Well I have posted on here a lot and seem to come and go as well. But I always come back and have helped out some fellow explorer owners, on here and in real life. I've posted on here before about a sound coming from my front end, could be hub, axle, or shaft to the transfer case or even the...

Well I was just thinking about my busted RA and thought well since I plan to install a 5.5" James Duff lift in the next year or two I could just go on and purchase their RA's. RA kit alone costs, $569 http://www.jamesduff.com/broncoII/radiusarms.html Stage one lift 2.5" with RA's for...

Hey guys, just wanted to find out if anyone has had issues with their skid plate that goes under the gas tank. My skid plate is fine other than the fact it is sitting in my garage and has been since my vacation into Kentucky back in March. The bracket which supports the plate in the back...

Well this post will run long with all the information since I have spun three bearings on my front drivers side within one years time. Been having issues regarding my wheel bearings on my driver side for a year now. Have repacked six new bearings just for the drivers side in one year. Last...

Alright, I have had a 99 cavalier for over a year now. The person I bought it from lied and I ended up shelling out $375 for another motor and spent a few days swapping them out. I had a buddy haul it around 15 miles on his rollback and that cost $35. Super sweet deal. Either way...

As the title says, another day and another problem. ABS related this time. As I have stated before, I have a bad upper ball joint on my front right side and my alignment is off, and the right radius arm and bracket need replaced. Now whenever I am turning right really slow under 5MPH my...

Well here we go again.... Checked the fluid level on my front diff yesterday because it has been making some noise. Well I stuck my pinky in the fill hole and could not find any fluid. Please tell me that something is not broken. Also, my father argues that since a recent ranger he worked...

I was leaving home a week or so ago and I noticed my brakes were going further down than normal. Long story short I had to push the peddle to the floor, pretty much, to get it to stop and still stopping was a challenge. I have some brakes but not like it use to be, then they were not the best...

So my explorer has been sitting for about a month now, I've been having starting issues.... When I try to start it I hear a single click coming from the starter solenoid which is the fender mounted one. I recharged the battery because it was dead from sitting, was a new one too :( I...

Not my truck and no picture at the moment. 1994 F 150, under 100,000 miles. All the options, 5.0 V8 I was ask to look it over because it had a coolant leak. After poking around for about 30 minutes, I finally thought to squeeze the radiator hoses. The upper is fine, little to no coolant in...

Tonight I noticed my battery gauge was showing a drop in voltage while stopped at a red light. At the time I had the headlights on, heater about half way, and the radio on. I figure the battery needs replaced and planned on replacing the cables as well. I decided to test it to see how far it...

I've been thinking about this for some time and tell myself no. But an explorer is an SUV and was somewhat built with towing in mind. I'm planning to purchase a 16' car hauler type trailer next year and will be towing with my 94 explorer with an A4LD transmission that has 184,x.. miles at the...

To my knowledge ABS became a standard option on all explorers starting in 1993. Was this just rear ABS or ABS on all four wheels? I ask this because my 94 explorer has ABS to my knowledge. The little ABS light comes on at start up and goes off after a sec. My guess is the system is being...

ok so my rebuilt T/C shift motor stopped working on me and I tore it apart to see what was up again. Nothing was out of place so I put it back together just to go back to having a 2wd explorer :( So today I decided to pull it off and manually shift my T/C into 4high. This worked for five...

I just returned home from a local exhaust place. I stopped in to ask for a price on a flowmaster 40 for my explorer. The worker there said it's $125 installed or I could get a super V for $75 installed. He then went on to explain that the super V is a series 40 flowmaster but is not stamped...

I just thought I would ask, It's not my truck but is my oldest brothers. I've driven it a few time and man is it a sweet sports truck. It has many mods done to the stock 5300 and has had upgrades in the tune of $4,800 to the transmission but I don't have the exact details on it. The...
