Anyone want to play with this Ex & keep me from parting it out? I bought it sight unseen to pull the transmission out of, but seeing how clean it is (and that there may be minor transmission differences)- I have ceased my efforts to remove the transmission & am offering you guys a chance to snag...

Hello, I am a proud owner of a mildly modified 98 XLT. Unfortunately- the throw out bearing is making noise, the tranny sometimes grinds a little going into 3rd, and some dummy (won't name names) didn't put sealant on the flywheel bolts when he rebuilt the engine about 14K ago- SO- I will be...

I recently discovered that my radiator needs replaced (was cleaning it up in preparation to re-install w/ my overbudget rebuilt engine)... I have a 98 with the 4.0l OHV & a 5 speed. I don't mind having a radiator with the aux. cooler built in- because I may put a power adder on at some point &...

Alright- haven't found the answers I am looking for through Search- so I'm asking you guys to help... I can see there being some advantage to tapping the big back hole on the rocker arms & inserting set screws to direct more oil to the pushrod tips... Anyone done this? If so- did it help...

I'm a little behind here, but thought it would be fun to document the build for my 98 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.0L 5-speed... Due to my wife (previously a CPA) keeping tabs on me- I couldn't spend as much on the rebuild as I would've liked to! I did purchase quality parts : Mahle, Clevite 77, Melling...

OK- I'm hoping to swap a turbo'd 2.3 into my 98 XLT 5-spd 4x4 previously equipped with a 4.0l ohv (2 cracked heads)... Can I use the Ranger 4x4 5-speed ( Mazda M5OD-R1) in it's entirety? Can I use a Ranger 4x2 5-speed & swap on my explorer tailshaft section? If the guts are...

I was previously led to believe that a 2.3L would fit my 4.0L trans... I have the 4x4 5-speed behind my 4.0 OHV engine. The engine has been removed & disassembled... The block & crank are good, but both heads are cracked. Since I'd be spending over $1100 to rebuild the 6- I was hoping to stick...

I haven't torn into the 4.0L OHV in my 98 XLT 4x4 5-speed yet to see how serious the damage is... but am pondering an engine swap if it is going to cost me over $300 to fix what I've got. Anyone done this (know of someone who has pulled it off)? I'd REALLY like to swap a EcoBoost 4 into it, but...

I have a broken down 1998 4x4 XLT w/ 4.0 OHV & 5 Speed... I didn't pay a lot for it- so I have a little budget left over for upgrades. I'd like to put a set of 17" Mustang rims on it (with taller tires of course). My search hasn't revealed whether you guys have done this- so I'm asking... ANY...

Can anyone tell me what the differences are in the PRE-95 cat back systems versus our 95-01 systems? I have a 98 Explorer (recently acquired) that could use some exhaust replaced (worst is from the converter back). I found a 93-94 system for sale that fits my current budget a lot better than the...
