91 Ford Explorer parts truck $400

[Burg460]

My buddy has a 91 Ford Explorer 2 door that he wants gone. He used some parts off it to fix another one that was wrecked in the passenger side front so the fender, and front clip is off it. He also switched the suspension stuff around so it has the bent parts under the right front. The 4.0 runs good in it. It has a 5 speed in it but the syncro's are trashed in it in 4th gear. Odometer reads 58k, we think its probably 158k. I figured it could be a good motor swap/donor rig for someone that wants a complete swap. Anyone can hear it run. He is just off I-25 at the Loveland exit. It would need to be towed though. I don't think he has a title for it either so thats why it is parts. His name is Rob and if anyone wants to call him his number is 970-214-9874. I could probably answer any questions about it through here too. :)

[PaleBlue90]

i wish i had some cash.....id try to snag the 4.0:(

[1 EYE]

1st. question is the tranny good?
2nd. question will it work in a 95 explorer 4 door?

[Tilt168]

1eye: u want a trashed '91 standard tranny?

[BLOODBANE]

1eye here is your answer...... It has a 5 speed in it but the syncro's are trashed in it in 4th gear.

[rwmorrisonjr]

I want that engine, let's see what we can do through PM!

[Burg460]

PM sent!

[rwmorrisonjr]

Went and looked at this yesterday, and I'm going to buy it. The engine runs strong and starts right up. For $400, nto only do I get the engine, but the D35 & 8.8 rear. All the synchros in the tranny are shot, but it'll get up on a car carrier for the trip to its disection place. Going to try and get it next weekend.

Now that I'm going to buy it, I need a place to store it and strip it down. Anyone here got some extra space I can borrow for a while so I can tear it down? If I could get the BII there as well that would be a bonus. I'm willing to pay rent, would rather pay someone here than the storage place I'm paying for now.

[bronc_17113]

I could prolly help u do tear down at my mother in laws in fort collins if we could do it quick

[Warrlord]

Sounds like a pretty good deal Rich. You also get the ECU & wire harness.

[rwmorrisonjr]

Bronc, that would work as long as the weather cooperates. Might also see if I can take it over to my m-i-l's place and park it there since she has a paved lot. Want to get it closer to Castle Rock since that's where the transplant recipient is.

[bronc_17113]

no worries man either way let me know and i'm more than happy to help

[rwmorrisonjr]

Allright, the Ex is mine, just paid Rob today for it. He's okay with letting it sit there for a while, so I'm planning on picking it up sometime during the next several weeks.

Now I need some help with pulling the motor and stripping it. In addition to the motor, I'm going to take both axles (D35, 8.8) for future upgrades. I'm also willing to part out the majority of the truck, including the interior, bolt-on body parts, glass, transfer case and anything else people want. The tranny's about to grenade, so don't ask for it, its not worth taking.

If there's someone down south that wouldn't mind helping me with pulling the engines out of both trucks and has a place where we can do it, I'd be eternally grateful (read: lots of beer to start) for the help. Post here if you can give me a hand with this. South includes NW Denver since the Ex is in Loveland.

[Warrlord]

Is the t/case a manual shifted t/case?

I live kinda North East but I have a hoist My space is real tight now too It might work if You have one that is licenced and can stay on the street till its time to swap the other one coul dfit in the garage and we could pull it onto the concrete to work then push it backinto the garage at night but like I said Im kinda nourth east just South/West of70/270

[84broncoII]

:banana: :beer: I got a new Bar-b-q Too Woo! Hoo!

Also if You wanted to make it a weekend or had a coupla days off You could stay in My RV and rough it for a coupla days save You the drive time too and from the rockhttp://www.rmftc.com/forums/http://inlinethumb04.webshots.com/26947/2693453020074327474S425x425Q85.jpg (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2693453020074327474BMRzei)

hahahaha now that sounds like a good time....
rmftc sleepover anyone?

[Warrlord]

aw bummer http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/Warrlord/Misc/cry.gif

[rwmorrisonjr]

James, that might work for the Ex since the BII already has a place to live. Neither truck is licensed so they can't live on the street, but if I could bring the Ex down, strip it and then dump the shell, then bring up the BII for the swap, that would be great. Plus I'd have an excuse to hit the Pull-n-Save for the fuel lines that I need for the swap. Call or PM me about your plans over the next several weekends so we can set this up.

[Hypoid]

Awesome! I know where James lives, plus you have really accumulated the bubba points. LOL

[rwmorrisonjr]

Okay, here's the tentative plan: going to rent a trailer, pick up the Ex and get it to James' place next Saturday, then start stripping it down that weekend so that I can get rid of the Ex as quickly as possible. If anyone's up for helping out, let me know so we can get coordinated.

I can put them in the house if they get too loud or If We want to use the bar-b-q.

evil rat dogs.....you know what koreans do to annoying dogs right?

[rwmorrisonjr]

No one's volunteered to go with me yet. I'm picking up the trailer at the Uhaul at Colfax & 225 at 0900 (or ealier) on Saturday, want to have the truck at James' by noon so I can dump the trailer and start working on the engine pull. Not planning on working on Sunday since that's usually a family day, but with 3-4 people it shouldn't take too long to pull the engine. The axles are another story, not going to worry about it now.

