    Possible Nuetral Safety Problem?? Help.

    I am trying to help a friend diagnose a no start condition. Sometimes the truck won't start, (2000 4.0L) then she jiggles the shifter handle and it starts. In my opinion, it's the Neutral Safety switch on the tranny. Could it be anything else? Thanks.

    NEED HELP ASAP!! Rotors Stuck, can't remove.

    I am helping out a neighbor with a brake job. The emergency brake seems to be locked or frozen in the expanded position, now the rotors won't budge. I've tried liquid wrench, brake cleaner, hitting it with a hammer and nothing. Any other suggestions?? Ps: The E-Brake is not depressed, just in...

    5.0 Swap Throttle Cable

    I am using the stock '96 Explorer Intake, with a TB Spacer, but no elbow. I wanted the internal egr set up. I have seen aftermarket throttle cable sets that you can make your cable/linkage and thought about maybe going that route. I know Lokar has various kits available, just a thought.

    5.0 Swap Throttle Cable

    So what is everyone using for a 5.0 swap throttle cable with a mustang throttle body? I believe the linkage is different on the Mustang TB than the Explorer TB. Any input is appreciated. (BTW- Yes I tried the search, nothing specific after an hour of searching so I'm trying a post) :-)

    How To: Install Camshaft & Rocker Arms

    Wow, how did you learn to do all this stuff all by yourself? Is it just that easy to install? Your my hero Section! By the way, did you have any problems with rocker arm clearence and the stock explorer valve covers (which are significantly shorter than the 89-93 mustang covers)

    !!HELP!! Body Bushing Removal

    I am now frustrated beyond belief. I had a Body lift installed a few years back by FlY-N-HI (My first mistake) and now I'm trying to replace the body mount bushing and the damn things won't budge. The front mounts under the radiator came off with no problem, but the mount under the...

    5.0 swap? Consider using the 4R70W !!

    Joe, Yes, you can re-use any year Adavanced Adapter tailshaft for the AOD and 1354 in any 4R70W and AODE. You will need to purchase a special pin and sleeve to block the oiling passages. On Tuesday I tore down the 4R70W and re-assembeled it. Not to hard. Good Luck.

    Need help with pinion angles

    What if I get the angle close, then tack weld it. After it all goes together I could shim the leaf pack to get it perfect. How much shimming is possible?

    Need help with pinion angles

    I'm in the process of swapping a '99 Explorer 8.8 rear axle (4.10 gears, disc brakes) into my '94 Sport. I'm almost ready to paint the axle and install but I would really like to weld the spring perches first, then paint it all at once. Since I'm doing a SOA conversion my question is this, does...

    Interior - Seat swap?

    Well the truck is going through a major make-over and the leather seats in my opnion make it just a wee bit nicer, just my opinion though.

    Interior - Seat swap?

    I chose an upgrade to leather out of a '98 Explorer. My old seats are actually in perfect condition. I'm probably going to post them on Ebay and try to get rid of them.

    Interior - Seat swap?

    Anyone know if the rear seat out of a '97 Explorer Sport will bolt into the rear of a '94 Explorer Sport? I don't want any modifications done if it can be avoided. Thanks. Derek

    4.0 from auto to 5 speed

    I have a guy who is interested in buying my old motor and he asked if he could just bolt up the 5 speed tranny to my 4.0 that came out with the auto. I can't see why it shouldn't bolt up? Any thoughts? Thanks.

    body lift

    It really all depends on your needs of the truck, to just achieve larger tires the 2" kit will be fine. I myself went with the 3" because I knew I wanted a 5.0 in future so that made extra clearance for the intake, etc. the 2" also has the advantage of relocating the bumper brackets a bit...

    need engine quick!

    I'm getting ready to post my '94 4.0L that has about 80,000 miles on it. Was running when removed, trading in for a 5.0L HO. If you don't need all the accessories we may be able to work something for the parts you need. Email me at Usafdb@netscape.net if you have any questions. Derek

    Intake Manifold ??

    Can I use the GT-40 intake manifold (upper & lower) off a 5.0 Explorer? I noticed an elbow on the upper manifold that looks like it would clear the a/c components. Thanks again for the help. Derek

    Oil Pans?

    I'm looking for an oil pan to use on my 5.0L swap. All the info I've gathered says I need a '84-'93 dual sump pan off a mustang. Does anybody know if the pan off a '96 5.0L Explorer will work in my '94 Explorer swap project? Thanks. Derek

    Shocks for SOA

    Since your moving the shock mount and spring perch above the axle tube your stock shock length is the size required. Even though it appears you've lifted the rear end you actually relocated the springs and your suspension travel stays the same. Hope that helped.
