no spark could also be a problem. ignition control modules are known to be tempermental with weather and temperature.

i was skimming through some of the posts looking for anyone who has wired their fog lights to stay on when the high beams are switched on. a friend of mine has done it on his subaru but since Fuji Heavy Ind. didnt make my Ford Explorer he doesnt have spare time to help me with it. If anyone...

aeaglenfitch.. did you mount your hella's to the brackets that extend off the core support that the header panel mounts to? and if so what did you do about your tranny cooler, relocate? just wondering. bc i dont feel like spending money on a light bar.

"black eagle"? prbly an aftermarket keyless entry system or a generic key fob. if your explorer has a keyless entry keypad on the drivers door and/or the anti theft system you should be able to have it programmed to accept a ford factory key fob. i lucked out and scored 2 with an entire...

eh, it was worth a shot. i always miss relevant stuff when i skim through pages. i still am curious to know what the torque split is between the front and rear differentials. maybe the brown wire mod just wasnt meant to be for me, if i wasnt all wheel drive i prbly wouldnt have a chance...

my pass side link nut snapped off and i drove at least 30 miles of interstate with the link draggin the ground. didnt notice it till i got to work where we had a poly bushing sway bar end link kit in stock.. maybe $16. grabbed a jack and had the new one on in bout 20 mins. i say 20 bc i tried...

that last time i fooled around with resistors was trying to bypass the VATS security system on a camaro. we got a 500 pack from radio shack for 2.99

every 4.0 i had was real bad on detonation under a heavy ignition load.. may be your problem. pull the plugs and take a look, ive had good luck running autolite platinums. make sure you put a good set of wires on too, no sense doin the work if you dont put on quality parts. just some ideas.

with my 93 I have a Camaro, a newer wrangler out of a water hole so big it might as well have been a swimming pool.. it blew up too, but what amazed me the most was pulling my dads 3/4 ton dodge out of our yard after a freak ice storm with intermittent 4wd capabilities, i say intermittent bc the...

do the hydraulic lines not use the same kind of push spring lock as the slave cylinder? ive never messed with the master cylinder side of it though.

im still amazed at how ford can call a 2 inch extended oil filter housing an 'oil cooler' and i know i know it runs underneath the water pump but i dont see how it helps out all that much. is it possible his leak is coming from the timing cover itself? or a crank or cam seal within the timing...

I came across a couple threads on the brown wire mod and started searching and noticed the vehicles capable of this modification were 97 and up 4wd guys. I saw the term 'auto 4wd' thrown around and wondered if this mod was possible for my 5.0 AWD. If this is possible i know what im doing on my...

you know i went though an idler pulley, tensioner assembly, belt, and even a fan clutch looking for that noise. now i realize that for another $300 i can get rid of it. sweet. lol

yeah im pretty sure you dont have an engine oil cooler. yes the filter mounts below the water pump but besides the PS cooler and the tranny cooler 5.0 ex's do not have a factory engine oil cooler. that was a GM innovation that remains a pain in the neck.

i was familiar with the KEOR test doing a cylinder recognition test but didnt know it involved a cylinder balancing test. oh well.

maybe its just me but i noticed that when i was cuttin the wheels really hard with the auto hubs the front end made a noise and seamed bound up.. or it could of been that my auto hubs were fallin apart. i dont know.

I've always wanted a set of polished mustang GT 17x9s for my explorer and found a set realtively cheap. my only concerns are the backspacing and turning radius effects.. and tire selection, Id like to keep a nice all season or all terrain tire.

ive never taken the door panels off.. i was wondering how the module fit in there.. is there more than adequate room for the jumble of wires?

Ive come across some fords that had issues with the electrical plug in for the sending unit. i know its a hassle but you may want to drop the tank and inspect the connection going into the sending unit. most of the time the culprit is corrosion on the terminal ends and in some cases the...

i wasnt offering a manual hub swap as a quick fix to any problem, its just been my experience with auto hubs that the manual hub is an all around better way to go if you plan on using your 4 wheel drive system frequently, and yes the ease of care required with the manual hubs is a plus. I have...

