my 98 Sport Yes, my step bars are starting to rust a little. Just in spots. The curved ends of the step bar are plastic or something. I am going to remove the bars and get them jet coated or something else permanent. I have not found any rust anywhere else on the whole truck, just the...

write up I have been keeping track of the work and the steps involved and will gladly share with everyone ! It might be a while before it is done.

I have been doing some investigation on the underhood wiring for my 4.0 sohc to 5.0 v-8 project for my 1998 Sport and the wiring looks to be identical except for the fuel injector harness and the coil pack. I think it will be easier than I thought. Anyone else done this that could...

Dana The owners manual is not that technical. Thanks My explorer is a 2002 EB . Are their any clubs in the Omaha area. Let me know Joe

My 2002 Explorer front diff looks different than my 98 Sport. bolt pattern is different. What is it. BTW its the same as under the 2003 Expedition Thanks

Where is a good place to buy a "break out box" for fords. Seems like a good tool idea Thanks

Dana 40 On my 2002 Explorer, the front diff is a Dana 40. What is the difference between the 30 and the 40 and the 44? Thanks Joe

The 2002 Explorers have Dana 40's for a front diff. Anyone have info on this unit, strength, R&G size. The housing looks to be larger than the 35 on my 98 Sport. It is also used under the new Expeditions. Thanks

I was looking at the front diff on my 2002 Expl and I am wondering what kind it is. It looks different from the dana 35 on my 98 sport. Also, I looked under a 2003 Expedition and they seem to be the same as my 2002 Explorer. The bolt pattern is not the same.

Well, after 4 months....... I think my 2002 EB 4.6 4x4 is the best Explorer because The frame is much stronger. There is no indication of flex. It is also painted. The 4.6 and the auto are great. It has the most power and gets the best mileage of any Explorer I have ever owned. I...

I don't think it is something they want you to get in a habit of doing. But, have you ever heard of a newer explorer breaking its transfer case?

by design The clutch will slip "by design" when the amount of torque that has built up between the front and rear shafts reaches a certain threshold. Joe

I put my 1998 Explorer Sport in 4x4 high and then stopped, got under the truck and marked the driveshafts (front and rear) at the same clock position. Next I drove around some corners and I could feel and hear the drive system bind and then release itself. Finally I stopped and looked...

Are the 1998 and up Explorers very rust resistant? I've driven my 98 Sport in the salt for 4 years and there is no indication of rust.

I bought a 2002 Explorer with the class III/IV hitch. Has anyone hooked up a brake controller yet. The Explorer is prewired and the dealer said there is a "plug in" located under the dash near the steering wheel. Any help would be great Thanks Joe in Omaha

mileage My 2002 Explorer (Eddie Bauer) has the 3.73 and the V-8 and I get 17mpg in town and 21mpg on the highway. We really love the new Explorer.

We just got our 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer with the V-8 and 4x4. I must say it is a wonderful machine. It has great acceleration and rides like a Lincoln. The handling is very nice. There is no noise or vibration of any kind and so far we are getting 17 mpg in town and 22mpg on the highway.

After reading alot of posts that have nothing good to say about the 4.0 SOHC, I just wanted to write and say that my 1998 SOHC Explorer idles very smooth and quiet and as for the rest of the truck, I have only replaced 2 dash bulbs and thats all. I think some of the people are really hard...

8.8 axle You do not have to run new lines from the master cylinder but you do have to measure for new lines from the Ranger tubing to the Explorer tubing. It's one of those things that you just have to look at and you will know what to do. The axle tube from the Explorer is 3.25 inches...

Will a 5.0 from a 4 door Explorer fit in my Explorer Sport? Everything under the hood looks the same and both are 98's
