    I read this as your taking the trans and transfercase from the f150? The trans bell housing is not the same as the 5.0L.

    I have not verified the 4r100 behind a 4.6L. But I have serviced many f150s with a 5.4L and a 4r70w. My moms 02 being one of them.

    Front shaft from a 4r70w f150 or expedition. And rear shaft from a 4r100 expedition. Its the transmissions that determines length of the shaft not the motor. The 4r70w is shorter in length then the 4r100. Its a false assumption that only the 4.6 trucks came with 4r70w and 5.4's only with the...

    Used the explorer to take the buggy to rocks and valleys. 60 on surface rds and 65 highway with the cruise set and overdrive off. Averaged 10.5 mpg. Didn't think that was to bad given the weight and higher rpms with not running overdrive. I really should of installed my brake controller though...

    I see 15 consistently in both explorers. I doubt it has anything to do with the lift.

    How to: 2nd gen bodylift - PA 883 Bodylift Instructions

    Completed both my body lifts on both my 98 Explorers just over a year ago. They both got 2" lifts. And both got actual Hockey pucks used for the lift. 20 pucks per explorer double stacked. Only "mods" to make the lift work, adjusted the fan shroud only. Cut out the bottom area of shroud to...

    Bigger hammer? Make sure ALL of the old clip was removed, sometimes the retaining clip breaks and leaves a little piece in the groove.

    Its not uncommon for the tail shaft to spin when the trans is in neutral with no resistance against. I run into this ALL the time when i put a vehicle in neutral and start it on my hoist. Fwd rwd doesn't matter. Start them up in neutral with the tires off the ground and the wheels start...

    2" BL ext shackles and full torision bar twist. Set my caster low on the spec range to minimize rub. Really only rubs at full lock turn and in reverse. I leave my sway connected when wheeling helps. I trimmed my running boards/steps at the bottom of front fenders to reduce any rubbing.

    That should be the same as the trucks. I need a car, the upper to lower gasket is a different shape between the cars and trucks.
