    M5OD Swap or Stick with A4LD?

    So I'm still trying to figure out what was causing my flex plates to break so often. I've done a fair amount of research and found that a possible cause of my headaches is the bell housing and the torque converter bushing are probably shot. The busing needs to be specially lathed into place, and...

    M5OD Swap or Stick with A4LD?

    The history behind the vehicle is as follows: My dad purchased it in 2002, and had a new transmission put in it about a year later, and had the torque converter rebuilt at the same time. (I was still in middle school at this time, so I don't know exactly what the issues were) Whatever issues...

    M5OD Swap or Stick with A4LD?

    My 1993 xlt has the A4LD transmission and I've just put my 4th flex plate in it. After the first start up, everything is normal except for the puddle of ATF that was accumulating underneath. It turns out at the torque converter seal has also blown out. So after much frustration, and...

    But before I replace the flex plate I want to know if I can reuse my crankcase bolts (the ones that tie the flex plate and spacer to the crank) if they only had 3000 miles on them?

    It's been way too long since I've posted. Since my last post, my ex broke another flex plate, and I just ordered some new parts. I also bought a Cherokee on 31s that I really like, and my explorer is now my tinker toy.

    Vinyl Hatch Glass

    Does anybody know where the best place to find a vinyl replacement for the hatch glass? I've seen the one on the pumpkin, but I can't find a website or anywhere else to find these.

    New Flywheel But...

    I took it to a transmission shop, and they said that the starter was slightly touching the flywheel, and that I needed a new one. So, I went to Advance Auto and got a new one. Needless to say, it didn't work. But the good news is that I found that the block plate is touching the flywheel, and...

    New Flywheel But...

    I installed a new flywheel after my old one broke, but when I started it up, it makes a grinding/scraping/terrible sound from the flywheel/torque converter. I can't really isolate what the issue is. Does anybody have any clues what it could be?

    1993 Flexplate

    I've put in two flexplates (flywheels) in my truck, and I'm starting to think that the one I have in there now is on its way out. I have this feeling because it makes a terrible sound when I go to start it. Instead of a smooth start, it clunks, and grinds, and sounds terrible when I start it. I...

    Green Beast

    I liked them a lot. I'm planning on buying two tires to match the rear. They got worn out because I had tons of issues with the front end when I lifted it and they were never aligned. But once I did get it aligned they began to wear like theyre supposed to, minus the damage that was already...

I bought a 93 f150 (4x4, manual transmission, manual transfer case, manual hubs, manual windows, door locks, and mirrors) she was rugged as hell, but the 302 took a dump on me and I had to let it go just 6 months after I got her...

    Knocking, Clunking, Popping, Snapping Sound...

    For a long time now, my truck has been making this popping sound. It only occurs when I turn the steering wheel, go over speed bumps, or switch from drive to reverse. Its coming from the front end, and its an alarming sound. I can feel it pop in the steering wheel a little, but the steering...

    Well I fixed the axle shaft seal. I had to venture to 4 different parts stores to actually find it, and it wasn't that hard to get the old one out, and put the new one in. Ill post some pics tomorrow of the Green Beast.

    Green Beast

    The guys down at crossroads automotive got it out, so I had to go to salvage yard, and pull one. It was free. However, CarFix could not align my truck due to a loose wheel bearing that I didn't even notice, so I fixed that issue, and discovered that my driver's side axle shaft seal is...
