The boy just bought a 15 xlt explorer. Says when you try to use the hvac the screen is grayed out and gets air out of defroster. Any common issue with this or bright ideas. Thanks Jim

Building a couple budget hot rods with a 2 best friends and all we really need for these cars are the block, heads, and most of the front belt drive. Everything else is up for grabs. Thought of the bronco community first as these parts listed are desired by folks looking to do ford factory efi conversions. Both are 1996 running explorers, one drives (had it up to 60+, upshifts and downshifts fine) and the other one ran and drove on and off the trailer but the seller says it needs a trans... Read more

I am wanting this exact set up. What size aluminum tubing, which 2 silicone couplers, and what air filter bolts to the explorer TB?

I've searched and searched but only found a few tidbits of information in previous build threads but nothing that gives me the confidence to try it. I guess I could just use the Lokar shift arm and rod if it's not ideal to use the stock cable and shifter mechanism shown below.

Includes: left and right brackets, tensioner, all pulleys, PS pump with fittings still attached for size and reservoir, hardware / alt plugs.

I have been reading, re-reading, cutting and pasting, bookmarking and referencing a ton of material about the Holley and the Explorer. The Explorer is awd, dont know if that helps, hurts or is irrelevent to my cause. For the Holley system: Motor Front serpentine setup Transmission. Because the Holley comes with its own harness, I can skip keeping the harness and computer. I believe the Hooley is manifold air pressure, where the Explorer is Mass air flow. Im not interested in the... Read more

Building a Bronco plan on swapping a 98 or newer explorer motor with the auto trans (4R70). Will be running a Dana 20 with a heavy duty output shaft and 37 inch tires mostly driven on the street. Leaning towards 4.88 gears to keep the contact patch greater than 5.38’s. Other Bronco owners that are running this set up. What gear ratios do you recommend?

ClassicBroncos · latrucker · 27 Oct 2026

Thinking about buying the Holley Terminator X max to control engine and trans instead of moving forward with the explorer stuff. Are there any downfalls besides the cost? It’s going on a 351W with Ed Curtis cam and heads around 330hp / 400tq at the wheels and trans is a 1999 4R70W. EFI guy is no longer doing power tuning due to EPA crack down on emissions and Decipha is really busy and hard to get in touch with. Thought this would be a good alternative. Let me know if anyone has had any... Read more

The UAPI in Bossier City has a complete 4x4 v8 1999 explorer for anyone looking to do a explorer efi and 4r70w swap. Thought I would share.

Here’s a pic of our 2019 Explorer Sport intake. What product(s) have you used to safely clean the oxidization on aluminum parts like this? - Aluma Brite? - NAPA Aluminum Brightener? - Or…? Guess I’m relying on more of a chemical cleaner than mechanical because there are so many areas you can see, but can’t get to easily with a brush.

EFI Wiring Harness Modification Sends your donor harness to a specialist (like The EFI Guy ) to strip out anti-theft (PATS), emissions, and rear O2 sensors while leaving engine and 4R70W controls intact. $500 - $800

I believe I'm not the first. For a few months now I've been trying to pretend that the coolant drip on my shop floor under my Bronco wasn't real. But it is, and in the last several days it's gotten so bad that it leaks even when parked. Out the weep hole on the pump. Maybe a quarter cup of fluid onto the floor just sitting parked, over a couple of days. This is an Explorer style pump. It's not the only problem I've had with it. Two gaskets were required to keep the impeller clear of the... Read more

96-01 Explorer V8 power steering reservoir. Good used condition. Top is a little faded and the retainer strap is removed. Obsolete from Ford - good to have for your Explorer front dress conversion. $25 includes the ride to your house. Todd Z.

Lars offered to get a run of these made for us. Would allow you to run a factory ford 3.8 cam sync on a 351w block. Prices would run $125, he can confirm but I believe he can get them down to $83 if we can get 9 or more people signed up. Please post below if interested. Going to post over on SoCal Bronco FB site as well. Thanks -Kirk

I acquired this Bronco from a friend a few years ago, he had owned for a quite a while. I don't know the complete history of it but at one point it was on tons and 40's with a 408. A small engine fire when he was out wheeling caused the removal of the 408 for repair and an explorer 5.0 was installed. He was in the process of downsizing the axles to make it more of a driver and life happened. That is when I bought it, basically sitting on junkyard axles with nothing but mounts tacked in...

I'm getting ready to pull the harness out of a 96' explorer and was wondering what all to get. I have heard efiguy had a PDF, but can't find it anymore. Also, I'm very new to this forum so please be patient with me. Can anyone tell me how to reach out to efiguy?
