    M5OD oil slinger?

    Does anyone know of a source for that plastic slinger on the input shaft of the M5OD? I see it in a few places but they all take a week to get. I need one now. Can you get those at NAPA?

    4.0 OHV oil pan gasket set: what are the washers and orings for?

    I bought a felpro oil pan gasket set for my 1997 4.0 OHV. In the box are 2 orings and 2 washers with an oring molded into it. Where do the washers and orings go?

    Are all M5OD internals the same?

    I need a new input shaft and there's a lot of sellers on ebay. I bought one years ago for a different trans and don't remember having to match it up. Seems like they are all the same but if anyone knows for sure it's be nice to know.

    Source for engine to gas tank vent tube?

    I'm replacing the complete rear brake line on a 1997 XLT 4x4 4.0 OHV M5OD. I took the tank out for this task and noticed that the tank vent line is very rusted. While everything is apart I would love to replace it. Are these available anywhere?

    Brake line to front hose block flare type?

    I purchased a set of brake lines from inline tube for my 97 XLT 4wd. The set came with bubble flares at the block and what's on there now has double flare. Did ford ever use bubble flare for the 2nd gen? Now I have to send my old ones in to be custom made and I find it odd that they provided...

    Bolts or studs for 4.0 OHV exhaust manifold? Then plain or stainless?

    When replacing the exhaust manifolds should I use studs or bolts? Originally there was a stud on each end then 4 bolts in the middle. Drawback to studs is replacing gaskets is harder in the future. Then after I decide that... Steel or Stainless?

    Confused about 4.0 OHV fuel rail gaskets.

    I've replaced the fuel rail gasket and orings on my 2000 4.0 OHV before. It was a single thick gasket under the fuel rail and the rubber orings on top. Now I have a 1997 4.0 OHV and when I look up the gaskets at felpro they aren't listed. Autozone shows a Mahle set which consists of two...

    Genuine Ford clutch slave part number?

    I need a clutch slave cylinder for my 1997 XLT M5OD. I bought one for my 2000 and I assume they are the same. FordPartsGiant shows this... https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-cylinder-assy-clutch-slave_f1tz-7a564-a.html but it says it doesn't fit my 1997. I really think they are the...

    Replace M5OD motor with automatic motor?

    Is it ok to swap an motor that was tied to an auto into an M5OD Explorer? Same year motor. I've heard the cams were different. Does it matter?

    4.0 OHV air pushing up through intake

    Not running 4.0 OHV. I don't have the history. Checked timing chain good and timed correctly. Air is pushing hard up through the intake while cranking. Next to no compression. Pulled the head. Nothing obvious. Seems like too much air for a crack. Valve might be stuck open but doesn't...

    Need 1997 XLT 4.0 OHV M5OD wiring diagram. (starting circuit)

    I've got a tough one. No crank. If I put power on the starter relay the starter works. I've tested the circuit through the clutch switch right to the firewall. Pink wire on the top connector has 12v when key is in start. It loses it somewhere after the firewall connector and the relay...

    How to check camshaft/crank timing on 4.0 OHV?

    It is my understanding that the 4.0 OHV rarely has timing chain issues however I have a 4.0 with no start, an unknown history, and all kinds of parts thrown at it by previous owner. I'll certainly verify fuel, spark, compression, etc but is there a way to verify cam/crank timing without taking...

    Non-cosmetic differences between 1997 and 2000 explorer?

    I'm going to look at a non-running 1997 4wd M5OD explorer tomorrow. I assume that it has a 4.0 OHV since it's a 5spd. Cosmetic differences aside, from the 1997 to the 2000, is the main difference the front suspension? Apparently turns over won't start. AFAIK it's not an interference engine...

    What was last year I could buy a 4x4 extended cab manual transmission Ranger?

    What was last year I could buy a 4x4 extended cab manual transmission Ranger? Looking for a used one and it would help my search to narrow down the years.

    Conflicting o2 sensor data vs PCM code?

    1998 Ford Ranger 3.0. Forscan showing code P0153 (Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit Slow Response (HO2S-21)). Looking at the sensors with forscan looks more like S-12 is bad. Is that downstream o2 sensor outputting the correct voltage?

    C1095 and ABS pump fuse blown.

    I've got a c1095 code and the ABS pump 30 amp fuse is blown. Should I put in a new fuse just to verify it's the motor? Also can that motor be replaced independent of the valve body?

    Need wiring diagram for 1998 Ranger 4x4 3.0 fuel tank pressure sensor circuit.

    We're getting a code for the fuel tank pressure sensor and I've like to check the circuit before replacing the sensor. Do any of you know where to get a circuit diagram for this truck's evap system? <edited to evap>

    Can an out of balance tire ruin a wheel bearing?

    I replaced a front wheel bearing in November (cheap chinese amazon bearing) and it's bad already. My tires are likely out of balance but they're not horrible and only slightly noticeable. Can the OOB vibrations wreck a wheel bearing or was it probably just the cheap chinese bearing?

    Does the low fuel light self test at key on?

    I'm replacing bulbs in my dash. They're all good now but I notice that the low fuel (check gauge) light doesn't come on when the ignition is turned on. A lot of the other bulbs test at that point. I've triple checked the bulb. Is it supposed to come on with ignition on, engine off? 2000 XLS...

    How many dash bulbs are there?

    3-4 years ago I replaced all my dash bulbs with leds. They were cheap chinese bulbs and every single one failed within 2 years. I'm going to replace them all with standard sylvania bulbs, I'm done with leds. There were 2 different types, 194's and another smaller bulb. This is a 2000 XLS, do...

    What's a good bidirectional scan tool?

    I'd like an obd2 scan tool that can control things like the evap solenoid etc. My current scanner is very limited and no bidirectional. I was looking at Autel Maxsys stuff and it's WAY outta my price range. If there's decent software for a laptop I'm ok with that. Around $500 would be ok but...

    30 second run time then dies, must wait (hour?) before it will restart

    2000 XLS 4.0 OHV. I have replaced the fuel pump maybe 100K miles ago with an autozone pump I believe. The car has been running great for ages. I left it sit for 4 days while I was on vacation. I came home and it started right up. Drove about 2 miles and shut it off. Came back in 30 minutes...

    How to get fuel testing gauge in cab?

    !998 Ranger 3.0. 1 out of every 4-5 starts results in rough idle for 20 seconds then runs perfect. I'm thinking fuel pressure problems. I have an ok fuel pressure gauge kit from amazon but I'd like to get the gauge in the cab so I can see it when starting for a few days. Need a long hose...
