about 4 bucks, but nothing cool,,
 






front diff compatibility,
My front diff in the 08 is making some noises,,

does anybody know from what other years the front diff will fit ,??

i am not sure, but somebody said the one i have out of a 98 Explorer is not a fit ,,

i would like to fix it myself if i can figure that out, if not i have to go to the dealer,, ugh,,,
 






Update,,

seems the front diff was down a bit and i got to it before it got wrecked,,

put in new gear oil, , and it seems good to go again,, :)
 






added this today,, 30 inch,, 180 watt,,

i have 2 sets of mounts,, so they'll make it on soon,, :)
 






Hey Pete keep us updated, looking good so far.
 






work slowed a bit , had a heart attack, but as soon as the doc says okay, i'm gonna do some things with this truck,
 






got a Superlift, a body lift and some 35's calling her Name,,
 






Take care of yourself! Trucks can wait!
 






OH i FULLY intend on waiting till i am better before i start this,,
 






Good grief, it's slow in here. Glad you are still hanging in there with us Pete. You just take care of yourself.
 






Hmmm,, bit of an issue developed,,

driving into town last weekend cruising along all fine and shiz, and it happened,,,

Rounded a corner and started up a hill, about 3/4 of the way to the top it shifted back from o/d to i believe 4th gear, as it did the rpm's went way up, almost to the 6000 range,,,

i let off the pedal and eased it back on slowly a few times,, as i crested he hill it must have shifted back into the o/d cause it caught and i continued on my way, ,

got to a corner with a stop sign,, came to a complete stop,, no worries,,
lanes were clear , pushed the gas,, no movement, ,
pulled the shifter down to 2 gear, away i went,, , but it seems i am missing a few gears now,,

it will take off, shift a couple times, than it's missing one, o/d works, , no reverse though,,

so off to Manitoba i go to get one after Vroomzoomboom found one for me at a great price ,
Thanks Tim,,

yeah there is some crap in the back of the Explorer,.,, but there is a transmission,, :)
