3:1 ratio. I...

    Spare Parts while wheelin

    I'm curious as to what spare parts everyone carries (if any) when they are out on the trail. I fortunately have yet to break anything but it seems prudent to bring a spare tire (duh), U-joints, and an adequate tool kit. What else does everybody carry?

    Reassembling brake question

    OK, now that I have replaced my ball joints and put in manual hubs, and a ton of other little things, I cant seem to find a way to put the calipers/brake pads back on.

    Tie rod Removal Question

    Hey all, I am planning on doing a lot of front end stuff this weekend and I was reading through my Chiltons and Haynes manuals. My question is, to seperate the tie rod ends, should you use a pitman arm puller or the fork like tie rod seperator tool? The Haynes says to use the pitman arm...

    Front End Question

    This weekend I am putting on Warn Manual hubs and I thought it would be a good time to replace some other things such as repacking the wheel bearings and such. My question though, is whether or not I should do the ball joints? I kind of follow the rule of "while its apart, I might as well..."...

    A couple of weeks ago I accidently left the doors unlocked and some a*****e stole just the deck that was in the Ex. Needless to say I was fuming. Fortunately, they left everything else. Well, I had a spare deck lying around so I installed it and made sure that I always locked my doors. Well...
