OK, that sequential application makes sense. As per your thread, I also tightened the IB and tried to reverse out of my drive, it vaguely worked but it felt like the brake was applied so I didn't want to burn something out and never tried going forward with the IB tight. Incidently the point...

Thanks AJ, I read your thread, it is very informative - this is exactly what I am experiencing. My X does have the heat shield - I had to mess with it when I checked the modulator from the access panel. Sounds like I will just cut the bolts of the cat and replace with stainless afterwards. Then...

I have a 92 explorer XLT with 128k miles. Well looked after, tranny fluid changed 18 mos ago. A while back the tranny lost 2nd gear. I cannot get to it at all, even by selecting 2nd. I am able to shift fom 1st to 3rd by getting up to 25mph and backing off the gas for 2 secs and then gently...

I drive with one foot only :cool: Thanks for all the feedback, I think I am fine, I just wanted to make sure. I will inspect the rear shoes this weekend. Thanks again to everyone who responded :thumbsup:

The wheels spin fine but the pads are definitely rubbing very slightly. I can separate them from the rotor with a screwdriver and the wheel spins more freely then. The slide pins definitely work, I took them apart twice and made sure they are properly installed and lubed with caliper grease. I...

I think so, I just was surprised to find them still getting pretty warm. The hubs work fine - they are still the autos that came with the car but rarely get used. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, they did get torqued properly to the specs (not just finger tight). But, I was concerned about the rotors getting blue from overheating and had no idea if this is normal or not. Last week after a short journey there was smoke coming out of the driver side rotor so I went ahead and...

OK, I followed the break diary thread and replaced the front rotors, pads, slide pins, calipers, grease seals, rubber hoses and bled the system (92 Explorer 4wd). The glide pins are installed correctly and properly lubricated, the anti rattle springs are also good. So I take it out for a 5...

Hi, apologies if this is a repeated ask. Since a week ago the transmission in my 92 XLT 4WD started acting weird. I have driven it about for a few days trying to pin down the symptoms. In general, in lower speeds the tranny wants to stay in 1st. Under normal accelleration, the revs will go...
