    Front end rebuild, Circlip part number?

    Hey everybody. I've got my front end torn apart (98 4x4 OHV), everything except the lower control arms and torsion bars. It started as replacing lower ball joints and cv axles to clear up for minor front end noise. Well I busted one tie rod boot and decided to go all in and replace the rack and...

    Oil Pressure Switch Part Number#

    Okay so I know the location of the oil pressure switch. My current connection is tight at the nipple at least. When the engine is completely warm and at idle I'll get gauge fluctuation from 0 to Good. At 1k rpm or higher the gauge settles at good. This leads me to believe I have a bad sender and...

    OHV Top End Refresh. 410 Cam?

    How's it going guys. I've started to plan a top end rebuild as I have low compression on cylinder 3. About 60 pounds cold/dry and 70 pounds cold/wet. The rest tested 150-160. I consider having my head worked but one is a 95tm and one is a 98tm on my 98. This lead to me to simplify the process...

    External Oil Leak from Head?

    Hey guys. To start I've guy a 98 OHV that's leaking a good amount of oil. Constant drip at running pretty much. Dripping from the mating between Engine and Transmission. I had believed it was all from the Rear main and replaced that months ago (horrible job to do alone). That helped the leak a...

    Needing to do rear main replacement, but have questions.

    Hello All. As the title says I need to replace my rear main soon. It's been needing it but seems to be getting worse now and the potential for fire and the constant replacement of oil bothers me. I have a Haynes manual and have looked at some discussions here. I've already bought a transmission...

    Dorman 615-295 Intake Issues

    Just wanting to share my issues with a replacement lower intake manifold I had ordered for my 4.0 OHV. I ordered a Dorman 615295 intake to replace my factory Motorcraft one. I did this because I was going to have the engine apart for an intake gasket leak and wanted to fix my stripped thermostat...

    EGR Valve to Upper Intake Bolt Size and Thread Pitch

    Hey guys! I was hoping that some would know off the top of their head or if they happened to have the bolts that mount the intake tube to the EGR valve. It's a 98 4.0 OHV. When I purchased my vehicle it had incorrect sizes and is currently leaking. To clarify this is the tube that enters the...

    Radiator Mod to increase ground clearance?

    Hello everyone! I've just finished installing a tube bumper that doesn't come down as low as the stock bumper. I plan to install a skid plate and the radiator sticks out about 4 or 5 inches below the frame rail. Not only making it a clearance issue, but also being an extremely important yet...

    Looking for Opinions on Painting Over Chrome

    Despite my X recently taking some abuse, I'm hoping to clean her up a little and maybe do some paint work as well. The big decision I'm wondering about is weither or not I should paint my chrome bumpers and trim black. I like the look of the black wheels, but I like the chrome accents and am...

    255/70R16 for a Stock 98?

    I am new to the forum, although I have viewed before to acquire information, this is my first post. Anyways. I recently bought a 98' Explorer XL. It seems to me that the tires are under sized for a 4WD at 235/70R15. Do you think increasing to 255/70R16 would fit without rubbing any? How would it...
