I'm thinking about buying a 96 4x4 Explorer with a manual transmission. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet but it looks good from the outside. Was wondering if there was anything to be leary of or watch for on that year of Explorer? As far as I can research it sounds like it should...

Unfourtunately I have to sell the exploder to help pay for my contracting van. The steering gear is shot and needs replaced. How hard is it to replace? I can't imagine it being more than a couple of bolts, the power steering fittings and the pitman(if that's the right term).

My girlfriends 97 Saturn SC had the low oil presure light blink on and off for a week or so. I had assumed it was the low oil light. Stupid car doesn't have a low oil light. Just a low oil presure light. I'm wondering how much damage it could have done to the engine? Anyone have any insight on...

Will a manual transfer case from behind a automatic bolt up to a manual transmission? Will the shift linkages from the manual/auto setup work with a manual/manual setup? Donor is a 91-94 automatic. Vehicle getting the parts is a 95 Ranger with a manual transmission. Thanks!

I'm still screwing with this problem. I get a occasional pull to the drivers side when braking. Very rarely I will get a very mild pull to the passenger side. Things I've tried: New front calipers and pads. Swapped front rotors. Swapped front tires. RA bushings. Drivers side ball...

I got every torn apart but I can't get the lower ball joint out of the axle/knuckle. Is there a tool for this? I beat the last one out but this one is stuck and I don't want to damage it either. How do you guys get em out? Talking about the knuckle attached to the truck.

My rear drivers side axle has about 1/8" of play in and out. Is this something to be concerned with? Normal?

I'm still trouble shooting the intermittant pull to the left(drivers side). I had replaced the rear brake shoes recently after purchasing the X. I can't remember when the pulling problem started. Is one of the shoes thicker than the other one? If so which way should this shoe be orientated...

My brakes have had a intermittant pull to the left for some time now. I've replaced: Front shoes and calipers Rear shoes and cylinders(let them auto adjust out) 4WD ABS unit with a junkyard unit To no avail. Symptoms have not changed. The right rear drum looked a little glazed(minor...

I might be getting a 97 Econoline van that has tranny problems. It supposedly drives but OD has failed. Haven't rebuilt a transmission yet. I think the van probably has a 4R100 or a E40D in it. Seen rebuild kits on fleebay for around $200. Manual runs about $25 for rebuilding one. Thinking that...

My brakes are annoying me so I'm going to swap this out with a junk yard unit. My question is about bleeding. Will I be able to bleed this out myself or will Ford have to do it? If I use the the drive on a gravel road and lock them up then bleed them a few times will it work? Sorta looking for a...

The clutch on my 93 Explorer is pretty stiff to the point that my crappy knee is feeling it when I'm shifting. I know, just take some Advil but was wondering if there is a upgrade such as a master with more leverage or something that would make it easier to shift?

What do you all think? I've only driven a Explorer with ABS brakes but am thinking of converting mine to non-abs. Does the ABS work well in the winter? Is it noticeably better than the non-ABS brakes on 91-92 Explorers? The reason I'm asking is I'm still experiencing pulling to the left...

I have a patch of rust I'm going to grind out. It's about 8-10" long and still in the rocker. Expecting a 8-10" X 1-2" hole. What should I paint and fill it with? The other holes in the rockers have me concerned about new rust getting a grip. Is there anything I can coat or pump into the...

Heres the situation, I got some loaded brake calipers from Rock Auto but they have different brand of shoes in them. I'm wondering if it will make much of a difference to use them? I wouldn't normaly do this but am thinking of giving it a try as they are free for me now and free fits my budget...

So.. I don't think I ordered the right parts. I'm looking for the Timken part number for the large seal that is inside the spindle that seals the shaft. I'm also looking for the Timken part number for the seal that fits in the rotor that seals onto the spindle. Hope the parts I got go...

So.. I ordered up this part at rock auto: Timken 722108, Front outer spindle seal. Turns out it's a 1" 1/4" to 1" 1/2" round rubber seal. Looks almost like a o-ring. Not what I thought it was but does it fit anywhere on the front end?

http://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/1300476344.html Saw that and of course immediately thought about swapping it in. LOL!

If anyone is looking for cheap/good shocks they have some Monroe Reflex Monotubes for $20-24 on closeout. 30 day warranty but I've never used warranties anyways.

Since my steering gear is leaking and needed the mesh tightened to not wander I've been trying to figure out how it all works. Found this good site with lots of info: http://www.stangerssite.com/HowItWorksSteeringBox.html This page is just information and good information at that. If...

I'm out at Rock Auto checking out some spindle seals and I'm seeing a inner and outer. My manual is only showing one seal on the spindle in the hub assembly. I'm thinking that the inner actually is in the differential? And the outer is the one I need to seal the shaft to the spindle? Rock Auto...

Darn things are like $40 bucks or so and was wondering if you could just take some filter charcoal and rebuild it. Mabye I'll score one at pull n save and try it out. Pretty sure my gas smells are coming from the Evap canister.

I can't seem to find one anywhere. I'm interested in getting one for my 2" suspension lift but can't find one. Probably don't need it but it seems like it might help with bump steer some.

Which one goes to which side? One comes off the intake the other is part of the vacuum system. Thanks!

When I turn the lights on, roll the windows down, turn signal or anything the voltage will drop some on the guage then come right back up. Was wondering if this was normal? The battery tested good. I just replaced the alternator and it was doing it before the alternator was replaced. Battery...
