I am new to the board.
I was wondering if it would be worth while to have a rebuild kit made? I have a shop here locally that rebuilds electric motors of any type and may be able to either make brushes or pull a size off the shelf that would work. Also could have a machinest make the stop out of nylon, resin, or a metal of some type. New springs could be good also. I would be glad to research this if anyone has an old broken drive motor they could send me. I can use my own in the spring. I would now but it is snowing and I need it! LOL
I have to say, before I owned an Explorer I really did not have any interest in them at all. I needed a work vehicle, since I totaled my Jeep, and found a beautiful 93 with a standard trans and a 4.0 six engine at an auction and fell in love. It seems that Ford picked up where Jeep left off. My Explorer has fixed every gripe I ever had with my Jeep. I have had to put a few dollars in a new trans, lock out hubs, and a few other needed things, but I am completely sold. I love this truck. It is everything and more that I have ever wanted out of a truck. I love this body style. Sorry guys, I like the later years but, this one is for me. This next year, maybe 2, should be good for her. I plan to customize the interior and then have fun with the outside. I have already started ordering parts. Sorry, I could go on and on. Hope everyone will have a safe any happy new year.
