What factory wheels are there with the least offset to work on the 95-01 Explorers? I've got a 99 work truck that I need to hunt new snow tires for. The 16" size I've been using is 245/70/16, but the new tires I'd like only come in a 245/65/17 tire. That's the closest size usable, and the OEM...

Hi, quick offer to buy a good stock 4WD truck cheap. I have so rarely driven it as a backup vehicle that the trans started leaking from the front seal about ten years ago. I had to stop driving it in 2006 because the leak was taking a quart every 15 minutes or so when hot. I've only started...

Hi, I'm looking for a replacement for my 98 Mountaineer, with no rust or corrosion. I need a high option 302/AWD truck with the medium gray interior, 98-01. What should the real cost be for those trucks, given a typical 100k miles, or 200k miles? That's my main question, as I have seen quite...

I'm going to finally start on my project for fitting a KB 2200 blower to the V8 of my Mountaineer. I've revised details in my head about many things, but it's time to put some in print. I made this below while thinking of others' 302 based Explorers here. Everyone will do things a little...

Check out this you tube video of a dyno session from yesterday. This is Jay Allen's 347 engine that he built to showcase what can be done with typically available parts, aside from a super nice intake he has had. He used a lot of parts he had on hand, plus stuff he commonly sells, the new TFS...

Hello, has anyone ever taken apart a power seat track? I need to swap motors between two seat tracks. I have several stock power seat tracks from 95-01's, and I want to build a pair of memory seat tracks. The memory seats have a few unique parts, one of them being the three motor set in the...

There is an auction I ran across hunting for 4R70W parts. This is not my auction, I know nothing about the seller. This would be only useful for a rather strong Explorer V8 or Mustang, AODE or 4R70W. This is the description pasted below, and link to it. The initial $200 first bid wouldn't be too...

Do we have many paint experts here to ask about a custom paint color? I'm trying to tweak the factory red to improve it slightly. Below are the two colors I'm working with, and a post I made on a custom painting site. Thanks for help or ideas. The candy test part shows a moderate amount of...

Hello, has anyone done any research into the electronic control of the 98-01 Expedition/Navigator 4WD system? I have so far learned that those trucks had four position switches, 2WD, A4WD, 4WD High, and 4WD Low. I need to find a compatible BW4406 transfer case for those trucks, to use in my...

For a new fan idea, I have finally got my Volvo fan installed. It was thin enough to go in by itself, but I discovered that it was located almost where the stock fan was. I decided to make the install better by using the stock shroud, epoxying the electric fan to the stock shroud. I mocked...

Hello, here is my mail vehicle upgrade project. I have a 93 Limited 4x4 which was going to start costing a bunch of money to rebuild the chassis, to last another 5-10 years. The engine and trans have tough miles on them, the brakes are trouble now to service every year from mail delivery. It's a...

Hello, I swapped my 91 fan clutch for my 93 fan clutch. Does anyone know what difference there is between a new fan clutch, and a good used one? My 91 has set for about three years, and the transmission front seal leaks when very hot. My temperature gauge doesn't work properly, so actual...

Hello, does anyone know of a different fog light that I can easily replace my stock fog lights with, in a 93 Limited? The originals are shot, and I have a 99 wiring harness, so I figure I'll end up changing the connectors. Will later stock rectangular Explorer lights bolt on? Thanks for any...

Hello, does anyone out there know a great deal about the newer model of the five speed 5R55E, as well as the older original version? I need to find out what actual differences there are between the internals. Specifically, I want to use the later 5R55E housing, with the earlier 5R55E...

Hello, I have a 93 Limited body, which is about to be set down onto a 99 Limited chassis. Has anyone ever fitted the later 95+ tail lights onto the 1st generation Explorers? I have already discovered that there are three bulbs in the later lights, and the 1st gen body lights have straight...

Hell, has anyone removed the Control Trac system, and eliminated any errors that would be generated? I have a 99 Explorer with the BW 4405 transfer case(Control Trac). I want to remove it, and change to an AWD transfer case, the BW4410(2002+ Explorers). I need to know how to completely...

Hello, has anyone fixed a leaking 1st gen. sunroof? My 93 Limited has developed a larger leak in the last year or two. The seal around the edge of the sunroof lets too much water pass into the drain channel. The larger amount of water can run over the inner seal when braking hard, or hitting...
