    Bonehead Front wheel bearing question.......

    Thanks guys for the input, I've never done bearings before, never had to. And because this is my first 4x4 I'm still learning that as well. I've done the shift motor a couple of times but that's about it. You've made me feel much better. I've also never packed bearings, so I bought a packer...

    Bonehead Front wheel bearing question.......

    So the plot thickens: First of all, on the passenger side I drove out the races and pressed in the new ones.....I don't think I'll ever do this again, driving them out was far too much trouble, for $37, I'll just get new rotors. I didn't replace the drivers side races because it was worn out...

    Third row seat in 1991 XLT

    I have one in my 93. It came with it and I can't tell where it came from, I can tell you the materal it's covered in matches the stock steats exactly in pattern, color and design. Mine also had 3 seat belts, but one of them broke so only two work. It can face front or back, and the way it's...

    More permanent shift motor fix???

    Wow, I had gotten no notifications on this thread, and had assumed no one ever answered, boy was I wrong.... I even thought I had come checked out the post a few days later and no responses, but I guess i had been smoking crack... Anyway, I re-looked up this thread today and saw it had been...

    Bonehead Front wheel bearing question.......

    Ok, so I got the roar, and my front tires "wiggle", in fact I took off the passengers side wheel and the ROTOR "wiggles" even by hand. This is bad I'm thinking. If things were as they should be, the rotor shouldn't wiggle at all side to side, and the wheel neither, from what I understand...

    More permanent shift motor fix???

    So the first big snow of this year, I go out and hit 4x4 to head into work, and get nada!! Didn't have time to mess with it, and was running late, and the snow was 6" deep, so just slipped and slid into work. I had fixed the shift motor once when I first got the truck (from the instructions...

    How To: Pull Trouble Codes on a 1st Gen Explorer (paperclip method)

    Well a 333 could be the 1 1 1 and 1 1 1 (it repeats 2x) but I don't know where you would get a 3rd 3. But I guess it COULD be 1 1 1 and 1 1 1 (for the KOEO codes) then the single seperator flash then 1 1 1 and 1 1 1 (for CM codes). You would get that if everything was fine and no stored...

    Using a Passenger side lock switch in the drivers side, and vice versa

    Added a second pic so if someone is needing to do this they can get an idea of how easy this is.

    Useless thread on Climate Control er... controls... explained.

    I've noticed and wondered that myself Ted. As for FLR/DEF mode, I'm pretty sure mine was on in either mode, but it may be that mine is a little off, and throws the switch in both settings. If I can get a 3rd opinion I'll update the original post if needed. As a side not, this post was hard...

    Using a Passenger side lock switch in the drivers side, and vice versa

    Ok, yeah, so it's upside down... but....it works!!! I could have installed it right side up, but then the U would have locked it and the L would have unlocked it, and the raised and recessed surfaces would have been backwards. So I just installed it upside down. The U and L had worn off on my...

    Useless thread on Climate Control er... controls... explained.

    I know only about 5 people in the whole world will ever find this interesting and informative, but for all 5 of you, here it is. This is of course specific to a 93 Explorer, but I'd think most other 1st gen 91-94's would be the same. This is the control that has OFF - MAX A/C - PANEL - PNL/FLR...

    Stuck on vent Issues....

    I'm gonna put this reply in both my threads about this, so you might see double post.... I "fixed" my vacuum issue today with the outside vent. I was spending a day on the vehicles and decided I had the time to mess around with the lines. I found my problem about 20 seconds into it. I had...

    A/C-Heat intake vent??? Anyone....Anyone....?

    Malchi, Thanks for checking that out, on mine I do have vacuum, just not enough, and the second the truck is turned off the "plunger" releases. I got me a big ol' leak somewhere. I did check out the black vacuum canister the other day when I discovered I had a vacuum leak, and all my...

    A/C-Heat intake vent??? Anyone....Anyone....?

    I've also noticed the A/C on thing. What's more.... I can tell you that if you push the button, and the vent is open, and you have air flow, it will be cold. So in effect it's like a A/C outside air instead of fan air movement. I have verified for myself in the past that if that button is...

    Stuck on vent Issues....

    Ok, reviving this old one from the dead. I finally decided tonight to investigate this. It's just getting nice enough outside to start rolling down the windows and the hot air blowing from the vents was ticking me off. So Anime told me there was a "blend" door right behind the glove box, I'd...

    A/C-Heat intake vent??? Anyone....Anyone....?

    I wonder why I can't see mine through my cowl, but I'll trust it's there. I'm trying to figure out how the system routed (I get hot (read as HOT) air from the vents pretty much all the time, unless it's on floor, then I get hot, and i mean HOT air on my feet. Trying to figure out why) I've...

    A/C-Heat intake vent??? Anyone....Anyone....?

    Yes and no, I've been trying to find it there, and so far have been unable to do so, I was thinking (hoping) maybe it was somewhere else, but I'm thinking more and more that it IS there. I just gotta find a way to verify before I tear everything apart, I'll be really pissed if I tore the entire...

    A/C-Heat intake vent??? Anyone....Anyone....?

    93 Sport (not that I think year matters on this) anyone know where the "fresh air" intake is for the A/C and Heating system??? I was thinking it might be in the cowl area where the windshield wiper motors are, but I'm just guessing, short of tearing the dash apart I have been unable to find it...

    1991 Explorer boils over after you shut it off -- FIXED

    I know all about overheating, see my sticky up top!! LOL Anyway, when it was my Radiator not moving enough water I overheated on the highway, but short in town trips where fine..... Logic and experience tells me if you do fine on the highway, but not in the city you have an air flow issue...

    New Alternator, crazy needles, and other summer fun...

    Thanks guys, I think I was running around 14 something if I remember back last year when we were having the conversation about my needle bouncing around a lot (you were in that thread Ted). I ended up getting the "magic smoke" from my multi meter Maniak is so fond of!! LOL Well, I got more...
