I've decided to find a 5.0L Explorer as a daily driver while my beast goes under the knife again. Is there a 96-01 that is a better choice than the others? reason? Eventually a turbo stroker should find its home there, but for as long as possible, I just want a nice driver. input? Thanks

Can anyone tell me if the firewall is formed differently in the V8 models for the bigger bell housing? or is the tunnel just really roomy compared to the first gen trucks? maybe :rolleyes: designed for it even?

How many people break the upper rear shock bar-pin (stock) I snapped one with pathetic worn out jobber shocks, just before prepping to install Bilstein 7100's (MUCH stiffer valving). I was hoping to avoid building a new crossmember etc, but if these things have a chronic disintegration...

Before After:

I'm looking for about 4" of lift, maybe a little more. I was planning to just do a SOA, and might still do it as a temporary measure (to even out my front 4" cut/turn TTB). The main problem, is that the stock springs offer very little travel. from mid bumpstop to the axle tube (hanging, with...

Trying to get my 2002 Ranger trans (M5OD-R1HD) set up in my 92 Explorer. It was an auto, and the clutch master/line I'm using came from a 91 Ranger. The quick connect won't pug in to the trans. Niether is siezed, they just seem incompatible. ARE there 2 different connectors? I have never heard...

Using the part numbers I found elsewhere on this site, I tried to get the metal plugs to replace the factory rubber ones. THe brands/part numbers are not available here. My trans is a 2002, and the rubber is in good shape. what about just sticking them in with RTV? for the price its probably...

I might have found a solution to my A4LD problem :eek: My local Ford wrecker called me this afternoon to inform me of a new arrival (gotta like that, huh?) a V8 Exploder. So how about a 5.0L/4R70W to replace that POS A4LD? Blows my 'I like the 4.0 L just fine' theory all to hell, but in the...

I bought a 92 Exploder with a bad motor, and supposedly a new(er) transmission. It made it the 1/2 hour drive home under its own power, but barely. it was a huge deal to get it over 3500RPM, and it was spewing oil and water from every gasket. No big deal, I had a new motor for it. I was a...

Just an introduction for myself and my latest ride. Just got a 92 4dr XLT cheap with a bad 200K mile motor. Picked up a cheap '94 motor for it, and we'll go on from there. For a '92, it is in excellent condition cosmetically. This will be a daily driver, so right now, my thoughts for it are...
