I think that is what it is doing, b/c the hubs are full of grease. Is it hard to clean them, do I have to use anything special to clean them (cleaners or tools). Are there any posts on here to say how to do it or have pics? -Cody

So does that mean that I need to just clean the hubs out or tear them down completly and clean out the insides and everything?

well, I was talking about the inside of the removeable hub that slides on to the lugs.

OK, I have a simple question for you guys. On the auto hubs are the grooved sections inside the hubs suposed to spin, or are they suposed to stay solid with the rest of the hub? The groved parts are spinning freely inside the hubs. And if they shouldn't be moving can I weld them solid untill I...

I know I've been trying to get my buddy to take the pics, but he's slacking off. I think we're gonna take the pics this afternoon (8th) before I go out for my birthday. I've got the hood siting in my garage waiting to have pics taken. Anyways, I've been wanting to get a set of manual hubs...

Ok, heres what happened. As you can guess it was doing something that you would need 4x4 to help you out. I was out playing in some mub holes and I was gonna climb a muddy slope, put it in 4 wheel drive and drove up to the hill, started to climb and all it did was spin the rear tires. So when I...

Cool man, thanks. Get some before and after pics and post them if ya can. -Cody

A lift on a '94 4door Exp. I was reading and alot of people were saying that if you only needed a little bit of lift to clear some taller tires. The said to use some F-150 factory coil spacers in the front and some shackels in the rear. I'll find the thread and link it. -Cody

Ok, I just had the simple question of what does it consist of(parts)? I saw a pic on another thread but didn't know where what went. What year f-150's do the parts come off of, and what Explorer years does this "F-150 Spacer Lift" work on? And lastly how hard is it to do? -Cody

Ok guys(unless theres a easier way), I'm gonna be replaceing my radius arm bushings on Monday and I was told the easiest way was to grind off the rivits that hold the braket to the frame that the radius arms go into. Any ways I'm trying to find out the size of the hole so I can get the...

Yep, I tell you what, its the same thing that's happing to my X. I just order a set for mine from NAPA.

You rolled it?!?! How bad did ya hurt it? If I do go I plan on adding a little bit of a lift and some better/bigger tires. I want a 2-4 inch lift and like a set of 31's. -Cody

I did have a question for ya about the trails down there. If I took my stock '94 4x4 how many problems would I have going through the trails? How hard are the trails to ride in a SUV or small 4x4 pick-up (like a '80's Nissan P/U)? But if we decide to go then I'll hit you up with a time&date, so...

I'm planing on going one weekend but not this one, my X isn't back yeat. I just had to have a tranny put in it. Me and some freinds are wanting to go down there sometime in Nov and take dirt bikes, four-wheelers, trucks, and my X down there for a whole weekend. I'm not sure when but we want to...

Well when I put the filter in after that the only time it would move was when I had added fluid, but not after it sat for a little while. I did notice something though, the old filter had a round pickup, and the new one was rectangler. I just figured that it was a new style filter and it might...

Just changed the filter, and fluid like three days ago.

I've pulled it down throught every foward gear and I get no movement in any of them. The only time it gives me anything (besides reverse) is if its rolling and I pull it all the way down into 1st on the shifter and then all it does is kinda sound like a binding/dragging/tugging in the tranny...

ok, heres the problem. My truck has been not wanting to go foward when I put it in gear. It will back up just fine, hot or cold it backs up with out a problem. But like I said it won't do anything in drive. The other night it went in to drive but I had to let it roll down a hill, put it in gear...

Well, I looked at the switch and it wasn't the problem. I got to looking and on the drivers side with the EGR those 2 little hoses that come off the header and go to te EGR. Well when I looked they were both so old they had cracked and brittle. Replacled them and now its running alright. The...

Yeah, I kinda thought that it might be that switch too. I know that its in that area. Before I got my X it had hit what I think was a guardrail, and I think that may have messed up that switch. I'm gonna try and take my X by my brothers shop and see if they can pull the codes for me. And...

Ok this is what my X has been doing. First off, my X seems like it has a miss, it comes and goes. Well yesterday I was messing with it and it started to miss a little, but everytime it did miss I heard a little click coming from the passenger side floor. And the other the day the CEL came on...

No it didnt fall off of it, when I took the tires off they came right off with the rims. On a side note, after I took the black peice off its been driving alot better. Drove it 150 miles today, besides the miss, no problems. -Cody

The black part that has 4X4 wrote on it is what came off. Only one came off before but this time they both fell off. And as far as I know its the factory tranny. -Cody

Well I have better news, if you can call it that. I was talking to some guys at the shop and we got to looking and my auto hubs are shot. Turns out they were locking and unlocking as I was driving :confused: . Any way my brother and some of the guys toldme to just pull the outside part of the...

will it cause binding, or dragging? It kinda seems like the brakes are making it pull but I've looked at them, and they're fine. I think the hubs might be locking and unlocking as I drive. Has this happened to anybody? I'm thinking of converting them over to manual locking hubs, but that will be...
