    No Heat

    My temp gauge is normal and goes to half way about 5-7 minutes into my drive. I turn the heat on and it is slightly warm. It takes about a 1/2 hour for the heater to be hot. Do i need to change the thermostat or is it a heater core problem. Thanks.

    Grey Trim Area On Explorer

    nerdboy666 I have the same color explorer as rsxracer192. I was thinking about painting the trims as well. I am assuming you took the trim off the wheel well and doors, painted and then reinstalled them. How hard were they to remove? How hard where they to reinstal? If you had them...

    Fuel Pump Float AGAIN

    My fuel pump float went yesterday (second time in a year and a half). The gauge was going up and down like before. Instead of doing all of that work to replace a stupid float for a second time or looking at the mileage counter all of time, is there something easier and safer (running out of...

    Fuel Gauge Light

    I have a '92 EB Explorer and the other night i ran out (first time since I bought the truck five years ago) of gas but no warning light appeared. I was wondering if my warning light was out or even if the truck has one? If not, is there any warning light accessory that can be added? Thanks.
