Thanks for this timely thread. Had my 92 in the shop, they reversed 5&6 Thanks, just brought my 92 home from shop. Was running rough, shop said it needed new wires, I figured I'd do them and save $100. Replaced them as the old ones were installed, still rough, because 45&6 are wrong 🙄. Will fix...

Thanks

Hose isn't clogged original cap, may be weak. Thanks, I'll test it.

Coolant level in radiator drops, coolant reservoir bottle stays full.

My 1992 XLT 165,000 miles is using coolant, not a lot, quart a month tops. I replaced radiator when I bought it 5 years ago. haven't run leak test yet, Odd thing is that the overflow remains full. 2 Questions -Why isnt it drawing coolant from the overflow tank? - How do you diagnose intake...

Thanks for the post. I need to do the rear, window is slipping. I did front ones on my last explorer, Sure appreciate all the help here.

Just finished replacing brake hoses & rotors, repacking bearings. What I learned: -There are two brake hoses for first gen Explorers, Before 01/92 and after 02/92 Your manufacture date is on the label inside driver's door. -The necessary, & impossible to find 11mm flare wrench:dunno: you need...

There are fewer parts under the manual hubs, otherwise, the same to remove rotor, repack bearings, etc.

Advance Auto carried the double fitting driver side hose. Didn't have passenger side in stock. I had a hose for the passenger side from my 1993 that I never used... too long, wrong bend. found a store close with them in stock. getting harder to find parts

Replaced headliner with a junkyard find Kits I've looked at elsewhere are one long sheet, 3 yards needed. I'd planned to recover my 1992's sagging headliner, but I found a nearly perfect one at the local U-Pull-It junk yard ($10.99!) just replaced it yesterday also the driver's side visor...

The latch on mine wasn't holding because a metal piece in the hood broke. the hood bounced up and down with only the second safety latch keeping it from flying up into the windshield. Couldn't get the factory latch working right, so I decided on hood pins. I left the old latch in place, the...

Curious, what did you get for it?

Drove a 1993 that son wrecked twice. New steering box, tow chain & tree bumper pull out,& junkyard headlamps fixed it well enough to drive. Got a straight blue 1992 in 2013. Trying to keep it running till I can afford to fix the rotten rockers March 2016- Getting harder to find good parts at...

Repairing busted door pulls Happy hunting, but If you strike out at the junkyard, there are replacement pulls available on ebay, here's a sticky post how to install them http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=387833

Yes, the same grey Ford Moly grease. Go crazy with it in the wheel bearings ,but a light coat in the auto hubs will do.

Just found a video on Ehow that shows line replacement on a 1991 explorer. very helpful, http://www.ehow.com/video_2328154_install-brake-hose.html

I was lucky to find intact panels at the junkyard. often hard to find intact anything when there is a common weak point like this. thanks for the video!

I like the utility, and the junkyard parts avaliability. I've been able to keep mine alive, even resurrect it from hydrolock, and use tree & chain hillbilly body work to pull both sides of the front bumper back out. It needs ball joints soon, but the body was so beat by my son that it's hard to...

Thanks, Turdle! I found pics on IAC cleaning here -> http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84220 I'll do that next.

LAst week, exp was running rough,on the way home from work, I found that the plug on vacuum port at rear of plenum had fallen off, I re covered it, and it runs OK. NO Check Engine Light. But, when it starts, the idle runs high for about 20 seconds, then kicks down low and goes lower till...

In the middle of this now, just bought a 96 xlt pretty cheap-but it's only a bargain if I do it myself. The helps here make doing this job possible, many many thanks. This you tube video of VB gasket replacement helped a lot too. UPDATE It didn't fix it, tranny was roached after all...

Most likely the motor I had replaced the switch with used, didn't fix it. I tried Cculter's motor fix, it didn't work on mine, but the diagrams were very helpful to replace the motor. Belated thanks to you, Mr.Culter. Works fine now. Most likely the motor, try the rebuild, if that...

Thank you for the helpful pictures, Dominick
