    Adjusting the door question

    My neighbors Explorer (2008) has a drivers door that needs adjusting. The door does not close all the way. The striker does not appear to be adjustable like on older models, so I need help. The fit on the door is good every where else it just needs to close a little tighter. Any help would...

    4.0 sohc, WOW!

    Yes, I agree, but..... The sohc with it's 2 cams and 4 chains and all the rest, even the intake manifold, is a very interesting motor. At least in an architectural sense.

    4.0 sohc, WOW!

    I just started rebuilding a 4.0 sohc to replace the 4.0 ohv in my 2000 Explorer and just wanted to say what a neat motor the sohc is. Some parts seem to be overly complicated but I think it is a facinating engine nonetheless. Any one else agree? Joe

    Explorer transmissions interchangeable?

    Transfer case I thing the 1354, 1356, and the 4405 all interchange and will bolt up. The wiring will be different I think.

    5.0 Swap

    All In I have the 4r70w with the AA and Baumann Controller already so I'm good to go there. Looking up some part #'s online I found out that the Maf and air filter are the same for all engines in 2000. So, I'm hoping the air box might be the same. This is the easiest swap I've ever done as...

    Four wheel drive problems

    fuse Um, he mentions 4X4 high in his post so obviously he does not have the AWD. I had the same problem he had and by pulling the fuse the growling and popping went away. I think it's a great first step in the diagnosis. My 2000 uses #6 for the clutch engagement. On your 98 you will have...

    OHV to SOHC Bolt Pattern

    7 of 8? I have seen photos of the 5r55e and it appears to have both the sohc and the ohv pattern incorporated into it. Specifically the top two holes of the bell housing. Also, I would have to think that Ford would have designed it to accommodate both engines for assembly line purposes...

    Four wheel drive problems

    Pull the fuse In the fuse box under the hood find the #6 fuse. It's a 20 amp and pull it out and see if the growling goes away. This is if you have the 4406 transfer case.

    OHV to SOHC Bolt Pattern

    I'm considering swapping a 4.0 ohv to a 4.0 sohc on a 2000 Explorer and was wondering about the bellhousing bolt pattern for the 5r55e. Will the sohc bolt up to the ohv 5r55e? I've searched the forums and have not found a definitive answer. Is it 7 of the 8 bolts line up and it's OK to run it...
