1. drum breaks are supposed to be self-adjusting. They simply don't do a good...

Quick Y/N: is there any reason a shop would drain the transmission when they do a clutch kit, flywheel, and slave cylinder?

rpms drop a lot slower now

Hi and thanks for reading.

The engine RPMs fall a lot slower (when shifting) after a shop replaced my clutch, slave cylinder, master cylinder, and resurfaced the flywheel. Is that normal?

Re: Why owning a truck is a hundred times better than owning a car

1) it gets my guns out to the desert and back
2) my only modding goals are "tall and full of bass"
3) country music sounds better in them
4) so much sex has been had in the passenger seat. So much.

Re: 96 4.0 OHV Bucks Accelerating and After Shifts

you need to diagnose better than this.
Clutch slipping?
Worn engine mounts?
Check Engine Light on?

Re: '96 4.0 swap into '03 with 4.0

Re: New to this forum some questions

KBB is a fair estimate of value here in AZ. Id take 8K for that truck if I was hungry for the money. If not I'd hold out for 8200.

Re: '96 4.0 swap into '03 with 4.0

The '96 Explorer probably has the older generation cologne 4.0: pushrod design with 160hp.
The '03 Ranger definitely has the new generation cologne 4.0: SOHC with 207hp.

Re: How to: Install new plugs (4.0 V6)

I used Bosch Platinum plugs and love them. (Debate plugs elsewhere.)
