    Creative use for my explorer

    I am not much of a body man, I am more of a parts changer. I am pretty good with wrenches, torch and welder, but not at all with the paint gun or bondo. I have a friend that owns a body shop that will paint the truck. There is a Ford parts shop in Lockport, NY (Buffalo) that carries almost...

    Creative use for my explorer

    pretty explorer I hope to at least start on this this summer. I have the entire 99 Explorer to use for parts (bad roll), except the power seats. I want to keep the AWD and dash, I dont care about the a/c or other fancy stuff like that, but it would be a great bonus. I will take measurments...

    Hey Cobrajeff!!!!

    I hear you are the king of stock Ford stereos. I want to use the dual medai radio from my 99 XLT Explorer in my 97 F-150. I already have the plugs wired, but get no sound. My Explorer did not have the powered sub or anything fancy, but I fear it requires an amp to run it. Got any ideas ?

    Creative use for my explorer

    Since I have had NO luck parting out my 99 4.0 SOHC rolling chassis, I have decided to put my 1952 Ford F-1 pick-up body on it. The 4x4 chassis will greatly improve the ride and handling, as well as gas mileage. I have to lenghten the fram a little, but the width is perfect. I will retain the...

    radio wires ? have no sound

    I have a factory cd/cass stereo from my 99 Explorer XTL that I want to put in my 97 F-150. I bought a wire harness adapter kit and thought I had it connected right. When I turn on the key, the clock works, the radio tunes stations, but ABSOLUTLY no sound. I have all 4 speakers wired, but...

    Shift problems with auto trans

    My 95 4x4 has a problem with the o/d shifting. It shifts fine through 3rd gear, but when going into o/d the trans drops down a gear, then back up again. I will do this 2 or 3 times, then settle into o/d and leave the tach at 2000 rpm. Then while driving down a flat raod, the tach will jump to...

    Transfer case

    no, my 95 is pretty much stock. I have several transfer cases, both flavors, electric and manual. I also have lots of other Exploder and Ranger 4x4 parts and pieces.

    Transfer case

    I do have the linkage assembly and transfer case to convert your BorgWarner 1351 transfer case to 1350. You will need to change transfer cases and install the shift linkage. Its fairly easy, no cutting required. My last conversion, there is a pan attached to the floor covering where the...

    Transfer case

    Your explorer does not have vacuum engauged 4wd. It is all mechanical, driven by a small gear motor onthe transfer case. Your automatic hubs are the same, wether on manual shift or elect shift system. You probly just need a new gear motor or 4wd computer. Both are common to go bad with...

    ohv to sohc

    The olny truck I drove enough normally averaged 10-17 mpg. It was the ext cab ranger with 302, 5spd manual, 4x4 and 33x10.50x15 mudders, and 3.73 gears. My 351 conversions, while they were daily drivers, I never checked mileage. Thinkg you don't check when you should have, i guess. Just for...

    ohv to sohc

    A 351W will fit up to 1994. And you can keep your 4wd, w/o a body lift, but you might lose a/c. I made my mounts for my 351w, the same thing that can be bought from Total Performance. I used a full size trans, used the adapter from Advance Adapters, kept my push button transfer case. The...

    ohv to sohc

    Flyguy is right. The 302 conversion will be cheaper and more satisfying in the end. I have done several v8 conversions in Rangers, the 91-94 Explorers are the same for that matter. You should use your existing radiator, thats what I always used for my conversions was an Explorer radiator...

    ohv to sohc

    To do the conversion the proper way, you will need the engine, trans, trans case, front axel, under hood harness, dash harness and body harness. Then, with your Exploder being a 91, you will need the dash also, along with all the modules and such. If you had a 95, it would be simple as pie...

    change over I did sucessfully swap a OHV to an SOHC motor in my 95. I cheated a little, I swapped the entire chassis and wire harness. It ran great, I just use the wireharness from an XLT and tried to use it in my Limited. I lost most options, like memory seats, autolights, powerd sub box...
