    Mystery Hose

    Thanks for the diagram. I found where the inlet tube is connected to the air cleaner, but where and how do I get to the connection at the other end? Thanks...

    Mystery Hose

    Hello Everyone, While "exploring" the underside of my '92 XLT engine, I came across this hose: Can someone tell me what it is and how/where to connect it? This is how it was positioned when I first discovered it: I traced it to I believe the bottom of the air cleaner unit, underneath...

    Catalytic Converter Repair?

    Well, I haven't found the time to take it to a welder, so I'm still wondering if I could use JB Weld to hold it together temporarily, especially if I clean off the rust. Any suggestions? What's a good de-rusting solution? Is CLR ok to use? How safe will it be to use a JB Weld-type...

    Oil Pan Leak

    Pan gasket? Main seal? Torque on pan bolts? ok... now I'm concerned LOL Just like Tribestros said, it looks like it seeps from a seam at the bottom, then a pool is formed inside the groove, until finally a drop falls from the passenger side of the pan. I thought the smoke was coming...

    Oil Pan Leak

    ok... Because I'll have to sand and clean, it sounds like I'll have to take off the oil pan. Is there any way to do this without having take out the engine and turning it over?

    Catalytic Converter Repair?

    Just $20? I've been thinking welding jobs would cost a lot more and never bothered to call around. Which raises another question. Considering the cost of a direct fit cat, is it possible instead to get a single universal cat (like a Magnaflow) and have it welded to my exhaust? Just...

    Hi everyone, First, Thanks to everyone on this forum. I haven't found so much helpful information anywhere else on the net. Well, as mentioned in a previous post, this is the next issue I'm facing with my XLT. The rear catalytic converter has separated from the exhaust pipe, and now...

    Oil Pan Leak

    P.S. as far as the power steering fluid, I'm going to first try the Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak, and hope there's nothing wrong with the pump...

    Oil Pan Leak

    Hi all, This is the first of a few posts regarding my 92 XLT. I've had it for a little over a month now, and while the "honeymoon" period is still going, I've encountered a few issues. I must have hit a bump a little too hard one day, because now I'm starting to leak both oil and power...

    Hello

    Pictures Sorry I took so long to post, but I had to REALLY clean up the vehicle before taking pictures of her. Just to give you background, I bought it from a guy who only used it to go hunting in. All he did was keep the motor and tranny in excellent condition and didn't care about the...

    Wierd Glass Issue

    Thanks everyone, I'll try your suggestions. Like I said before, it's no big deal, not worth spending the money for a new window. If the Goo Gone or lighter fluid won't work, I'll just learn to live with it :)

    Wierd Glass Issue

    Hello: Thanks to the many posts on this forum, I've been able to replace power window regulators and motors on two windows of my '92 Explorer. Here's the issue: The previous owner used an enormous amount of both duct tape and cellophane packing tape to keep one of the windows from...
