  1. could anyone point me in the right direction to replace my thermostat? (my engine gauge is always on C, and the explorer is always extremely hot)
  2. My oil gauge never moves, ever.. i almost took it to empty last week when i remembered to actually check the engine
  3. Also, my driver side winshield whiper has stopped working, is the motor easy to replace?

thanks guys! :D
 






The linkage between your wipers must be broken or let go. The one wiper moter drives both wipers so if one wiper is moving normally, your motor is fine. A few screws will take off the cowl vent, you should be able to see the linkage there.
 






Thermostat is an easy fix. Three bolts and the housing is off. Make sure you get a new ORING gasket with the new Tstat. Regarding the oil pressure guage... try smacking the top of the dash above the gauge. Sometimes mine sticks and that fixes it.
