After 26 years, I decided to give up my 1991 Explorer. I bought it new in '91, and it has served me well all these years. Every time I drove the Ford I felt it was unsafe. Aggressive drivers treated me differently than when I drove my wifes newer car. It needed lots of work to get it...

I am on my third driver seat adjustment bracket purchased on Ebay motors for my '91 XLT Explorer. All of these brackets have just one recline position detent, or it releases to full forward. What am I missing? There should be at least three position slots. Right now my driving position is to...

I suggest inspection on the condition of the spare tire, the winch, and the winch cable. Once a year, I drop my spare and unfurl the winch cable to the stop. The tire is always extremely grimy and under inflated, so I wash and scrub it good at the DIY car wash, then treat it with a tire...

My power door lock switch on my '91 suddenly developed a problem. The driver side switch will lock all doors, but when pressed to unlock, there is no actuation. The passenger door lock switch does the same thing. It locks the door but the unlock makes no actuator sound. Why would both unlock...

What is the cause of one spark plug fouling? The plug on the right was removed from the middle cylinder, right bank. All other plugs from remaining cylinders looked like the one on the left. The residue is a chalky gray/white corrosion.

I did a thread search on 17" wheel upgrades for my 1991 XLT 4WD, but I did not find many threads. The front hubs always present an fit issue. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good looking but retro style 17" alloy wheel. I may replace with NOS 15" 5-hole reproduction alloys to top off a...

Just a note for the forum. I had my annual Texas vehicle inpection done for the first time since the mods on my 91 Explorer XLT. The mods are a KKN cold air intake, Magnaflow High Flow Cat, and Magnaflow Catback exhaust. It failed due to high NOx, almost double the limit. My mechanic thought...

I did an oil change and switched to Amsoil 10w-30....nice product. I could tell while pouring it in that the flow and consistency appeared better than any oil I have ever used. My X runs and idles sooo smooth after. I will see if there is an increase in mileage. I also dropped the tranny pan and...

Hey group, new to the modified forum...mostly lurking in the stock forum. Today, I had a Magnaflow high flow catalytic converter and Magnaflow exhaust system installed on my 1991 XLT 4WD. What an amazing difference!! So far, I have only done some city driving and the computer may need about...

I just test drove my 1991 Explorer XLT 4WD after installing front and rear Bilstein shocks. I bought this truck new in '91 and with these new shocks, this is the best it has ever driven. Tight turns and feel, authoritative steering, no lean, quiet ride, and drives like it's on rails. There...

I am the original owner of my 1991 Ford Explorer XLT 4X4. It has been one of the best vehicles I have owned, and I have kept it very well maintained. But, I have searched through this forum and have seen numerous owners with similar poor performance, low mileage, pinging and knocking under...
