BT93's 97 eddie V8

[bt93]

I've been lurking the fourms looking for the "right" explorer some time time now. Well I found it last night. 97 Eddie Bauer V-8 with a whopping 167,x.. miles. Don't let the miles fool you this thing is CLEAN. I plan on getting the tri bar oem wheels and a tt with shackles and some NICE MT's. The only thing it needs is a front d-shaft, its popping like heck!

these are for sale

BTW: This is a 97.5 year model with the external EGR which means it has the GT-40P heads. But still the stupid stamped manifolds. The passenger side ticks under load.

The factory sub sounds great also

A-hole. The sub is blown, actually dry rotted. Looking for a new one as we speak.

That one actually made me chuckle.

New problem. I got the front d-shaft put in and i still have a popping noise, it is much less violent of a noise but still a good pop. I'm thinking the left front cv axle. That seems to be where its coming from. Can anyone verbally explain how a bad cv sounds?

 

[bt93]

Bad deal. Had the ford store look at it and the transfer case chain is slipping.

 

[bt93]

Ok dropped the t case tonight, mountaineergreen has pics. cracked the case to find a massively stretched chain. Bought a used case today from a 96 sure hope its good!

let us know how it goes.
