    Removing trans/ how to test xfer case?

    Hey guys, my truck wont move after a loud noise upon acceleration. I initially thought it was the transfer case since the truck rolls in park. Took out the xfer case and as far as I can tell its working. The front and rear shafts spin when I turn the output(?) shaft. No crunching or weird noises...

    Trying to diagnose transmission prob. Truck won't move

    I have a 97 AWD v8 explorer. My wife accelerated from a stop and heard a very loud snap and shatter sound and the truck wouldn't move. If you shift it from park you hear a grinding sound. Any year you out it in has the same result. The truck rolls freely even in park. That made me think the...

    Yay I can finally open my doors from the outside! ha

    Both of my front doors had the infamous broken yellow clips. Picked up a couple from the Ford dealer for $5 each. I feel like a normal person now not having to reach for the inner handle from the rear doors! And theres a broken one in front. Easy fix!

    Second Explorer with Drivers side air vent not blowing

    So I had this problem with my 95 explorer and posted here but never got an answer. I have the same problem with my 97 so I'm thinkin there must be something in common here. My drivers side vent only trickles air out of it. The open/close switch is in the open position. I removed the guage...

    will it hurt to remove the front drive shaft to disable AWD?

    Just bought a 97 v8 XLT with 190K miles and I have a lot of whining from my transfer case. I'm pretty sure its from the xfer case because it makes the same sound as a 4x4 does in 4 Low. Whines during acceleration as well as coasting. So I thought maybe I could just pull out the drive shaft or...

    whats the un-used harness behind my stereo bezel?

    Its clipped to the back of the bezel on the left side above the cigarette lighter. Its in the place where the 95's have the 4WD Off/High/Low switch. Is there any way that this is the harness for that and I could use it if I bought a bezel/switch from a 95? Ha! Wishful thinking I know. Thats the...
