    swaping to a 4.0 SOHC engine from the ohc engine ?'s

    If I find a relatively cheap rebuilt to drop in my '01 Ranger, I'll sell you my 4.0L SOHC with any harnesses/PCM that I do not need for the swap. The main reason I'm going to do the V8 is I need the low end torque for pulling a 15' livestock trailer and I have always loved the purr(GROWL) of the...

    2001 Ranger 4X4 Off-Road

    This past Friday we were out drift bustin' and doing a little off-roading and the X-Sport decided to take a sh*t on me. I shelled out the front diffy and ended up getting pulled out DOWN a hill. So I decided that I would look for a new ride before I really messed up the front end and more and...

    questions about 95+ front diffy...

    I just sent off my email to Tim tonight... and if all goes well and we get a great enough following, we may actually get what we have been creming over for the past 5 years. Finally our outcry for off-road justice has been heard!!! Everyone, get them emails sent because if it makes it to the...

    '95 Explorer Sport w/ solid axle up front

    I have a '95 sport that I am in the process of transforming into "The Ultimate Off-Road Warrior" and I am debating upon purchasing a '90-'94 sport with the TTB and converting it to a solid axle. I have adequate funding for the project and I want to go all out. NOTE... I am NOT building a tow...

    1998 2wd lift options

    The same thing I am going to do when my drivetrain warranty expires... Weld in a solid front axle and swap out the rear-end with some 3/4 ton axles chopped from an '84 F-250. I will do this and I WILL have pictures in about 6 mos.

    95-96 4auto to 4hi conversion???

    Mike, I talked to one of the prototyping-engineers for the E-II project (supposedly Ford thought it would be cool to continue the Explorer's name badge with it's 4 door SUV replacement, the Escape) and he explained to me the varying voltages and such. He said my best bet was to scrap the idea...

    95-96 4auto to 4hi conversion???

    Yes Mike, as a matter of fact, I did bomb my GEM when I dropped in the '99 ranger t-case. Another thing I forgot to mention is that the t-case out of a ranger has a different clutch/band system in it. On the 95-96 explorers, it uses varying amounts of juice to control traction percentages. You...

    95-96 4auto to 4hi conversion???

    Hey Mike, one thing that i am having the darnest time figuring out is the implication of two on/off/on toggles instead of using one and connecting the clutch coil assembly to the center terminal and the 12VDC to one outside terminal and the brown wire, I do believe it was numbericaly assigned...

    95-96 4auto to 4hi conversion???

    Re: More findings... So did it work because if it didn't i'm doin' the dirty-harry and try to bolt on a ranger t-case. I have a buddy who has a '99 ranger that got shmucked by a semi...I can literally lift the box off the frame rails with one hand. The rails are about 14"-15" apart from each...

    "Don't clean the thottle body"??

    The reason motorcraft doesn't want you to clean the TB is because the throttle position sensor can disengage and send erranious reading to the ECM and this will cause sluggish response, unpredictable shifts for people with automatics, and can also mess with the MAF readings sent to the ECM. I...
