My father has a 97 explorer with the base stereo. I want to get him a factory cd player for christmas. I have found a 98 single disk and an 01 6 disk player. Will either of these fit in his 97?

So my truck starting having very heavy steering a few weeks ago. Then it progressed to not fully returning to straight after a turn. Now tonight I had a scary situation where the tires turned one way and when I turned the steering wheel nothing happened. About 15 seconds later the steering...

I searched and couldn't find anything Long story short I was rear ended in my 91 explorer and everything was fixed up by the body shop except one thing and I don't feel like dealing with them anymore. The recline lever on the seats works like normal and none of the teeth are stripped. My...

A few weeks ago I was rear ended on the highway in my X. The body shop fixed my bumper and gave the truck an alignment. Later I realized that the driver and passenger seats are always now slightly more reclined than normal. I took off the plastic cover and inspected the mechanism and none of...

Ok so I just had 31x10.5x15 tires installed on my explorer tonight. Previously I had the stock size general all terrain tires. They always rode a little harsh but didn't vibrate. Now I had the Kumho AT KL78's installed and as soon as I got on the highway the truck vibrated ALOT to the point...

First my truck ran 100% perfect and smooth while the weather was warmer. Now that it has been cold around here for about the last month it has been idling very rough and feels like a bad miss. It actually feels like it has a high lift cam in it when its cold. Once the truck warms up it runs...

Ok so I recently had a junkyard engine put in my 91X. The engine was from a 92 and was "low" mileage as all junkyard engines are. The engine runs twice as strong as my old engine ever did and is soo smooth. I love driving my truck now except for the fact that it goes through a quart of oil...

Ok guys today I picked up my 91 X from the repair shop. It was at the shop getting a junkyard motor installed. Everything seems to be running great except for a bad burning oil smell. I think he just got some fluid on the exhaust during the swap. However the engine int the truck doesn't look...

Ok I need some advice before noon tomorrow... I have a 91 X and its currently in the shop getting a new motor and clutch. I have all new clutch parts except for the slave cylinder. The mechanic has the engine out and inspected the slave and said its not leaking, but wanted to know if I wanted...

Hey guys, last night the headlight switch in my 91 starting acting up. Depending on how I played with it I could either get parking lights or headlights and no parking lights. I went out a bought a new switch and just put it in. What I noticed was that one of the terminals on the old switch...

For about a week now when I start my 91 it will miss and jerk going down the road until its warmed up. Even when its warmed up its not 100%. I put dry gas in the tank as a remedy, however im not too hopeful. The plugs and wires have about 15-20K miles on them. I have recently lost about a...

Hey guys I need you to try and confirm for me if my clutch is going out in my 91 X. A few months ago I developed a grind going into 4th gear. It didnt really bother me since this isn't my DD, so I just skipped that gear. Eventually this issue magically fixed itself and I had full use of all...

Hey guys I frequently view this site but hardly ever post. Well last winter did my rocker panels in on my 91 X. The drivers side was gone from the door down and the pass side looked like swiss cheese. I fought with myself all summer about either fixing it or ditching it and looking for...

Hey guys I have seen the mention of the Dana and Dorman part numbers for the freeze plugs to replace on the shift rails of the 5spd. However I have not found anywhere to buy them. No one local to me has them, so where do you guys buy them? Thanks Jeremy

A few months ago my steering stopped returning to center on its own and was very hard to steer. I replaced the steering box and this solved the problem until last night. Same problem again with the steering :mad: Why am I destroying steering box's? My dad said its because of my wheels. I...

Ok so a while ago I had to replace the steering box. This was not to bad, and was fairly cheap from the local junk yard. However after I was done I realized that my steering wheel is now "pointed" to the 1 or 2 olclock position. This doesn't really bother me but im looking to sell my X very...

Since we finally have some winter weather here in the North east Ive been running the ex in 4wd for two days straight and when I stop and get out it smells like something is burning. Kinda like if you were riding the breaks for a long time. Now since I got the ex three years ago non of the...

Ok I have a 91 X and I just repaced the MAFS and didn't put the piece back on that sorta covers the airbox and MAFS. My question is if this thing is really needed? Doesn't seem like it does anything to me and I noticed that many users with custom intakes don't have it anyway Thanks guys

A little while ago my X was pinging slightly and I thought I would possibly fix it by cleaning the MAF. I took the sensor out of the top and cleaned it and put it back in and it hasn't run right since. The CEL randomly comes on and it won't stay running when cold. I have to keep giving it gas...

So last night I bought the replacement bushing for my drivers side striker bolt. Took the bolt out and put the bushing on and put the bolt back in the door jam. However the door would no longer close. I forgot that there is adjustment in this so I forgot to mark where it was originally...

so in a quest to reduce my pinging under load and maybe get better MPG I took apart the MAFS tonight and cleaned it out. I put it back together and fired up and truck and it just died right away. It kept doing this so I had to keep it running by feathering the throttle. After about 5 min of...

Hello everyone... My 91 Sport has 79K miles on it and it rides extremely rough as im sure most do. This is not my daily driver so im not overly concerned about it but if possible I would like to make it less back breaking to driving on the highway and throught the trails. This truck has...

Ive got a 91 X sport with the 3.73 LSD axle. The other day I was doing my usual drive around in a stone parking lot to verify all the 4wd stuff is working ok and I noticed something. When making tight turns the inner front tire brakes traction which is normal but my inner rear tire does the...

Well my 91 X had some really bad peeling paint on the hood and roof so I decided to sand it down some and get some duplicolor paint to match. I sprayed on two coats of the base green color and then two coats of clear coat. I think it looks really good and matches well. My question is how can...

My 91 has 75K miles on it and a couple weeks ago I noticed the oil pressure guage has been reading lower than normal. Its still in the "normal" range, but lower than it has been. Its now hanging out around the "o" and "r" instead of the "a" and "l" like it did before. Im going to change the...
