Hey forum! I recently developed a rod knock in my 4.0 91 Explorer motor and replaced it with a junkyard motor from a wrecked 4.0 94 Explorer. I kept the PCM from the 91 but used the wiring harness from the 94. After getting everything all hooked up I wasn't getting any fuel and realized that my...

I want to order some new mirrors for the X but the power mirrors w/ puddle lights are out of stock on 1a auto. Will the heated power mirrors w/ puddle lights work with my truck? I heard you just hook them up and they activate when you turn on the rear defroster. Is this true? Here are the...

I've search the site and don't find any info. Has anyone swapped the 2nd gen hood hinge with the hydraulic lifts into a first gen? I really want to get rid of the dumb hood hold open rod. The hinges are pretty close to the same but the new ones have four bolts instead of the two. I would...

Anyone interested in Swapping Black Base model door handles for Chrome? I've read some users are looking for the black sport look, and I'm interested in the Chrome look. I'm in Ohio and willing to ship all handles at once for convenience sake. I'm new to forum and hope this is appropriate...

Howdy, all! Haven't posted on here in a while, but I'm back. Now for a little late-night absurdity: what do y'all think about replacing the 4R70W auto trans in the 5.0 Explorer with the 5R55E from the 4.0? I'm considering it as a project for my next vehicle, and since I accumulate a lot of...

Hey guys! The other day I was wandering on craigslist and found a set of heated leather seats for $40 in great condition, and I want to put them in my car. Both front seats are powered, and I think the drivers is the only one heated from a 1995 Explorer. I have a 1998 xlt, and my drivers side is...

Hi, I am a newb to this site. I just bought an 03 Lincoln aviator with a blown motor. I was looking for help on swaping the motor. Since it shares ford dohc cobra motor. For the cost of another aviator engine it seems smarter to but a mustang cobra shortblock. So I was wondering if its possible...

So in the coming years I plan on putting a Cummins 4BT in my Ranger. Has anyone done this? Are there some things to look out for besides the obvious? I plan on keeping this truck til the day I die as it has a lot of sentimental value to me. So I'm purely doing this just to make it my own.

I've got a daughter that loves her music and the stock radio in my 2005 ST has no inputs, so ... First task was to find a head unit with Bluetooth, rear USB and AUX input. This way I can route the USB and AUX to the rear of my long console. (The one I didn't have.) After a bunch of searching...

Ok. This is NOT a how to. I will be working through this over the next 4 months and will be looking for advise/recommendations etc. During this time... I will be posting updates etc. Once completed, I will do a "how-to" write-up and include the link at the end of this "progress...

I have a 93 limited explorer with the power seat that stopped working, I found a 94 xlt at the junkyard and replaced my dented hatch with the hatch from that and took the seat and the seat base and have installed the xlt seat base in my limited. Now my question is does the wiring match up? I've...

My 4.0 timing chain went out on the back side so now I have to pull the engine. My dad has a g97 grand marquise with the 4.6 in it. Can you swap these two engines without much problems ? I have a 02 explorer and was not sure of the electronics and mounts. I think the tranny was the same for the...

Has anyone has taken the ttb out of a first generation and put it into a second generation. I'd like to possibly attempt it. Any info would be nice. Like first of all do the frame mounts work form the 1st to the 2nd generation. And I read that the 95 came with ttb. Is that true? Because if it is...

I have a 1995 Ford Exploder XLT. It has both passenger and driver power seats. I want to swap the cloth power seats I have for leather heated power seats from the junk yard. Are their any wires that i would have to splice or run for the heated option? Im not sure how to go about this, i looked...

Hello all, 1998 XLT 5.0L. 300K miles. Just starting to leak a little xmission fluid, burning about 1 quart of oil every 3-4 weeks. and the coolant is looking a little murky. SO I am thinking its time (or beyond) to rebuild the engine and transmission. So do I just remove and replace...

I have an 02 Mercury Mountaineer ( 4.0L ), and I started having trouble with wheel hop etc.. Eventually, after disconnecting the front drive shaft, I've have determined the issue to be the viscous coupler. Seems like a hard part to find, and expensive when I do find it. So, this provides with...
