    Transmission problems

    Ladies and gentlemen, my wife's 05 sport trac just let go. Transmission just lost all forward and reverse gears. I have changed all 6 solenoids, filter, fluid and torque converter. Still no forward or reverse. I'm out a butt load of money and still nothing. Any insight? Also, when it let go...

    Misc First gen stuff

    I know, but still worth a shot asking. People tend to hold onto stuff for a while.

    Misc First gen stuff

    Do you still have the gray cargo cover? I would love it. Give me a price plus shipping please. Mike. 804-972-4462 (cell) text 1st, I may be at work.

    factory posi?

    On a side note, Dan, already working on getting a rolling chassis with the 5.0. I'll let everyone know how it works out.

    factory posi?

    Sorry, no pics. It's the same exact fit as the electronic shift. I just left the original wiring hanging there and made the hole in the floor plate larger. Be sure to get all of the linkage and the shifter with it. Try to get the floor plate as well. I also disconnected the push button control...

    factory posi?

    Finally did the conversion using a donor axle from a 95 X. Couldn't be happier! Stops on a dime and doesn't lock up anymore. Intermediate cable was the issue. I just deleted it and replaced it with a couple of fence turnbuckle that I can get a full 6 inches of adjustment out of. My X is turning...

    factory posi?

    My thought was the local Lowe's by my house for the ends/crimps and the cable if I couldn't source the cable at the boneyard. I may have to do the upper and lower control arms on a buddies 04 Sport Trac this weekend as well. He'll give me a Glock 26 for the labor, he already has the parts. Good...

    factory posi?

    Thanks for the info, I'm gonna hit the boneyard this weekend to source the parts. Thinking my biggest issue will be the intermediate parking brake cable.

    factory posi?

    I'm thinking about doing a rear disk brake conversion on mine within the next 2 or 3 weeks and was wondering if you have done that to yours as of yet. CAP on Genito Rd has a huge amount of 1st and 2nd Gen available to pull from, or at least they did a couple of weeks ago.

    Humvee 36x12.50x16.5 tires

    I did it to mine years ago and they lasted forever but clearance issues made me trade them out for a set of 35s. Mine were 38x12.50x16.5. I needed custom wheel adapters to make it work.

    Flat black rattle can?

    I know that this post is years late, but I did mine with a gallon of Rustoleum and a Wagner Power Painter in my driveway 3 years ago and it looks fresh still. Just do good prep work and it will turn out fine.

    Unclemeat, you still in the Richmond VA area? If so, where? I'm in Glen Allen and have a million questions if you have some time some weekend. mashcraft1969@gmail.com is the easiest way to reach me.

    Front Hitch

    Hope you don't mind, but I have an old receiver out back and am gonna use your design to fab one up for my X.

    4"or 6" fiberglass fenders?

    Haniman fiberglass (probably spelled wrong), it's been 10 years since I ordered mine, makes them for Rangers and fit perfectly. I tried trimming and failed miserably. Just wish that I could get matching for the rear of my 4dr.

    92 Explorer Automatic to Manual Transmission Swap

    You don't need to change the steering column, just remove the column shifter (it's easy). I didn't have to change the ecu on my 91. I got a 5 spd from a 93 Ranger. You will need the flywheel, floor pan, slave cylinder and reservoir. You can lie to your ecu for the nuetral safety switch by...

    My 91 Icelandic Explorer :)

    That is one of the most awesome visions of beauty that I have seen in a long long time. Great job on that one. Love the paint. Looks sorta like my home paint job.

    2003 Sport Trac - SAS, SOA started and here's a sneek peek.

    Now that I read more, I just gor rid of 5 of those H-1 tires. Causing to many clearance issues. They were great, but needed to downsize to 35's.

    Dibs on the swing out tire carrier. Just need price and shipping info. Looks great so far.

    mystery transmission

    If the shifter is too short, possibly from a body lift, Summit Racing sells shifter extensions. When I did my swap, mine was too short due to the lift. The extension fixed it all right up and only cost me around $40.00. Good luck.

    Starter is sticking

    I'm not a mechanic, but I always change the parts from the cheapest to most expensive. I have had several relays go bad int the total of 3 Explorers that I have owned, but have only ever replaced 2 started in mine over the past 14 years. Meybe I have just been lucky, but luck has never been my...

    It could also be the starter relay under the hood. I have an AutoZone starter on mine and have had it for years with no issues. Good luck.

    auto trany n manuel trany ?s

    I went with an M5ODR1 from a 93 Ranger when I did mine and the manual x-fer came from an old Bronco II (92 I think). Lost the nuetral safety and cruise control and had to rewire the reverse lights, but other than that I couldn't be happier with the swap. Good luck.