I've been having good luck with autolite platinums.. and theyre cheaper than the factory motorcraft which is made by autolite (or so ive been told). reader? balance test? I tried pulling a code but to no luck. my friend matt said if i would of used ac delco plugs none of this would have...

my 91 made god aweful noises all the time, even when i wasnt in 4wd. if i turned the wheel all the way to one side the auto hubs tried to engage. get rid of those, warn manuals are the way to go (if you have $200 laying around)

i was driving to work on the interstate climbing a hill and heard a pop and lost power.. the truck actually shut off, i had to put in in nuetral and restart it while on the interstate. pull in to work the motor is shakin and gas is dripping out of the tail pipe. the plugs and wires were both...

The 4.0L in my 93 Sport has been out of action for a while, i havnt bothered with it bc ive been driving my 97 5.0L around. On my 1 day off this week i decided to fool around with the 4.0L. It starts fine, runs barely, acts like its running on 3 cylinders.. so i pulled the plugs. Bare with me...

I was thinking about droppin the back 2 cats but was a fraid of a CEL or O2 sensor problem, howd that work out for you guys? also saw some talk about plugging the egr. i was wondering about an egr delete, how to, consequences, that sort of thing. any feedback is appreciated.

I'm having the same annoying tick on my passenger side when im under accelleration.. heard from a couple people the manifolds are known to crack, but after reading the thread i'm hoping it just a blown gasket. stock manifolds on a 97.. are they stainless? or are they regular cast underneath...

A friend of mine who has a taste for mustangs is all about the 5.0L in my 97, even to the point of trying to get me to modify my one and only daily driver. We started talking about a cam, roller rockers, headers, full exhaust, double roller timing set.. these are all things I have thought of...

I got bored on my day off and ran over to AutoZone (cringe) and picked up a MAF adapter for about $12. Grabbed a 3 inch ID x 5in K&N cone filter at work and ripped the air box out of my 97 5.0. $50 and it only occupied 10 mins of my time but I was wondering if anyone has noticed any differencs...

the turn signal lenses and headlight lenses on navajos are different. you could convert the front end of your navajo to the explorer style but it would prbly be cheaper to try cleaning your lenses or buying some uses navajo ones.

I did some searching to no avail, any links to Mr. Robert or any pages with pics and specs? Thanks for the help.

Apparently its common for the passenger side header on a 5.0L to crack? I dont know about that but I do know that the noise and problems its creating is killing me. I cant find anything used that is decent for the cost, and a stock replacement is close to $200. I saw a pair of ford performance...

I've been hearing mixed thoughts on the Goodyear Wranglers. My mom hated them on her 06 Jeep, so much so that at under 10K she got rid of them and I took em. I'm not gonna pass up a free set of 30x9.50 tires, even if they are crappy. I'll need somethin this summer when I take the BFG's off.

i was dumb and locked my wheels in one direction and turned the truck off. i went to straighten them up and low and behold i couldnt turn the tumbler over. being dumb i tried to force it and broke the rod that comes out of the end of the tumbler to lock the steering column. ford garage wants...

been tryin to get my sisters bronco II back runnin after it shut off on her, seems to be a fuel problem. figured id check the pump relay before i remove the tank shield and drop the tank. trouble is i cant seem to find the relay. i found and checked the maxi fuse in the PD box but cant locate...

wires arent crossed. i started noticing a miss when id hit a hill or put any type of load on the ignition so i changed the plugs and wires. platinum plugs and decent wires. it ran fine for about a week then started doing the same thing, only worse. its in time, i checked over most of the...

the easiest way to replace the radius arm bushing is to remove the cross memeber that is riveted in. if you see bolts and nuts holding the cross member to the frame theyve likely been replaced.

my 4.0 is down. keeps burning the last 2 plugs on the pass side and gas is dripping out of my tail pipe. so much so that its burning in my exhaust and turning the manifolds back into a red light show. no power, no idle, sounds like a boat motor thrown under water. i was thinkin stuck valves...

when i first started thinking what could be the cause the torque converter immediately came to mind. the 'revving' problem only seems to occur between 3rd and 4th. as far as the fluid goes, it looks fine, never been low, never smelled burnt, still has a pinkish tint. to answer your other ?s...

few weeks ago somethin funny happened on my way home from work.. i was in drive goin up a steep hill (WV, go figure) on the interstate and my truck seemed to shift kinda funny, not slip but rev a little more than normal in gear. I didnt think anything of it at the time until this past week when...

i planned on doin that today, but its raining and i forget how to do the little wire trick to get the light to blink again. so ill hafta wait. thanks though
