    Hydraulic Clutch Line Replacement/Slave Cylinder Fitting

    Looks like slave cyl is a Duralast. Checked AZ for any Dorman or Help part, but no go. I think dkave cyl has lifetime warranty, so replacing altogether is an option, but lots of work. I have done before.

    Hydraulic Clutch Line Replacement/Slave Cylinder Fitting

    I suppose. Sources tell me a zip tie should work. I may be able to try tomorrow.

    Hydraulic Clutch Line Replacement/Slave Cylinder Fitting

    Not adverse to doing the slave cylinder swap, but with maintaining 2 explorers, 2 Mustangs a Jag and a Buick...my time card is full. I do enjoy it all when time permits tho. I've used a few LUK components in the past and no problems. I think Valeo was stock on a lot of the Fords. The slave in...

    Hydraulic Clutch Line Replacement/Slave Cylinder Fitting

    Will do. I hope to get to it this weekend. Also, will let all know if I get anyting back from Earl's. I dropped the transmission a while back to change the slave cylinder, so that is also a possibility, but starting with the simple fix makes sense. Bleeding the system is the hardest part.

    Hydraulic Clutch Line Replacement/Slave Cylinder Fitting

    ...that is the type in link. Can't seem to find flat clip, most are round wire type. Yes, just ametal clip, but tolerance needs to be there or it will not hold with pressure. May try zip tie

    Mountaineer Chairs

    Just bumping this as these chairs are still available. Willing to trade or take any offers. I do not have the Mounty anymore and would like to see them go to an owner/enthusiast.

    Hydraulic Clutch Line Replacement/Slave Cylinder Fitting

    Hi all, Recently watched an ad for Earl's Performance clutch line replacement and am in need of replacing the slave cylinder quick attach coupling as it no longer will stay in place due to broken clip and possible worn connector. My connector is the clip type vs the barb type that was original...

    Hi just introducing myself, I've bought my first Explorer - 1996 Sport

    Welcome! Got a 95 Sport. Always liked the 2 door. I find the best place to find older parts is Ebay.

    Mountaineer Chairs

    I plan on doing a little research then placing them on Ebay. Not sure of selling policy here, but I'd be interested what the right price is. PS. would rather they go to forum member as i have been a member for a while and it has been very helpful as own 2 explorers.

    Mountaineer Chairs

    Gonna post here because I believe this is the right era. Clearing out a garage and found this box from Mercury. Appears to be a brand new pair of chairs that may have shipped with new Mountaineers. Anyone have any idea what year these were supplied with new vehicles, any value for the unused...

    2006 6r60 trans fluid change.....anyone?

    Gloves. Jack & jack stand. Hand pump. No harder than doing a basic oil change. If you do not do those yourself, then I understand.

    2006 6r60 trans fluid change.....anyone?

    Got a 2008 XLT V8 with 231K miles on it. I did a transmission filter change around 125K. Pretty straight forward. Drop pan, let fluid drain, replace filter, refill. Be sure to use Motorcraft trans filter. I used an aftermarket and had to relace as it would not flow correctly and lost pressure...

    JBA Headers ?

    No problem and understood about your power adder. I put a set of aftermarket headers on my 03 4.6L motor. Checked out some research on high price brand name headers vs. less expensive aftermarket from lesser known brands. Seems that fit and finish were reallt the only differences for some...

    JBA Headers ?

    I have a set of 4.6L stock manifolds from my 03 Mustang there is any interest. Given the age of the Ex and performance requirements, I would think that any set of budget shorty headers would work. If you feel better and have a heavy wallet, brand name headers may be your choice. Personally, I'd...

    Sandbox2.000 Suspension Build

    Great documentation and pics. I have 2dr 95 Sport and my front suspension is junk. Was planning to do a coilover swap so this thread gives a look into what is involved. I am torsion twist lifted with 32" tires. Not sure if there is more geometry concerns, but I appreciate your sharing and...

    How do you get these guys off -- what tool ?

    I've found that diagonal cutting pliers work well. Many need to use pick or screwdriver to raise a little before snipping edge and pulling off.

    Pre-fab tube with steel flare nut fitting leaking

    Sounds like a flare not correctly seating. They can be malformed and will tend to leak. I have used rental and purchased flare tools. There is a bit of an art to it and you need to take your time to make sure the double flare is correct. While I agree that tool quality makes a difference in the...

    Exhaust Split Flange

    Hey all, working on the 4th Gen Explorer with the 4.6L V8. Got 220K miles and original exhaust. Heard some exhaust nose and feared a new muffler or system was in order. Pleased to find tat it was the usual rusted loose flange. Was able to remove it and the very rusted bolts and took to the store...

    Riding down the freeway

    I got 32s on steel rims, so my 95 Sport find most of its use in the yard and on secondary roads as it is mostly a work truck. When on the highway I tend to do the speed limit or just above, an usually stay in the middle or right lane if there are no cars attempting to on ramp. I am lifted with...

    If you had a second gen Explorer, what engine would you put in it?

    Keeping with the Ford brand, if you go EV you would want to use the Eluminator. The one it my Mach-E takes me to the same 0-60 as my supercharged Jag.

    Motorcraft Fl-1a - is there a change to the drive section

    It may make you feel better buying Motorcraft, but just so you are aware, they are made by Purolator. You can probably find the same filter at an autoparts store and pay a lot less. I have been using Fram, Purolator, STP on my 95 Sport since it was new. Every 3K miles. I am told that the...
