Hey guys, Wondering if anybody has any insight into what could cause the engine to shake like this? I only have a video of the shifter shaking and not the actual engine but you can get an idea of how much movement there is. The video is me stopped, in 1st gear (the clicking you hear is the...

I had to Dremel out the center of the covers on these Ranger wheels. Very easy to do with a cutting/drill bit on a Dremel tool.

It's fixed! It was the fuel pressure regulator! I also replaced the throttle position sensor, and the 02 sensor. Cleaned the MAF and the idle control valve and the engine has never run smoother! Thanks for the help guys, hopefully this info will lead somebody in the right direction in the...

Thanks for the reply MrShorty. Do you have any idea why it was mostly air coming out of the fuel pressure tester? It almost seemed like the fuel pump was pumping air.

So I did a little deeper digging and tested the fuel pressure. Here is what I found. Pressure when priming (Key On Engine Off) - 42psi Pressure while running - 35psi However, while running the fuel pressure spiked to 80-100 psi at times and would flutter in that range. While holding the...

Thanks for the help guys. I'll start tracing those vacuum lines. How would an engine/air temp sensor cause my issue? (Not to sound ignorant, I'm just genuinely curious)

Hey guys, an issue sudddenly popped up on my 91 Explorer X, 5-speed. On cold starts (like after sitting over night) it runs extremely rough and seems like a pretty bad misfire. As you can see in the video the entire truck shakes and the exhaust seems like it sputters. There's also a very...

1) I just noticed tonight that both of my license plate lights didn't work. Naturally I thought they had burnt out and bought replacements. I replaced them and they still don't work. I tried reversing them, and still nothing. The connector that the bulb plugs into looks to be in good shape with...

If you want to go brand new and don't mind spending $44 on them, LMC Truck has them. https://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fex/full.aspx?Page=8

Thanks very much for the suggestion but after doing a pressure test it was obvious where the coolant was coming from. The seams at the side of the rad let go and were leaking when the system was at full pressure. Most definitely leaking while driving. Cheers!

So, I'm having a mystery of the disappearing coolant. I'll fill up the overflow and in a few days it's bone dry and the level in the rad is a touch low. I can't notice any obvious leaks (and I feel that it would be pretty obvious if there was one). There's no puddles on my driveway or in my...

Awesome man. This is the kind of info that'll get someone back on the road quicker. Cheers.

How does she drive with the new box? Tighter?

Thanks a lot man, really appreciate you taking the time to check! :thumbsup: And thanks to everyone else for the tips and suggestions :)

Thanks for the help guys! I've found a couple panels on various online sites but they're all with power windows. If anybody does come across one in a junkyard I'd be very willing to buy it from you :)

I'm kind of tired of looking at my passenger side door handel which is currently held in place by wood screws. Does anybody know where I can find one of these? Obviously I'm not going to find a new one but all the junkyards around me don't have a first gen Explorer, let alone many 2 doors...

Now that it's gotten a bit warmer outside it doesn't seem to be happening any more. I'll wait for the next cold snap and see if it happens again but in the meantime I'll definitely work on getting the codes pulled. Cheers

Thanks for the tips Willy! Will definitely have a look at all of those things. I should also mention the plugs and wires were replaced before the summer.

Hey guys, I've had a Check Engine light that has been coming on intermittently for about a week now. The light will come on randomly (usually while driving at a constant speed and the engine is warmed up) and it will only stay on for about 5 seconds. When the Check Engine light comes on...

I'm not too keen on shaving off the factory trim piece so I went ahead and ordered the new trim piece. Now I have to ask if anybody has any install tips for that trim piece :D Thanks guys!

Thanks Jason, if I don't use the kit I linked and just used the headunit's trim ring, would there be gaps?

Also, do I need this kit? http://www.crutchfield.com/p_176F14/Ford-Mazda-In-dash-Receiver-Kit.html#overview-tab

Can you elaborate on what needs to be trimmed, please?

So I've searched and couldn't really find what was necessary to install a single DIN head unit into my 91 Explorer. I'd go with the appropriate wiring harness, but would some sort of dash kit be required? How about an antenna adapter? I have the standard cassette radio without the Dolby option...

Could it be the auto hubs themselves? Have you tested them? Here's a great thread on testing them (Click Here) but if you want a short version: Jack up one front tire, make sure the truck is well supported on jack stands, climb under and spin the front driveshaft in any direction. Within a...
