    locker or weld the front differential???

    my rig is not a daily driver. I trailer it to the sites. Usually, I'm riding on twisty trails with lots of climbs and decents, and very little mud. The welded rear is not a problem but I would prefer to use a locker in the front if it would unlock when shifting the transfer case back to 2WD...

    carrier break for gear changes?

    I need to know if the same carrier can be used for 3.55 gears and 4.10 gears. Also, does the '91 Explorer have the same rear axle spline count as a '90 fullsize Bronco? I want to swap the carrier out of the Bronco into the Explorer. Rob

    rebuilding upgrade help for the 8.8 differential...

    I'm looking for a vendor that sells an 8.8 differential clutch pack and spring that is better than the OEM stuff. Any help is appreciated. Rob

    auto. and manual hub question

    I currently have manual hubs on my '91 XLT. I am curious how the automatic hubs operate. What makes them do their thing? what is the difference in the auto and manual hubs (spare me the obvious remarks)? Can auto hubs be used in an emergency if I break a manual hub on the trail? what...

    Cig lighter draining battery?

    Mine had this same problem too. I didn't have time to fix it so I pulled the fuse to keep my battery from draining. It turned out that a penny had fallen into the cigarette light. If I was a smoker, I would have noticed it. :) I love easy fixes.

    power steering gone. what do i do?

    I just had to replace the seals on my steering gear because it was leaking real bad. It wasn't that hard. Autozone had the complete seal kit for $17.xx. You need to determine were it's leaking from...pump, hoses, or gear. Rob

    auto. transmissions vs. manual

    thanks for all the info. Mine must have been one of those special order "low HP" Xploders.

    auto. transmissions vs. manual

    Everything else being equal (gears, engine, 4x4, etc), why do the manual transmission explorers feel so weak compared to the automatic transmission explorers?

    front axle disassembly info???

    I've installed gears before. In fact, I wrote the Ring and Pinion Installation Guide on www.f-body.org in 1997. I just couldn't figure out how to get the darn front end apart. :) The axle shafts looked to be complicating the job, but I guess not. Thanks for the help.

    front axle disassembly info???

    I'm trying to find information about disassembling the front end so I can change the gear. I did a "search" and went through several pages, but don't have time to look at 2000+ results. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Need help with a body lift

    FWIW, I have a new 3" BL kit on Ebay for $60.00.

    running rough????

    Since the plugs are new and already covered in carbon, and assuming spark and fuel are ok, you probably have an air problem. Something is keeping the engine from getting enough. Based on the history you described, I'm lead to believe you have a valve sealing problem. However, the good...

    '91 X 3" body lift question

    This turned out not to be a problem after all. After drenching all the bolts with WD40, they came right out with my air impact wrench. The impact wrench turns the bolts so fast that I didn't even need to put a wrench on the nuts. After removing everything in preparation for the body lift, I...

    removing shifter boot???

    Thanks. I removed the transmission shifter at the stub. The transfer case shifter is another story. The knob pulled off but removing it is a bear. It looks like it has to drop out the bottom with the gate.

    running rough????

    Good grief!!! Could this reply be any more useless? If you don't know, don't reply. If you have better things to do with your 5.97+ seconds, don't read it or hit the "back" button.

    removing shifter boot???

    I already found them, but I can't get the boot over the knobs or figure out how to remove the shifters.

    removing shifter boot???

    I'm in the process of installing a body lift on my '91 X but can't figure out how to remove the shifter boot (manual transmission and transfer case), or shifters for that matter. I've detached the shifter boot from the floor, but can't figure out how to remove the knobs to get the boot over...
