I did forget to mention that I had planned on upgrading the springs on that explorer motor. Spend, spend, spend, got stimulate the economy, lol.

Done planned on it. Want this thing to run smooth as silk. If I can sell that explorer v8 stuff I acquired, I may buy me a tuner, but it looks like it will be a slow sell, but they are hard to come across.

Mine are 3.73, probably when the funds allow it (and wife) I will do a 4 inch suspension lift and 4.10's. That .68 OD gear in the t-5 really drops the rpm's, which is good for highway. The ranger station does have tech article on the two dana's. Just iffy on fooling with it. But the first thing is t...

I guess it is just my personality of wanting the same width front and back. I do want wider though. What about the dana 28, anybody have any opinion on it?

One day, when I have such a thing as time, I will be swaping my 7.5 for a 8.8. And out side the fact I am bored out of my head here at work, my mind has time to wonder. Here is my quandry, I can get a ranger 8.8 out of a wrecked 96 ranger from my neighbor for free, just got to put my 7.5 on his to r...

Same for me really, except the gone for three months thing. Been mostly working on finishing our basement, aka my section of the house.

It's been too quiet on here, figured I'd post something...

For those of us that have made the investment, it's like giving glasses to a legally blind person. I like it, lol. If I can manage to sell the parts I aquired off those two explorers, I will have enough cash to get one. My other problem is that I am also trying to finish the basement of our house w...

Very much so you are spoiled. Those things ain't cheap either. How about you make the short drive up here with that datalogger for me, the weather has been GREAT here in Tennessee for the past week, you'll enjoy it. I will first fix my melted connector the the O2 sensor :evil: , then will try and se...

Green horn question then...how do you datalog the EEC?

I have two explorer v8 accessory brackets for sale. The one with a tensioner pull is $225 and the one without is $200. I also have two 90 degree intake elbows $50 and one throttle body, $50.

Update:

Yesterday I disconected the battery and IAC for about half an hour. Went back to start, and it tried to idle, and kept adjusting idler screw but kept having loping idle. Could that be from my melted o2 connector? Also think I need to set my idle on the tps?

Its the A9P cpu, everything is like a stock mustang, except the intake now. The throttle body and MAF is stock. Before new intake, at cold it would have a hard time running, after about a minute, it would idle fine. Once it got up to temp, it could idle at 2k once I pushed the clutch in for about 15...

Well, I just got everything hooked back up after putting a explorer intake on, and started it up, and its idling at like 2500 to 3000 (no tach). I have all vacuum sealed up, what could be the problem. Also my drivers side o2 sensor wire was touching the header and melted the connector after about on...

Sorry guys, been away for a bit. Still hadn't made it there yet, its like the Amazon rainy season has moved up here. May try to go there today. So should my focus really be just on getting the brackets and no accessories? From what I have found the balancer and the water pump pulley can still be bou...