The engine shouldn't take long... couple hours tops I would assume with 3-4 people.

[rwmorrisonjr]

That's what I thought, especially since its a manual tranny. Wish I could pull the axles too, but then we couldn't roll it in & out of the garage if needed.

[bronc_17113]

Rich I can help you pick it up if need be

[84broncoII]

dogs right?
I may have given the wrong impression My dogs with Me are the sweetest animals on the planit .I dont take them out much and they are not acustomed to visiting with company I may be able to introduce some to the dogs and take time to deal with that aspect I felt it counter productive to the theme of the day even though I may be neglecting the education of My dogs if anyone shows up and is willing to negotiate with them when Im present I will be glad to introduce You to them .The warning was just that .for My own benifit .
I would also like to mention there is a nice park one block away from where I live it has pic-n-nic tables and bar-b-q pits and swingsets and plenty of grass tenis courts and soccer fields /baseball fields too running trac and so on so forth I live near a High school so its a nice walk just to spend an hour or so to get some exorcize :D

dangerous? really? i never really considered a dog i could punt as much of a threat.....i mean what are they gonna do? bite my ankles?

(i just want to make sure you know im joking around and mean no disrespect to your dogs)

[84broncoII]

From any grown human and many other dogs I feel the danger to My dogs except the mailman My boy dog got loose one day and jumped all the way to the mailmans coller if He had bit him on the throat ?? Im afraid to think what might have happened as it was He just tor the mans shirt Happened so fast it surprised everyone The dog is like that sometimes trying to protect my wife He wont let anyone near Her when she's sleepint too even the other dogs .It's a good thing the mailman likes dogs He just shrugged it off .
Either way I dont want there to be any misunderstanding or anyone to get hurt .
The little buggers do bark loudly and during the day they have the run of the yard most days sometimes the children of the nieborhood tease the dogs One little boy got nipped on the butt for all His efforts .
Lucky for us He didn't tell his mother or father .they dont get out of the yard .,everytime its some kind of interaction with My wife they can jerk the leash out of Her hand .The boy dog is the one I worry about the most He seems to be the most agressive and aparently He can hold a grudge .

[bronc_17113]

Hey james depending on whether or not rich needs me to come down and help him load up the ex I'll come down a lil early to help you with yor project.

[84broncoII]

Hey james depending on whether or not rich needs me to come down and help him load up the ex I'll come down a lil early to help you with yor project.
I'll probly be straightining out the garage I keep trying to do it but keep running into more projects Yesterday I had to swap radiators from My 86 to My 84 one is brass and the other is plastis and the mount totally different the bottom hoses are different too
It would have been a twenty minut job If I had wanted to spent the money for a new one If I could have found one LOL and was willing to spend a fortune :angryfire:
In a crazed frenzy I cut off the old mounts to both and welded the 86 mounts on the 84 an 8doller flex hose and done but what another mess LOL:D

[rwmorrisonjr]

Don, I'll let you know about Saturday, but since ROb will be there to help with the truck, I don't think I'll need anyone else up there.

Haven't listed the Ex on CL yet, going to do that today, maybe we'll get some interest in it for the weekend.

[thesoundmaster]

Oh rich, if the squrrel cage is still good, mind if I snag if off ya for the folks exploder... it's been a bitch getting the right one for theirs... I'll talk to my dad about getting some cash for it

Perfect!

[bronc_17113]

what shape are the tires and wheels? will they fit a BII?

[rwmorrisonjr]

They'll fit a BII, but I'm not sure of the condition of the tires. If you're at James' place on Saturday you can look at them and make a decision.

[bronc_17113]

sweet, thanks, we shall see I just think the thing is going to be a dog with 31's until I can regear

[rwmorrisonjr]

It shouldn't be too bad, I was running 31's on the BII with 3.45s for a while, got great highway mileage!

[84broncoII]

I have one with 33's and 373 gears now thats pushing it lol I can four wheel with it but I gotta rev the engine alot and play with the clutch way more than I like .

[bronc_17113]

I never said get drunk lol It's just what I normally do on staurdays

[rwmorrisonjr]

Don, clear out your PMs!

I just called Rob and left him a message about picking up the truck tomorrow. I'm planning on being up there between 1000-1030 tomorrow to get the truck and haul it to James' place.

James, send me your address so I know where I'm going tomorrow. I'm renting the trailer from the Uhaul at Colfax & 225.

[bronc_17113]

I actually cleared them out at around 6 in the morning when I finally got the phone list done lol I have ten in there now so i dunno whats up

[rwmorrisonjr]

Wouldn't let me send it earlier, might be a lag in the system somewhere. Guess we can blame Matt for this!

[bronc_17113]

sure thing lol

[bronc_17113]

aight yall I have to bail on tommorrow the tranny on this bII i just bought took a shit on the way home and I have to figure out wjhat I am going to do about it

[rwmorrisonjr]

What happened to it?

