    Oxygen sensor auto trans for manual trans

    Girlfriend's '97 GMC Sierra 2500 5.7L 5spd manual is getting new O2 sensors (keep getting fault code). I installed Bosch downstream today and will do upstream tmrw. My question is if there's really any difference between ones listed for auto vs manual? Bosch Premium Oxygen Sensor 15703 has the...

    filter change time vs oil change time?

    I recently bought a 03 XLT 4.0L 132,600mi and i am incredibly happy with it so far. I have no idea what oil has been used but I just picked up 5qts of Mobil 1 Extended Performsnce 5w-20 and a motorcraft filter. I have no intentions of going the advertised 15,000mi on this oil, I figure maybe...

    stereo sound quit then smell of burning elect...

    '95 XLT 4dr. I replaced the stock head unit when i got the explorer 2 years ago. I believe it has the external amp based on the wires. I recently began having almost no sound from front left speaker, then lastnight all the sound cut out and i could smell burning elect from what I assumed to be...

    '95 4.0 Temp guage. Is this right?

    '95 4.0 5spd. I'm seeing lots of posts about thermostats and guages tonight. My issue however, seems to be the opposite of them. I changed my manifold gaskets last weekend due to coolant pouring out the back and was too cheap and lazy to change my thermostat. I'm in the denver area so it's...

    Another ABS question

    Sorry, I've looked at lots of posts re this but not finding an answer. I replaced psgr side lower ball joint, so I removed the ABS sensor from it's hole. Now everything is back together and only when I am coming close to stoping, down to around 5-10mph, the pedal pulsates and i can hear what...

    bouncing elec gage and "surging" elect

    95 xlt. a few nights ago I got in and fired her up, turned on the map light and noticed the light kind of flickering, or surging, not sure how to describe it. I looked at the gage, don't know if these are ameter or voltmeter, but normally it sits rock steady in the middle. that night, and ever...

    trashed camshaft position sensor syncronizer

    I just replaced the camshaft sychro in my 1997 5.0 awd. Did the research, and all the steps according to the chilton manual. After installation all engine lights were out, went for a drive, and around a 1/4 mile, I experienced a chime and a check guage light. NO OIL PRESSURE!!! Tore it all apart...

    vacuum disconnect lock?

    I've had this '95 ex for a bout 2 months now and still unfamilar with the front axle. Am used to my 88 BII manual hubs. So I noticed lastnight with the front wheels off that the axle shafts are turning when I spin the rotor, dash switch on 2wd and tcase not engaged. In the manual setup I know...

    What do you think of this guy's clutch bleeding tech?

    I have NEVER had luck bleeding the clutch on my 88 BII, now I'm trying with my 95 EX and it's going about the same. What do you think about this guy's way? It seems to me that this would work well, especially with the master cylider off and tilted. Just curious what you might think. :exp: He...

    5spd difficult going into gears

    Have looked a bit and not been able to find this, though I'm sure it's on here somewhere. Picked up a '95 Ex XLT 5-speed. When it's cold out, like when I bought it, it's not very difficult to shift, but on warmer days (was 65 this afternoon) it's a real PITA! and nearly impossible without...

    know which replacment bulbs to use?

    Picked up a '95 EX XLT and a few dash light bulbs are out and I'd like to get them before ripping into the dash. The "owners guide" says 194 for instruments, 1815 for headlamp switch; anyone know which bulbs for the 4x4 selector and the rear window defroster switches (if any)? Any chance blue...

    Hello from the new guy

    I just wanted to say to all. I've had a 88 Bronco II XL since '94 and put over 200k on her, well it's getting to be too taxing to keep up with the repairs so I just picked up a '95 Explorer XLT 4.0 5 spd. While I'm really going to miss that little BII (been all over and even had to live in her...
