to make a long story short.. i noticed my cruise was actin kinda funny last night, and my abs light was on.. then started flashing when id use my brakes. if memory serves me right the front abs sensors are just speed sensors on the axles? could this be causing both problems? any feedback...

has anyone attempted, succeeded or heard about swapping a 5.0 into a first gen explorer? if so id like to hear/read about it. its been an ongoing thought in my head for when/if my 4.0 decides to lay down. thanks. oh, i raided another u pull it, someone buy my first gen rear defrost and fog...

91 - 94 explorers all had the cross member that the radius arm bushings bolt to held in with rivots. most people use an air hammer or drill and remove ther rivots when replacing the RA bushings and replace them with nuts and bolts. i used 7/16" hardened bolts when i did mine.

ok, so i was changin my oil today and poking and prodding around in the engine compartment. i always thought my explorer was one of the lucky 93's w/out an EGR system. i was lookin at my pvc pcv i can never remember the right way it goes, but anyway on the top plenum, drivers side, theres a...

for a while i heard a noise in my front end on the drivers side, assuming it was the auto hub. well i made a very sharp left turn in 4wd a couple months ago in the snow and the noise got worse. went to a mechanic i know and sure enough the wheel bearings on the driver side were pretty bad. so...

cant see any sign of dripping and i even replaced the hose that runs from below the radiator cap to the bottom of the resevoir

cant see any sign of dripping

i dont beleive so.. but im pretty sure the motorcraft ones are. I forget which subsidiary companies are under Wix.

napa sucks, its a privately owned franchise, meaning that each store is run differently, according to how the owner of the specific store wants to. luckily i havnt had to buy any major parts for my explorer cept the usual brake pads, shoes, and hardware, oh, and the first ever alternator...

ford has a way of making every maroon look purple/pink from certain angles. a friend of mine saw my factory electric current red explorer at night and swears to this day its hot pink. my xlt i had was that weird color change red, my moms 97 is the green color change lookin color. what...

hey guys.. just a quick question for some of you guys that might of had this problem. I'm losing antifreeze. I cant see a sign of it anywhere, not in the oil, not around the intake gasket (had that problem on my 91, gasket blew out on the driver side), im not smellin it out of the exhaut, and...

i havnt changed the thermostat in my sport since ive had the truck. the guage never reads above N or O except when i first start in the morning, itll heat up to the M and go right back down. this is tellin me i might need to change it, but my heater works too good. heater is HOT in 5 mins...

thats almost as funny as the old fashioned black tape over the check engine light. you wont beleive how many dash panels i find with black tape covering up random warning lights

its spelled retarded*

ive been hearing the dreaded WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP noise in my front end.. sounds like the wheel bearings on the drivers side. but then i got to think, the past few months ive been hearing a click in my driver side automatic hub when id be in 4wd or making a tight turn, recently the driver side...

lol.. that an acceptable maybe

i just wish someone with no lift and 31s could give me an answer..

eh.. im not gonna spend the money if no one can assure me they will fit w/out rubbing. they would look GREAT though.. ill prbly just go with 30x9.50s since they are like .34 inch larger than stock

ok, ive read in the tire and wheels forum, asked 502934039 people, and i always get a 50/50 answer. can i run 31x10.50s on a STOCK 93 sport with NO lift WITHOUT any rubbing? any answer is appreciated

my 91 XLT had the single cup holder middle console, my 93 has the dual cup holder and 4 wheel abs. your information is strewn.

price**

i called the local skyjacker dist. for a pice on the 2 inch ext. coil and add-a-leaf kit.. $209, pfft.. screw that. what was funny though is the guy said "you know you wont be able to align that thing after you put this on there" and my reply was simply "buddy, i hit a pot hole and i need an...

im alreayd planning on getting a set of rear leafs off of a 4 door for my sport, realizing the 4 doors have 1 more leaf... i am planning on 31x10.50s on my sport and want it to look tough with the bigger tires.. is the add a leaf/extended coil set up from skyjacker a good way to get a little...

my hubs always bang when i engage while moving. Shift on the Fly.. ha, i always stop when i engage, then just let out on the gas and let everything engage smoothly. youll save your auto hubs by takin the extra 30 secs to stop and engage.

just be glad you guys dont own a gm digital dash cluster.. oh man, you wanna talk about a headache. my dad hits a pebble on the road and his spedo goes out, along with the turn signal indicators.. must be the same circuit, then if he hits another pebble or pothole (very common here in wv) it...

could it be someone replaced the door locks with an aftermarket lock and didnt give up the keys to the dealer? or did ya already fix the problem?

is the fan kicking in fine? if so, then its prbly the vaccum actuator or the heater core itself.

might be a vaccum canister or some kind of valve

easiest thing to do is try to find a wrecked/totaled 5.0 explorer and snag the harness and other parts you may need, such as mounts and the crossmember, might make things a little easier

notice how explorer sports turned into rangers with a permanent bed cap.. kinda reminiscent of bronco IIs

yeah, thanks bronco

yeah.. seems like a loose connection or a bad ground somewhere

the arm is splined inside.. there is a tab on the bottom of the ball of the arm, pull it and pry the arm off of the splined knob is sits on and raise it up a few splines.

the serpentine belt is on the front of the motor, snakes around all your pulleys, hence the name SERPENTine belt. There is a tensioner that holds it tight. all you need to change the belt is a ratchet, socket, and 15 mins spare time. oh, follow the belt diagram

$97 for a belt and labor? you can buy a good belt for $30 and install it yourself, dont get ripped off on minor repairs you can do yourself. just a word of advice

i get about 16.. not too shabby for a 93 OHV with 115,000 miles and only 1 rust spot, thats right, i said only 1.. i should win all ford nationals with that lol

just so you guys know.. now is the time to get your silverstars.. had my 9004s for over a year, still bright as hell.. advance auto has the buy 1 get 1 half off deal goin on, plus a 5 dollar mail in rebate.. sounded so good i picked up a set of silverstar h3s for my hellas.. i forget i even have...

i did some searchin on the site.. and got some answers, but i was just wondering if anyone in here has 31x10.50s on a 1st gen sport, any rubbing or anything?
