What is the axle code on the door tag?

Fortunately I work form home so I don't have to deal with the idiots unless I want to. We got about 12". It's been many years since we got that much but I guess thee are 3 more snow events in the forecast. Glad a few of us got a camping and wheeling trip to Tahuya in last weekend before the...

In years past there were enough participants to have several groups running wide variety of trails

If you get back in March, you have almost 2 months before the run. It's in May (or was that a typo?)

Hello everybody! I mentioned the date to Rick a while back and he said none had been set yet so,,,,. This date works for one of the NW guys that has to put in his vacation a whole year in advance so that's what we picked. We will be leaving the Puget Sound area on the 11th arriving the...

Hmm, not sure I want to be the instigator for the whole forum o_O:crazy: but it is about time to get one started. I was hoping the Grand Pobah would do it?

I'm over 280,000 and a friend down the road a bit is close to 300,000 and we wheel ours hard, Cheers Go Seahawks!

Youre less than half way there (miles). Welcome to the forum.

How did i miss this??? Sorry to hear you defect to a Fiat. I will tell Travis (if he even remembers). We are going out to hunt some snow in bit. Cheerio guys. Would be nice to get together and chat. How about a New Years snow run off Hwy 2?

The launch pad isnt that bad. If you want more fluid add another cooler. I have 2 and the second has a fan. I didnt have any issues with fluid starvation, not even when flopped on Hells Gate <<

Setting up gears is not for the faint of heart. To do it right takes a fair amount of skill but, that's cheap for a set of gears. You will still need to regear the front or only drive in 2wd

The rear axle would be and it would be an upgrade from drum brakes to disc brakes but would also require changing the brake master cylinder. The proportioning is a little different for the disc. The mirrors and some interior bits and pieces but not the front differential. The TTB in the 91-94...

Its doubtful those rims are really 10"wide. Make sure you measure correctly. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B0SLpz3Fs4c&ved=2ahUKEwiDg-yh1OTeAhVmIjQIHdKdB3gQwqsBMA16BAgJEAU&usg=AOvVaw0pzL4ejwyE_UTn-qr3vy0r I'm pretty sure you can go to an 11"...

Amazon $6.70 free shipping https://www.amazon.com/Ford-C1DZ-17271-A-GEAR-DRIVEN/dp/B000O0R2UC I hear ya on costs that's why I said, 'if you can afford it'. You were talking about replacing the wheels and tires. An auxiliary trans cooler won't really cost much. you don't need anything fancy.

That picture looks correct but as Greg says (gmpaint). It could be a generic picture. BW1354 Speedo Gear - Black 19 Teeth [U315997P-19] - $15.99 : , Cobra Transmission. The transfer case is a Borg Warner 1354 (BW1354) so it need to fit that not the transmission (AL4D)

Honestly, if you can afford it, regear to 4.56:1. Keep the 33" tires and lift. It will be a very enjoyable driver. Also make sure it has an auxilary trans fluid cooler. Consider adding a second one to keep the fluid cool and help the transmisaion live longer.

Here is what comes with that lift kit ;www.suspensionconnection.com/248504.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_OGUgrnf3gIVfh6tBh0NVwE6EAQYASABEgJbQ_D_BwE. Coils, shock absorbers, drop brackets for the front, additional leaf for rear springs. Longer U bolts and rear shocks I havent had auto hubs for a long...

Actually, one of those hubs looks like the internals have been removed (the clean one).

That is a Rough Country 4" suspension lift. The hubs are the OEM automatic hubs (think about replacing with manual) Ideally, the rear swaybar end links need to be longer. Otherwise, check the gearing, replace the speedometer gear to correct the speedometer reading and drive the heck out of it.

The open ended cylinder might be your ABS sensor. Pics will help us ixentify everything

If those really are 33" tires in the picture in the first post, it looks like at least 4". If you can post pictures of the suspension components we would be able to confirm.

Do you remember what engine RPM's you were running at that speed? It could have been re geared but not the speedometer cable gear. If you're running 33's with 3.27 gearing, driving would feel extremely under powered. The speedometer gear is very easy to change. Check this thread; How to: -...

That picture was the 3rd time on 2 wheels on that climb. I did need help getting back onto the rubber side. Continued to wheel the rest of the week, then drove 1100 miles home towing a small tent trailer. (Moab Utah) Explorers are an often overlooked but capable 4wd vehicle. When running...

What tires do you have on it now? If yore going to drive a slower speeds (25mph), drop the air pressure to 10psi. that will increase the tire contact patch and traction significantly. We run 9psi in 2ft-3ft of snow in the mountains around here

No 5.0L in 94. And 94 is OBD1. It will come with a book to tell what the codes mean but not what parts are at fault or how to fix (or where those parts are) so post up the codes (if there are any) and we will help identify and suggest repairs.

That looks lime the one i have. Should be good enough.

Check with Bandit Customs in Texas about wiring and connectors. They turn hohum explorers into custom optioned ones and both Kris and Russell are longtime members here.

For the wobble/shaking, start by checking the normal wear and tear items like steering linkage and ball joints, then report back for assistance in finding the 'HowTo' information. Enjoy your new hobby!

Long post, not sure if you figured out where the mirrors get their power. It is timed and off the same switch as the rear defrost.

You can usually find manual hubs at your local Pick n Pull for about $25 ea. I have a spare in the rig and 3 on the shelf

Consider yourself lucky to have enough power to spin the tire(s) :-) The items on you maintenance list should help. Good luck

If you aint learnin, check for a pulse. Sounds about right for rotational resistance. 35's make it critical to get the preload perfect. Good luck

'Decent amount of restistance', if more than the resistance of the grease, it's too much. Especially with 35"tires. I fear its still too tight.

Im on 33's but 3.75" backspace with 10" wide rims

The washer key and spindle key-way should stop that from happening. I have also seen here on the forum where someone welded on a little more metal to the key and cleaned it up with a dremel so it had a good tight fit in the spindle key-way. These are the things I pay attention to when I...

Good question Jon. I have seen here on the forum where someone filed groves in the threads of the bearing nut to accept the auto-hub 'key' that also slides into the spindle key-way. I have and autohub key but haven't needed to try it yet.

The inner nut has a pin on it, next is a keyed washer with indexing holes for the pin. That 'should' lock the inner nut in position. then install the lock nut.

I still crank down the lock nut to 250ft/lbs. No issues with them backing off. You must be cursed.

That is WAY more than I run. I seat the bearings with the wrench, back off completely, tighten (loosley) by hand and back that off a little too. When you (at lease me) torque down the lock nut you double or triple the torque value of the bearing nut due to the play in the threads. I've only...

How many in/lbs are you torquing the bearing nut to??
