Epoxy Use 5 minute epoxy. If it still gives you trouble, I can make you one out of aluminum, just email me for details. I have been meaning to post pics of mine that I turned on the lathe down at work (gotta love woking in a machine shop!).

Possibly, but... David, If the transfer case ended up in the same exact spot (or even give or take an inch maybe two) then yes the same driveshafts would work, but the question wouldn't be with the adapter from the tranny to the t-case, it would be the tranny itself. I say this because the...

David, Yeah, a stronger tranny would be nice, but my buddy has a time and money budget. He can't afford to have his truck down for that amount of time to get it right, plus then he'd have to get new driveshafts, tranny cross member brace fabbed, etc. He went ahead and had the A4LD rebuilt...

Here is the deal. My buddy just bought his first Explorer last week. 1992 4 door Eddie Bauer with the A4LD. Very similiar to mine except I have the M5OD and the XL trim package. Anyways, to make a long story short, his A4LD tranny blew already even though it was rebuilt 20,000 miles ago...

113,000miles 113,000 miles with one complete clutch job, a few sets of brake shoes and pads (need to to complete brake job in a month or so), 2 cat back exhausts, fuel pump, new shocks (need another set of those too), alternator is about to go, and I think the power steering pump is going to...

My sounds, Some Good, Some Not So Good I have a horrible CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK when I start up. Its the exhaust hitting the tranny cross member, the holder rusted away, and I use all of my money towards gas that makes it go BOOM BOOM because I am still undecided as to what exhaust is going to...

Three Ways I have the Pioneer three ways (listed in my signature) and I love them. Best thing you can do after upgrading your head unit. If you wait and shop around (maybe model year closeouts, Chirstmas sale, etc. ) you should be able to get them for around $95 a pair, which was only like $5...

AM General A Humvee, also a BMW R90S (its a motorcycle), for sure. I want one of those so bad, you don't even know.

I went to the local auto parts store here (after 95,000 miles on the original clutch). I bought whatever the cheapest one they had off the shelf was. It ended up being a Borg Warner (I think it was like around $140), and I still like it after 6,000+ miles. Also, make sure you change the slave...

BFGs Good Pack, Go for the BFGs, that is what I have and I like them very much. They are quiet, well minded on and off road, have good wet traction and make snow travel a breeze. Hope this helps.

BFGoodrich LongTrail T/A's work for me (I live in Southwest Michigan and we get TONS of lake effect snow). Also, they work on the trails around here (mostly easy stuff any stocker can do) and are quiet, work well in rain, and are very modest in price. I believe mine were like around $80, and I...

I think that the bolts that came with the kit I used had all 1 inch grade 8 bolts and lock nuts, not lock washers. I did have to grind away some of the bracket that holds the fuel filter to get it to slide back into there. You might want to replace the fuel filter while you are in there. It...

I guess that they are a little more expensive than I had planned, but that's ok, I'll figure out something. Like Andre said, where there is a will, there is a way.

Andre, One more thing, Detroit Diesel is the one actually manufacturing the engine, so Dodge is just putting it into their Durango. Buying one directly from Detroit Diesel and going from there is different than buying one off a Durango. Also, putting any diesel in our Explorers is going to...

Andre, I was planning on going and plucking some money off of Rick's money tree, and then I'll have the money to do whatever I want just like Rick.

fos4us, I had to remove my exhaust to drop my tranny. I just unbolted the y-pipe and took off the catalytic converter and I was good to go. I honestly think that there is just not enough room to drop the tranny w/o taking off the exhaust, especially if you are dropping the tranny for the...

4.0L V6 I remember reading a while back in on the the 4 wheeler magazines about how Dodge is working with Detroit Diesel to develop a 4.0L V6 for their Durango. You can bet that if and when this engine comes out I am making the swap, especially since I have almost no engine mods to date. I...

Looks Great Rick, Looking great there Rick, and I know that your beauty works as well on the trails as it looks, eh? Is that same rear bumper setup that you had before?? Do you have plans for it?? Thanks.

If you were gonna do that dangerous spark plug fill up trick, take off two spark plugs (i.e. 1 and 4 or 2 and 5 or 3 and 6 (firing order correct? too lazy to go look it up)). Then you won't get the rough idle and you'll essentially have a really loud 4 cylinder with really bad gas mileage, eh?

Do NOT pound the new ball joints in!!!! You will do one of two things: 1. Damage them or 2. Put them in crooked, both not good. Take them to a competent machine shop and have them pressed in, costs like $12 and then you don't risk messing them up. You can bang the old ones out, just keep...

Rick, Noticed that you changed your wheels. Do you still have the old 15x8s?? Are they the stock 5 by 4.5 bolt pattern?? If you do, I might want to buy them off you depending on their condition, and if I can scrap up some money. I really love the look of your old wheels, and they will...

Honestly, I am not sure. My Expo came with the manual tranny stock, and I have taken it dwon twice in the last year for clutch work (didn't know that I needed to replace the slave cylinder the first time) and it actually wasn't that hard. I suppose that you would have to take out your old...

Manuals Now is your chance to put that manual into it, and I reccommend it too.

I would definltely reccommend the Pioneer 6x8's that I have (see below in my signature for the model number). I got them at Best Buy on sale for $95 a pair, they are a perfect fit, no trimming needed at all. Sound great and the best thing is that I will never blow them with the receiver I...

Hu? I also have a 1992 XL, but I have a rear window wiper that come on from the factory, was it an option? Also, it can't be that hard, just a wiper with a switch snaked throught the whole truck. If you do put one on, you may want to add a delay to the switch so it doesn't do the annoying...
