So I remove the air intake duct to swap out the alternator and this is laying there. What in the world is it and where does it insert? tmp_2018021519055759491.jpg

'92 XLT - Just had the compressor replaced along with a new A/C hose as well. The system was completely charged. Air was bitterly cold for the first 24 hours and then cold to barely cool for the next 24 hours. Now what comes out of the panel is hot air. All the work done was warranty work at the...

Replaced my water pump about 8 months ago and with it replaced all coolant. Now I have a leak passenger side about a foot behind the axle. Guessing it's the heater core. Question: the water that has leaked is as rusty as it can get. What other than the radiator can it be so rusted out? BTW...

I've got a '92 XL with 189K miles. Over the past 2 to 3 months I've really noticed an increase in noise level when on the highway doing 65. The engine sounds like it's working extremely hard. Very difficult to describe the noise other than a very loud whirrring sound. Checked the RPM gauge and...

This is what an armrest for a '92 looks like after you crawl over it: The fracture is clean and I can approximate the two pieces such that there are no spaces: I've already lined up a vendor that I can buy the entire thing. But I'd like to give repairing it a try first. Can anyone...

'92 with 189,251 miles. So I'm at a red light today and smell burning/hot coolant. Got to my destination and looked under the truck only to see a brownish orange viscous liquid fast dripping from the front of the engine. Checked the coolant resevoir and it was bone dry. Limped home, took off...

I have a very similar problem as stated in this thread (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=342847&highlight=turn+flasher) and yet different. '92 Explorer 1. The right side flasher including both front and rear bulbs work fine. 2. When the left turn signal is engaged the...

When I unscrew the cap there's no normal "ppppssssshhhh" sound of gas fumes escaping, slightly noticeable smell of gas from under the hood and poor mileage. Assume it's the FPR from things I've read. Are there any diagrams, etc of where that thing is in the '92? I don't have much use of my right...

'92 w/ 189,000 miles. Over the past 2 months I've noticed a significant drop in MPG. Gas gauge is inoperative so I have to go by the "trip meter" to let me know when I'm getting close. I was stunned when I just filled it up and it took 19.72 gallons (greater than the reported tank capacity)...

1992 4.0L. I'm am your least mechanically inclined person on this board, but I'll do some repair work if it's manageable. I've got to start here due to some tight $$. About a week ago after shutting down the engine I noticed a fairly strong smell that was not burning oil or anything I...

'92 Explorer w/15 month old DuraLast battery and I live in Arizona. Everything requiring the battery has worked very well including start-ups. 2 to 3 cranks and it would fire. Two evenings ago I accidentally left the running lights, not the headlamps, on. Battery completely dead after about 7...

Battery recently tested by AAA and said charge was good and when turning over the battery is putting out sufficient amps. However, what is happening is intermittent. Sometimes when I turn the key over the starter seems like the truck just came off the assembly line. Other times when I turn the...

1992 Explorer 4.0L How do I know if there is adequate coolant in the system? When warmed up and I remove the radiator cap the fluid is approx 3-4" from the overflow hole and the coolant level in the overfill tank is right at the "Cold Level". What I'm getting is fluctuation in the temperature...
