    Auto hub on manual hub hardware?

    pretty sure there are 2 snap rings on the auto hubs, one on the outside housing holding all the guts in and one in the center splined portion, but I could be wrong (it's been 5+ years since I've been inside an auto hub). Usually pulling the snap rings and smacking the hub open side down on a...

    One last component for my 4.0L Swap

    try a front shaft from an 86 with an auto trans, not sure on the length but I know they're closer to the M5OD in length than the FM145 you probably took out

    Got It Running - Sort of

    I just left mine unhooked, it didn't do anything driveability wise, it just throws a code for CPP switch fault

    Got It Running - Sort of

    The grey/red wire is a signal return wire, It serves the same function as the black/white wire on your 86. You could not use the CPP switch and all you would get is a code for it. On an 86 the CPP switch is a separate switch than the clutch interlock switch. Even though the later triple...

    Got It Running - Sort of

    How are you wiring it? When I wired my ranger for the 4.0 I made the explorer EEC/engine harness work with the 86 dash wiring. I ask because i did the same swap (year wise) and I didn't have to mess with the o2 sensor wiring, or the TPS wiring. What is the wire color(s) that you are having...

    88 BII keeps giving 77 code

    I had the same problem with my innova scanner, It tells you to perform the "goose" test at the wrong time. I kept getting the same code you did, and pulled my hair out trying to figure it out. I used the Snap On MODIS at work, it told me top perform the "goose" test at the right time and I had...

    92/93 Ex engine harness differences

    Are there any differences in the engine harnesses from 92 and 93 explorers? By engine harness I mean the harness that goes to all of the sensors, injectors, etc that plugs into the engine bay harness that goes to the eec.

    44-05 to 1354E swap

    Have a 1997 Ex with the auto 4x4 and the Transfer case is howling, it gets stuck in 4 wheel drive 4x4 and 4lo lights flash in unison, randomly while going down the road (shift motor is new and works fine) etc... Plus the whole electric clutch driving the front axle thing bothers me (this thing...

    Instrument Voltage Regulator

    Disconnecting from the bottom is the easiest way I've done it, feel for the tab on the plastic collar all the way up behind the cluster, push it towards the cable. I had my IVR go bad on me at one point, my gas gauge (only factory gauge I use) pegged right out, went right off the full side of...

    BII engine oil cooler

    even though the cooling system is around 195-200 degrees when fully warmed, the oiling system can get 100+ degrees hotter than that. A small oil cooler may raise engine coolant temp by 1 or 2 degrees it may drop the oil temp by 30-40 degrees They do help, In low speed and mid to high RPM...
