So here is what I have: 1997 Ford Explorer V8 -I am pretty sure the tranny is slipping. 1998 Ford Ranger -Everything is pretty good on it The plan is to make the two vehicles become one hopefully over the summer, but we will see when I find this valuable time. I am having issues determining...

So I have 1997 Explorer AWD V8 and a 1998 Ranger, soon to be one. I am getting everything ready over the winter then I will do the complete swap next summer. I was wondering about the fueling issues. I know the 97 ex has a return line, so what is the easiest solution? Does the ex tank fit in...

What I have: 1998 Ford Ranger 3.0L Manual 4x4 Donor I am looking at: 1997 Explorer V8 4x4 I have a few questions. 1) Can I go from a manual in my truck to using the auto from the explorer? I would prefer a manual, but I thinking about putting the auto in until I get some more time and money...

So a few of my friends and I decided to go wheelin' on the snowmobile trails last night. It was rough going through some of the snow. And eventually I got buried. Well to make a long story short here are a few pictures. Be sure to look at the last one closely. It sheered the Cross...

Is it possible to adjust the front brakes, (1998 Ranger 4x4). Lately when I stop the rear brakes grab and lock up and I just slide to a stop. Even if I am really light on the peddle. It is almost like the front brakes don't do anything.

Can we take bets on what blows first?

I have seen the truck It looks special none the less. Why would you want 44's anyways? Put something smaller on so you can actually use the truck.

I just swapped in a new LS carrier in my truck and it doesn't have the teeth like my old carrier did. The teeth mean it is ABS correct? Now I only have rear brakes and they are locking up all the time. Is there an easy fix or do I have to put an ABS carrier back in. Is pulling the relay...

So this is kinda random but I am having a few issues. We swapped an escort 2.0L into our hybrid car and some people neglected to grab all the evap system. Do you guys know the best way to find all the parts we are missing. We have the haynes manual but it is worthless for this stuff. Any...

I just put a limited slip in and have be driving for a few days. About 100 yards ago a squeel started from the rear. I am thinking maybe I need more diff fluid or to grease the axle bearings. Any ideas. I am taking a look tonight.

So I got a limited slip yesterday and I put it in last night. I still need to adds some friction modifier but other then that I am good. I was a little worried I might screw something up since I have never done a rear diff before. I have put maybe 20 miles on and have had no issues. It seems...

So I am trying to take the cross pin out and it wont come out due to it hitting the ring gear. I can slide it down half way and am trying to take the top gear in the carrier out but it wont come out either. Do I just have to pull harder or I am I missing something?

So I just bought a "locker" from a guy on the site. This is what he said he had "I have a locker for a 7.5. but it is for a 87 year. i paid 150 for it. That is what i would want for it? it is like brand new i never used it. i am now swaping to an 8.8 in my truck so i dont need it. i allso have...

So the brakes in my back are being weird. I just put all new shoes and springs on the rear drums, but the still feel like they are not kicking it. I know you have to back up to adjust them , but after like a week the seem to loosen up again. Do I just have to adjust them every week? Not like...

Anyone else get a recall for their truck within the last week. Something about the wiring harness starting a fire in the engine bay.

Those of you out there with a locker in your 7.5, are you having any issues? I want a locker and am deciding whether I want an 8.8 too. I do not do anything Hardcore, but I am off road a lot and the open diff is a pain. I have a 98 Regular Cab with a 3.0 and 3.73 gears with 31 BFGs for shoes...

I have been on the forum for a while now, but I just got around to the introduction. I just got into wheelin' my truck since I finally have a 4x4 now and some awesome trails where I go to school. I spend most of my free time working on a hybrid car for Michigan Tech...

OK so here is the deal. When I turn the knob to 4x4 high at any speed there is a grinding gear noise then a clunk after I slow down to about 1mph. So I know the transfer case is actually engaging, and my hubs are permanently locked. But I know that my 4x4 is not engaging ( I backed my truck...

Is it possible to make my headlights come on when the truck turns on? Is does not sound like it is that difficult. Just wondering if anyone has done it.
