    Where to get inside door handles

    Is there somewhere besides a dealer to get inside door handles for a 92 XLT? These are the handles used to unlatch and open the door, not to grab and close the door or the armrests.

    Need a reliable Harmonic Balancer source

    Thanks for the reality check. I'll go ahead and get a Dorman and install it myself. I'm going to pull the radiator and replace it while I'm under there too.

    Shop type drawings of door latch mechanism

    My 92 was broken into a while back and I'm looking for drawings or pictures of how the door linkages align and attach. My aftermarket manuals don't show much.

    Need a reliable Harmonic Balancer source

    I've watched this balancer outer ring slowly slide back. Its about 9 months old. I see that Autozone and O'Reilly have Pioneer and Dorman. Pioneer is over $200 and the Dorman is $89. I don't mind paying for a good one if there is a difference. The Pioneer has a Ford OEM number if that means...

    Need a reliable Harmonic Balancer source

    I've had real fun with the Dorman OEM harmonic balancer that the local repair garage put in the 92 XLT. Is there a better brand available from local parts stores? I'm a little afraid of the junkyard models due to possible damage...although they would have to be better than the one on the...

    94 explorer axle codes

    Do these numbers also cover 92? I keep finding good stuff in this 92 project and a 3.73 Limited Slip would be a nice addition. It has D4 in the door tag. Already has a trans cooler and the trans shifts well. Just needs Radius Arm bushings, a new fuel gauge float and I need to replace the...

    92 XLT eating serp belts

    92 XLT that used to eat serp belts I got tired of the too many replacements of the belts. The belts always had the front rib chewed off. I went to the local AZ and got the same length belt that was just over a mm narrower and the problem has gone away.

    I've been looking for a project car for a while and had one right under my nose all the time.... I have a 92 XLT 4 door 2wd I'd like to make more reliable and useful. One thing I've seen in some pictures here is a drink cup holder thats been added to the existing console. Where are...

    Door for 92 Explorer with electric etc.

    Some fine citizens broke into my 92 XLT 4 door for the radio. :mad: They completely hashed the sheet metal around the lock on the outside and mangled the mechanisms in the door. Is there a good Pick Your Part like location in North Texas for Explorer doors?

    92 XLT eating serp belts

    This pump's had a nagging little leak for a while so I don't mind replacing it. I haven't tried anything more than looking at the balancer when running to see if it shifts when reving. Mike

    92 XLT eating serp belts

    Funny you should say that....thanks for the info. I'm sure this is learned firsthand and with frustrations. The power steering pulley has about a 1/16 to 1/8 end play. the pulley is also chewed up a little on the forward part of the grooves where it hold the belt in place. I know the...

    92 XLT eating serp belts

    I have a 92 Explorer XLT thats eating drive belts. I've replaced the idler pulley and the tensioner assembly. A year ago I replaced the harmoni balancer. I'm wondering if I have crappy aftermarket idler and tensioner or cheap drive belts or both... Any one else have this problem and fixed...

    Where to start on a stock 4.0 OHV

    I want to help out a 1992 4.0 OHV a little. My wife drives it mostly and she won't tolerate the loud sounds and I have to keep the driveablilty reasonable. My first guesses are air intake and a cat back system. I've already pulled the resonator. Mike

    Belt, balancer or tensioner?

    When I put the belt on yesterday I moved the tensioner with a 12 inch 3/8 drive ratchet, one handed. I think there lies the problem, a worn out tensioner. Thanks for all the help guys. Mike

    Belt, balancer or tensioner?

    Hi all, these forums are lifesavers. I have a 92 XLT pushrod 4.0L. Seems to go through a serpentine belt once a year which I can live with. The last belt was about two months and it began to fray on the front edge. I changed it today. When I started the motor the belt is hanging up on...
