Does anybody know if I can change out the pinion bearings without having to remove the whole 3rd member and just remove the pinion retainer? I have a sound coming from the 3rd member that sounds like the pinion bearings are rolling around in there. Kinda like the metal scratchy noise of...

I wanted to remove the waterpump from the 5.0L engine (its out of the explorer) so I started removing the bolts and stud bolts. Anyway, one of the stud bolts snapped just inside of the waterpump hole. Not a problem (just yet), continued removing the remaining bolts and stud bolts and removed...

OK, first of all a little history, - Optima red top about 3 yrs old, Alternator - as long as I owned it from 2002. - Driving to work one day, volt gauge started flucuating from mid to low. - Put a volt meter across the battery terminals when it showed low, results showed (9V-10.5V) -...

OK guys, a few of you helped me with my SAS setup and because of you guys, everything went pretty smooth with the swap. Thanks! Now it's time to continue on with this "Island Explorer" project and get a engine and tranny upgrade. Here's what I am looking at so far: '96-'00 Explorer Donor...

Here, I'll supply the forum with pictures and videos of offroading in Hawaii since some may not have the chance to do some Island Wheeling. I'll start off with some pics of my last run with some other island wheeler clubs such as oahujeepers.com and 4x4boyz.com... This is Peacock Flats on...

I tried looking online and on here for a confirmation on re-setting my front end gears if I change my diff carrier. Senerio: Front end locker (detroit elec-crap) went out. Talked to Eaton and said nothing I can do since I'm passed my 1 year warranty. Decided on going the cheap route for...

Engine hasn't crapped out on me yet (has about 148K miles on it now) but I figured I'd start planning my next move before it does. Just wondering what you guys think about the OHV 4.0L? Should I keep it (rebuilt or crate engine) or go for the 5.0L 302 V8? I've been thinking of staying with...

Are there any differences between the Sports rear axle and the Explorer Rear axle? I don't own a sport or know of anyone who does, but I would guess no difference at all. A fellow wheeler (J**p) has access to a Sport (yr unkown) rear axle and wanted to know if its the EXACT 8.8 axle as under...

Now that I got my SAS finished I am looking around and researching to do a transmission upgrade or swap out before my stock one kicks the bucket on me. So far I learned that a 700r4 from a 2.8L GM V6 is a nice swap out to replace the 91-94 A4LD trans. However, there are many types of...

Well I am finally done with the suspension mods and have taken it out on the trails to test out the flex. Here's some pics to get started: Group shot of the gang Some flexing out on the trails... ...and some flexing with the forklift...

Hello everyone, my wife has been having problems with her monitor for a couple of weeks and we're both stuck at trying to fix the problem. Hoping you guys can lend some help here!!! Well first off, she has a Sony Vaio Laptop (model VGN-FJ270). What happened was she was prompted to update...

My explorer sways from side-to-side when I'm rounding a bend on the freeway (or at high speeds) and hit some type of dip or bump in the road. It sorta feels like someone is shaking the Explorer in a side-to-side motion. It gets pretty scary at times and scarier the faster I go and the bigger...

Not sure where this goes but it deals with my SAS... Anybody know where I can get a few brake parts for the Ford 9 Inch (drum)? I'm looking for: 1) Parking brake lever 2) Parking brake link and 3) Anchor Pin plate I had intentions of replacing all the parts and therefore only...

Having a difficult time trying to understand their installation directions!! Anyone know how to install it?

Been searching around for a while and wanted to know if what I gathered is true: Front Axle: D35 A-frame, NOT TTB's Rear Axle: 7.5 with 2.8/3.0 L engine 8.8 with 4.0 L engine Is this correct?

Hey guys, the passenger side drop bracket for the TTB on the superlift had completely cracked off on one side (can be easily seen from the passenger tire) and now the other part where it mounts to the engine mount is starting to show cracks too. Soon it'll completely break off and I'm not...

I want to order a custom drag link for my SAS and would like some of your measurements please. Also noting the amount of height you ended up with after doing your SAS. Thanks!

Anybody have any links (or anything else) that'll explain/show a step by step process on rebuilding a dana 44? Including where and how to put in seals, bearings, etc...

DO you guys think it'll be possible to take the full width 9" with new gears and lockers out wheeling to test it out witht ehstock D35 TTB still in the front? Would that be ok to drive on-road?

Starting full width D44 SAS...FINALLY!!! (Update) Like the title says..I feel that I am ready to begin my SAS and have compiled a shopping list. I'm wanting some opinions/thoughts/ideas about the list before I continue on. Also note anything I may have left out. Your help is appreciated...

what do you guys prefer: Yukon gears or Precision Gears? Any differences/opinions between the two? Yukon will get me $50 cheaper then Precisions...anybody know why???

A friend of mine was trying to replace the spark plug and wires on his 2000 4.0 V6 when he forgot to write down the number sequence on the ignition coil. Now he doesn't know what spark plug goes to what position on the coil. Can anybody help? :confused:

I am thinking about going with the Wristed Axle Housing (WAH) setup. But since I have to cut the axle for the installation should I keep it full width or should I shorten them to an EB width? I know that it basically comes down to personal preference but I was wondering if others did this or...

I am trying to figure out how to remove the carrier and gears out from the differential. I am planning on selling the gears if someone could use them so i don't want to bang them up much. Does anybody know how this can be done? Thanks

Anybody know if the 77 bronco had a high or low pinion diff? coils or leafs?
