    1994 Explorer R134a amount

    Overheating on a 1991 Ford Explorer :(

    Awesome man, I am glad you got it figured out. I was going to ask if you were using a 50/50 mixture and a had a working radiator cap. Seeing as you are from Texas, it gets pretty hot down there :D

    Front Driver's Wheel Bearing

    I think I have tracked the heat source down to the EGR tube or the headers. Only thing else I could think of would be a dragging brake pad. Kind of clueless :roll: 90 degrees today though, I will take a look at it tomorrow when its cooler :D

    Front Driver's Wheel Bearing

    UPDATE: Car drove to and from work alright. No "bearing roar" or pull when braking. Still have a burning smell coming from the drivers front wheel well though.

    Front Driver's Wheel Bearing

    I have been experiencing a problem with my left front wheel bearing recently. Noticed it a few months ago. (Burning smell from the tire) The vehicle would pull to the left when I applied the brakes. Thought it was originally a caliper, replaced both and still had the problem. Then I noticed a...

    hello!

    Hey all, I realized I never made a post when I first got here a few years ago. Not a big poster but have found great help from using the search feature.

    Question for those that have done a lower intake gasket

    Replaced one about a month ago, the RTV held up great with no leaks at all. Just make sure to allow it to dry first (1hr) and then cure (24hrs)

    Diamond clear headlights with HID on 94 EXP

    I have had the HID's in the diamond clears for a few months. I'm not really a fan, they are aimed so low down that you cant see 40+ feet in front of you. I was running 6000K but just switched to 5000K to see if there is a difference. If not I am going to switch back to halogens, less light but...

Will also...

    13MPG Highway??!

    Yes I think you may be on to something. I will look into it this weekend. If it means anything my exhaust has always had a real strong pungent odor to it (rotten eggs almost). My father has the same vehicle and I notice his doesn't have this smell coming from the exhaust. Could it mean I am...

    03 ranger, killed battery, now no go

    Hi had the same problem in my Explorer. I ended up having a loose cable going to the starter solenoid, and then later discovered a few corroded cables. Got them replaced and no problems since then.

    I have the same problem, and am curious to a solution. However I did switch to Valvoline High Mileage Power Steering Fluid with stop leak, and it has reduced the amount it leaks considerably.
