4.0l

So, bear with me here, this'll sound pretty stupid. I got three ideas to put out there. 92 Explorer XL 4x4. Virtually stock but lots of repairs to OEM, looking to change that before October 31st hits as I will hopefully participating in the local Gambler 500. Slight lift from new front...

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...

Issue is with a RHD Australian 12/2000 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0L SOHC On a really hot day (over 40C) truck goes into Limp Home Mode (LHM) and will not drive faster than 15Kph. It is OK on other days! When it is running normally it drives and sounds fantastic having installed new timing chains...

I have only been able to find information on the 3.0L thermostat location. My vehicle is a 4.0L and I can't find the thermostat. It has been running cold with the temperature only moving up a little even on the interstate but the heater still works good. Runs pretty roughly though with stalling...

Well, 230k miles and the timing chain gave out on my '03 4.0L without warning. I'd like to put a used engine back in the car, already have the old one out, and figure $800 or less for an engine with under 150k miles is worth it, and for sure put new gears, chain, and tensioners in it. I'm pretty...

Hello ive been following this page for a while never signed up, I have a 1996 Ford Explorer sport 2wd 4.0L V6 wanted to know if anyone here has done an automatic to manual transmission swap on my type of explorer, I’ve found many on different years but not mine and I want to make sure I get...

Hi, I had to replace the slave cylinder on my Ranger. Had to drop the tranny to get to it. In order to drop the tranny, I separated the transfer case from the transmission and when I was got them separated, I noticed a very thin, now mangled washer lying on the driveway. Ford dealership wasn't...

Hello all, I've been having trouble removing the starter. I'm able to get two bolts off on the right side of the component itself, but I'm not sure if I'm missing anything else as it's not becoming loose. It's such a pain to even reach it, so I'm kinda lost. Does anybody have any tips? Or maybe...

Hey! I've been wondering if deleting the resonator on the V6 will make a big difference in sound, of course it won't have the big, mean sound of a V8, but I'd like my truck to be a bit louder than it is currently. What all would removing the resonator entail? I'd like to keep everything in front...

Forgive me for posting this, however, I'm the epitome of a beginner... I just want something with a little bit more rumble than stock... I also don't want to cut anything. What size inputs can I fit stock on my 1997 4.0L SOHC V6? Sorry again for my incredibly stupid question, but thank you for...

I'm in search of a A4LD out of a 91-94 Explorer/Ranger with a 4.0L I have a 1991 Explorer I use as a work truck and the transmission needs replacing, the motor is still strong and I like the truck. I would prefer something low mileage but I know that's a little of a stretch. I live in the...

Hey good people.. This code is saying that the input turbine speed shaft sensor is malfunctioning. Would this particular code make the transmission buck shifting between 1st and second gear? I went to auto zone. And they sold me a vehicle speed sensor which was incorrect. A place I will no...

ok so i recently posted how I purchased a 98 explorer eddie bauer for $580. only to find out that it needed a transfer case, front dif and a freeze plug. Amongst other minor things like brakes and rotors. So I found a mechanic to do all the work for about $600 if I purchase the parts. The engine...

Hey all, I have a 2000 Ford Explorer 4.0L SOHC and while driving on the highway my oil pressure gauge dropped below L. After pulling over, the engine started to run roughly and rattle so I immediately shut it off. Upon inspection of the oil level, I don't seem to be leaking or burning oil. Does...

Just picked up the Cortex 1950 from Superchips. I had already been running 91 Octane for the last few thousand miles. Went with performance tune last night to see the result. More grunt driving around town, shifts firmer. Drove 60 miles to work today on the highway. Highway...

hey new here. just bought a 4.0L 2004 Explorer XLS. I am having an issue tho. when I am driving it has A LOT of lag. getting to 40 KPH is hard but then gets worse from 40-60. I have had a scanner done (engine light IS on) and it pulled a ton of codes. including O2 sensors and...

Hi, Folks, I'm looking at a 2000 Explorer XLT in very clean and straight shape for cheap. "Minor" problem....the owner says it needs a new timing chain and is not running. It quit just as he rolled into his driveway. Now, for the dumb question. Is the SOHC engine an interference motor...

2005 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Ed. 4.0L SOHC Flex Fuel It all started about 3 months ago when the check engine soon light came on our Explorer. Autozone pulled the code and said it was something in the fuel. The options it gave were Fuel Pressure Sensor, Fuel Pressure Regulator, Fuel...

HELP!!!!!!!!! I have a 1997 explorer 4.0L that i just bought. I found out that the truck had the wrong mass airflow meter, and it also ran like crap. I changed the maf and no change in how it ran. I cleared the maf code and drove it on jacks to get another code. The cel came back on with lean...

Hey guys I am looking at buying an '02 Explorer with a blown up 4.0L SOHC. Junkyard engines are really expensive ($1500 for a good used one with 125,000 miles on it!). My plan was to find a donor '98-01 Ex. with a good engine for less than $1000, and swap the good engine from the donor into the...

Hi Guys, I have a problem with a 1994 Ford Ranger with a 4.0L, 5 spd manual Transmission. I read alot of previous threads and can not find a solution. The vehicle starts fine. When driving the vehicle, we have an intermittent power loss condition, feels like half the cylinders are not...

I have a 4.0 L automatic 4X4 1995 explorer and its got a serious miss and very poor mileage. I would love to save the truck but am thinking it may need a new drive train. I would love to upgrade to a V8 but am aware they were not equipped with this option in that year. I would love to drop a...
