Title: Headed to PnP Saturday, need anything?
Post by: oakback on August 06, 2013, 08:32:37 AM

Their inventory shows an '88 and '89. I need a driveshaft, I buggered up my slip yoke (http://suxorz.com/images/2013/08/06/GSJE3.jpg) while hammering it off (it was frozen in place for some reason).

If anyone is looking for a part, let me know and I'll keep an eye out for it.

Let me know if you see any 5.0 explorers. I need the front accessories and brackets off the motor.

Their inventory shows 28 Explorers. Did certain years or trim levels come with 5.0? Just to narrow the search a bit.

you WILL need a harmonic balancer puller.  Also, a clutch fan removal tool is nice to have, though 90% of the loaner tools from napa/autozone/discount don't work for the explorer.  If you can't find a tool, you can use one of the pulley bolts to bolt on a long piece of flat metal(I used a piece of 3/4 x 1/8 aluminum stock) to keep the pulley from spinning, and a large adjustable wrench will fit down on the fan nut, it is an enormous PITA.  Conversely, you can remove the waterpump/fan as a unit and worry about the dis-assembly later.

Inventory shows 2 potential donors, a 92 and a 94.

edit: just to be clear, I won't have time to pull any parts for anybody, but I can check to see if they're there.

10-4, I just wanted to know if they even had one in stock before I drive over there.

I found one 5.0 Explorer, but the whole front was already gone (timing cover, wp, accessories).

I found one Taurus e-fan:
