I would look at the wiring and sensors first as there is no positive indication that the thermostat is stuck open. A new sending unit only costs about $6 and can be more easily removed than the thermostat.

This project is sure to annoy some European sports car purists, its is totally awesome.

Well... It seems like the problem has subsided over the last couple of days. The other day when I was on my lunch break at work I managed to remove the outer part of the connector on the ABS module to expose the wiring but did not have enough time to completely remove the connector. After...

Yeah, I usually use an analogue voltmeter when I test sensors since it reads almost instantaneously.

So far it only happens when coming to a stop, but the reason I believe that it is something to do with the wiring is because it is about 50/50 whether it will happen or not on a given drive. On trips where it occurs, it might even activate multiple times when slowing down for a stop light. It is...

Here are some answers to the questions which you have presented: 1. It is indeed a 4wd, however the tone ring visible when the wheels and rotor plate are removed. 2. I completely removed the hub/rotor assembly when I changed the sensors and gave the tone rings a shot of brake cleaner but I...

Since I bought my Ex I have had a problem where the ABS would activate when coming to a stop. Recently I decided to replace all of the wheel speed sensors to solve my ABS problem however the ABS problem continued at about the same frequency as before. When I have the vehicle on jacks next I will...

Yes, IIRC the axle splines and bearings are exactly the same.

I would imagine that it is a bad valve or some kind of restriction since pump noise usually increases with RPM. How long has it been since you looked at the transmission?

Yeah, I believe that you got scammed. The address is owned by an address rental company.

How much would it cost for an ABS plastic unit?

Is there any chance that you would be able to send me the CAD for the vents?

That is good, how many hours did it take to print the entire thing?

Nice, how much infill did you use?

Synthetic oil, high volume oil pump, and reinforced cylinder heads just to name a few off the top of my head.

I hope that there is some kind of update to the situation about the issue moving forward since I don't live in the area.

I think that it is your MAF sensor connectors/wiring. Normally when the MAF sensor is unplugged the engine goes into "limp mode" which severely reduces power, and if no change is noted it would indicate that the MAF sensor is constantly disconnected. The on/off nature of the power bog also seems...

I would just recommend opening the drain plug since it can be reached from the top. If you decide to puncture the hose however it would be wise to use a leather punch.

After 5-6 years it would probably make sense to do a flush, thermostat, and hose replacement if is going to be regularly used anyway.

Is your transmission Standard or Automatic? If it is an automatic it is entirely possible that the hose could have been jostled when removing/reinstalling the transmission lines.

How long has it been since you have done any work on the radiator?

Congratulations on your purchase, I hope to see some of the pictures of your rig on this forum.

No need to bump the thread, in the meantime I have completed the conversion with the PS-60 oil pressure sender and simply bypassed the resistor. The new sender is somewhat longer, but fits without putting too much pressure on the power steering line. Simply removing the 20Ω resistor allowed the...

TBH I don't know how it is in Laramie, but in Cheyenne I have never had a problem with working on my car out on the street.

Damn, we need to get the USPS to buy some of these.

It would probably worth it at this point just to swap the motor and transmission, especially since both would have to be removed to fix the problems they have. The nice thing about an engine/tranny swap is that you could probably find a better motor and transmission for wheeling.

I was looking at some of the write ups for the "Real Oil Pressure Sensor conversion" and I came up with a few part numbers, one of which being E4ZZ 9278A and the other being PS-60. I was hoping to verify if the part numbers would fit before I moved on with the conversion. I believe that I have...

I would hope that it is a bad head gasket, as the only other answer would be a cracked/warped head.

It sure sounds like lifter tick to me. Considering that you are not too far from a rebuild, I don't believe that it would hurt the engine to run a bit of Seafoam or the like to try to improve oil flow to the lifters.

How much would it cost normally per oz. of paint?

I was moving down my repair laundry list, and I was wondering where I would be able to buy the Cayman Green in bulk when I finish some of the rust repair. Most of what I have seen is what they sell in the cans, but I am looking more for what I might use for a regular paint sprayer since most of...

I had no idea that one could order translucent PETG.

I would start with the relay, and work downstream from there.

IMO most of it is par for the course when owning an old car with the exception of the ball joints and shocks, that is complete BS.

I have just one quick question, were you able to hear the fuel pump on the first failed startup? If the fuel pump had failed it would make sense that it would run for two seconds on the first start but never again. Looking at the codes I believe that you would be on the right track to solving...

When shifting through the gears I would recommend stopping on each gear long enough for the transmission to engage going both ways. Judging by the picture I believe that you are overfilled by about 2 pints. I accidentally overfilled my transmission by the same amount when I dropped the...

It appears that the fluid level is indeed high. One thing I recommend doing is to shift the transmission through all the gears and back to park before checking the level on a warm, running engine to get the most accurate reading. Two questions which could confirm if the transmission is...

One problem which tends to emerge for older explorers is that the rear wiper does not clear the rear windshield properly. Initially when it happened to me I thought that my rear wiper was simply losing its seal so I replaced it to no avail. Eventually I found that the joint on the wiper arm had...

The only other easy idea that I have is to make sure that the battery is putting out the required voltage to get the motor going. Other than that, overheating is a serious issue for these trucks so it could full well be outside the range of simple fixes.
