    Jeep Coils

    b2 starting

    Will this work?

    when glueing panels together make sure there is plenty of overlap and get rid of all the rust or you will do it over again soon( ask me how i know). also make sure the surface is free of paint dirt grime etc. or it wont stick. its not the ideal method but it works.

    Newer explorer info please?

    the 4.6 is noticably more powerful in my opinion. both the 4.6 and 4.o are very reliable. things to look for on 4.0: during test drive get under a load at 2500 rpm approx. and listen for timing chain noise sounds like lifter noise. 4.6: check for engine miss. on either check for leaking pinion...

    why dosent anyone want to talk about explorer trans. issues. this worries me.....

    all A4LDs are not equal some improvements were made EX. some came with thrust bearings instead of washers in a few areas. also some have misaligned parts. quality control was not what it should have been. If rebuilt by someone who was a tranny specialist at a ford dealer during the late eighties...

    Oil Cooler line leak?

    If understand correctly it is leaking down the hose off what i think is a crimp fitting on the hose. how badly does it leak? is it affecting your coolant level?
