    Looking to buy-need advice

    I'm looking to buy a second gen explorer and need some advice. Will be used as my dd and to pull a small pop up tent trailer every now and then. Must be 4x4 and would prefer 4 door. I need opinions of which motor to go with though. I think I'd prefer the sohc for power and fuel economy over...

    New trans pan not clearing old filter....

    About a month ago I bought a new pan for my C5 but it was originally for a C4. The new pan doesnt have that hump needed to clear the stock filter anymore and I can't decide the best solution for it. 1) I installed a remote filter when I did the pan so I have thought about not running the stock...

    Duff extended rad arms

    So I was going to install these the other day but I imediately ran into a problem. The arms need to mount about 3-4" further back than the tranny x-member and since the rad arm mounts double as the x-member mounts i'm screwed. Duff didn't list any break in the years that this would fit on...

    Wrong fluid in the tranny???

    Ok so my girlfriend bought a 94 explorer about 2 weeks ago. Just yesterday I got around to really checking it out (we've both been crazy busy the past couple of weeks...). Well I check the coolent, oil and brake fluid and all is well. Then as I pull up the tranny dip stick I become confused...

    Chewed up fan = hot tranny?

    I was flushing my radiator today and noticed my fan is chewed up pretty good. I'm thinking this may have played a big part in why my tranny has had such a hard time keeping cool. What do you guys think? Oh my engine has never had a cooling problem dispite the fan but I think that may be...

    Tranny temp guage

    I started to wire up my guage but I have a couple problems. It's a nordskog analog unit btw. 1) It gets power and sweeps to 280. This is obviously wrong. I'm guessing it's the ground. I grounded it on the back of the intake instead of the actual block. Could this be the problem? 2) I...

    Tranny spitting fluid out vent

    I'v been plaged by this for some time now and don't know what to do. I get on the free way, get it above 55 and eventually it starts puking fluid out the vent hose. Is there anything besides overfilling and overheating that could couse this? -James

    Odd tranny leak

    If I don't have a hose on the tranny vent would that cause the tranny to leak from their? When I'm on the freeway I start leaking fluid from somewhere around that vent but I'm not sure if it is coming from their or not. -James

    4.0L seems sluggish

    My 4.0 just doesn't seem to be pulling like it should, especially from a dead stop. I have good oil pressure and I plan on doing a compression test but what else can I look at to see if something is actually wrong or if it's just in my imagination... -James P.S. It's been sitting for about...

    Explorer 8.8" into Bronco II

    I know this is an explorer board but I'm sure you guys can help anyways. Okay everytime I get ready to get serious about swapping in my 8.8" something else always breaks (i.e. The engine fiasco and then last monday somehow a loom of wires got sucked up by my driveshaft that will probably cost...
