I own a 94 XLT, and have become very familiar with the issues involved. I bought this vehicle in 2010 and she is still going. Complete top half rebuild with new comp cam, longer hardened push rods, all the things the 4.0 needed to help it out. Manual tranny swap, lift, lots of work done over the...

Howdy. It has been awhile since I have posted. I would like to give thanks to our forum for all the help I have gotten in solving a lot of my issues. My first Gen is far from perfect, but I still love giving it TLC. As anybody that owns one knows, these vehicles have issues. But they are also...

I know this is something that has been addressed many times. The 4.0 pushrod top half. After losing a head gasket recently, the top is getting some work done. I have had this 94 XLT for about five years now and have put quite a bit of money into it. It is one of my favorite hobbies. Every year...

I have just received my"Hyperflex Master Kit" 4.18102 bushing set, but I have lots I want to do. Complete suspension overhaul is on my mind. Would like to kill all the birds with one stone. Rust, that is starting to become a priority, Ideas? Suspension, beefier, but not over the top. Steering...

This is my version of a new steering shaft how-to. I put a 3" body lift and 32's on my Explorer in April and have had binding issues since. Before the lift and bigger tires, I had a lot of slop in my steering. Already replaced my steering gear last year. I do need to replace a lot of other...

It has been almost 5000 miles since my auto to manual tranny swap and maybe 300 miles since my lift and tire swap. I parked her until I figure out what is going on. Roar that gets worse every day from the front. Get under her and you can hear something in the tranny. I give up.

I am posing a question to everyone. My Exploder has been making a sound every since I have had it. I live on top a hill, when driving up my gravel drive (with all it's ruts and dips) the driver's side front axle makes a sound almost like the sound of a power steering pump that is low on fluid...

I have been enjoying researching various things tonight on my favorite forum. Go upstairs from the basement to get me a bourbon on the rocks, and my wife asks what I am doing. "Just visiting my forum", I said. "I hope your looking at getting a **** *** put in", she said. "What did you say", I...

Rainy day here in Kentucky. Thought I would start my registry. What I have is a basic stock '94 with very minor mods. When I first bought it back in February 2010 the 4x4 wasn't working in it. Warn manual hub swap took care of that problem. I have done the A4LD to M5R1 swap, which I just...

No sooner than you finish one project and it is time for another. When I bought my XLT a couple of years ago the auto hubs were shot and the inside bearings on the passenger side were completely gone. I mean no bearing in the rotor at all. How the wheel stayed on when I drove it home is beyond...

Doing auto to manual swap and am looking for manual floor shifter assembly. I have electric transfer case so I only need the transmission shift assembly including boot and all trim pieces. Also looking for manual dust cover for tranny.

A4LD has died and now it is time for the remains to be removed and buried. Moment of silence please.... ok manual tranny time. So far in the last week I have removed the transfer case and am ready to drop the auto tranny. I am in no way a mechanic, but give me a book and one hell of a website...

This week I have noticed several things going on. My ABS light has always stayed on. Well this week driving back and forth to work, my ABS might be on when going to work and stay off on the way home. Also my cruise has decided to stop working again. Yesterday on the way home my cruise wasn't...

Hey. Haven't been on for awhile. Here's what is going on. Started a new job around April last year. Was driving my '94 XLT as a daily driver. Went to work one day, came out, and it was hard to get started. Once it was started it sounded like total hell. It was missing and smoking. Put it in...

Has anyone ever seen a coolant leak at the timing cover? Did a head replacement Monday and I've been checking daily for leaks. Right off the bat very insignificant drop of coolant. Thought it might be lower intake leaking but the more I drive it and the drier the engine gets after all the work...

I have posted in several threads trying to get answers. Still not getting help. I will try once again. Have a '94 Explorer. Idles rough. So far I have replaced lower intake gasket, upper intake gasket, fuel injector o-rings, thermostat, radiator cap, battery cables, replaced 2 vac lines going to...

Got my '94 XLT last Wednesday. So far I have changed air filter, new lower and upper intake gaskets, new valve cover gaskets, new o rings on injectors. Bought a can of MAF cleaner today. Someone give me the list of what else I should be checking. After changing all of this the RPM at idle...

Finally got my 'new' ride today. "94 Explorer XLT. Giving it a good look see when I got it home, Noticed the axle arm pivot bolt sticking out about an inch or so. Got under checking things out and the nut is gone. Bolt is just barely in. I was wanting to see if anyone knows what size of nut and...

Looking to replace a wore out car with something different. Looking at a '94 Explorer XLT. 4x4 not working but I think it is narrowed down to the hubs. Probably will replace with manual hubs. Also has heater issues. Owner says heater and ac work for several miles but will just shut off for no...
