I found out that there was a problem with some part of the memory seat electronic system so it would not move. I found another limited from an earlier year tested and verified and everything worked. Then I swapped the tracks and installed them in my 99 sport. Everything works except the heated...

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport with no powered seats. The drivers seat needs to be replaced. I found a 2000 ford explorer 4 door limited in a junk yard with the same color interior. I want to replace the front seats in mine with the ones in the limited. Unfortunately the drives side limited...

The ford 4.0 OHV engine was used for quite a few years and between the first and 2nd gen explorers. You can actually swap the 1st gen upper aluminum intake manifold with a 2nd gen plastic intake manifold. There were a total of three intake manifolds that were used. An aluminum intake manifold...

AC Delete: AC Delete Big Brake Upgrade: 2001-2003 ford explorers had bigger brake rotors. You can swap the steering knuckles to allow later year bigger rotors Rear Sway Bar Upgrade: Aftermarket Rear Sway Bars in 2021: Hellwig vs. Addco Stainless Steel braided brake lines: Deerfield Precision...

I am back again and I have finished this project. The AC control panel blend door is controlled electronically and the heater only is mechanically controlled. Changing the whole HVAC case under the dash seems like a lot of work to go from an electronically controlled blend door to a mechanical...

So it seems like over the years the positions of the pulleys may have moved, swapped, or altered. Or possibly the belt routing a has been altered such as routing the belt on the inside of a pulley vs the outside. You go to various websites and will find that they suggest an explorer needs about...

Yah I was looking around on the forums and what I have found is that 95-97 GEM module wiring is different than 98-01. Somewhere in mid 2001 it changed again. I have already found diagrams for 95-97 and 2001 and later but I have not had any luck with finding the 98-01 diagrams.

I have a 1999 ford explorer sport 4WD 5 speed manual. When I scan using ForScan I get an error B1834 and I want to diagnose what this issue is. Based on the description of the error it appears that there is a specific wire coming out of the GEM module that is damaged somewhere. Does anyone know...

My explorer has 140,000 miles. Was a government vehicle most of it's life. So I bet it did a lot of idling and the milage on the engine is higher than it appears. I did not see much paint on it. Just caked in oil. It took a breaker bar to loosen it. I had more trouble with the bolts on the...

I have a 1999 ford explorer sport 4WD. Just did this job today myself. Mine had been leaking for a long time. The adapter was covered in oil. I replaced all three orings. My black oring was solid as a rock it broke apart when I took it out. My oil pressure needle appears to also be higher than...

I can confirm the original bolts in the catalytic converter are splined. They do not have threads so you can knock them out with a large hammer. I did so today

Thanks i will just hammer them out

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport with the 4.0 OHV engine. I had two of the studs that connect the catalytic converter to the y-pipe brake off. Are the studs screwed in or pressed into the catalytic converter? I need to know if I need to hammer or unscrew the studs.

I went to the junk yard yesterday and this is what I found. The HVAC control panels between the factory AC and non-factory AC do differ. The blend door on factory AC cars is controlled by an electronic motor. The rangers without AC control the blend door mechanically with a steel cable from the...

That thread has a lot of good information. I don't know a lot about how the Ford HVAC system works. I would be interested in the differences of how the two systems work. The difference in the wiring and vacuum lines. So I would know how to properly make everything work when the ac is removed

It took me quite a while of reading and digging to come up with this information. It appears that there is an AC delete option that does exist for the 2nd gen explorers. There are two AC delete boxes that came on ford rangers. Pre 1995 boxes and 1995-1997 boxes. It seems that all ford explorers...

Looking to do an AC delete on my 1999 ford explorer sport 4.0 OHV. I have done some research and answered some of my questions but not all of them at this point. I am not really looking for an AC delete pulley. I would rather get a shorter belt and reroute the belt if possible. That does seem to...

It looks like the transmission that blown had in his ranger was a 5R55E. I found some pictures of the mounting flange at the back of the transmission for the transfer case. It looks like its the same as the M50D. Are there any threads about the oil drain passage that IMP is referring to for the...

Thank you both for the information. The AWD transfer case from the Aerostar seems to be called a dana 28 transfer case. It splits the power 30% to the front wheels and 70% to the rear wheels. Its full time AWD similar to a Subaru. This transfer case also has some additional sensors on it to feed...

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0L OHV 4x4 with a M50D 5 speed manual transmission. Is there an AWD transfer case that will bolt to the M50D? From what I have read my explorer should have a 4WD BW4405 transfer case. It looks like the AWD transfer cases that could work are the BW4404 or the...
