I think the truck you are looking for belongs to Gage:

I'm pretty sure it's the O2 sensors. I had the same problem with my '95 except I didn't have the strange temp. gauge activity. I tried changing the fuel pressure regulator and the problem persisted. Then I changed the O2 sensors and haven't had a problem since. Don't forget to reset your...

I don't know about this "keyborad" for the "brain" stuff, but I know that there is not a computer or anything related to the stereo in the rear jack storage area (left rear compartment) on my '95. There is a factory amp in the right right rear compartment that you will have to bypass to use...

You need to talk to Paul. He has done the same conversion in a '95 Ranger and he is the one who helped me with mine. I called him to be sure and he told me that the harness that I have is not available anymore, but he does have adapters that will work (much cheaper than what I paid too!).

Yup! I did the identical swap only with a headunit out of a '98. I found the harness at PDA Inc., a company in Denver that specializes in Ford factory audio systems. You can call them at 303-761-6022.

Search around the site for this and you will find all the info you need. You can get the gear at a dealership for around $10 and install it in less than 5 mins. ------------------ Brian Corff Dead Link Removed "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck forever."

You don't have torsion bars. Only the '95 and newer explorers with independent double wishbone front suspension have them. They are what acts as a spring in the double wishbone setup. I think you will either have to use coil spring spacers or get longer springs. ------------------ Brian...

Well, what do you know. Someone else from Boulder who does some wheelin' in an explorer. I do a lot of wheelin' with a buddy of mine with a Tahoe and I don't have any trouble keeping up. His isn't lifted except torsion bars, but neither is mine. A body lift for an early model explorer will...

BFG AT KO

His website says the disconnects are only for 98+ Explorers. Is there any difference, or will these also work for the 95-97's? ------------------ Brian Corff Dead Link Removed "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck forever."

Yes, 31x10.5's will fit a stock 95 Explorer. The only problems fitting that size has been with the older body style (94 and older). ------------------ Brian Corff Dead Link Removed "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck forever."

Well? Who wants to go? ------------------ Brian Corff Dead Link Removed "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck forever."

Gerald, yes I do know all that you had to do to your truck to make your tires fit, and I think it's awesome. However, there are now a few people running 32's on the torsion lift and it's just a matter of time before there are more 33's. Also, you are running metric tires which are larger...

Zelite5, I have 31x10.5r15's on my truck (stock wheels) with the 2" torsion bar and shackle lift. I wheel it pretty hard and I don't have any rubbing. You should look into doing this little lift yourself. It is well documented on this site if you look around and it is really easy to do. It...

You can fit 31" tires stock. With the torsion bar and shackle lift (approx 2"), you can fit 32's and probably 33's. The 33's might take a little trimming of the molding, but not much. I think 33x10.5 would be the biggest you could go. Let us know what you do. ------------------ Brian Corff...

Well, here goes again. I hope it works this time. I am having trouble finding a good place to mount my fire extinguisher too. Any suggestions? Also, Gerald you forgot to include a flashlight and extra batteries (required list) and maybe a 12V spot light for emergencies. A compas, a map (if...

Weird, I did reply and it didn't show up for some reason. I will repost my reply in a few minutes after I verify that this one works. ------------------ Brian Corff Dead Link Removed "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck forever."

Gerald, it sounds like you are trying to apply logic to Explorer modification. Is that part of the 12 step program? Dead Link Removed ------------------ Brian Corff Dead Link Removed "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck forever."

I forgot to mention that they also have a lifetime warranty.

I've got the Gabriel Pro Ryder VST's and they are great. I've had 'em for 20,000 miles. Sway and nose dive are virtually eliminated (the torsion bar lift helps out too, but I did that after 12,000 miles after the shocks) and they have eliminated the weird tire wear I was getting with the stock...

I'm gonna' put my order in for #3 Dead Link Removed. ------------------ Brian Corff Dead Link Removed "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck forever."

The shackles will fit your truck without any modification. Be aware that they are 8.5 inches long. This means that if currently have 5.5" shackles, you will get about 1.5" of lift. You didn't say if that is what you are trying to do. Anyway, call Desert Rat's 800 number and they should be...

