I bought Energy Suspension bushings from EE $29-35. After reading the time and horrer stories about the rivets I knew it would take me 6 hours. I had the local alignment shop install $144 to $40 for alignment.

One of the teflon(?) pieces over the latch bar broke on mine. I replaced it with some hard rubber tubing but it will not last. Does anyone know what or where to get these pieces to replace them. Has anyone tried there own pieces for this, what was the material and how did it work?

I also have a 93 limited two tone green but I don't like the lighter color green. I have seen an all dark green limited - looked sharp

Can't tow a U-haul trailer becuase you might tip over on your bad tires = low value

Well, like most other people, I finally figured it out - it's the RA bushings. the passenger side is what is making the clunk, it's actually missing the inside rubber bushing and the ring is rattling when I drive. Just ordered Poly bushings from EE, but noticed they don't provide hardware -...

I had 30.5X10.5X15 and they rode nice. You should not have much problem unless you are off roading enough to cause rubbing, you might alos experience a little less turning radius but not enough that u can't u-turn on a street.

I also bought a used OEM Premium HU AM/FM/CASS back in 99? to replace a broken one. He had 2 I bought the $150 becuase it looked new, the other one was $100 or $115 but looked beat up. I also have the old unit somewhere. Just upgrade to an aftermarket unit and get newer features - like them...

I did not see any zerk fittings to lube anywhere on the front end. The sway bar bushings are looking old and dry - but not lube fittings, can I just slap some grease around them?

I checked the ball joints, there is very little/no play in the tires. The ball joints are not new but only 85K on truck and easy miles. I noticed when I jack the front end up, the cross link/steering bar can be rotated forward and back until it hits the front end axle/cross bars. The...

Next thing you know U-haul will stop renting to Explorers -DOH!

Fuel injection service, is this the same thing, it sounds like it. I had it done on my wifes car at jiffy lube recently, mostly to see if that was the hesitation problem. They attach a canister and inject or drip it in at the engine compartment. It looks like the same thing you buy at the...

Perfect timing as gas heads towards $3 Gal. Did I read somewhere that the vette gets good gas mileage by using the old GM trick of shutting down cylinders when not in hard driving use - ala old Cadillac, I believe one other newer GM vehicle is using it also.

Most items even hazardous waste can be shipped by air freight, commercial airlines have stricter limits. Say you have isopropyl alcohol, only 1 liter per package would be allowed on a commercial flight, but frieght could have several liters. It depends on what's in Seafoam by...

I just had mine fixed, the seals were bad, $300 for all seals and freon. The light glows red but it does get cool.

I have seen people on this BB do it, someone recently blue, I remember another one white. I like the idea and would like to do it also.

Do a search. I read that other models already have the wiring for the power to heat the mirrors - maybe you just need the mirrors then. Is it worth it, depends on where you live, here in sunny CA I hardly ever use mine, sometimes in winter when it's dewy I defrost the rear window and mirrors...

I know a guy who is working on this idea to market it to the auto manfacturers. He is going to use a small MB already like the type used in the car electronics anyway. His point is one could select what info they want to see RPM, mileage etc. Why does an automatic have a tachometer - who...

I have a 93, it leaks from the top of the front windshield above where the rearview mirror is located. I had it fixed once and it worked for about 3-4 years. Just wondering if others with 1ST gen have experienced the same problem

Use to do it in my head, but evidently my head aint keepin track like it use to. I also had a Franklin organizer for awhile that had the table, maybe I will copy that into Excel and go.

Does anyone use a software program that reminds and keeps track of car maintenece info?

My neighbor told me that they sold their 1ST gen Explorer becuase of this switch would keep tripping off and prevent from starting. Evidently after a couple of times to the shop and replacement they learned how to reset it but had to do this almost daily to start it. Anyone know what this is...

Well at least they were not towing a Uhaul

Recent C&D magazine rated the Nissan the best truck, the F150 was 3rd?, but only 1 point seperated 2-3-4 place. I owned the first year hardbody 1996, mechanically a sound truck. IF you buy a GM, don't think, get the extended warranty. Many people at my work bought GM trucks, we were owned...

Curious, if Uhaul has been hit with lawsuits and they can no longer insure themselves for this type of vehicle - how come Explorer owners car insurance has not doubled or dropped altogether, is this next?
