So, I’ve got an 01 Explorer sport. Fun little rig but no 4wd. Took it to senior skip day at a local beach with a bunch of friends. Little overcast and it’s been wet so I was thinking it’d fare well enough without my 4wd working (I’ve never had the chance to drive on the beach or go off-roading I...

Hey guys I’ve looked at quite a few threads and haven’t really found my answer. But has anyone used the truxxx.com 3” lift kit? Part number is #101055. And if so what shocks are you running, what size tires and wheels and should I do anything else with it or may I need additional parts (steering...

I have a 2006 Eddie Bauer and and hoping to add a few options. I pulled the navigation out of a mountaineer and installed that then got a Aux, Memory seats / switch and heated mirrors /switch. I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to add these options. I mainly want add...

Hi everyone I have a '03 4.0l that for the better part of 6 months I've been fixing different problems on, coolant leaks being of them, and this is the latest in the saga. so at the end of may this year, my car developed a coolant leak. which was 'fixed' by reseating the thermostat o-ring which...

Hello. First of all, this is my first post here...seriously, the knowledge you guys have has gotten me through most of my repair question. My apologies in advance...This is gonna be a long, but an issue I've been having since January has taken me on a wild ride, and today just got stranger...

I've got a 4.0 SOHC engine out of a 2001 Explorer Sport XLT (2wd, 4 door, auto), and I'm about to attempt to put it into my '94 Explorer Sport (2wd, 2 door, manual). Will it even work? If so, what pointers would anyone have to offer? Thanks in advance.

To follow up with my recent spam of posts I've been considering this swap since I got my X. I would like to hear from others about what they did and the parts used and the budget and time frame and any complications they came across. I know I need a transmission pedal assembly master and slave...

(I'm Xavier) Hey all. Sort of new here. I drive an Emerald Green 1993 Ford Explorer (93 is the model year, it was actually assembled in November 1992, so the truck is older than me by several months). It has the Eddie Bauer package and 2-wheel drive. I bought it used last year in December and...

I've removed the sway bar and pushed it aside. Oil pan is unbolted at the moment. Before I remove the cross member below the oil pan, just want to make sure there isn't an easier way. This seams easier than unbolting the engine mounts and lifting the engine/trans.

Can I swap my 96 Explorer 4 R 70 w all-wheel drive transmission 4 99 Mountaineer aode 2 wheel drive transmission? Do I have to change the PCM or is it just a wiring issue and what about the DTRS. I shortened the drive shaft and I'm using the original transfer case am I doing this correctly?

Hey guys. Today I've got a question on something some may consider childish, but it's also a question that could help preserve my transfer case clutch. I plan on doing the BWM in the near future because why not, and I know that allowing the TCC to slip will eventually destroy it. So as to avoid...

Looking for a used trans for my explorer as mine sadly went on me :(

Hello, I suspect I will be working on the front end again soon. My question, If the front wheel bearings are bad, will I be replacing the entire hub assembly or just bearings? It's a two wheel drive that I've recently replaced upper and lower ball joints, both sides. New tires 4 months ago, new...

Hey guys - I recently replaced all 4 shocks on my 1999 Sport 2WD with KYB Gas-a-just to try and fix what feels like the whole car shaking more than it ought whenever I'd hit a bump or pothole or whatever. I have the silly monoleaf springs on the rear axle, with stock shackles. Can anyone offer...

Can you remove and grease the front caliper pins without having to compress the caliper Pistons? I'm changing the front bearings tomorrow and I also want to grease the pins while I'm at it. I also have to use two brands of bearings unfortunately as usps lost my package that had the inner...

Hi. I have a 2000 stock Ford Explorer 2 WD and the front end needs to be totally rebuilt. I am wanting to change the engine to the 5.0L that came in the Mercury Mountainer, and switch it to AWD also from the Mercury. Can this be done? If so, any and all information and advice is greatly...

Is there a way to swap master cylinder/vac booster w/o getting air in the HCU? I have a 93 Sport 2wd with 4w ABS. The brakes work great, but the MC has a slow leak (light comes on and I top it off every 2-3 months). The vacuum booster has missing paint and some rust right below the MC attach...

Reading the all the instructions again for the bodylift instructions on the Thread. i noticed when i pulled out my parts they look completely different to the pictures posted, i order the same exact kit, is it just that mine is a more updated version of the same kit? also i read somewhere...

So, while up north hunting (well, more like on the way up there), I noticed that I had some cupping of the inside edge of my front tires. It looks like it has been going on for a while, but I never noticed it before because I do mostly city driving, thus the vibration and noise aren't prevalent...

Hello all, I've recently been witnessing the "beginning of the end" of my transfer-case's natural life. In efforts to extend the use of my truck, it has been converted to 2Wheel drive from the case forward. Knowing that a transfer case rebuild is likely necessary in the near future, i'm...

Hi all, I'm new to both this forum and owning a sport trac, just got mine 6 hours ago. I've been watching this forum for a week or two now and this is what put me over the edge to get one, so thank you all:salute:. I got a question though; the truck I got is 4x2, I really wanted a 4x4 but at my...
