    How many configurations of fuel pumps for 96 Explorer??

    OK, looks like I ordered the wrong pump(who knew there was a Mexican version, and its different from the US/Can). Warning to future mechanics, the 96 4wd 4door fuel pump is a rare bird, be careful ordering parts.

    How many configurations of fuel pumps for 96 Explorer??

    Hello, I've got a bit of a problem here, I had my fuel pump die last week. I looked at Autozones website and then at Rockauto, and realized I could by a Bosch from Rockauto cheaper than the Airtex from AZ. So I selected the Bosch from RA, after paying for expedited shipping(and still waiting a...

    Fuel Filter Fun!!!

    I dropped the tank on my 96 last week to change the fuel filter. The only place I ever got stuck was when I encountered the "quick" disconnects on the fuel lines. Prior to this all the vehicles I've worked on had external clamps, so it took craning my neck and using a flashlight to look and see...

    96 XLT-Front driveshaft turns in 2WD:Normal?? Or bad T-case??

    I decided to drain the remaining fluid, and refill with fresh until I can take some more permanent action on this T-case. While watching the fluid drain, I noticed I could see some bits of copper colored metal in the drain hole. After I fished them out, I stuck my finger further into the hole...

    96 XLT-Front driveshaft turns in 2WD:Normal?? Or bad T-case??

    OK, so I got a fluid sample out of the T-case, I was only going to take a small amount, but nearly as soon as it started flowing it slowed to nearly a drip. I got about 1 pint, and the manual says it should hold @ 1.5 Quarts(3 pints). The fluid is supposed to be red tranny fluid, but this...

    96 XLT-Front driveshaft turns in 2WD:Normal?? Or bad T-case??

    Yep, its a vacuum disconnect, and its working great! All of the other 4wd from my past and present are old fashioned with the manual hubs, and floor shifter, this vacuum disconnect is wicked weird! My wife was out of town with the rig the last couple days, and I have to work today, but I'm...

    96 XLT-Front driveshaft turns in 2WD:Normal?? Or bad T-case??

    Thanks for posting! By my figuring, if I'm right about the T-case being stuck in 4wd(no matter the position of the selector), the only reason I have 2wd at all is because the vacuum disconnect is very much working. Remember where I said that the wheels free-spin when selector is in 2wd, but spin...

    96 XLT-Front driveshaft turns in 2WD:Normal?? Or bad T-case??

    Gosh, seems like a easy question, but searches all over this site and the web have yielded no solid answer. Guess I'll look into buying a OEM shop manual, and see if the answer might be there.

    96 XLT-Front driveshaft turns in 2WD:Normal?? Or bad T-case??

    First of all, thank you to those who created this site, and to all who enrich it with information! I bought a 96 XLT(with 5spd manual) about a week ago, great shape overall, but the price was more than fair since the 4WD has issues. I've spent hours of free time pouring over this website in...
