Well, times are getting hard. I am letting go of my 94 xlt explorer with 130,000 miles. It has run great and there have been tranny/engine/electrical problems with it. The only minor problem is the AC, which hasn't worked for 3 years. It is in good condition, do you think 4,000 is a decent...

I have a little question for yous guys. It started about a month ago and I noticed when I pressed the brake pedal hard, then the red Brake IP light would come on, but lately even when I press the brakes lightly, the light comes on. Should this be of some concern? Thanks in advance, Ryan

My winshield wipers came with black paint, and it has started to peel off into a chrome color on both the back and front wipers. Can I paint these and what paint(spray paint?) should I use? Also, how long will this take? Any answers will be greatly appreciated and coveted. Thanks, Ryan

ya, that seems really really low for a '94. My 94 has 123000

when you say, "upgrade to new pedals", how much work/money goes into that?

Something interesting happened today. I was driving to work and the plastic brake pedal cover just came off. I just drove on the bare metal. I know this can be dangerous, but my feet weren't wet and i had a good grip. Anyway, has this ever happened to you? Also, I am thinking about getting...

Yeah, I've heard people refer to it as "dry heat". Considering we don't have much humidity out here,I guess that is what you can call it.

Sigh...Air Conditioner, Yea or Nay??? Well, after living without the air conditioner my 1994 explorer for about 2 years, I am thinking about getting it fixed for this upcoming summer's heat as sort of my "winter" project. However I am still debating the pro's and cons. First the Facts: I...

hmmmm...those look interesting.

'94 Ex with 123,000 miles on her. The only probs I have thus far: bad gas mileage air conditionar hasn't worked for 2 years need bigger tires other than those things, she has ran perfectly

I ended up getting ALL TERRAIN AT KO 31's. Snowed about 5 inches the day I got them and they performed very well. These are probably the most knobby tires I have ever got. I look forward to wheelin' with them. Thanks for your comments. ~Ryan

I am 90% sure that I am going to get BFG All Terrain KO's. Can anyone give me some comments on their performance on and off road? Thanks, also looked into getting some Goodyear Wranglers. Which are the better tire? On road 95%, off road 5%. Thanks, Ryan

HELP!! PSI Just a little question for yous guys. I am running my BFG's at 31 psi. What is the optimum psi for BFG AT, I run about 95% on road 5% off road. I live in NM which right now has low temp of 5 and highs of the mid 30's. What would the optimum PSI for these tires be. I am saying...

Make that 2 lifted explorers I have seen. I just saw one yesterday at the mall. Looked to be an 94-96 model with around 34's. Looked nice, and a teenager was driving. By the way, it had Washington plates and I live in New Mexico. ~Ryan

Did you go to that competition in Farmington or did you see walker evans elsewhere? Personally, I think Walker is a crappy driver, who should stick to baja. I watched him take really crappy lines up the rock and roll it twice!!! Just because he is sponsored by some notables(namely goodyear)he...

Just wondering if lifted explorers are considered rare. I bring this topic up because the city I live in has a population of 40000 and I have only seen 2 noticably lifted explorers in the past year or so. To get to my question, do explorers get lifted less(percentage wise) that other SUVs and...

I will never get BFG Long Trail tires again. They have no grip whatsoever in sand, rocks, snow, etc. Should of got BFG All Terrain. How much do AT's run? Ryan

Those krawlers are awesome. Saw them at the world rock crawling competition in my hometown of Farmington, New Mexico. They perform better than super swampers on the rocks(sandstone primarily). ~Ryan

Funny thing is, the same thing happened to me. Only, I wasn't muddin I was in sand. Anyway, I popped into 4 low, and when I got on the main road. Turned it off, then I started to hear a whine when I accelerated. That happened for about 3 months but then it just stopped. Twas a strange thing...

Thanks, anyway.. I just realized I dont have control trac:rolleyes: so therefor it would be misleading. Sorry about the confusion, Ryan

I'm not quite sure what a tailgate emblem is. Does it stick, and if so will it still stick on mine? Pardon the (stupid) questions, but I'm not that informed on these topics. Anyway, post a reply, and tell me how much shipping is, Thanks, Ryan

What does the term rice(r) mean? Thanks, ~ryan

I'll take it. Does it say 95 xlt on it? Thanks, Ryan

I got airborne for the first time in the eggsplorer yesterday. I was out taking a stroll on an oil road, when all of a sudden the road went went really steep and then came back down. Kinda like this: /\ but not that steep Anyway, as I was haulin up it, I felt the back tires get of the...

Hmm.. I can give you a spin off of my name. Possibly, green eggs? eggs? I call my explorer eggs or eggsplorer, dunno why. Anyway, you could call her greggsplorer(if your name was greg). Just a few strange ideas. ~Ryan

Have any of yous ever seen(own) an explorer with a snorkel? Do they make snorkels for explorers? Just wondering, Thanks, ~Ryan

Is it possible to baja an explorer? I was out on some oil roads today goin pretty quick, I hit an incline and got about 6 feet of lengthwise air. Is it possible this did any damage? Thanks

Yeah, all front end engines are heavy. Probly, shoulda mentioned that in the first post, but you don't have to treat me like an idiot. J/K;) ~Ryan

Are BFG Long Trial respectible tires(both on and off road)? I don't really want to dish out the dough for All Terrain or Goodyear Wranglers. Thanks in advance, Ryan

Just a small question for you guys. I am not trying to be negative or give a bad rap to explorers(after all I have one myself). The question is, What Offroad Potential to Explorers really have? My buddies say that they are front end heavy, and don't have the ability to do much four-wheeling...

PCV Filter OK, I have no idea where to replace my PCV Filter. I even went to auto zone and checkers. They were no help at all. I looked at the haynes manual and it didn't look anything like mine. So do you have any suggestions, I have a 94 xlt auto Thanks, Ryan

I have a 1994 explorer xlt with 122,000 miles. I bought the car used with 40,000 miles on it. I have no problems with her, and never had to replace anything over 50 dollars. So, the question I ask is, how long will she last? Possibly till 150,000? Auto trans Oil change, rotation, etc...

Just a few questions: 1). How much does a remote starter cost? 2). Where can I get one? 3). Can I install it myself? 4). Is it really worth it? PS. I heard Sams Club offers them for 30 dollars is this true? Thanks, Ryan

I have a question about rusting on my back bumper. I bought the explorer used and don't know the original color of it. It's not the bumper exactly its the metal piece where the trailer hitch sits. Can i rub it with some steel wool or ????? ~Ryan

The gas gauge in my explorer fluctuates way to much(from 1/8 to 1/6 of a tank). Is there any way to fix this? Thanks, Ryan

What it your eggsplorers average mile per gallon? I get 14-15 for my 94 xlt, is this low? Thanks,' Ryan

94 XLT with 122,000 miles on it Never had to replace any none necessary things, Just the usual checks, oil, filters, etc. I have spent less money on my explorer than any other car I have owned. The only prob is the gas mileage, currently 14-15 miles per gallon. ~ryan

I went and bought some power steering fluid today at checkers(rudest service I've ever had). Anyway, I got home and looked in the '94 explorer book and it said that youhad to have a certain steering fluid manufactured by ford. The question is will the stuff I got work? I purchased pyroil...

This probably has been posted somewhere in this site recently, but since I am new I will pop the question again. Is it worth it getting a flowmaster exhaust for an explorer, anyone have one? Any other cheap mods you can recommend? Thanks, Ryan
