Steering fluid shooting out of the top of the P/S pump is normal when the engine is off, the pump re-circulates the fluid that's in the reservoir when the engine is on, if the engine is off, the fluid can't re-circulate and winds up shooting out of the top... I can't help much with the...

One thing I would suggest is to build up a stock of Kroil - it's a rust dissolving penetrating oil that I swear by - It will definitely help with taking everything apart!

Take a look at Glacier's write up - http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122696 Obviously some parts may not be of particular interest, but the pictures will give you a better idea of what you're working towards... When I overhauled my front brakes, I took the key out...

I've replaced my fan probably three times since I've owned my '93 (About 4 years now) with the plastic, cheap-o blades - I found that I just chalk up replacing the cracked fan blade as part of routine maintenance - A couple quick spins of the wrench, grabbing my saved receipt, and heading to the...

All, I just spent the last three days on the Explorer - I first started with the idea of replacing my eater core and I figured that if I had to drain the radiator part way, I might as well pull it and remove my A/C system (wanted to do for a while now) and flush the cooling system after the...

Just my two cents...I tried Seafoam in the vac and in the intake with no problems, then tried it in the oil... I developed a major leak in the rear main seal, that's been losing a little oil here and there, not too bad, but I now check to make sure it's got enough oil before I crank 'er...

Hello All, Today I was driving and my turn signals started acting up, specifically the left turn signal. All bulbs work, and the both front and rear bulbs work on the left side... The issue is that the left turn signal no longer blinks, the arm stays locked in the down position and is...

Hello All, I was driving to work this morning when i started to hear a scraping/sucking noise from the front end...My thermostat read as though the truck was overheating, so I turned the truck off and attempted to figure out the problem... Upon inspecting the engine compartment, I noticed...

Well, I've elected to go with a total overhaul...That means new shocks,springs,and fasteners...Figure if I'm gonna spend the time I might as well do it right. I'll take some pics, any other suggestions/tips?

Howdy, My rear leaf springs have finally flattened out (Literally, they're flat), and I am now contemplating replacing both springs along with the shackles and related items... My question are: - Would it be worth it to install an add-a-leaf instead or replacing the springs(I'm leaning...

Might be a little late, but I have schematics and manuals I can send from an online registry...I had to do this last November...

I'd suggest going on to crutchfield.com and looking for the wiring harness...I bought an adapter harness last year and only have good things to say... To remove the stock radio I used 2 pieces of stiff wire bent into semi-circles and insterted them into the DIN slots on each corner of the...

No matter which one you buy,Kroil the hell out of all the bolts and studs a few days in advance...

crutchfield is the way to go...the amp bridge cable is a bit of a project to install but it's definitely worth it...just my 2 cents

penetrant (kroil) on exhaust manifolds - regularly for 3 days... make sure you have a t55 torx bit to take off head bolts...and make sure you replace your fuel injector o-rings...just replaced my heads over thanksgiving...still have the online repair manual if you need schematics

Hello all, sorry for the double post... I have two sound issues on my 1993 Explorer- 1) after idling for a bit there is a high pitched whine coming from the driver side of the vehicle near the gas tank... what could this be? 2) I have begun to hear rapid light clicking noises which...

Hello all, My explorer is leaning bad to the drivers side, upon inspecting the leaf springs I found that they are almost completely flat (both sides). I have to replace all 4 shocks and I figured that since I'm down there I should do the leaf springs too - (front springs were done in the...

changed the oil this weekend- all clear! Thanks again!

A sigh of relief! Wow guys! thanks for all the help- especially clarifying the differences between the gauge and the light. Basically I'm going to finish my cooling system overhaul and then I'll change the oil- I hope to finish the job either by the weekend or over it so expect an update...

I am nauseous right now to be honest... I started up my 1st gen explorer to move it to garage to begin to change the water pump...when i started it up the check oil light came on, and did not go off, I have to replace the oil and was planning on doing it after the water pump swap- but after...

ok cool, I think i may have to take off the water outlet again, so i'll just clean all that stuff off of there...
