comanche12 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Cranked up the engine and let it idle to see if there any leak from replace oil pan gasket. There no leaks expect coolant. The engine bay is cover with mud so I started clean the engine bay little, check the filter and noticed its been all rotted and alittle shrinked. I got it replaced.

possum Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I am pretty sure I have seen that truck out at the Mounds ORV park about 2 years back. If it wasn't that one it has an identical twin. I didn't have any CC cards with me that day either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comanche12 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 i just realize my 9" rear differential cover is little different which have to remove my both side axle shaft to able remove the differential gear. at least i removed one of shaft out of axle to see kind of bearing to able know which year of explorer and sweetness the axle shaft its self call big bear! I'm happy with my kind of rear. thats why I'm look for explorer brake there NO brakes parts, etc. on my 9" rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I'm confused about what your saying about your brakes. 9in brakes shouldnt be hard to get. that isnt an explorer axle either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to replace anyway Got Front gear Differential out. feel like to por15 my shaft since its will touch alot of salt, mud, etc since i live near chicago where there tons of salt on road :( por15 coat after been cover by brake fluid when i removed the caliper out of the way. guess por15 isnt tough enough anti the brake fluid haha wirebrushed the long arm repaint por15 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
