It wouldn't be the first time, but not this time. The flow on my ’93 goes from the radiator cooler to the drivers side fitting on aux cooler and out of the passenger side fitting back to the tranny. I put the filter on the inlet to the aux cooler because it was a straight run and I didn’t have...

Changed my transmission fluid and put a magnefine inline filter on.

I may be a little late to the party on this for the OP, but here's where I put my inline filter: I had to take the grill off to put it next to the aux cooler but that's only two screws and two clips. The way I have it - it's downstream of the radiator cooler and upstream of the aux cooler...

Moving my camper around the yard

My fuel gauge hasn't worked in years. I think the problem is that the float leaks and quits floating. I reset the trip meter every time that I fill up and go to the gas station every 250 miles or so. There's a lot of good info in the stickies. I'd change all the fluids and filters, check the...

Thanks for the link! I got 4 sets for $8.21 and I didn't even have to leave the house.

I didn't re-Search this, but I think I remember that the 91-92 had 2.25" pipes and 93-94 went to 2". The new exhaust I got is 2.25" and will be compatible with a '93. I'm not as concerned about the sound as I am not getting CO and heat build up under my truck from a holey old exhaust. It's not...

Thanks to the Explorer Forum, I got a deal on a new exhaust. After doing a few searches and following the recommendations of some of the members, I logged onto Summit Racing and picked up a Dynomax exhaust system for $135.90 (shipping included). With the $75 rebate from Dynomax, total out of...

It'll make it a lot easier to spot the leak if you clean/degrease the area first, refill the ps reservoir and check again. Once oil starts leaking out, it can migrate all over the place making it harder to pinpoint the source.

I got my '93 from my Dad in '04 and I had flushed the cooling system a few years prior to that because his coolant looked like Chattahoochie River water. When I got it in '04, it was dirty again and the temp gauge was staying on cold. I replaced the thermostat with an OEM unit, and a few years...

60K would probably be OK, but I'd do it now. I changed mine at 54K the first time and there was a lot of clutch dust on the bottom of the pan and magnet. I've dropped the pan and changed the filter twice since and added an inline tranny filter after the aux cooler. Now I'm set up to just...

I cut the heater hoses about 6" from the heater core and added some 5/8 hose barbs. In May, I bypass the heater core, in October, I reconnect it. I didn't do the hoses right at the heater core because it's harder to dis and re-connect that way. I plug the open hose ends to the heater core to...

I vote for the pan drop and filter change first, fluid exchange through the cooler lines after that, maybe an inline filter added while you have the lines disconnected. Flushing the system (especially a back flush) through a dirty filter and pan doesn't seem like the best approach to me.

I've read about adding Marvel Mystery Oil at 1 quart/oil change. I would be looking for the cause of the oil usage and fix that before switching to synthetic. You're using/adding 5 qts. of oil per 3000 miles; a lot of people add bypass filtration to extend their oil change intervals. I don't...

I use the Havoline MD3 that I get at Sam's for $27 a case. Then I do a cooler line flush every 20-30K miles. Used to drop the pan and change the filter, now I have a magnafine inline. Toss in a bottle of Lubegard red and I have one smooth tranny.

Was your differential cold when you dropped the cover? Maybe the trash precipitated out. I did my '93 at about 83K and I did it after it was warmed up. My fill plug was just like yours but the fluid was a thick, gray mess. I put cheap gear oil in it and changed it again at 100K. The second...

I added a magnafine filter on the auxiliary cooler line after I had dropped the tranny pan and changed the filter and fluid. I didn't use the remote filter to clean up the system, but to keep it clean after the system was serviced.

Excessive blow-by being sucked into your air intake via pcv and burned giving you the white smoke out the tailpipe possibly. Are your sparkplugs fouled? Adding 4 quarts of oil meant that you were driving around with only 1 quart in the engine, or you just overfilled it. Overfilling will make...

I had a three year old Autozone battery go dead on me. It cost $50 at the time; they're $76 now. It had an eight year warranty. They gave me 5/8ths of the original price back, I had $20 on my rewards card available, they sold me the new battery at the old battery price, so it cost me $2. Keep...

Is the hose hooked up from the air intake (downstream of the MAF) to the oil filler neck?

I dropped the pan and changed the filter and 4 quarts at 55,000. Did it again at 80,000 with a fluid exchange through the tranny cooler hose, and have done it again since plus added an inline filter at the cooler; all with no problems what so ever. One of the better discussions on changing...
