    I need some advice for my exhaust please

    They don't sell the cats at junkyards, I think its against EPA regulations or some crap like that. I would love to just nab a used one but $65 isn't a bad price for a brand new one. The only reason my other one failed so soon was I drove it for a while with a lean condition. Oops

    I found a transfer case shifter! I pulled it from a 92 Ranger, it was just hanging there from when the yard pulled the tranny. I got so lucky! I'll try to install it in the next few weeks. I'm ready to have that part of the swap done and buttoned up

    I need some advice for my exhaust please

    Sweet! Just pulled the exhaust from a 96 Ex. I also pulled a shifter for my transfer case! I wasn't expecting to find that at all! I got the exhaust and shifter for $40, I'm feeling pretty good about that. I'll order a resonator to add to it, so long as theres a spot where it fits. I'd like to...

    I need some advice for my exhaust please

    oh will I need a resonator? I'm gonna add a tip so the exhaust actually exits out from under the truck and turns down. I want it to be as quiet as stock, if not more quiet. I was thinking about buying an aftermarket muffler for more performance, but I really don't want more noise. so I think...

    I need some advice for my exhaust please

    awesome! then i think I'll stop by the pick a part and see if I can nab a stock muffler for super cheap or stop by some auto shops and see if they have one kicking around. if I keep this on a tight budget I can afford to get my truck all fixed up and maybe buy some parts for the stang :chug:

    I need some advice for my exhaust please

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-53005/overview/ I forgot to add that my cat is bad again and I'm just gonna weld in a replacement myself. I was unhappy with the shops installation, I can and will do just as crappy and not pay extra for it. ./notthebestwelderbutimanage

    I need some advice for my exhaust please

    98 Sport 2WD OHV since I bought the truck back in 06 its had a crappy broken glasspack muffler and I really hate it. I liked it at first but now I really want a quiet exhaust. I had to replace the cats a couple years back and I had a shop put in a magnaflow "high flow" cat on 2.25" pipe from...

    2WD to 4WD conversion; 98 Sport

    UPDATE! so its been quite a long time since I've had the tranny in and have been thinking about this project. I nearly sold my Explorer cuz I'm having trouble making ends meet. but I finally have a job and school is still going so I'll be able to keep my head above water. The 4x4...

    Back into Explorers Again. Bought a 1994 5 spd 4x4

    I don't think the second gens came with twin sticks, but I have no idea! I now have a manual 1354 in my truck, just looking for a shifter for it. I'll be putting some sort of diff in the front, be it stock or solid axle. I think an SAS is just a pipe dream at this stage, but we'll see. I have...

    92 Sport Exhaust Install

    I'm resurrecting an old thread here: Anime referred to the Dynomax pipe. is that the dynomax catback exhaust HERE? they only have the SOHC and V8 listed. I am gonna weld another aftermarket cat in place, but I want to replace the crappy aftermarket exhaust back. would it be cheapest to...

    those are the Crager Soft 8's. I believe I got them off SummitRacing. $200 for the set at the time.

    2WD to 4WD conversion; 98 Sport

    thanks. It didn't do the reverse snag on the way home, I may have left the clutch in a bit longer. I'll mess around with it. I don't think my old tranny ever did that. If the reverse ends up not being an issue I may keep the 4x4 tranny. It has quieted down a bit since yesterday. I do have a...

    2WD to 4WD conversion; 98 Sport

    well I'm not leaking any fluids SO FAR. I drove down to Eugene with it, put about 80 miles on it. When I shift into reverse it "catches" as if I don't have the clutch in all the way. Forward gears have had no issues. the tranny is noisier than the 2WD one, I'm not convinced this tranny is in...

    2WD to 4WD conversion; 98 Sport

    WOOO!! All back together! A couple noteworthy things. I wasn't entirely sure whether I got the rear main seated properly. It was even and flush with the crank hub. couldn't get it flush with the block surface, which I think is where the original was at. unfortunately there was 2 weeks between...

    2WD to 4WD conversion; 98 Sport

    whew!! Transmission is in!! The best thing I could find to drive in the rear main seal was a 2-1/4" socket. worked well enough for me. The correct bolts for the flywheel was part #F77Z-6379-AC. Listed as intended for the SOHC, my OHV had them. the correct socket for not breaking them was a...

    can't find the part # for my flywheel bolts

    Well the "F77Z-6379-AC"s intended for the SOHC were the correct bolts for my truck. :dunno: I'll sell the other set on Ebay. The correct socket for working those bolts was a 12mm Star. I bought a set of star flavored torque wrench sockets at Harbor Freight for 8.99

    can't find the part # for my flywheel bolts

    I went ahead and ordered both sets of bolts. I am thinking the SOHC ones are what I need considering they come in a set of 8. I ordered 8 of the OHV ones too just in case I'm wrong. unfortunately neither sets are returnable considering they are special order. kinda pissed me off :^/ I...

    can't find the part # for my flywheel bolts

    There is one of those fastener supply places in Salem I'll have to try. I got a reply from fast parts network and they gave me the part # for what they were gonna sell me: according to this: I'm gonna check out the F77Z number... might be what I'm looking for

    can't find the part # for my flywheel bolts

    I ruined two of my flywheel bolts getting the flywheel off! I went to the salvage yard and nearly all of the trucks had different bolts than mine does. The one truck that had the same bolts I was unable to retrieve them due to rust and an incorrect socket. I have a 98 with the OHV and 5-speed...

    I ended up drilling a hole as well. rear main is replaced. I'm gonna order some new bolts for the flywheel tomorrow. I won't be able to finish her up until next weekend. I'm exhausted and I didn't get anything accomplished haha
