    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    Very true. In fact, I may have already located something, not an Explorer but it is a Ford. Just need to wait for the seller to return from vacation....

    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    I wanted to follow up on this since I received some great/helpful feedback; I decided to pass on the Explorer. Three major reasons; first, the distinct possibility that the A4LD needed a complete rebuild and it was probably something I couldn't do, or partially do, myself. Second, inability to...

    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    Especially if you can damage the pump by being slightly crooked on install. I have no illusions regarding my capabilities. At this point, I'm happy to let someone else wrestle with it (or use the proper tools that I don't own).

    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    You have any idea what it would have cost had you done it all at the same time? I'm a little leery of pulling a slushbox because they're heavier than the manual. I can rest a manual on my chest but I'm not so sure if I could lift an A4LD into place.

    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    That's not far from where this Ex is. Having lived here since the early 90s, I'm leery of what I'm going to find. But, you never know.

    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    Good to hear that they're not that hard to do. I did put a BW1350 manual shift xfer case into my '96 Ex and that wasn't bad. I live outside of Chicago and of the pics I've seen, the '92 really doesn't look too bad with respect to rust. But, I haven't seen it in person, and you know how that...

    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    This is pretty much what I was thinking; offer $800 if it's not drivable. But, $3-4K for a tranny rebuild might be a bit of a deal breaker, esp. if the diff gears are 3.08 or 3.27. For that much money, I might consider a manual tranny swap. I'll have to see what the rest of the truck is like.

    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    Thanks! I really didn't think that 31s would be 'extra' load but I can see your point. I was really thinking a 1.5"-2" suspension lift would be nice (but not necessarily required) for the 31s. How do I check radius arm bushings? I'm going to assume that's part of the TTB. I've owned three...

    '92 Sport w/A4LD leak

    Thanks James. At this point, I'm wondering if the transmission might need a complete overhaul (which isn't cheap).

    '92 Sport w/A4LD leak

    Hi All, Mods: feel free to delete my post in the Stock 1991-94 Explorers forum since this is transmission related. I'm not new to this forum but haven't been here in quite some time. I'm looking at a 1992 Sport with the 4.0 and A4LD (153K miles). The owner tells me that engine runs but it...

    '92 Sport w/tranny leak

    Hi All, I'm not new to this forum but haven't been here in quite some time. I'm looking at a 1992 Sport with the 4.0 and A4LD (153K miles). The owner tells me that engine runs but it can't be driven due to a tranny leak. Now, I've been around cars for a long time and I've never come across a...

    For Sale FS: 1994 Explorer Sport

    No worries! I may have found something locally anyways. Glad to hear you might hang on to it.

    For Sale FS: 1994 Explorer Sport

    Damn, I wish you were closer to Chicago. I have a set of Ranger aluminum rims that would bolt right up (just need some new tires). Although, I am a little thrown by what else needs to be done to get the slush-box working.

    Modifying Ford Explorer Leaf Springs for Lift using F-150 Leaf Springs

    Hi Everyone, I very pleased to see that this post still "has legs". Occasionally, I'll get a PM from one of you asking for details. I would love to help but at this point I haven't owned that particular Explorer (or any Explorer for that matter) for six years. I simply don't recall much of...

    DRL (Daytime Running Lights)

    I always thought they were lame when the headlights were used. Now that LEDs are taking over, they're not so bad. I disabled the DRLs on my VW (you need to swap in a euro spec light switch). I find it kind of odd that DRLs would interfere with other functions.
