    I read somewhere else that you can disconnect a wire underneath the car and it will only run 2wd? Has anyone heard of this?

    AC recharge

    I've got a 97 EXplorer sport 4x4 and the AC just went hot. I hear the compressor still cycling, but no cold air. Is it possible to get one of those R134 recharge kits from Wal Mart and just recharge it myself, or should i bring it to a dealership and have them charge me up the A$$ to fix it...

    Blend door vote

    Mechwolf - yeah, it works fine right now....i took it up to the snow on New Years and was able to adjust the temp as needed with no problems. You have to find someone to remove the refrigerant from the evaporator. (I had a friend of mine do it at his A/C shop) Like i said got a few cuts on my...

    Blend door vote

    my 97 sport has a bad blend door. When I bought it i i only checked the MAX AC to see if it blew cold. When I felt the cold air, I thought it worked ok, but i didn't check any other setting until a few days later when i needed just the vent to be on, that's when i found nothing but heat.....

    tranny? replaced or not?

    Thanks, I was just wondering as I have a 97 sport and it has 122K miles right now and I don't know if the tranny was ever rebuilt. The tranny seems to run ok, but when I come to a complete stop, I feel another small jerk, like something was still moving underneath. Anyone experience this before?
