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...

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've been chasing a P0171/P0174 code for half a year now with no resolution. I did the typical "throw parts at what I think is most likely the issue" but I'd like to be a bit more methodical now and actually figure out the issue. I have discovered This Thread by 2000StreetRod which seems to...

Well I think It's about time I considered letting her go. I have a 1998 Sport 2WD with the 4.0 OHV and the 5 speed manual. It has 135K miles and I've changed the oil every 3K miles. A/C blows super cold Heater works great Tranny shifts great The clutch was replaced when I got it three...

According to this thread, I am working on converting my truck to 4WD. I'm for sure doing "half" of the swap first. this includes tranny, transfer case, and rear driveshaft. that way I at least have low gear and just need to decide what I want for the front suspension. I am 90% sure that I'm...

I found a transmission for sale on craigslist from an 01 ranger with the 3.0L. If it is in fact an M5OD, would it bolt up the same to my 4.0 in my explorer?

I am officially starting my conversion over to 4WD. I located a complete front end out of a 98 four door. the yard wants $350 for the Differential, knuckles, CV's and Rotors. I'm gonna look around for a better deal, but I'm not sure I'm going to find one. My concerns are these: 1) I have in my...

so I have REALLY wanted a brush guard on my truck to have a functional and stylish way to add some aux. Lighting to my rig. however, I can't justify spending much money for it, and I haven't seen any pop up on craigslist. what I propose to do is to add a brushguard-like structure to my stock...

I am currently searching the answer on the world wide web, But I thought I'd ask here too just in case. I was driving my 2000 Hyundai Accent down the freeway. It has been having trouble with overheating the last couple times I drove it. I assumed it was a thermostat or something since there...

hey all! my Explorer currently has the OHV 4.0 and it feels really sluggish. it pulls great at higher revs and it runs excellent. it just doesn't have the low end torque that I would expect from a truck. It is currently 2WD but I'm gonna change it to 4WD from the same vehicle that donates the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmVEkgGPT18 my Ex started making this sound today. the sound only shows up when its warm. at first, my dad and I figured it was the belt squeaking, but the sound seems to be originating from the rear of the engine. I have NO idea where to start diagnosing...

hey guys! heres a back story to get yer attention: My grandfather owns a 79 Mustang with the 2.1L turbo and 4-speed. its in overall ok condition. clean body and decent interior. its been sitting in his lot for a number of years, and he swears all it needs to run are a starter and a...

well, another one of my shocks bit the dust again. I was driving on a bad gravel road for a while and the bottom bolt on my drivers rear shock fell out. It told me about it by dragging on the road for a couple hundred feet. I took it off and drove it home and it didn't feel like I had a...

well This plan is only in its infancy, but I REALLY want to put a turbo diesel into my 98 X sport. I'm looking for recommendations on a good donor vehicle. I've been looking at some 3.2L turbo Isuzu trucks, but there aren't a whole lot around. I was also wondering if I could put in a 2...

well my cats are plugged up so they need to be replaced. I went to Stuarts and a new one would cost $390! :eek: needless to say, I dont want to pay that much. in addition, it seems that it doesn't have the original muffler, I'm not sure what it is. it's loud on the outside an inside and I...

Ladies and Gentlemen.... I give you... A Ford Explorer!!!!! Hooray for being elite! now if I only had money for Mods... and I would like to say thanks to all the people who have helped me with my problems, and I assure you, there will be many more silly questions asked by me! UPDATE...

just got done with a long awaited-for project on the explorer today! I went to Pick-a-Part and pulled a Uhaul hitch from a 95 and put it on my 98 and wired it up. it took me almost 4 hours including getting the part, but I move slow. the only problem is the left turn signal in the...

I've been scouring the threads and my haynes manual and even tried wikipedia. all I need to know is how much transmission fluid the M50D-R1 takes and what type. I need to drain it and fill it but I don't know how much to buy! Thanks in advance

couldn't find the info anywhere else. out of curiosity, would the P235/75R15 from my Explorer fit on my friends blazer which currently runs P235/70R15? I'm not sure if the wheels are the same width or not.

Well, as of last week, my car hasn't started. wont crank over, wont even "click-click"!!! nothing. I've tried testing fuses, relays, the battery, the starter and the solenoid; all good. I've disabled the clutch switch, thinking that that was keeping the truck from starting but that made no...

What does it mean if I have corrosion on my negative battery terminal? the terminal was on really tight. this seems to be the cause of my sploder not starting. I would like to know why the corrosion happens. thank you in advance!
