    Clunk front front when braking

    Thank you, but the '95 does not have radius arm bushings. I did replace them on my '92 several times.

    Clunk front front when braking

    Looking to see if anyone has or has corrected this issue. My '95 4WD Explorer has a noticable loud clunk when braking that comes from the front drivetrain. It does not seem to be only when braking. If I coast to a stop on an up hill grade it will make this clunk about when the truck has...

    LineX ing my rocker panels and fender flares, replace "dog leg" first? (pic)

    The rust on these panels starts from the inside and works to the outside. Just wondering if the '95 we built any differently in the rocker panel. I have seen '93 and '94's with molding covering rocker panels rust out also. Will a '95 do the same thing?

    is something loose in the front???

    I replaced the bushings myself. It takes some leverage to move the front axle far enough forward to move the radius arm bushing past the frame. The bushings cost about $15 each and the frame section if you need it is about $45 (if I remember correctly). Do check the frame out when changing...

    LineX ing my rocker panels and fender flares, replace "dog leg" first? (pic)

    Does anyone make this as a patch panel yet? This has been a very common problem and just about every one that is not hidden by body trim or step boards are rusted. I repaired (tried to) mine a few years ago but has already started to rust through. I believe Ford should at least make this as a...

    is something loose in the front???

    99% of the time it is the radius arm bushings. Do you notice it cluck when rolling slowly and applying and releasing the brakes? You may also need to replace the frame where the radius bushings and arm attach as it does wear over time. Take the nut, washer, and the back half of the bushing...

    Detonation

    The early engines did not have EGR. These engines will have a problem with detonation. Nothing can be done but run high test fuel.

    4.0 liter OHV lifter replacement

    When I had the heads off of my '92 with 108k I noticed that I had 3 pushrods with badly worn ends. The worn ends were at the rocker end side. Not that I noticed a ticking noise before taking the heads off, but this could have caused it. Also, I am not sure why these pushrods wore. They were...

    help w/ borla headers

    I am installing my Borla headers and found that the cross over pipe set up has two places for an oxigen sensor. Being that the truck is built to only have one, what am I suposed to do with this other hole? They did not come with any installation instructions or a plug to put in the extra port...

    Injectors

    Has anyone used higher flow injectors to correct the pinging problem of these earlier motors? I am not sure if the ping is caused by too advanced of ignition timing or a lean burn ping. I sure would not mind spending $200 on injectors and stop having to put premium fuel in every 300 miles!

    Anyone tried Dynomax Cat-Back's?

    I cannot tell you how they sound on a 5.0. I have a Dyno Max set up on my '92. It sounds good for a 4.0 but the system is not made as well as other products. Flow master uses better materials. My system is 2 years old and the way it is rusting I will be surprised if I get one more year out...

    Injectors

    I also have my engine apart and was looking at my injectors. Mine has 108k on it and was running great. I had to take it apart to replace a cracked head. I noticed my rubber boots were not in all that great of shape either. They do not do much so I am not going to worry about them at all...

    valve cover gaskets...

    Make sure you get gaskets from a Ford dealer!!!!!!!! Do not go to the auto store and buy cork gaskets!!!!!!! Ford has newer gaskets made of metal and rubber that do not leak. I am doing the same job right now and taking the heads off because I believe one is cracked. I ordered a gasket kit...

    Where are my Borla Headers?

    I ordered the same headers, sku 17031 on 3/31 and have been receiving the same BS of a backorder. I called Borla today and they have them instock! I am not sure how long they have had them because the person was not able to say. I tried calling carparts.com to ask them but the line is always...

    Any one using "Supersprings" system????

    Thank you for the suggestion. I have used Mercer spring in the past to recurve springs for my 1 ton Dodge truck. I am afraid if I go in with springs off an explorer he will beat me over the head with them. (He is a big guy) O.K. seriously, I do plan to talk to them. I am just looking at the...

    Any one using "Supersprings" system????

    I am looking to improve the handling of my '92 EB. The back end sways too much aroung corners and lane changes. I already installed KYB shocks and addco sway bars. Sway bars helped allot but not enough. I need to know if anyone has used the Super Spring system and what they think of it. Or...

    Small Leak in radiator

    I have a '92 which also has a small leak from the radiator. Mine is coming from between the plastic tank and the core. If I presurise the radiator it will bubble at the top of the seam. Because it is not a major leak, I added some radiator stop leak and am waiting until it gets worse before I...

    Head gaskets leaking??

    My '92 seems to have a head gasket leak. I am hoping that it is a gasket and not a cracked head. It is leaking at the #2 cylinder (at least it is the front drivers side cylinder). I can see some wetness around the gasket and I can tell from the plug that it is burning a slight amount of...
