I use google photos. Then there's a website to convert the pictures into a generic link that can be posted here. I use it and it works well. Free too

Update guys..... Got that bitch running!!! Did the exhaust last week. Its the stock expo headers to 2 cats and X pipe and a dual in to dual out muffler it sounds beefy. Kinda hating i would of liked thos tri y headers but i have P heads and the autofab mounts are crazy closetothe frame. Im also reusing the stock fan but i will swap it out later for an electric im tight on money right now

Also i have a quick question. How do you guys relocate the stock fuel filter, its suuuuuper close to my exhaust piping.

I will upload pictures when i get something to upload them with ima try google pictures like blackwidow said

Did you end up installing the 4r70w or did you go with a 5 speed?

Are you sure the yoke is too small? Fords typically use the same diameter yoke for a lot of their shafts

I'd bet money it's the tailshaft seal leaking. They tear easily. Usually a 10.00 part down at the old auto boner

Yea i changed it because it was torn but the new one is just a litttttle bit bigger i can see a tiny gap around the shaft which leads me to believe if i grab a explorer yoke and swap it to my shaft it would work fine. Im hating because i left the shaft in the dornor truck and it hit the junkyard already haha

Sooo the joint fit perfectly and no more leaks i got around to checking it out and the truck is running now!!!! Pumped i deove it to pump gas and put air in the tires. So far it runs good but it seems ike it as a missfire or something. My cats were getting hot last night but today that stopped.

I was just wondering if i should buy a fuel pump or just leave my stock ranger. That could be the problem tho since its a really high pressure compared to what the explorer 5.0 is
