    What came out with the oil?

    I picked up a 4.6 from a 07 crown Vic to swap in my 04. This apparently is part of a check valve of some sort. Was in the drain pan when I drained the oil.

    Primary chain tensioner stuck

    It appears a slight backwards rotation causes this tensioner to lock open. My explorer had a hard start condition due to a leaking injector and would sometimes spit and cough fail to start on the first try. This is probably when this would roll backwards and lock this open. I could reproduce...

    Primary chain tensioner stuck

    Top pic is after I popped it loose with the screwdriver. Next pic is how I found it (again) stuck at the top. This a ford part. The chain is afternoon. The chain is coming off tomorrow to see if it is stretched.

    Primary chain tensioner stuck

    This has happened on two different explorers I’ve looked at and this is the second time on mine. The primary chain tensioner is pushed all the way left and is stuck in that position with the top pin that holds the springs pushed over the top of the bracket causing barely any tension on the new...

    Beware eBay servo bore tool

    Stay away from cheap 150 or so servo bore tool kit on eBay. The one I received had two of the same size circular drill guide holders. In other words both were for the large bore, none for the small bore. The seller said they did not have the correct parts. I returned it and they gave me a...

    Rear end swap

    04 was the switch to 4 wheel abs 4 sensor. I pulled the donor today and put an old whiny 02 in its place so I could still move it. Mounted fine. I will use my old rear cover(if it fits) because the drain and fill plugs are different

    Rear end swap

    Great news. My 04 has 4wheel abs so no rear diff tone ring or sensor to worry about. So it should go in with just 3 bolts. Thanks Chris.

    Speaking of whining rear ends ...

    I have a good 3.73 trac loc 8.8 pig. Can I put it in my 2004 with advance trac. Will trac loc and traction control coexist peacefully?

    Rear end whine goes away in 4wd

    I thought is was a change in torque but this thing is really noisy. I plan on going through the rear end soon. I had the transfer case laying around so I thought I would give it a shot and see. On a side note the t case I used was from an 02. I had to move the ground wire from pin 11 to pin 12...

    Rear end whine goes away in 4wd

    I have what seems like the classic rear end whine. 3.73 open diff. Worse 55-65 loaded stops when you let off the gas. I found by accident it goes away in 4wd so I thought maybe transfer case. I put another t case in but same result. What gives?
