    Which Transmission?

    Can somebody tell me which automatic transmision is used in the 5.0 explorers. If it is something other than the AOD, then can it be mated to my 1354 transfer case?

    What does everyone recommend for wheels. I am looking for 15x8 and I would like a wheel that can handle bad weather and abuse. The wheels I have now I have only had for about 8 months and the center caps are badly rusted and the clearcoat is coming off. I want something that is going to be...

    Opinions on MPG?

    I here a lot of people talk about getting over 20 mpg, but I am only getting 13-15 mpg even with highway driving. I have a 97 sport 4wd, 31-10.50 tires, torsion and shackle lift, 3.73 gears, KKM, Borla exhaust, superchip, new bosch +4 plugs and new wires. My truck has 107000 miles on it. My...

    3" body lift on 97

    I am looking to get a 3" body lift for my 97 sport and I would like to know if it would be better to get the kit for a 91-94 explorer or the one for a 98-00 ranger and what extras I would need to get with either kit. Like longer bolts or anything.

    Gears?

    I have a few quick questions. What gears are available for my 97 4x4? Where is the best and least expensive place to get them? Can I keep my factory limited slip? I have the 3.73 limited slip now and I would like to go to 4.10 or whatever else is available that would be best for 33 inch tires.

    Borla?

    Got my borla catback system in today for my 97 sport and it has a dual inlet muffler. Mine is a single inlet. Anyone have experience with this? Do I have to send it back and get another or is there something else I have to do?

    gearing question

    Took my 97 sport to the shop today for clunking in the transfercase and they want over a thousand dollars for a new transfercase. I was wondering if there is any aftermarket transfercase that I could go with that may be less expensive and probably better built than the factory one. Also I was...

    Got smoked off the line

    Put on some 31's the other day and tonight I pulled up to annother sport just like mine (same color and everything) and it smoked me from the start. I am wondering what would be the best way to get my low end power back without changing gears. I am thinking of a high flow catback and headers...

    4wd clunking sound

    kicked in the 4wd today before I pulled into the driveway so that I would not have to worry about rolling while installing my shackles and there was some loud clunking when I turned into the driveway. There was another write up on this, but it was with a 91 and mine is a 97. I am wondering if...

    Exhaust?

    Hi my name is Jimmy and I have a 97 sport and I am looking for an exhaust. I am leaning strongly towards the borla, but ORW wants $479 to get one shipped to me. I was wondering if the borla is worth this, if there are any less expensive places to buy it, or if there is a less expensive exhaust...
