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 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...

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...

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...

TRUCK PICS AND SOLUTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE THREAD! Okay, so my truck would always start right up, but i would have to give it gas the first 2 mins of turning it on. The truck would stall out if i did not give it gas. Never really a problem for me since this is a mud truck. Flash forward to me...

Hey forum! So I'm preparing to put a 9 inch in the place of my 8.8, and when I was tearing down the 9 inch I saw this. Cracked pinion straddle? Well anyways I need a new case and found a few third members on craigslist. What all do I need to look for in the third member? Different carrier...

Hey forum! Im about to swap in a manual 1354 I picked up a while back into my 97 sohc v6. I read somewhere that the 4x4 lights will blink and maybe it will throw a check engine code aswell? If it wont throw a code im not as worried about swapping the gem. I would just deal with the blinking 4x4...

Hey forum! Well after finishing the d44 sas on my 97 its time for some more planning. While i was working on the axle swap i removed the lower rad hose and half of it looked like water and the other half like a black oil substance. Im thinking head gasket? But at 91k on a sohc really? But im...

Hey forum! After having a hub bearing go out to me on the way to work, i figured its time for the ifs to go. I went on Craigslist and couldnt find anything but housings and half complete d44s. I finally found a set of complete axles from a 77 f150. I got the full width hp d44, for 9 inch, all...

Hey forum! I recently developed a rod knock in my 4.0 91 Explorer motor and replaced it with a junkyard motor from a wrecked 4.0 94 Explorer. I kept the PCM from the 91 but used the wiring harness from the 94. After getting everything all hooked up I wasn't getting any fuel and realized that my...

Hey forum. After having to put a 3rd transmission in my mud truck, I think its time for gears. It is my mud truck but since I drive it to the trails, it does get ridden on the road (up to an hour away). Since my daily driver snapped a few timing chain guides, it is my daily now lol. I have the...

Hey forum! I have a 91 with the a4ld trans. I blew my pump the other weekend and after I replaced it, I put the trans back in. While cleaning up I found the dust shield (the metal gasket that separates the transmission and the engine) laying around. Do I need to drop the trans again to put it on...

Hey forum! I was driving my mud truck to an offroading spot a couple of days ago. The transmission was shifting great the whole ride there. I was a little bit low on tranny fluid (so i thought) so I stopped at O'Reillys and added 1 qt (overfilled it). I then went down the road about a mile to...

What's up guys! I have a 97 EB with the JBL setup. I blew my stock sub and just ordered a new headunit. I already have a 12 and an amp that i want to throw in. I know about the Metra 70-5601 Radio Wiring Harness bypass but I was wondering if I need this because I want to put in my aftermarket...

Whats up guys! I just got a 1997 explorer EB 4x4 with the IFS up front. I have some brand new 33s that i want to put on it. I already know that the most common way is the TT, shackles, AAL, and a 3 inch body but i have a few questions. 1) What is the best way to lift it? My budget is about...
