    Looking for an Explorer as a new daily

    4th Gens seem to be reliable Explorers. They fixed issues with the 3rd gen. This thread may give you some ideas about lifts and tires. https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/threads/show-off-your-lifted-3rd-4th-gens.314892/

    Las Vegas Noob

    Welcome to the forum. I hope you share your build here. It's always good to see another 1st Gen modified for offroad.

    Roll cage

    Nice find. That looks like a great cage and the price is reasonable for what you get.

    Ethanol build

    Zero deck the block, milling the heads, and thinner head gaskets may get you there or close. Next and costlier step is custom pistons.

    Side to side "windy" swaying coming from the rear on high speeds

    No mention of the condition of your shock absorbers. That could definitely be part of the issue. I would also check control arm bushings in the rear suspension.

    Right camshaft

    Were you looking at an aftermarket cam, or a stock cam?

    Daughter Doesn't Know it Yet......

    Underside of 2003 Dodge Ram. I moved to AZ from the rust belt 40 years ago and I still can't get over rust free vehicles. I love it when I see an old pickup from the '40s or '50s still being used as a work vehicle.

    Repair or retire it?

    Our emissions testing facility keeps new gas caps on hand because they are such a common source of failure.

    Repair or retire it?

    I wish I could help with the Evap system problem. Such a nice looking Sport. I would hate to see it go away.

    2024 ST: I think I'm gonna go for it

    No big changes, but who knows what "tweaks" they may have made to software.

    2024 ST: I think I'm gonna go for it

    I would look for the latest build '24 you can find. That's what I did with our '20 ST and I couldn't be happier with it's reliability. Ours was built in September of '20. It may be too early to have all the bugs worked out from changes to the '24 model year.:dunno:

    2014 Explorer A/C at idle not working.

    I don't think the 2001 has an electric fan. If it does it should come on with the A/C. If it has a standard engine driven fan the fan clutch may not be "grabbing" as the engine temperature rises which would make it less efficient at pulling air through the condenser. Another thought is that...

    Turn Signal Switch Swap.

    Interesting. I would definitely like to see the results of your experiment when you're done.

    Transmission troubles.. Convert 4x4 trans and transfercase in a 4.0?

    I don't see why not. You would need the driveshaft from the donor vehicle as well as the length will be different. Might as well take the front shaft as well if you plan on doing a full conversion at some point.

    transmission woes

    I have been looking at old posts about this. There are many threads, not so many answers. Here is something you could look at: "The fuse was blowing because the overdrive button wire in the shift lever was rubbing on the steering column where it exited the shift lever. Taped it up good works...

    Underbody cover rattle

    That looks like some kind of alien technology. LOL

    Completed Project Kirby's 1991 Ranger Build Up

    Are they ever really "completed"? LOL This one looked close enough for me. :D

    I believe I spotted a new Timberline - Pics

    I agree that the most powerful engine should be in the off-road oriented Explorer.

    I believe I spotted a new Timberline - Pics

    Or they were testing a Chinese Explorer at the proving grounds, and not a US version. :dunno:
