I finally got my truck to pass NJ inspection but I have developed a loud clunk from the drive train. I can actually hear two clunks. First from the back, then towards the front. At the same time I have a really bad vibration that I was originally blaming on needing the tires balanced. I also have no headlights and a locked back door.
My EX is a 2WD 1994 Ford Explorer with 317K miles on it. A special thanks to all those who have helped me keep my EX on the road over the years! Especially some who are no longer with us. :Heaven:
Has anybody else had these problems?
What should I do?
The loud clunk when accelerating or decelerating: Replace U Joints? This I assume may also cure the vibration I am feeling.
No Low Beams: Replace the light switch and/or the multi-switch. Or just wire a relay off the Parking lights.
Locked door: Take it apart and put it back together again. Try to manually disengage it.
Your input is appreciated! I am considering paying to replace the U Joints and been checking on pricing of installation and parts.
How much will I save by doing it myself and is it worth the effort?
Thanks again for your help and advice!
