98 Explorer

[chilsam]

Just bought a 98 Explorer 5.0 n VERY HAPPY but when it warms up from driving it kinna shudders in turns when taking off from a dead stop not when cold or when going straight even hotI'm THINKN AWD transfer case issue????? THANX!

Yup. Viscous coupling in the t-case is locking up. Mine does it too, as do almost all of them.

My fix... Run without the front shaft, reinstall it if you know you'll need 4wd, like if there is snow coming, or a field party that night.

I gained 4 mpg, and it drives and tows better 2wd.

Only 1 issue, the creep. It will creep forward an inch or two after you put it in park. Also sometimes there will be a jerk when stopping or taking off. Both due to the front output of the t-case loading and unloading, no big deal really.

....Then to fix it right there is the manual shift part-time t-case swap, it uses the Borg Warner 4406 from an F150, and Expedition driveshafts.

...btw good luck finding a good Awd case, or the coupling. The couplings can be bought, but are $600+, + the seals and rebuild.

$$$

600.00 I only paid $1300.00 for the whole truck WITH a rebuilt motor it,I LUV this truck! What all should I grab to do the 4406 swap from the donor truck n what yr 150 ? Would any of the older transfer cases work like from a 91 auto tranny manual TC Bronco?...THANX!
