Last time I had an issue like this, all I did was get a drift and a BFH. Hit the spider pin with all you got and it will break the bolt. then you can remove the spider pin, axles... and then the carrier to gain access to the bolt.

Patience grasshopper. Perfection takes time... and a few wobblies! :icon_twisted:

100kph (62mph) on my GPS both times with the cruise set as much as possible. RPM was 2250 +-. Is that good?

Good timing on this post... just did a mileage reading on mine after my gear swap. Test 1: with 35's, A4LD and 3.73 gears best possible on a long hiway run was 13.9mpg Test 2: same setup except with 4.88 gears.. best possible was 17.4 on a long hiway run. Sure wish I get by the 20mpg wall.

Call the product support line for the Aussie locker. I'm sure they will be able to help you. http://www.aussielocker.com/index.php/contacts/

And that reason alone is what's keeping me from doing a locker in the front of my explorer. I have one in the rear... but not in the front. Nobody.... and I mean NOBODY up here likes to run lockers. Kinda leaves me out in the swamp without a set of pontoons! :icon_twisted:

Yanno, I would like to say that it will buff out... but I believe we're beyond a power buffer here. Nice to see everyone is still alive and well though.

Thanks Bud. I do enjoy it... and the "other half" doesn't feel like a soccer mom in it either. :icon_thumby:

Here's another red Explorer. before: Stock with 31's after: 6" lift lift 33's

Gee... and here I thought it would just be easier to completely remove the roof. No roof, no leaks! :D

Yeah... and you have polar bears as pets... and penguins do your bidding! :icon_rofl: I'm wondering... just where was your igloo in that picture. I see the garage. :dunno: Seeing as we're on tis topic, I'm all out of seal blubber... got some you can spare?? :icon_rofl:

Letting the engine soak in solvents (of some form) will most likely break down MOST of the sludge. Like I said, MOST. As was said in an earlier reply, do not... DO NOT run the engine with the solvent in the pan. The solvent will only dissolve sludge in areas where it can flow... so anything past...

LMAO!!! Kinda like military intelligence. The two words just shouldn't be allowed to co-exist. :icon_rofl: Honestly though, if you want any performance from an Explorer... an engine swap is the only way. If you put a stroked 302... or even better a stroked 351, THEn you're talking performance...

Give it some time. The springs will settle in a take a "set" a little lower than they are rite now. I would say about a month... depending on how hard and where you drive.

Tire/wheel selection will have an effect on the alignment of your truck. I'll explain... If you have your truck set up (aligned) with "stock" tires and wheels then change over to a wheel with a different offset, it will adversely effect the final settings. An aftermarket wheel with an offset...

On a different idea here, maybe you have a broken motor mount and the cooling fan is rubbing on the shroud.

As tight as it may seem, there's lots of room under the hood of an RBV with a 302 (when done properly). Your only limit will be your imagination.

One other area that's going to be a problem will be the head bolts... or the LACK of. The 2.6, 2.8, 2.9 and 4.0 all have just enough head bolts to seal things in "factory" trim. If you start pushing any more than 4 to 5 psi, your gonna... and I mean GONNA have head sealing issues. Head studs...

That's why I asked. :D

What's the oiling problem? No oil to the rocker shafts?
