    Plug wires for Torque monster headers and heat?

    Hey guys, been awhile since I have posted over here! I'm having some issues with heat and plug wires. I'm running boots on the plug wires, but still seem to cook wires, especially #3. The latest set of plug wires is a ford performance 8mm set, with 90 degree elbows on each end. The plug...

    Hey guys, looking to compile information on IFS. I have done a lot of searching online, and most ford ifs info leads back to this forum, which does not surprise me. But, the threads I have found, usually end us going the SAS route:thumbdwn: You may have seen my project on here...

    Highroads Long Travel Trac V8 Swap

    Going to be looking for some help here as I just started pulling the 5.0 out of my 98' 5.0 mountaineer donor tonight. A little background on my Trac. It is an 01' Job 2 that I bought from a kid in socal about a year ago. It started life in 01' by going to Offroad Mag. Here is a little...

    01' Trac front driveline interchange?

    Hey Guys, I bought an 01' job2 S. trac that came with a bad front driveline. The pin in the cv joint is bad so the repair is pretty expensive. I have searched the local yards for a sport trac driveline but not had much luck. Will a 4.0 explorer front driveline work? The yard thought it...

    BW 4406 SLE Kit?

    Hey guys, I have done some searching and have not had any luck locating a slip yoke eliminator for a BW 4406 T-case. Just looking for a "hack and tap" etc. The driveshaftsuperstore.com site is not accepting orders and the phone just rings so that does not appear to be an option any longer...

    97' Mounty 5.0 Stroker

    I recently bought a high mileage 97' mountaineer with the 5.0. The truck will be getting long travel suspension and a stroker motor to motivate it. I plan to swap either a manual shift t-case out of a f-150 or a 4spd atlas to get lowrange/two wheel drive. Not sure if I am going to stick with...

    Expo. Vs. Mountaineer?

    I searched but did not come up with anything....... I am looking seriously at a 97 Mounty with the V8/awd. From the time I have spent on this forum, the expo and mounty seem to be the same except badging etc. Is this true? I plan to put a stroker motor in it and set the a- arms/leafs up...

    Second Gen Auto Trans

    I am considering building a v8 explorer for prerunning. Is there a preferable year or auto transmission? I have gathered that Mid 96' the 5.0 got the "p" heads. What about the transmission? Do they hold up okay to a moderately built 5.0? Are there any options with the stock trans...

    1st Gen Automatics

    Do all 1st Gen explorers have the same auto trans in them? Is there a preferable model/year? What about the 5 speed? Should I consider the 5-speed for a prerunner build? Thanks, Brent

    1st Gen and Man. shift T-case?

    I am looking for a first Gen Explorer. How many came with manual shift t-cases. It seems that most of them that i look at have the prone to failure push button shift. I saw a 5 speed explorer today that had the manual shift t-case. Is it random? What combo came with the Manual shift t-case...

    95+ TTB swap?

    I am looking to build a prerun explorer. It will be 4x4 and I would really like to go with a v8. Has anybody cleaned off the A-arms on a Gen II and swapped in a TTB? I assume that the steering box would be an issue and obviosly the steering linkage would be different as well as suspension...
