    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

    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...

    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...

    '91 X 3" body lift question

    I am debating on putting a body lift on my '91 Xplorer because I really need the additional lift. Aside from various reasons why not to put it on, I'm mainly concerned about the part in the instructions that say to "clearance" the floorboard for the shifters and then use aftermarket shift...

    trans. and xfer case fluids?

    I have a '91 XLT 4x4 with a 5 spd. What type of fluid does the transmission and transfer case use? Also, I noticed shifting the transmission has a "notchy" feel to it after it warms up. The transmission level was correct but it looked black. BTW, where is the drain plug for the transfer...

    why is clutch pedal so stiff?

    I've got a '91 XLT 4x4 with a 5 spd. Why is the clutch pedal so hard to push? My leg starts to cramp if I have to hold the pedal down for any length of time. It's like trying to kick-start a DC10. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it, but is there a way to soften it? FWIW, I...

    bleeding rear ABS brakes after SOA???????

    I just completed the SOA mod. on my '91 XLT except that I can't get the rear brakes to bleed. What's the trick? I figure it has something to do with the ABS but I can't figure it out. I've unhooked the electrical connector but it had no effect. I bleed the front brakes fine, but I don't...

    rear driveshaft mod. needed after SOA?

    I'm about to do a SOA on my '91 XLT and wondering if the rear driveshaft will need to be modified or not? Will it drop enough or will I need a Cardon joint installed? Is it long enough or will it need to be lengthened? thanks. Rob

    I attempted to pull codes from my '91 XLT and discovered code 63 during the KOEO test but I'm not absolutely sure that is correct. Could code 63 be found in a '91 XLT and is code 63 referring to the TPS? thanks. Rob

    why is my '91 a slug?

    I just bought a '91 XLT Explorer 4x4. The engine has good oil pressure, a clean air filter, doesn't smoke, miss, or knock, but it's slug. Here are the specs: '91 XLT, 4.0L, 5 spd, 4x4, 3.73 gears, 30x9.50x15 tires, and completely stock. If I dump the clutch it won't even spin a tire on the...

    6"lift...is Ranger front same as Explorer front???

    I'm on an extremely tight buget and am considering the Genuine Suspension 6" lift for a '91 Ranger 4x4 ($436.00) from 4Wheel Parts. However, I have a '91 Explorer 4x4. Since I only need the front-end parts of the Ranger lift, will it work on my Explorer? I'm pretty sure the front-end pieces...