I bought mine at a local tire store called Tire Source because they were $89 apiece (31x10.5r15) mounted and balanced. Someone had put them on a pathfinder and they rubbed on the mudflaps, so they brought them back for smaller ones. They had had them for less that 3 days and when I got them...

Gerald, I have an idea for you. Why not make some sort of quick release mechanism for your running boards so you can take them off for wheeling. I've always thought this would be a good idea for body panels on street/trail trucks. Just a thought. Brian ------------------ Brian Corff Dead...

BFG AT KO's are awesome in the snow. Last December, I had the pleasure of pulling a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee with Michelin somethings on it about half a mile uphill on a road covered in about 2 feet of snow. He had gotten stuck right at the base of the hill and couldn't go anywhere. I...

Check out Dead Link Removed ------------------ Brian Corff '95 XLT 4x4 V6 w/ 31x10.5's "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck forever."

I have an idea too. Mat, you said you currently run 32" BFG AT's. If they are not yet worn out and you are only getting new tires because you want a bigger size, why not keep the BFG's for daily driving and put some Mickey's or Swampers on some cheap steel wheels and swap them on only for...

I've got to agree with velcrofly in that a 5 quart jug of Castrol Syntec from K-mart is the cheapest and easiest way to buy synthetics (I learned that from this site a while back Dead Link Removed). I use the Syntec with a Mobile 1 filter and change the oil at 5000 miles. Oil comes out a...

Jeff, Thanks a lot for your help. This third type of Dual/Media unit with the RDS button but not from the MACH system must be what I have because I talked to the guy I got it from and he said he did not have a sub. I installed the unit on Monday with an adaptor that bypassed the factory amp...

Cobrajeff, Thanks for your help. I've currently got the premium radio with the Auto Set button and the amp in back. The dual media head I've got has an RDS button but I don't see a line out for a sub. I don't believe the truck that the dual media head came out of had a sub (I bought if from...

Does anyone know if the amp in a '95 with a tape deck (I don't think it is premium sound, but it does have an amp) is the same as the amp in a '98 with the dual media (CD/Tape) head unit? ------------------ Brian Corff '95 XLT 4x4 V6 w/ 31x10.5's "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once...

I am doing that exact swap. I'm putting a dual media (CD/Cassette) head unit from a '98 into my '95. So, the good news is that it is possible. The bad news is that the adaptor cost $75. The adaptor includes a new chip and you have to run wiring all the way back to the amp in the back. All...

I do not have a mechanical cable, I have an electronic sensor (see description in previous post on this thread). I don't think the computer knows anything about speed except that it is based on how fast the sensor is telling it the speedo gear is spinning. Thus, changing the speedo gear even...

Gerald, I too want pictures. I have almost the same setup as Ray, but I've got the build up bug in a bad way. Anyway, back to the speedo gears. Sorry if I told you the wrong place to look, I guess they changed the setup between '95 and '98. My speedo gear is in the back of the t-case, not...

Read around the site and you'll find hundreds of posts on this subject. Try the search feature first. The simple answer to your question is that there is no lift kit made for that model year but with enough money anything is possible. Ranger lifts can be modified. Custom lifts can be made...

On newer models there is not a speedometer cable, it is electronic. What you are looking for are 2 wires coming into a harness on the back, driver's side of the t-case. The harness is mated to a round sensor about 1" in diameter and 1.5-2" long, which is held in place by a small flat metal...

I see you're from Boulder. Me too! Welcome to the club. Yes, MAS is "Mass Airflow Sensor." I know someone already mentioned this, but headers are important if you're lookin' for hp. ------------------ Brian Corff '95 XLT 4x4 V6 Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick it once and you suck...

I got mine out by shoving 4 small allen wrenches (coat hangers will also work) into the holes. Then, I let the glove compartment swing all the way out(just push in the sides), and pushed the unit out from behind. It's cheap and easy, just the way I like it Dead Link Removed...

That is scary. My mom had the right, rear tire on her '94 XLT blow up while going 70 mph on the highway with my dad, brother, grandfather, and grandmother all in the car. Fortunately, she was able to maintain control and pull off the side of the highway with only a destroyed fender. No one...

I stayed probably 20 minutes later than you guys did. I guess the guy fell asleep at the wheel. The good news is that they thought he would recover. As I was getting into my truck to leave, one of the cops started asking me about my lift. I spent about 10 minutes explaining it to him and...
