So, my bro-in-law and I just went half n half on a 1997 Explorer sport. Went to look at it yesterday, 4.0 OHC from a Mustang (turns over, no fuel pressure), auto trans, 4.10 gears and a Control-Trac T case, hasn't been run in 5 years, $300 and just have to tow it home..
He wants the motor and I get the rest, mostly I was wanting the rear axle and the overhead console for my 04 Ranger.
But the Control-trac setup has me interested, I really can't find out much about it from google except it's not AWD but an automatic 4WD system (AUTO, 4 high & 4 low).
So if anyone is familiar with this setup, How well does it work? Is it a stand alone system I can adapt to my 04 Ranger without too much re-wiring? And can I safely flat tow it home, abt 35 miles without removing the drive shafts?
Thanks for any info!
Oh yea, and what's with that single leaf spring... looks like it might make the start of a good home brew lift.
