Will this install kit be sufficient for freshening up my diff with my new gears? http://m.autopartswarehouse.com/sku/Ford/Explorer/Motive_Gear/Ring_And_Pinion_Installation_Kit/1994/XLT/6_Cyl_4-dot-0L/M92R35FR.html

So i have an 85 with a 4.0 swapped in it. Long story short I redid all the wiring and put a 94 dash in to minimize the splices. I've been trying to make it run with the 91 harness originally used to do the swap (by the PO) it's been getting harder and harder to start and running worse and worse...

Got this 85 with a 4.0 OHV swapped in and started tearing it apart having to fix the alternator wiring and some other stuff. Well it will run fine for about 10 minutes till it gets warm (I think) then it loads up and chokes itself unless you give it throttle. Now I went to the JY today to look...

I plan on swapping wiring and the dash from a 91 into my 85. My question is do I need to swap the steering column too? Or will the plastic pieces mount to the older column Thanks ahead of time

Bought an 85 that had a 2.9 and someone swapped in a 4.0 they did an extremely terrible job and I've had to chase several things down to get it to run... My question is: if I get a dash and the cab and under hood harness' should I only have to splice the lighting and fuel pump wires? I did a...

So I'm picking up the banner from hahns tomorrow. I'm headed to just outside heppner the last week of the month so I'm trying to see of there is much of an interest in that area to maybe come up and sign it while I'm out that way. I'm not driving so if you can't meet me along the way there isn't...

i did some research and didnt find a whole lot of info. msd makes a direct plug in adapter for the TFI on mustangs... will that plug into my truck? is it worth the extra money to put a multi-spark ignition on my truck? basically i plan on doing a 4.0 or maybe ill plug the 5.0 in there if i feel...

This came out of my 87 2.9L ranger. Long story short the little ground wire fell off the negative battery cable and killed the truck... I thought it was just the fuel pumps not turning on. Traced it to the ECC being the ground off the relay. So I though it was a bad ECC. Pulled it to find it was...

hey guys i was looking at my axle and want to do crossover steering but it looks like the knuckles might have too short of "arms" for the steering mount. can you guys post up pics how you did yours? ideas would be greatly appreciated

any tips or tricks for getting the lower bolt off the manifold flange so I can replace my donut gasket on my 2.9? We had a nice Mac 1/2" impact but the power was lost in the u-joint, soaked in pb blaster, heated with propane torch, pounded on manifold with a hammer and punch... Even tried using...

Not sure if this has been posted but I read about this in peterson's today, SEMA has a group that lobbies to the government to help fight against shutting down trails, making stupid rules to keep trucks/cars off the roads. learn more and join the cause here...

i've done a little research and read the tech article but i can't find if the 2wd extended cab drivelines are the same length as the 4wd ones. i'm tired of my 2 piece eating u joints so as soon as i know this i can continue tracking down a driveline. thanks in advance

hey so i'm doing a D30 swap and i wanna use hiems and build customs arms. with that said i'm ordering them from ruff stuff cuz they sell them in pairs with jam nuts, misalignment spacers and tube adapters. My question is which size do i need. i'm looking at the 3/4 or 7/8"... the 3/4" doesn't...

ok so i did some research and can't seem to find what i'm looking for... so my truck has the two piece rear drive line. the yoke that is right behind the carrier bearing has "stretched". let me explain, i'm getting some vibration and i've replaced that joint twice in the last couple months.. it...

I blew the wheel joint on my d28 last night so I guess the Dana 30 is called to duty!!
