Glad it helped. Sometimes it makes it feel like a new vehicle.

Then this mod will not help. Check out my other vids if you would like.

will this work for the 4.0 too?

 

[EBexplorer95]

[jlsparky7]

Yes. Any vehicle with a throttle cable.

As many as you can fit with still having a little slack in the line. 2 worked for me.

my explorers throttle body at wot is wide open and it has never had a new throttle cable and it has over 400 thousand miles on it. this must just work on old explores. mines a 96 with the 4.0

Hm. I will definitely have to do this.
Me and my friends "race" (First one to the speed limit wins, 40mph, 45mph etc.) This will definitely help.
Getting on the freeway has never been a problem with me either, but I'm sure it will be easier with this.

I did this today and my truck idles a lot better too now.

hi all.

I only see one problem with this. Its that the cord can only stretch so much, after that you have to worry about snapping it. What then? You'd have to get a completely new cable and then install that. Thats all that I worry about...

I think the engine will blow up before that cable snaps.

Well I know what I'm doing tomorrow! I have a '96 XLT 5.0. I would be at work tomorrow... But I'm in the hospital with my wife, we're having my son in the next couple of hours. Thanks for the tip!!!

I had my 300k motor and cable up to 5,000 rpms the other night in some rain drifting / burnouts with this mod ....no problems

hey this was a pretty cool little mod. i just did it to my 91 ex and though obviously no horsepower gain it was really good for throttle response. thanks
