    M5OD Swap or Stick with A4LD?

    Well I'm having my M5OD rebuilt for the 3rd time in the past 12 months, so I wouldn't count on that to be any better. I tried to figure out an alternative transmission that would bolt to my engine (OHV V6), but haven't had any luck just from searching online. The best I could find was that an...

    Transmission options

    The first time it needed a synchro assembly, 5th gear, and bearings. The second time it was the main input bearing and leaking slave cylinder. Slave cylinder had also been replaced once previously when a new clutch was installed.

    Transmission options

    No idea. I'm not doing anything crazy. Not even any offroad driving. Mostly all highway. Had no problems at all for about 182K, then it went out. and again at 196K. and again now at 208K.

    Transmission options

    Well my M50D-R1 has taken a **** for the third time in 12 months and I'm tired of putting money into it. I'm wondering if there are any other manual transmissions that will bolt up to the 4.0 V6 OHV engine? I've tried to search, but can't find anyone with the same setup. The two I have seen...

    99 Sport OHV - intermitent hesitation when warm

    I have the same problem every once in a while too. I have also experienced when cruising at highway speed. It's almost like something slipped and then catches back and there is a jerk when it "catches". I have also replaced plugs and wires and fuel filter. Have also had transmission rebuilt...

    99 f150 springs

    If the leaves are the same width, then I don't see why they wouldn't. I think some years of F150 springs are actually a little wider than the ex leaves.

    Need New Tires

    I've had quite a few sets of tires and I am most impressed with Firestone tires. I'm currently running a set of 31x10.5 Firestone Destination A/Ts. Have about 10k on them so far and they still look great. Prior to that I had a set of Firestone Destination LE in I think P255x75. Both are great...

    Battery problem, I think.

    If you know it is not the alternator, then why not just replace the battery? From the age and the bulge on the battery, it sounds like you need a new one anyway. Put a new one in and if its still not working, then you know it's the alternator. A few months ago, my battery was just starting to...

    Speedometer gear/TSS

    I have a 99 Explorer Sport that I purchased new in Jan. of 99. It's just a base model 2WD 5-speed manual (M5OD-R1). I recently put 31x10.5 tires on the stock rims and swapped out the stock 3.27 gears and open diff with 4.10's and an LSD I purchased on eBay. My question has to do with the...

    I don't need the whole console, just the armrest and hinge piece. Thanks.

    Arm Rest Question

    I broke off the arm rest in my 99 explorer sport and Ford wanted $267 for a new one so I am going to try some salvage yards first. I just need to know what years use the same arm rest as the 99. Thanks.
