The tool to put a stretch to fit accessory drive belt on a Ford Fiesta.

Somehow I ordered the wrong flywheel from Amazon---one digit difference from the correct one. It was sooooo close to being right. Same diameter as needed, and it took me a while to figure out that I wasn't crazy. LFW 137 vs LFW 138 (the correct one)

I'm swapping a M5ODR1 for the 4r44E in my Ranger. The flex plate bolts for the automatic are 23mm long. The flywheel bolts from suppliers all use that same length but they only extend 1/4" past the flywheel. The crankshaft holes are 24mm deep so there is plenty of room for a longer bolt, but...

I used a Explorer 4.0 from the early years for quite a while but the high temps of central Texas with the A/C running just overwhelmed it, Then I put a 5.0 Explorer radiator in and it solved most of those issues. The big problem is that it hangs below the frame rails and can't be mounted any...

PowerTrain sold me my first rebuilt M5R2 and the tail shaft splines failed on it. They get theirs from Zubrota in MN and the warranty covered the replacement. The replacement is leaking at the rear seal around the tail shaft. That means I have to pull the transfer case and pull the rear housing...

I had one of those and with the price of gas wish I kept it!

I started wiith GT40P heads and the tube exhaust manifolds and eventually put cast manifolds on it. I never could justify the cost of the Torque Monster headers and since it's 4x4 noting else really fits. I had a valve job done on the heads, and later put Alex valve springs on them due to some...

Love those '92s! Welcome.

Welcome to TRS!

On the regular Explorer double core radiator the bottom of the plastic shroud slipped right into the clips on the bottom of the radiator. Since I installed the taller Explorer radiator I haven't put anything there to hold the plastic shroud against the radiator. Your question reminded me I have...
