Metra 70-5701 was the one that worked. It also includes the harnesses for vehicles with stock amps. I just didn't use it. Wiring was easy after I got the right harnesses. The Alpine head unit only uses the RCA jacks when equipped with an amp, so I just ignored that too. If anyone is curious...

Maybe. If I get the right harness, it should have the diagram.

Looking for a wiring harness. I used Crutchfield. They sent me completely wrong harnesses and a head unit with RCA ports in the back. Can someone help me out? My truck has no sub in the back. Produced in December of 97. Previous owner installed a disc changer. I uploaded pictures of the stock...

Yeah, having to drop parts from three separate trucks all by myself is not gonna be fun. It SHOULD make the install seem less daunting, though.

I think I might actually be in luck on the linkage. My local junkyard is a "pull it yourself" joint. Should be able to grab the linkage equipment and the TC from the same truck.

Oh! If I grab the 4406 out of a 97-98, it should have everything I need for the VSS already? I THINK I'll need it since I've got a 98.

Knowing that under the center console is the quickest route to the top of that TC basically just cemented the fact that I will do a manual shift 4406 swap when the time comes. I need to buy some tools and set aside a little cash before I head out to the junkyard. I'm guessing most people use an...

How do you cut your holes? And am I gonna need to go through the interior just to get the transfer case out? I didn't think I would have to do anything inside the cab until the 4406 was bolted in. Oh, and am I gonna need a BUNCH of ratchet angle adapters and extensions?

This should work perfectly. Didn't think to check the ranger forum. Thank you! Added note: The more I look into it, the more I'm willing to cut a hole in the floor of this nearly pristine Explorer... I really wanted something barely noticeable that would basically just plug in. But the manual...

Has anyone done a full write-up where they successfully installed an electronic shift 4406? I found one, but I think they basically wired their own shift motor to clear the gas tank. VERY cool, but not the reliability/replaceability I'm look for. I'm still looking. I'll actually post a link to...

I've got a 98 Explorer XLT 5.0 AWD. It's got 230,000 miles. Just bought it. It's got a whine from the front end that I believe is from the front driveshaft. I want to just go ahead and do the swap to a 4406. The AWD transfer case makes this poor V8 feel slower than my old 93 4.0. And swapping to...

I'd have to be pretty clueless to not be checking my oil and coolant constantly. Neither of them have any significant changes. And my cooling system doesn't seem to be leaking at all anymore. It's always full and the reservoir level doesn't fluctuate unless running. In response to RoadRunner: I...

I no longer have coolant spewing from my radiator cap and/or reservoir. But my truck still overheats. I squeeze the hoses when it's warmed up and idling, and I can feel that the hose going from the radiator to the thermostat is not fully filling with coolant. Even after squeezing it and getting...

Again, I already figured out how to wire the factory amp to my new head unit. And dude... Did you type this while drunk? I THINK I understand what you're trying to say. But my stereo sounds fine. I'm actually pretty happy with how it sounds. My only complaint is that my new stereo doesn't have...

Yes, it is overheating. I spun the fan while it was cold. It seems to be fine. I've replaced a couple fan clutches. I know what they're supposed to feel like and how much they're supposed to spin freely. However, I had to jump my Navajo the other day... While the hood was open on the Explorer...

It has still been giving me grief. Bleeding the master DID help, but I still have problems shifting sometimes. Mostly just first and reverse, but a little bit into other gears if it's already giving me issues. I STILL haven't bled the slave, so that may very well solve the problem. I tried...

I turned on the heater and got it warm enough to start "overheating", squeezed the hoses until they were full of coolant and I couldn't feel any air in them, then let it cool overnight. Before starting it, I filled the radiator until I almost couldn't put the cap on without causing coolant to...

Update: Took another short drive. I'm still getting resistance when trying to shift and it can still grind a bit into reverse. I'm going to bleed the slave as soon as I get a chance. I'm hoping that will solve it. I already tried repeating the method discussed. I got the old fluid out, but the...

Looking into how to bleed air from a cooling system. I'll report back if it works or if more measures needed to be taken.

I could kiss you, Fortune! My clutch pedal feels SO much better. And my baby doesn't grind when going into reverse anymore. I can't even begin to tell you what that means to me. The pain was becoming almost physical every time I'd hear that grind. I had taken it to a car meet a few weeks ago...

Any video, pictures, or instructions on a DIY version? I saw that thread, but the lack of information is what led me to ask here. I also didn't want to assume my symptoms are from the same exact cause without being open to the possibility that it's from somethimg else. Thank you for the...

1993 Manual Ford Explorer 4x4. Rebuilt motor. Trying to figure out the cause of my random temperature spikes when I stop at red lights. It only seems to jump at idle RPMs, after reaching operating temperature. It jumps to about 3/4 of the gauge on my dash. It usually rests right at the "L"...

Thank you so much, Fortune! Ordered my snap-ring pliers. They should be here today. I'll probably attack that lock ring before work tomorrow unless I get antsy and do it overnight. I'll let you know how it goes. If it works, which I expect it will, then this really needs to become more common...

If you say it's good, it's worth giving a shot, Fortune. Alright, then my "research" is paying off, since I'm actually making a proper diagnosis. It's worth mentioning that before posting, I tried and failed to bleed my clutch using the one-man bottle method (Ran the reservoir dry. I know...

My manual 93 Explorer 4x4 will grind a little when putting it into reverse at times. It can also become difficult to shift into reverse and first gear. It usually doesn't give me any problems after a cold start, though. Even after warming up the engine while parked. It usually seems to happen...
