I assume it needs to go straight back at least an inch before it will drop down?

Ohh ok one of those may be tricky to find....I'll have to talk to the guy I got this xfer case from (a buddy's dad's jy). Hopefully he has the driveshaft off the vehicle still.

Ok gotcha...what is the proper name for that flange piece? Also does it have to buy off just a 96 explorer or are there other years too that will work?

Ok thanks again...I assume the flange (the piece that goes onto the u joint on the transfercase side of the new front driveshaft) would be similar if not the same as to what is on the transfercase side of the rear driveshaft? Sorry for all the questions.

Something like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-explorer-4x4-used-front-driveshaft_W0QQitemZ110417690872QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item19b56840f8

Ohh ok gotcha...I think I would rather have what you call the "double cardan" instead of mine with the cv shaft. Is the only driveshaft I can use is off a 96 AWD explorer or mountaineer? Or were there other years or non AWD also? Thanks again.

btw...thanks for the tips

Ohh ok I didn't know that....I may use the access panel underneath the center console to get those two bolts back in. Looking at the new transfercase there appears to be only one dowel on the top side? I have a feeling this is what is holding it. Also after more inspection I noticed the...

The chain is stretched out in my transfercase so I'm in the process of swapping it. However, I cannot seem to get the transfercase free from the transmission. These are the steps I have taken so far. 1) Removed Cross member 2) Removed the rear driveshaft at the xfer case. 3) Removed...

Ok thanks I'll try that tommorrow... I guess when driving the vehicle straight the driver's side tire will pause for a second while moving slowly and then making a clunking noise and start rotating again.

Last fall my wife was driving our explorer through fairly deep wet slush when she said there was a funny binding noise comming from the driver's side tire. After a quick peek I noticed the CV Boot had a crack in it so I ended up replacing that assuming the joint was causing the binding...

I guess I'm not too well versed in auto trannies...what bands are you referring to and how do I go about adjusting them? Thanks, Brad

Hi there, I own a 97 5.0 AWD for a couple years and I really like it. I was going to purchase a new set of tires for it before winter, but I spotted a real nice 94' 4.0 in real nice shape with new tires, new battery, etc. along with a few issues lol. I ended up purchasing it for around $550...

I'm not sure how they are for quality. According to one of the canadian ebay sellers there are 3 grades and the ones they sell are the middle grade. My buddy emailed them to see if they had front end parts for his 97 F250 and they ended up making a BIN auction for him. However, the parts they...

Hi there, I recently purchased a 97 AWD 5.0 Explorer with 160k and its in dire need of front end work. I plan on replacing the Upper Control Arms, Lower Ball joints, Inner and Outer Tie Rods, and End Links. Does anyone know where a person can purchase all these parts in a kit? I'm probably...

Ok yeah I guess maybe mine is worse than others or maybe it annoys me more than others because the vehicle is new to me so i'm not used to it ;).

Hmmm...it seems to be a fairly common problem. The general consensus from what I've read is most people attribute it to a cracked exhaust manifold. I wish I knew for sure if this is the case. I'm kinda leary to put a quart of atf into it without knowing for sure if it is a lifter that is...

Ok Z thanks for the information on the ball joint repair costs. How many miles does yours have on it and how long has it been ticking? Mine has around 162k on it and I have no idea how long it has been ticking since I've only owned it for around 200 miles lol. I know the truck has been...

Ok having driven the vehicle for a couple days I've been able to notice a few issues. 1) The motor has a slight ticking noise until the engine is warmed up. I just changed the oil (5w 30 mobil 1 synthetic) with a motorcraft oil filter, but that didn't seem to help. I read on here somewhere...

I would assume so...they are just stock rims...I don't know much about when explorers start having clearance problems with widths and heights. The bad thing is the tires are like new ;(. I have 32's on my bronco and if you turn sharp it will catch the curl in the front bumper...the same with...

Pictures I thought while i was at it I'd just do a group shot. * 97 Ford Explorer AWD 5.0 * 94 Ford Bronco 5.0 * 93 Ford F150 4x4 5.0 5spd * 78 Ford F150 4x4 351m 4spd * 95 Ford Taurus SHO 3.0 MTX * 93 Ford Taurus SHO 3.2 ATX Vehicle Photos

Ok gotcha. Now for a technical question. The idle rpm fluctuates from time to time from like 500-1500. Sometimes it will even die at idle, but then starts right back up. Is this a good sign that the MAF or the throttle body needs cleaning? If so, what are the recommended cleaners for...

Hmmm...strange on the speedo thing. I just checked the manu date and it says 8-96. I didn't see the tube you were talking about on the exhaust manifold so i assume i have the "P" less heads.

Well we made it back with no issues so thats good. The explorer is actually a 97 instead of a 96. Are there any differences between the 96 and 97? My wife drove it back and she said the speedometer is reading a lot faster than your actually going...its says like 65 when your going 60. I've...

Well I'm going tonight to pick it up....the first test will be driving it back about 130 miles so i hope it works good. I think its supposed to get to around -10 tonight so it wouldn't be a good night to putz with vehicles on the side of the road ;). I'll post some pictures of it after i get...
