do you know if anyone has done this mod before?

I posted a similar question before, asking about the interchangeability of the 2wd tranny to the 4wd tranny, everyone said the transmissions are exactly the same, except they have different tailshafts, which are also interchangeable (which is what I was told). I was told if I were to swap the...

so it seems like transmission work is now on top of my to-do list for my 93 exploder 4X4. im going to be swapping transmissions from my parts truck.... what I was thinking about was taking out the transmission fluid cooler from the parts truck and installing it next to and connecting it to the...

what do you mean? are you saying the 4X4 tailshaft is ruined if the trans went bad? I posted a similar question before, asking about the interchangeability of the 2wd tranny to the 4wd tranny, everyone said the transmissions are exactly the same, except they have different tailshafts, which are...

im pretty sure its not good, from what I have read about the a4ld..... what happened was, I was about 10 or 15 miles from the house. all of a sudden, it didn't have any get up and go, as in it didn't want to shift properly. so I stopped at a gas station, since it needed gas. then I noticed a...

ok so my transmission burned up on my 4X4 yesterday. literally, i believe it blew a leak and overheated and burned up as you could follow the smoke trail that clouded behind me. started with a funny smell and then it didnt want to shift. anyway the trans is shot, but its not the end of the...

not when i checked. either way that problem is solved

those bushings cost $18 per set of 3 around here.... so.....

indeed. we will see. after a couple major weather changes, I will post an update on how well they are functioning. ive used the windows many times since the repair, and no issues yet... flawless operation. next up on the agenda is getting the A/C fixed

Window motor bushings replacement- CHEAP SOLUTION! also: motor runs, bushings intact- window still not rolling up? SOLUTION! there are plenty of threads and youtube vids about how to remove your door panels and pull out window motors, and how to take apart the motors to replace the bushings...

he drives it almost 100 miles a day going to and from work everyday.... he says that once it gets up to 40 mph or faster (or on the highway) it seems to act normal. ....so for this repair, is it something a dumbass like me can do myself, or will it need to go into the shop? any idea what...

exactly what does that mean in idiot terms? i dont know what a sprag is.... does that mean the transmission is junk? -or is it an easy fix? something I can do myself- or must it go into the shop?

he says it don't really want to engage in Reverse..... he says the "OD off" light flashes, but not all the time.... it does not stay lit up all the time..... just flashes. I don't know what kind of transmission it has in it.... but it has a V6 engine

exactly what does that mean in idiot terms? i dont know what a sprag is.... does that mean the transmission is junk? -or is it an easy fix? something I can do myself- or must it go into the shop?

I couldnt find any threads that mention these problems, so here goes a shot to get this problem resolved... this is about my father in law's pickup. a 2003 ford ranger- it has a V6 engine, and automatic transmission...... he says the "OD off" light comes on. and also, it wont move forward when...

SOLVED!!!! after getting underneath it and taking a good look at the wiring harness connector behind the rear bumper, it was pretty dirty inside and out. I took it apart, and noticed one of the male prongs was burned and black looking, and the female end where that one connected to- was...

I just went and checked- when the amber running lights are on, the stop lights do not work.... and the running lights seems to flash dimly- and sporadically

'03 ranger: tail lamps not working when headlights are on... SOLVED!!! 2003 ford ranger, tail lights issue. my father in law just bought this truck a week ago and a problem has occured since purchase. he has no choice but to drive when it is dark because he leaves for work when it is dark...

i am no expert..... but for the surging- my truck was doing that too, but only when the engine was cold. I cleaned the butterfly throttle choke thingie, and the MAF sensor... and it doesn't do that anymore... for the dieseling thing... maybe a vacuum line issue, maybe a sensor or something?

ive done some reading around here on the A4LD transmission... a handful of guys are saying that if it comes down to having to rebuild that transmission- that the regular rebuild parts kits contain parts that are even crappier and more faulty than the original parts that ford made them with in...

I thought the thing that opened and closed to let air in was called a choke... but I guess I was wrong! every time I get on here I learn something new- usually from you!! LOL

im no expert... but... perhaps a vacuum leak?

I once had this problem with a car. it wasn't an explorer, or even a ford. but it turned out that a relay went bad, in addition to a couple of fuses. when it comes to fuses, it would be a good idea to get a fuse tester. they are cheap. sometimes a fuse will appear to be functional, when its...

after much research... I found it! im sure someone will find this info useful! 1993-1996 4WABS trouble codes WITH troubleshooting guide! Codes: 11 Possible Source(s): -Anti-lock brake electronic control module failure. Action(s) to take: -REPLACE anti-lock brake electronic control...

problem solved (i think...) I saw in another thread about cleaning the MAF sensor. so when I went to walmart I found a little can MAF cleaner bundled with a little can of throttle choke cleaner. the MAF looked clean to the naked eye, but I cleaned it according to the directions on the can-...

current vehicle: 1993 explorer 4X4 parts truck: 1992 explorer 2WD ok, so I don't know anything about 4X4 (or any car, really). I want to know about the compatibility of things on the 2 wheel drive parts truck that will also work on the 4 wheel drive truck, primarily the front end parts. i...

the ABS light has been coming on and off at random times. so we just pulled the codes for the 4WABS on my '93... pulled the codes 3 times to make sure I read them correctly.... this is what we got... 11- ECU failure (what/ where is the ECU?) 31- front left sensor electrical failure 33- Rear...

I would like to know exactly what kind of fluid goes into the differential... I searched it on autozone website, and it took me to "gear oils".... if that's the right stuff, how much does it hold, and whats the proper weight to put in it? ....my ABS light comes on and I read somewhere that if...

hey- I aint no mechanic- you wouldn't want me working on it LOL! I joined this forum so I could learn how to work on this truck. im too broke to hire someone- and besides that im sick of paying somebody else the big bucks for doing something I can potentially do myself.... im here to learn...

i wouldn't pay too much attention to what KBB says its worth.... I paid $2,500 for mine, and it has minor issues (I think... and I hope). KBB says it would be worth $2,250 if it were in top notch like new condition. and I knew this before I bought it. these truck have a following, and some...

i havent been able to find any threads about how to rebuild/recondition these window motors. am I looking in the right areas? also- are the window motors the same as the motors for the electric seats, and the rear wiper? I know how to remove and replace the window motors. that's easy. but a...

instead of searching salvage yards- look on craigslist. theres lots of wrecked/non running cars on there. you could find a wrecked one (or one with no title) cheap- and use it for a parts car. or find another good running explorer that is compatible with the one you have, and keep your dead one...

before starting which job? ive changed spark plugs in these trucks many times... for that one youre talking about- before starting, I turn the wheels all the way to the left... and when its time to change that one plug I go in from underneath the truck. theres a little hole there big enough...

i was going to upload the pix to facebook.... could I just post the link to the FB photo album here?... or would this site block the link automatically? I really hate joining new sites... I joined this one out of necessity. and by far its the best non-social media site ive ever stumbled upon...

when the wheel bearings go bad, isn't that what makes a jungle bell rattling sound when you hit bumps and potholes? theres no rattling or noise at all. very smooth and quiet ride

it stops on a dime. theres no screeching. no rattling... smooth and quiet and rides like its on a cloud. im pretty sure its got good brakes, but when I get a chance to take it somewhere to have the codes read, ill take a look at the brakes- among other things