[Hypoid]

I'm working on her, we'll see how this turns out.Noonish...Jeremy and I will be there. Expect to see me work with the quickness, leave in time to go cook dinner. I still have some tentative plans in that area tomorrow. Call my cell # with an ETA when you are on your way to Aurora.

Don, if you need us to scout pull-n-save, just say the word. Year-engine-tranny should be enough to get an interchange listing. Tranny + core is $100 before tax.

BTW, I'm looking for a set of buckets that go up and down so my Mrs can see over the hood of the Ranger. :p

[84broncoII]

What trany do You have in that thing ?

[84broncoII]

I got a tow bar at My place if You want to come and get it

[bronc_17113]

thanks for the offer james I got it home....barely. A4ld is the tranny

[rwmorrisonjr]

If you want to swap in a 5-speed, the Ex has a complete setup but 4th is screwed according to Rob, so it'll need a rebuild. It's an M5OD. Let me know if your interested, we'll have it out of the truck this afternoon.

[bronc_17113]

hey guys I think I will proly make it down for a bit after all but I won't be staying real late.

[rwmorrisonjr]

Well, the engine is pulled and at James' place now waiting for a cleanup, new seals, and its new home! The Ex is still there, going to part it out before sending it to the scrapyard. If anyone know of somebody needing parts from it, let me know ASAP so we can coordinate meeting at James'. The seats, tranny and axles are already spoken for.

[bronc_17113]

and tires and wheels are spoken for.

[84broncoII]

P.S. P.S. If anyone has a free minut or two this week after work I want to put the camper shell back on My 62 GMC and then store My bike till Rich gets His shit out of My Garage

[rwmorrisonjr]

So you went and bought another toy? And here I was worried about taking up space that you use for work!

How do we want to handle this now? If you can last until the weekend I'll make arrangements to get the Ex picked up on Sunday by the scrap yard after I've picked the axles and other crap off of it. Anyone who wants stuff from it, let me and James know so we can coordinate meeting up this week.

I had to show off My toy and give You shit at the same time :D I gotta get a cover for it before i can store in on the trailer I dont even know yet if it will fit under the campershell .Getting it off the truck was no big deal .It was alot safer getting it on the truck with two people .intill I get my trailer back I may need to find a ridding buddie to help with the loading or simply figure something out .My wife really did pitch a fit though about Me wanting to store it in the house LOL;) :D

[shawns 64 F100]

you need a ramp for it? there is one in my garage you can have its a metal grate type just for loading them up and off trailors and trucks

[rwmorrisonjr]

Funny, I should have known after the amount of crap I took on Saturday. BTW, did you put the top of the stock airbox in the back of the Ex? It has the MAF sensor attached to it and I can't lose that since I'm going to K&N the intake when I'm done with the swap.

[thesoundmaster]

Oh, Rich... I got to Parker and 225, realized I left the damn blower motor back there. Unfortunately I'm not gunna make it Saturday, we have a company shindig going on with the hotel I was committed to.

I got the bike to idle good today and it starts better like first or second kick I worked on the turn signal needed a bulb and the headlight had two shorts I fixed one the second is going to be more difficult as it is in the switch and the switch plastic is broken . I might have to do a handyman special as I know that factory switch is expensive

Edit: Iwannaride!

[bronc_17113]

i likee bikes. I don't need the tranny rich and if mike has a torch we should be able to make short work of the axles I have my impact loaded don't forget the metric impact sockets.

[thesoundmaster]

I won't be able to make it, but I accidentally left the blower motor in the back of the Exploder, so is it too much to ask someone to snag it for me?

[bronc_17113]

naw i told ya i'd grab last week when u asked

[rwmorrisonjr]

A torch souds good, let's get this thing stripped!

I'm heading out now, have both sets of sockets and my impact gun just in case.

[Hypoid]

I'm loading up now. Get the fuel tank isolated, I'll bring some sheet for a cutting shield.

[Hypoid]

Ouch! It is finished. Now to get the Heep ready for Saxon Mtn.

[rwmorrisonjr]

James, Don, Mike and everyone else who helped over the past two weekends, I appreciate all of it. Mike, your torch made short work of today, including that bastard of a lug nut for Don's new BII wheels.

I got the engine out of the trailer and almost on the stand after getting home, need some shorter bolts for the mount holes on the sides of the block. Also pulled the clutch and flywheel off, next job is a thorough cleaning and degreasing before changing all the seals, wires and plugs.

Tomorrow, I'm resting, but I might be up for Saxon if I wake up in time.

[Tilt168]

wow....looks demolished

[rwmorrisonjr]

We took the best and scrapped the rest, now it gets to be transplanted!

[84broncoII]

I never actually mounted and engine to a stand ?? where do You mount it? maby the back of the block where the bell housing bolts up?

[shawns 64 F100]

yes it mounts up where the bell housing bolts to it. you usually use longer bolts with spacers so it al lfits evenly

[rwmorrisonjr]

Yes, Shawn beat me to it. My stand has short spacers built onto the arms, I just need to get some shorter bolts or a lot of washers to mount the engine correctly so I can tear it apart. The 4.0 also has two threaded holes, one on each side of the block outside the flywheel, where I can also mount the arms.
