Gotta see what gearing you have. If you have 3.27's or 3.55's, then tall tires are gonna kill your mileage because you gotta push the engine harder to accelerate and maintain speed, which is gonna use more gas. If its a 2wd truck, then you only have to change one set of gears, or just swap the...

I'll look for it That was the plan, shouldn't be too difficult. Didn't think you would need to extend that, but I'm sure I could figure something out. I'll probably just use a longer ground strap instead. And 5spd won't have a shift cable to deal with. I'm going electric fan...

Just checked all your sig links, nothing about the shaft other than a mention of it in the power steering delete post.

Sweet!! Definitely be useful, thanks.

If you do decide not to use the front setup, let me know, I might be interested. And I'm local so you wouldn't have to deal with shipping it.

Ok, cool. That's what I was hoping. I just have an issue with spending $200 for something that half the parts included are useless. I have a bunch of old lift blocks from other kits that will works just fine without paying for a bunch of parts that won't fit anyway. You say you used a Ranger...

Great heads. Just be careful about going too big. On a 302 with mild mods, I wouldn't go any bigger than the 185's. If your motor is fairly stock and you do alot of low rpm wheeling, 165's would be better suited.

There is something different about the `01 Sport specifically. No aftermarket tail lights that fit all the other Explorers fit them either. Not sure what the exact difference is, but they all specifically exclude the `01 Sport.

Ok, considering doing a body lift on my 1996 Sport (ass well as TT and F-150 rear springs). Been reading several posts and while I see that the PA-853 kit is what most people use, it also appears that most of the parts in the kit don't work anyway without modification. Bolts too long, drop...

Tried this in the "stock" forum and got zero response, so i guess I'll try here. Is there any physical difference between the `95-97 and the `98-01 steering racks? I know they are listed as different racks, and the `98-01 even list 2 different ones for 2dr vs 4dr, but is it just a ratio...

Anyone?? With a little more research I've found that the hoses are the same, as are the inner tie rods, but the outer tie rods are different. So I'm thinking the outer has something to do with the knuckles, so that shouldn't be an issue. So does anyone know if there is something different...

Is there any physical difference between the `95-97 and the `98-01 steering racks? I know they are listed as different racks, and the `98-01 even list 2 different ones for 2dr vs 4dr, but is it just a ratio difference or maybe a fitting, or is there a physical difference that won't allow them...

I've researched this swap and have procured the spindles and rotors from an `04 Sport Trac to swap onto my `96 Sport, but with all the info about this, one thing seems to be missing. Which pads to use? I see that you can use either caliper, and found that the caliper brackets are the same for...

Posted this in the "modified" forum as well, but didn't realize there was a drivetrain specific forum so reposting here hoping to get a better response. Planning on swapping 4.10 rears into my `96 Explorer Sport. Already have a complete low mileage `98 rear axle ready to go, but was still...

Planning on swapping 4.10 rears into my `96 Explorer Sport. Already have a complete low mileage `98 rear axle ready to go, but was still looking for a front. At the U-pull-it today I came across an `04 Sport Trac that was t-boned and only had 110k on it. It caught my eye because they never...

Ok, thanks. I knew about the ball style shafts being an issue, I've had to replace enough of them on stock trucks, let alone a modified one. Race weight with driver should be about 3500# with driver after the conversion. Biggest concern is the viscous coupler holding up. Can it be modified...

Friend of mine is considering converting his V8 Ranger to AWD using the Explorer V8 BW4404 transfer case. Question is, what kind of power are they capable of holding? Truck puts out around 500hp right now and the purpose of the AWD swap was to help with traction issues and kind of make it a...
