explorer

I have have some parts left from a 1994 limited explorer that was a donor for my 89 B2 4.0 swap. Leather front and rear seats as well as the front console, front seats are power, overall condition is 8.5 out of 10 maybe a little better, I have the complete dash for sale as well and it's mint...

Hey good afternoon, brand new here. Been looking around and reading quite a bit trying to gain as much information as I can. Turning to the experts for help now. Question at the bottom, quick story and reasoning first. I will give as much information as I can. I am a novice to this work so...

Just wanted to share my experience getting this motor and trans in. A lot of the info I found on the internet doesn’t align with my experience here so thought id share and save someone money. my steel explorer 5.0 oil pan cleared the crossmember. Using ricksrangerz motor plates and stock 2.9...

Looking to build a hoonitruck inspired drift truck from my ranger. Want to buy a 5.0 explorer so I can swap parts, rear end, engine and trans etc , wondering what year would be best to go with and what parts can I get from the donor truck . Plan is to lower it and do custom wide body kit with...

Hi all, Been having this issue for a few months now and I feel its getting worse and its annoying as well. I have a 2002 ford explorer sport trac with the 4.0 with 187000 miles. The issue I'm having is that after I drive my truck even for short periods at a time, park it, shut it off and go do...

they both have electric shift ,power accessories and whatnot, but the 93 has the 4 wheel abs and the larger power distribution box with the relays inside. i’m assuming they’re the same? same dash and all that.

Timeline of what happened: - Bought 1991 Ford Explorer 4.0 ohv / 5spd in January 2021 in good condition. - Starter gives out a couple months later, seemingly just due to age. Replaced it with a napa reman. All is fine for a few months. - Engine starts having a pinging issue under load...

Here’s the engine and trans along with everything else that came with. I’m looking into a wiring harness but I’m having issues finding one, if anyone has access to one please let me know. Also dash and gauge cluster any recommendations on where I can get those?

Been reading on how to do this swap on my Ranger and I think understand everything I need to do, but have one question before I buy donor axle from a junk yard. If I am planning on installing a locker, should I be looking for an open differential, LSD, or does it matter? Im thinking I want to...

Hey everyone, I finally got around to putting my 1999 leather heated explorer seats and full center console into my 2002 extended cab Ford Ranger with a manual. If anyone is looking to do it, I made a video series on youtube to help others out.

I was looking for a Sport Trac cluster in a parts yard and while I didn't find one in a Trac, I found a 2001 Explorer (even had a 5 speed, nice!) with the same white face gauges so I picked it up. I was just wondering if this would be plug and play into a 2000 Ford Ranger 2.5L. I've searched...

So I have done: power leather seats (not wired in YET)(no heat)(grey to match stock interior) Center console. I plan on doing soon: Over Head Console (OHC) Auto dimming rear view mirror And lighted visors. I was wondering what other explorer components fit/work on rangers. I have a 1999 XLT...

Can anyone direct me to a good guide on how to remove the full center console from a 1995-2001 explorer? I found one on an explorer forum but it was incredibly vague. Didn't have much other luck. Looking to put the console and seats in my ranger and want to know how to remove them before I spend...

Alright here we go... My original plan was to buy a 91-94 explorer 4x4 to build into a mild wheeler and "pre runner". The plan will include f-150/Bronco Dana 44 TTB front and full width 8.8 from an f-150. I know the frame is wider and will need to lengthen the TTB 1" per beam in order to retain...

I have a 98 Ranger that had the 3.0 auto, my project is swapping a 5.0 v8 from the 97 explorer. I know that there is a lot of gray area between 97-98 because of the ECM and wiring. I want to know if anyone knows, is that swap possible? Or should I just find a 98-02 explorer to make my life easier?

I put a good 5r55e transmission from a 97 explorer 4.0 4x2 into my 97 ranger 4.0 4x2. It won't shift.Only has 1st and reverse. Seems like it must be something electronic because it worked fine in the explorer. Anyone know if the electronics are different and can anything be done about it?

Ive got an 03 ranger single cab that came with a 3.0 stick shift. I'm using an early 97 explorer pcm so I went to the junkyard and cut the 42 pin connector off of the body side of a 5.0 explorer and I cut the 42 pin engine harness side of the ranger. I want to make a jumper harness between the 2...

My 03 5.0 ranger is running using an early 97 Mercury mountaineer computer. Pretty much the same as the early 97 explorer computer. I would post somewhere else if I knew where to go but my questions are: 1. Which SCT tuner should a buy to use on this setup 2. If I buy a used one that's unmarried...

I have a well maintained 97 ranger with 104,xxx miles with the 4.0 ohv, 5r55e, 4x4, 3.73 axle and the manual says it's rated for 5600lbs with a maximum of 50sq ft of frontal area. It has the tranny cooler in the radiator and a hitch, did this era actually have an official towing package? I am...
