What model of transfer case is in the 2020 Explorer/Aviator? All I know is that it's a single-speed case without low range. Would it be possible to swap in a TC from a Ranger or F-150 to get low range? Not sure how different the 10R80 in those is different on the TC side from the 10R60 in the...

Did a SAS on my '94 Explorer years ago and the brakes were always mushy afterward (build thread in sig). Axles were a Dana 60 and Sterling 10.25" from an '87 F-350. I put a new master cylinder for a '79 Ford on and bypassed the Explorer's ABS pump. Finally lost brakes the last time I had it...

...but she'll get her chance. She is only two weeks old, after all. :D Introducing the newest member of the family, Katelyn Rose, born 2/18/12. Mom (Goldilocks here), baby, and I are all doing well. This is our first! I hate to say it but I think we're going to have to miss another May...

Really need some help here. I know enough to make myself dangerous with internet access, apparently. I was using MSConfig to try to get some programs from not running at startup. I guess I unchecked the wrong thing and now I keep getting this error message: "The application has failed to...

Goldilocks and I are going to need another DD vehicle for commuting, has a back seat, 4 doors, and storage, so of course I'm thinking another Explorer. Miss DDing my '94 but it's not exactly street legal anymore. :exporange We need 4WD/AWD for winter since we live in the country. It's about...

I'm doing some research for my dad, who just got a 2008 Escape AWD. I know the Escape isn't meant for anything hardcore, but dad wants to put a 1.5" lift on it with some new wheels and tires. In '08 the Escape went to 16 and 17 inch wheels from the prior 15. The stock wheels have about 40 mm...

I've been meaning to get on here for a while but it has been very busy and hectic for us. We have made two trips to Joplin--the first was Monday 5/23 -Wed. 5/25 and then another Fri. 5/27-Mon. 5/30. We'll be going back again this coming weekend. BethAnn's (Goldilocks) parents are fine. Their...

I finally got the Bronco II gas tank for my swap. You'll need a tank from an EFI B2, and the fuel pump/sending unit assembly from an '89 or '90 B2. Since my Explorer is a wheeler, the stock "coffin" tank needs to go since it is more likely to be damaged. The skid plate on mine has taken a...

Hope it's not a repost! :smokinfro

We're going to look at one tomorrow. Just awaiting a couple more pics and finalizing details. Too bad we can't seem to find a vehicle we want within 200 miles of where we live. :rolleyes: FYI, we went to Plattsmouth, NE for my Explorer and Indianapolis, IN for her Firebird. Now it looks like...

I think sometime in the next few months I'll take the ham test. I'm not too worried about the test, but I was wondering if I could take all three at the same time and see if I pass. I know I want to at least get the General license for more HF use. At least that's what I think right now. I...

I'm just getting started with this. It's also tied to my SAS (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=237798). I plan on cutting up my existing manual shift BW1354 to be the low range box. I scored a good deal on a Ford 3-speed and "T-shift" Dana 20 from an early Bronco. The...

Looks like the "great" auto manufacturer ain't so great after all: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/08/29/cbsnews_investigates/main5273636.shtml

This guy is creative. I saw this on the full size Jeep board (have one of those, too). I about lost it! :D http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=102133

...and thought maybe somebody into models might be able to help. I need two gears (REALLY prefer metal, not plastic/nylon) 1. overall outer diameter 1 & 1/8", 1/4" thick 2. overall outer diameter 1/2", 1/4" thick And the teeth on these need to be able to mesh together. HELP!!!

I've been wanting to do this for a while, and I finally had the opportunity. I picked up my "new" axles yesterday: a HP Dana 60 front and a Ford Sterling 10.25" rear, both from an '87 F-350. My plans as of right now are: 5.38 gears rear Detroit Locker ? front doubler transfer case: BW...

OK, first off, I know not to buy Radio Shack coax. Next, what type should I get for CB? I know I need 50-ohm, but I want something that has low-loss since I will be using the bulk of my upcoming purchase to set up a CB base station antenna (5/8 wave ground plane). The leftovers will be for...

Even though I really shouldn't, I'm considering buying another Explorer. Because of our jobs, my wife and I need 4x4s to be able to get to work (now 20+ miles away since we moved to the country). My current X looks like this (this is the good side): It's a sometimes-driver (long...

How involved would it be to try to convert the M5OD-R1 in my '94 Explorer from the hydraulic clutch to a cable setup? I'm sick and tired of dealing with the hydraulic issues. I've searched old threads about this but couldn't find anything. Despite a recent bleeding, I'm still having...

I have always had a problem with the hydraulic clutch system in my 1994 Explorer. It usually only shows up once it starts getting warm out, and it started again today. Anytime the vehicle gets hot, such as on a 90* day with the A/C running, it starts getting hard to shift. Even with the...

I did some searching and couldn't find quite what I was looking for. What, exactly, would be involved in converting my 1994 Explorer 4-door from its current 4-wheel anti-lock brakes to rear-only ABS like the '91-'92 models? I'm trying to cover all of my bases before starting my solid axle swap.

I'm at my wits end here. I R&Rd the upper & lower intake gaskets as well as the valve cover gaskets. This was all in an attempt to fix an oil leak from the driver's side VC as well as trying to get my 1994 Ex to stop pinging on the highway. The lower intake gasket seemed OK, but I scraped a...

My 1994 Ex has shown no change in the low side pressure after adding 2 cans of R134a/oil. My neighbor mention a clogged orifice tube? Any advice on how to fix this?

Some of us from my club went wheelin' this last weekend and I thought I'd post some pics. My lightly modified Ex (2" lift, 33s, Lock Right in the rear) served as the guinea pig for a trail we're working on to see how a relatively stock vehicle would do. Here's a link to the whole album...
