I had thought about going this route. I also looked into the 5R55E swap, as wiring is my strong suit. Someone had already snagged the only M5OD in the yard, and the '97 5R55E was already robbed of its solenoids. The problem is that I wont be able to do anything but a direct A4LD swap. The...

Hey Forum! I have no idea where to start except that I have pulled too many transmissions on this truck. I think the truck is on its second or third A4LD. Last time, my pump was bad. I cant comment on the shift pattern other than it shifts at about 3.5k. This is largely due to the 3.73...

I removed the two 14mm bolts holding up the steering column. I was able to gain access to the ignition wiring harness. The wires are spliced into, but I was impressed to see that they were actually soldered. I guess im going to unsolder the joints, but this is becoming quite the repair project...

So, I removed the wire from the module that was tapped into the door locks. I took the window switch apart and cleaned the contacts. I tested the windows, and they worked for about 3 seconds and then the switch started to smoke. Probably not going to mess with the windows until i get a new...

Thanks for the response! Last time I went to the yard, they only had a 2 door, so i didnt grab the wiring. I'll see if they have a 4 door this time. I dont have the remote start module fobs. I traced all the wires to 2 separate relays. One wasnt hooked up correctly, and the other im not sure...

I am having some trouble with my window wiring. The rednecks I got the truck from left me with a wiring ****show. Power locks never worked, but the power windows always did. Anyways, I was putting on some door panels. I went to roll up the drivers window, and I felt one of the wires get really...

Yes, the truck is sased on 37s, and that was the factory driveshaft. Luckily, I broke down right across the street from the driveshaft shop! I got a new 1350 yoke and 1350 to 1330 u-joint for $134 out the door. The yoke was much cheaper online, but the truck is my daily driver. I still need to...

I am looking into getting one. What kind of programming is necessary? Thanks!

This issue has been resolved. The culprit: MUD IN THE DANG RADIATOR! I went ahead and replaced the radiator, and I found THIS in the old one. I had probably flushed the system 4 or 5 times, and the system wasnt getting much cleaner before the replacement. Now the water comes out nice and clear...

I took out the rad a month ago and flushed water through it with my garden hose. The coolant (water) was really brown and rusty. I removed it because I had another radiator ready to go in, but once I learned that it was the wrong size, I threw the old one back in. Fast forward to today where the...

There is a spark module behind the passenger's side headlight. Mine was shot after my engine replacement, and i wasnt getting any spark. I forget what the module was called Edit: its called the ICM and i see you have already replaced it

I ended up just not messing with anything besides replacing the spiders. There was one sharp spot that was making noise when it meshed with the ring gear. I should have knocked it off, but im buying a new set of 4.10s (Motive brand) soon. I drove up to 50mph and floored it from a stop going up a...

Unfortunately, it does make a noise when the ring and pinion mesh together at the damaged pinion tooth. I replaced the spider gears, and we will see what happens since the ring and pinion already need to be replaced. I was thinking about grinding down and smoothing out the damaged tooth, but i...

Welp, blew up my 8.8 once again! I need help from yall though. The spider gears and cross shaft are toast, but only one tooth on the pinion gear is damaged. Normally, I would just replace the pinion and regear, but I am about to throw in a ford 9 inch within the next month or two. I am only...

I accidentally wired my solenoid wrong one time, and it made the same click under the hood. Well, I guess it never started either though haha Glad they were able to find the problem!

Oh I know! Just waiting for a good donor vehicle and some time off from school. I missed a donor that was the same year, eddie bauer, and low miles about a year ago. I regret getting out bid ever since haha

Damn! Not a bad deal, but I would need to drop in a 5.0 first :rolleyes:

Sounds to me like either the solenoid is wired wrong, bad starter, or bad ground cable. Could possibly be a bad ignition relay?

Sounds to me like the tcase shifter motor or the circuit board for the actual push buttons. I have had to replace both in mine. You can hear the transfer case motor shift. You could just take the motor off (3 bolts) and visually see if the dc motor is turning.

Not much advice from me sorry, but oh my god your explorer is pristine!!

Solved the problem, but thanks for the help! The main culprit: BAD GAS!! I must have gotten a tank of bad gas before going off to college. I added 2 more bottles of HEET (bad gas treatment) for a total of 4 bottles. It started right up haha :burnout: :pics:

Well I think I found out the problem... bad gas!! Before i replaced the fuel pump, I siphoned the gas into my other explorer, and now neither explorer will start up :rolleyes: EDIT: I took off the fuel filter and the gas also looks like it contains water, but I did add seafoam to the tank...

Ill check out the relay, but could it be the culprit even though i hear the fuel pump priming?

Ill check the pressure again in the morning. Before i replaced the fuel pump, it would pressurize up to about 20psi then drop steadily. It would drop to about 10psi within like 5 mins. I replaced the pump thinking it was bad, but i still have no start. The vac hose going to the regulator is dry...

I just cleaned the MAF with electrical contact cleaner, and it made no difference. Ill check the idle screw, but the thing stalls out when I floor it for the few seconds it does turn over. I just checked over the vacuum hoses, but i didnt change anything since i last parked it.
