The Ford Taurus SHO 3.4 liter V8 Shares NOTHING with the Jaguar 3.9liter V8 engine used in the last gen Thunderbird & Lincoln LS8 which were pretty much off the shelf Jaguar parts, while the Taurus-SHO V8 was a Cosworth Block and Yamaha heads. And FWIW the LS8 engines are far more common both...

I'm actually on my SECOND 2nd gen 5.0 "Explorer", my current vehicle is 1997 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0/auto/AWD, my previous 5.0 was a 1996 Explorer. On the GT40 HEADS ALL 5.0 Explorers have either the early GT40 or GT40P heads, but starting in mid-1997 Ford switched to the later slightly...

Actually it is a 12-point 6mm and it needs to be a fairly skinny socket, either a 3/8"Drive "Semi-Deep" or if you can find one a 1/4" drive Additionally that bolt is for the cast Iron shield for the front ABS Sensor, I don't recall if the sensor has it's own bolt hole I haven't looked at those...

No the drive shafts will be the wrong lengths. but there is an easy out for you as the M5OD-R1 is the same overall length as the A4LD, get Both drive-shafts out of an automatic truck with the same axle/T-case combo as your truck and the same Cab/Bed configuration. As an additional note. the...

I'm not lifting an engine! I need to lift a CAB, specifically a supercab

Well, it's not like a shipyard overhead traveling beam I only need it to lift beds and the occasional cab and the actual lifting can be done with 2" Ratchet straps. So, according to Audel's formulas Two doubled 2x6" would be adequate and Doubled 2x8" would be overkill

Why would I ever give up on my 1987 Supercab? If the engine fails I have spares, I have a spare FRAME (Yep, I actually have a loose Supercab frame) I need someone who is a better carpenter than I am to help me put up overhead beams in my carport, it is past time to switch to my spare Cab...

When I had a front pinion fail in my rear diff it sounded like someone had left a running turbo-shaft (helicopter engine) in my bed, it "whistles" at a steady cruise.

the 1983-1985 Rangers were sometimes sold with what Ford Refered to as a "Snow Plow Prep" package, which included supplemental air springs(poly air bags in the front coils) and a Dana28 front axle with a limited-slip. These are easily identified by a slightly different axle coding, in addition...

Technically you are supposed to replace the nut, the seal and crush collar (it is behind the front bearing) together But to do that also requires pulling the carrier and ring gear, so you can properly set pinion bearing preload. Do remember that proper diff setup is important because those...

Considering you have a V8 it might be worth considering a Buying a pair on 1995-1997 beams with steering knuckles and giving your truck a brake upgrade to the superior two piston brake calipers.

I cannot imagine why you'd want that much roll stiffness in any vehicle... Sway bars are all about limiting body roll, and that is mostly about driver confidence, because I was told long ago, and firmly believe that the stiffer end of the suspension will slide first... but that sway-bars...

Just that It is driving me nutz!!! I don't want to tear the headliner nor do I want to cut a hole in the roof... I can't get that thing apart!

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I have a bigger transmission! AD

Price was $55/pr and I wasn't interested at that price, but for $4 LESS than Silverstar Ultras I said what the hell and got a pair for each truck 9007's for my 1993 and a pair of 9003's for the Hella E-code lights in my 1987... $80 on lightbulbs is a lot better than $110...

Several weeks ago someone was discussing this and had part numbers for an AutoZone part that had OEM markings on it but I now can't find the topic... At the time I bookmarked the discussion but lost it... I'm building a 1993 and have a use for that info! But all I got at AutoZone was my free...
