Been looking but cant find the answer. Does anyone know what is the most teeth that are available on a speedometer gear? My 5.0 swapped AOD trans has a 23 tooth gear and my speedometer is still not right. has 4.10 rear gear. Its off by about 6 MPH. 23 seems to be the most teeth I can find. I was...

Thank You !

Has anyone used these headers? Pros, cons thoughts on them. How did they fit? Thanks.

thanks!

Thank you. that helps a lot. my truck currently has Advance adapters from previous owner and several tubes are cracked at the welds and I dont like how they fit and how they "clamp on" in the rear. I thought about a set and weld V bands on them but they still have fitment issues around the...

Thanks. DO you have any specifics? What trans? Were there any fitment issues? What motor mounts? How are they underneath? Thanks again.

Yea I know. Door tag of donor car is 1992 and I inadvertently assumed it was a 1992 model car. I am no fox body expert. Thanks.

I thought I would share my progress on my 1990. I bought this as a swapped 5.0 out of a 1992 Cobra Mustang. The previous owner had done a nice job but just really didn't finish it off the way I would. It already had an 8.8 Explorer rear in it under the springs in the first photos along with...

Yea Im not impressed with them either. I am just getting to looking at replacing them (I didnt build the truck) as I have been tidying up things on it. im just now to the exhaust. Are you talking stock original manifolds or like the try Y header type?

Has anyone modified/made a new steering shaft for header clearance? My 90 5.0 swapped Ranger has Advance Adapter headers on it and one is cracked. I would like to replace with new but as you can see in the photo it has been "clearanced" for the steering and I dont want to do that if I buy new...

Looking for recommendations from people who have done this and know what shock (length etc) works on the rear. Also what most seem to have the best luck with on lowering the front. Jegs doesnt list shocks for a ranger that has a flipped rear out of a explorer that I can find. But thanks!

I am currently knee deep in a project I've been wanting to do for a while which is narrowing the rear and lowering the truck. Photos are before I started on it. I am almost finished with the rear. I shortened the Explorer 8.8 three inches to tuck the wheels in some and flipped the axle to the...

thanks! that’s about what i thought it would work out to be. in your opinion is that a reasonable amount for a truck that will see mostly cruising around ? also any opinions on what to use on the front? springs? beams? etc this is my truck. thanks again

Hi All. Can anyone tell me how much drop one would get if they installed the Explorer rear in a ranger and mounted it on the top of the springs? I'm afraid it will be more than I want and thought I would ask here. Thanks in advance.
