I was considering herculining my factory running boards, rocker panels (up to the body trim) and bumpers with herculiner. I would like the runningboards to be textured for added grip but I would like the rocker panels and bumper to be smooth. I like the idea of protecting and blacking out the...

I did a search and did not find what I was looking for. I remember a post on this board about rear antilock brakes not working and there being a sensor on the rear brakes that detects when the brakes are about to lock. Can someone tell me (pics would be even better) where this sensor is...

Ok, so Im on my third fuel pump relay. Sometimes when shutting the engine off it works as it should, sometimes it "hangs" for a few seconds (1-15 sec.), but lately with the cold weather Ive had to resort to opening the hood and giving it a whack bafore it will disengage. All wiring seems intact...

I had my transmission rebuilt about 9 months ago and all seemed fine, but the last few days Ive noticed that it is slipping on really cold days. Today I put it in reverse to back out of my driveway and it sat there while the engine revved. I put it in park for a few minutes and let the truck...

While checking under the hood today I noticed my over-flow container for coolant was almost empty. So I filled the container with antifreeze to the "fill to this line when cool" line. After I took it for a lengthy drive (about 50 miles) I checked again and the coolant level looked like it...

My truck has an axle code of 43, which in my book states its the ford conventional axle with 3.08 ratio. I was out in the snow today and noticed that when hitting the accelerator BOTH rear wheels were looking for traction. I thought this axle did not have traction lock, or am I confused...

Seems like Im one of the few people on the site with a 2WD drive X. I was wondering how many of us on the site drive 2WD and who they are. Also, does anyone have pics, either to post or on a website of your 2WD drive "offroad adventures".

Ok i've searched and searched but cant seen to figure out which k&m filter I need for my 91XLT. Also if you have a pic of the install I would be very appreciative.

Just finished repairing the armrest in my 91XLT. My kid climbed through the space between the front seats and stood on the armrest causing the plastic to snap. Heres how I did it. 1. Slide front seats forward for better access to the armrest screws. 2. Remove caps that cover the screws and...

OK, so I read a thread on locating the MAF sensor on my 91XLT...now for the life of me I cant find the thread. EXACTLY where is this sensor on my truck? There is a sensor that sits on top of the air filter housing between the housing and the air intake hose. It has 4 wires and is labled...

Does anyone have recomendations for good engine degreasing products, techniques or tricks to make the job easier? My 91 XLT has had so many leaks (due to very poor maintenance by the previous owners) that its hard to see where the leaks are coming from. Im sure it is also a VERY bad idea to...

I own a 91 XLT and in the last 1 1/2 years I've been having problems with the fuel pump relay. The first one started sticking, but would eventually shut off (after about a minute), this was before I knew about the relay. After it failed open (stayed on all night) and drained the battery I...

Im the proud owner of a stock 1991 2WD explorer. I do alot of surf fishing on the delaware beaches and was wondering if venturing out on the sand was asking for trouble. My truck is poor at best during even the lightest of snow storms and even has a tendency to slip and slide in the rain (the...

I think my 1991 explorer is in need of a new starter. I say this because when I turn the ignition key there is a single click sound then nothing. Checked the battery and cables and all seems fine. Does this sound like a starter problem? Is there anything else I should be checking before buying a...
