Any updates? :D

I am sure that i have seen at least one :D 4.6 swapped into a Ranger. Now, i understand that the 5.4 is taller and wider than the 4.6. However, nothing is impossible. I think that the DOHC Lincoln 5.4 would be awesome... If i currently had a garage available, i would try the swap myself.

I assume that the turbo has been checked to see that the compressor side impeller does indeed turn? It does seem odd that a turbo especially what looks to be a large turbo, doesn't supply *any* measurable boost.. Does the intake have any cracks and are the gaskets in good shape? Have you...

Ah, I think that there might be a slight problem with this swap from the flex-plate side. The 1990~1996 4.0 used a 6 bolt flywheel/flex-plate and the 1997~up 4.0 uses an 8 bolt flywheel/flex-plate. This can pose a problem from the converter side. I think that it would be best if you...

Looking good! I really like the Sport versions. I had a really nice 1997 four door but, I sold it due to 1. my friend wanted it more than me. 2. I was a four door.

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies guys! I had replaced the separator gasket in the transmission prior to this (in 2009) when I swapped in the engine/transmission. That, and I also replaced another valve in the valve body (I can't remember the exact valve name, just that it was an up graded valve...

Does the transmission shift hard with the O/D light on? My 1996 sport, (1999 4.0/5 speed auto swap) has been doing this lately. It will sometimes start with the O/D light off, and while you drive it, the O/D light will turn on. Then, the transmission won't shift into 5th. This, and it shifts...

Pull up the "carpet" at the bottom of the center console, on it's edges and you will see 4 screws. Remove these and lift out the plastic liner assy. I just refurbished my console in my '99 a few months ago. And it really wasn't too bad of a job to either.

Guys, the brake fluid isn't drawn into the pump while bleeding the system. It all goes into the white plastic reservoir provided in the kit. The kit works really slick, and it isn't too expensive either. The all brass construction is really nice and i like this pump better than the "Mighty Vac"...

After reading what seems like tons of horror stories about bleeding the clutch slave/master cylinder, i decided to come up with a different way to bleed my slave/master cylinder assy in my 96 Explorer. I do believe that Ford originally vacuum bled their master/slave cylinders using a special...

An update on the non-releasing "quick disconnect" issue: I tried and tried to push in the white nylon ring in as far into the disconnect as possible. But, i just couldn't get it to release..Until, i pushed in the clutch petal. It shot out the quick disconnect from the slave cylinder assy and...

Ok, in my other thread, i asked about my quick release on my slave cylinder assy. Now, i have another question: Since i am replacing my damaged 4WD M5OD instead of rebuilding it (as i have a 2WD M5OD out of a 98 Explorer) are the tailshafts interchangeable? It appears to me that the output...

Thanks for the replies guys! I hope to utilize the vast wealth of information here on my explorers, as i really like these trucks! Although, i do tend to get a little depressed reading the endless trouble/problem posts as far as the transmissions are concerned. My 1996 sport has a bad...

Thanks for the replies guys! Hmm, i did shove in the ring in so much that it was barely visible. But, perhaps it wasn't far enough to release it. When i get back to work on it this Monday, i will force in the ring and see if it will release it. I will try a really small flat blade as you say...

I have an interesting problem with my clutches slave cylinder assy. I have been trying to remove the pressure line from the slave cylinder in order to replace the transmission. However, the line "quick release mechanism" isn't releasing. I have pushed the white nylon ring in repeatedly and...

Hi, I am new to the Explorer forums although, i am not really new to Explorers. I currently have two of them. One is a 1996 Sport and the other is an 1997 4 door (SOHC) These are fun rigs and i hope to learn more about them on these forums. I very probably won't be asking too many...
