    2001 Explorer, 8.8 axle rebuild

    I was going to post this in my SAS buildup thread, but figured a separate thread may be of use to others. I had 4.56 gears and an ARB installed by a shop because it was a bit too cold to deal with it since this thing doesn't fit into anybody's garage. Long story short- the rear broke up...

    Stalling???

    93 XLT- Left turns no problems. Right turns --> stalls. This has me baffled anybody ever encounter this? I checked all the obvious- frayed wires, vacuum hoses... Any ideas?

    Rancho Shock Fitment Guide or Specs??

    I'm trying to figure out which Rancho shocks I need for the front and rear of my 01' XLT with SOA and SAS. Does anyone have or know where I can find specs for compressed/rest/extended lengths (or travel lengths) for the Rancho 9000's?? I've read there's some kind of guide out there that...

    Welding Rod selection?

    I doubt this is in the right place, but here goes- when welding does anybody have any tips for what rod to use? In other words, can 6011 1/8" (?) be used to weld up to 3/8 plate? I think it's 7014, I know the first 2 digits indicate how many psi the steel is rated for and the last 2 are...

    37x13.00s???

    i'm looking for opinions primarily from those that've done an SAS... I'm liking the TSL/Boggers. Only problem is I only see them in 35x14.50 and 37x13.00. I have a feeling the 35x14.50 will be way too much. Can I fit a 37x13.00 under there with an 82' Grand Waggy center and Bronco...

    Retainer clip on D44 Front???

    I have Bronco outers on a Waggy axle- The outers came complete "in tact", I had them cut the outer ends off the Bronco axle. They have standard manual Warn Hubs that I'm swapping out for the Premium Warn Manual Locking Hubs. On the outer axle shaft- is there any type of retainer clip...

    Rear Bumper Project.

    Ok, so I decided to try my hand at fabricating a rear bumper and coming up with something to kinda match my front. I had some steel cut and had them put some rough cursory bends in. Some of this steel is also going toward my SAS, but I measured things out and ordered it with enough to...

    Question about D44 knuckles...

    I got a leaf sprung Front D44 from an 82 Grand Waggy. It's got a 6-on-5.5 bolt lug pattern. There's no such adapter to take the rear from 5-on-4.5 to 6. Question: Are the knuckles from the D44s all interchangable, ie. Dodge, Ford,etc?? And if I change the knuckles, what else would...

    Battery Isolators????

    What's up guys...anybody got an idea? I have a 200amp alternator and will be putting in an auxilliary battery tomorrow. I am planning on getting a yellow top deep cycle...I was told that's the best choice for running the 2 Xtant amps, winch and fogs. I can only locate a 90amp isolator...

    Question about removing the air box.

    I just removed the air box from my X today and used 3" PVC to reroute the intake through a cone filter, it isn't a K&N or anything, but looks like it'll allow plenty of air for the V8. I got a nice hum when I nail it now, but I punched it and held it for a little bit (not till the RPMs got...

    Anybody know if they have those cheap code readers for the X? I've seen them for like $30.00 for the GM. I got a check engine light that just came on yesterday...when I turn the heat on high the truck starts kinda like bucking when you hit the gas to take off...turn the heat off and she...

    Clear Headlights?

    Does anyone know of anyplace to get clear headlights for the 2001 XLT? BTW: it's a 2nd gen not the 2.5. I put in 8000K HIDs and I'd rather have clears, but can't seem to locate any. Thanks!

    Hello All, Does anyone have any idea if the 90'-94' - 3" Trail Master Body Lift will work on a 2001 Explorer XLT. I understand that the Performance Accessories 2" kit for the 90'-94' works...I was told PA is on back order for about 3 months... I took the TrailMaster 3" and I'm crossing...
