    Good bye old friend!!

    Hello all, been a while since I've posted. Well, due to some unfortunate luck, my 93 is no longer with me. 2 weeks ago some old high school buddies had a get together at a friends house. About 11pm that night we heard a huge crash. Looked out, and there was my Explorer 4 door turned into a...

    Will these injectors fit in my Explorer?

    I can't help you with your question of will they fit. But I did buy a set from that guy for my 93 about 6 months ago, and he was great to deal with. Very quick to answer emails, and the shipping was very quick. If you find something that fits yours and he has it, go for it. I would certainly...

    preventative maintenance (transmission)

    [COLOR=orangered] I agree with aldive. I changed my filter and flushed the fluid myself with cheap fluid, then flushed in mobil 1. I also installed a remote external filter. So far it has kept the A4LD gods at bay, still running strong.

    Any suggestions on a new battery?

    I got an everstart extreme at Walmart for around 65 bucks. It was 1000 CCA and the stock size. I can't remember the warranty, but 5 year replacement comes to mind. Been in mine for over a year and no problems.

    91-94 water pumps, how long they last?

    I replaced my water pump at a little over 140,000 miles, not because it died, but I replaced my lower intake manifold and had access to it and thought why not, cheap insurance I thought. I replaced it with a new unit. Although my origional one with 140.000 was still working just fine. I'm at...

    Just changed front sway bar bushings.....NICE!

    I just changed my front sway bar bushings today with Moog poly bushings. Man, what a difference!! My ex seemed to wander down the highway and body roll more than it used to. Made the steering feel sloppy on the highway, and had some mild vibrations too. I thought what the heck, the bushings...

    Jeep vs. Ex

    My flying buddy and long time friend works at a Chryslyer/Jeep dealership here in town. He's a man of few words, and isn't a big Ford fan. But I asked him about Jeeps, and he said "If I had a Jeep and the a case of the clap......I'd get rid of the Jeep first"

    Yeh, I'm ditching my lame exploder for an Aztec, it will look nice in the garage next to my PT Cruiser with flames and wood paneling. :confused:

    Front brakes wearing fast

    I've actually been quite pleased with the brakes on my 93. The front pads were replaced by a dealership right before I bought it. I don't know what kind of pads they used, but other than creating quite a bit of brake dust, I like them. They have a little over 50,000 miles on them and haven't...

    Secondary Transmission Filter Installed (Feedback)

    Just found this OEM Ford filter kit on ebay If I didn't have one on mine, this may be a good and resonably priced option. I didn't know Ford made such a kit. Dead Link Removed

    anyone else have this prob. when warm outside

    Yes there are two. If you look at the motor the one on the left is the one for the gauge, located just above and behind the thermostat. The one the computer reads is to your right just below the right side of the throttle body, at least it is on mine. I also bought a Ford sensor, two places...

    anyone else have this prob. when warm outside

    I'm not sure if this is related, but I too had the warm start problem with mine. It would not start or was very hard and seemed to flood itself when warm.I tried everything and ended up being a bad temperature sensor, the one that goes to the computer. Haven't had a problem since I replaced...
