    Not an Explorer, but here's my 01 Ranger Edge

    Anyone know if the Warrior 153 shackles fit a Ranger?

    I'm sure some of you guys out there either know of or have a Ranger with lift shackles, do the Warrior 153 shackles fit (and successfully lift around 2") a Ranger? Truck in question is a 2001 Edge 2WD. Already maxxed out the torsions, now I'm looking for another easy inch or two from the rear.

    A4LD from 89 BroncoII to 94 4x4 Explorer

    Found a low mileage A4LD out of an 89 BroncoII 4WD with electronic transfer case and torque converter, and the A4LD in my 94 4x4 Ex needs a rebuild/replacement. Will the B2 tranny be a clean swap? Also would it matter what motor the B2 has? I think they came with a 2.9, which if I'm not...

    Vacuum line missing on 4.0L, engine pics needed!

    I need a picture or diagram of the vacuum lines on a 94 4.0L near the firewall on the driver's side, I have one missing on my 94 Explorer and want to be sure that I hook it up right before I start the engine again. Any help is appreciated! :)

    Need a favor from OHV 4.0L owners

    Hey guys, I've got a bit of a problem. The other day my truck started surging while idling, so I checked things out and found that a vacuum line has come off the fitting- problem is, I can't find the vacuum line to reattach it! I've searched through the Haynes manual and can't find anything...

    Emissions woes

    Well, the time of year has come for the annual emissons test in order to pay for my tag, and this time around, the POS failed. Every reading was fine except for the carbon monoxide in the 50/15 test (from 50mph to 15?)- the allowed amount was 1.24%, and the measured reading was 3.12%. The...

    How much did you pay for a rebuilt tranny?

    Just wondering how much you guys paid for a tranny rebuild on your Explorers, and where it was done at (Ford or independent shop). So far I've been quoted $2800 by a Ford dealership (RAPISTS!!!), and $2000 by a tranny shop. I'm still on the search for the cheapest one, I'm not concerned with...

    HELP! Transmission problems, what to do??

    Ok guys, I took my Explorer (94 XLT with the auto tranny) to the local Ford dealership with what I thought to simply be a blown seal near the front of the transmission. Had to leave it there over the weekend, and someone finally got to look at it this morning. When I got home from work today...

    Gotta take the Ex to Ford tomorrow...

    Seems my Ex has developed quite a significant tranny leak. :( Last weekend I was coming home from my girlfriend's house (about a 75 mile drive) and I noticed something on my back window, like a fluid splashed all over it. Not thinking anything of it, I got home, and went to bed. Walked...

    My Explorer won't start

    This morning I got in the truck to go to class, and my Ex wouldn't start. Turned the key, and nothing happened. I could see the E-brake light barely dim on, but then it went off. No clicks, engine won't turn over, nothing. :fire: For the past week or so, it hasn't always started up on the...

    3" spindles on a 95+ 2WD?

    I know that you can lift the newer models with lift spindles, does this work on all 95+ models or only specific years? Also, I know that spindles such as the Camburg spindle for the 98+ 2WD Rangers increase the front track width by 1.5" on each side. Do other spindles (Fabtech, Explorer...

    A few new pics with the BFG's...

    Got the Explorer all shined up nice today, so I figured I'd take a few pics with the new meats. Haven't had a chance to work on the front centercaps, I gotta cut a hole in them so they will fit over the Warn hubs. Dead Link Removed Dead Link Removed Dead Link Removed

    Before/After new wheels and tires...

    Swapped the wheels/tires on my Explorer and Ranger today. Wanted to keep the brand new 265/75/16 BFG's when I sell the Ranger because 2 of my ProComp MT's are cupped and I wanna run an AT instead of an MT now. Was worried the BFGs would rub on the Explorer, since they are about 32" in...

    Rear axle swap?

    Since some of the newer Explorers came with 4.10's and disc brakes in the rear, how difficult would this be to swap the complete axle onto a 91-94 Explorer with drum brakes? As far as I know, the spring perches and all mounts are the same, but what would be involved in converting it to the disc...

    Think I could fit 265/75/16's?

    I've got 265/75/16 BFG AT KO's on my Ranger on the stock wheels, and 31x10.50's on my Explorer on 15x8 Eagles. I'd like to swap the wheels/tires on the two, but not sure if I can fit the BFG's on the Explorer. I've got a 1.5/1.75" lift on the Explorer (spacer/shackle lift) and I fit 31x10.50...

    Anyone running 32's with 3.27 gears?

    Just wondering how bearable this combo is. Right now I have brand new 265/75/16 BFG AT KO's on the Ranger, and 31x10.50 ProComp MT's on the Explorer. I'd like to put the wheels and tires from the Ranger onto the Explorer, but I don't think they'll fit at the height it's at now (spacer/shackle...

    "Loose" steering?

    The steering in my Explorer feels quite loose, like there is a lot of play in the wheel when I am going straight. It will rock left to right about 2" or so without turning the wheels at all. Once the wheel gets past that 2", it turns the wheels fine, but while the steering wheel is straight...

    Looks like I'll be keeping my Explorer...

    After several unsuccessful months of trying to sell my Explorer, I've come to the decision that the best thing would be for me to sell the Ranger instead. As much as I hate to do it, here's why: My parents loaned me the money to buy the Ranger before I sold the Ex so I could still have a...

    DANG that was deep!

    Was still in 2WD while riding on a mild trail, nothing more than a muddy dirt road with several good-sized puddles. Went through two or three no problem, it's so much more fun in 2WD, kickin' the rear end all over the place. :D Anyways I was coming up on one puddle pretty fast, from what I...

    Guys, I got a big problem...

    This is a 99 Ranger 4WD, 4.0L automatic. 50K, just bought the truck a few weeks ago. I had noticed a strange clunking/grinding noise that I could only recreate under one condition. Turning left from a stop (like at a 4way stop), accelerating, at about 5-10mph, I would feel a clunk/grind...

    A new kind of before/after pics...

    Before: Dead Link Removed In Progress: Dead Link Removed After: Dead Link Removed That's my new truck, a 99 Ranger 4x4, with the 4.0L automatic. Already got 265/75/16 BFG AT KO's (thanks to the Firestones that were on there) and a torsion twist, and I put the CD player, Polk door...

    Got a new truck

    Getting a new truck I know, it's not an Explorer... at least it's a Ford. :) The other day I was just looking around on autotrader.com, checking out some trucks for sale. Found a 99 Ranger 4x4 for only $10,900 that caught my eye. Black/graphite, extended cab, 4.0L... that's all it listed...

    James Duff Prerunner Bumper with 3" body lift??

    I'll be putting a 3" body lift on my truck in the next couple months, and I'm considering getting the James Duff prerunner bumper as well. Does it use the stock mounts? If so, it should work with the bumper lift brackets, right?

    Remote Engine Start kits??

    Just wondering if anyone has one of these or knows anything about them. It would be really nice to start my truck from inside my house 5 minutes before I leave in the morning, it gets pretty cold having to leave at 7AM every morning. Is it something I could install at home?

    Kodiak power side steps??

    Dead Link Removed Does anyone know if these mount to the body or the frame? It says that they are for stock suspension only, but I wonder why? Doesn't make sense to me... I have a spacer/shackle lift, and will be adding a 3" body lift, and I'm wondering if these would work. I don't really...
