    Flywheel broken?

    He didn’t bring it back to me. I repossessed it. He made me one small payment over the last year, the damage happened to the Ex in May or June. He was gonna fix it, gonna fix it, etc. Finally he found some shop that was going to let him pay payments on the repair. That’s when I had enough...

    Flywheel broken?

    I just got my 95 Explorer back from my best friend who has had it for about a year. The Explorer is not running right now. The starter stopped catching on the fly wheel and the tranny leaked all of the fluid out of it (after it stopped running, thankfully) What do you all think I am...

    95 Explorer Limited.. Help :)

    I have searched and I have found a lot of good information about my Explorer. I have 2 specific questions that I can't really find an answer for. 1) I need new front hub assemblies. They are very expensive, however I found several on Ebay for around $50.00 each. These are supposed to be...

    95 explorer headlight directly wired to the fuse panel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The wire is directly connected to the headlight plug. If I take the wire out there is nothing connected to the low beam wire on the plug. I understand the LOM. I just can't find the original wire to connect to the headlight plug. (sorry, I left that out before) Thanks!

    A 96 explorer with 35s

    The story is actually about NOT having a come-a-long. I had just bought a Ranger 4x4 extended cab. My boys were riding in the jump seats in the back and my father in law was riding with me up front. I must note that the truck had street tires that were slap worn out. My father in law was...

    A 96 explorer with 35s

    I don't let a little thing like my rig not being built bad to the bone yet stop me from going off road. My Explorer is BONE STOCK and I am able to off road the way it is now. No, I can't do Tellico but I can do a LOT off roading. That is kind of like waiting to go camping until you can...

    95 explorer headlight directly wired to the fuse panel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have had my Explorer for a few months now and I'm trying to get to know my Ex. Tonight I was replacing the headlight socket and noticed that the wire for the low beams appeared to be wired seperatly from the main wire harness. I followed this lone wire all the way back to the firewall. I...

    How to check out used parts

    I have a 95 Limited 4x4 I recently purchased. The front hubs and one axleshaft need to be replaced. I want to go to a salvage yard and try to pull these parts myself to save money. I know this question sounds elementary. How do I verify the parts I pull are good? With the hubs do I just...

    My explorer is possessed!

    Is this an isolated event? Seriously, it sounds like you accidentally hit the door unlock button on your keyless remote in your pocket or something. I'm not trying to be insulting or anything. Do you have a small child that likes to push buttons? I'm just asking because I HAVE personally...

    34 inch tires

    Oh yeah! That is what I'm talking about! They looked great on the Jeep Cherokees that I found online. I knew the would look great on an Explorer! I personally like a narrower tire on these midsize suvs. They don't overpower the look of the truck with tread. Plus they have to be easier on...

    34 inch tires

    Just curious, have you considered the super swamper 34x10.50? I was looking at them before I sold my Ranger. Now I have an Explorer. I think they would look awesome on your Ex. Jerem0621

    Please help, 95 Ex has some issues!

    The truck will only blow hot air if I have the temperature all the way up. The AC will only blow if I have the temp all the way down. I can actually hear the blend door struggling to change positions. This one is a Limited model and has the push button AC controls. Thanks for the tip on...

    I have a few questions about my Ex. I hope someone can help me out. 1) My new to me 95 Explorer had a burned out low beam headlight (or so I thought) . I bought a new bulb and the low beam still doesn't work! I checked the fuses and everything looks good. Does anybody know where else to...

    1995 Limited 4x4

    Thank you for the replies! I'm glad to know that it is 4wd and not all wheel drive. No particular reason. LOL. I drove the truck quite a bit yesterday and today. This thing seems to run really good. The back doors seem to be permanently child proofed, I changed the child proof...

    1995 Limited 4x4

    I just picked up a 95 Explorer Limited. This thing has air ride suspension and 4x4. Is this a true 4x4 or is it an all wheel drive model? My switch has a 4x4 and a 4x4 low position. I'm just wondering about that. when I put it in 4x4 high it worked great. 4x4 low gave me some clunking from...

    What kind of lift do I have?

    Thanks! According to your axle chart 33's will be maxing out my gear ratio, I think I may just go with 31's or 32's right now and save up to do the gear swap when I wear these out. I'm in need of new tires. Thanks! Jerem0621
