Guys... Hopefully someone can give me their opinion on this one. Here is copied text to 2 CL ads for it... It is 4 hours from me. It would be a daily driver type vehicle for me. I have about $2000 or so to pick something up to drive for a while. The big questions I...

Guys, I am just red with anger, reading about all of these issues, TSBs, recalls, repairs, etc. I have an '02 XLT with a 4.0 and Auto4wd. My wife just HAD to have this thing a few years ago, and I signed my a$$ away to buy it for her. I still owe on it, and have recently put it back on...

Hello all. I posted here for the first time in a while a few days ago. I am in a predicament with too many crap vehicles, one of them being an '02 XLT. Quick history, I became a member years ago, when I had a first gen 2 door. I loved that thing, but wound up getting rid of it for the...

I haven't posted here in years, I am a member from waaaay back. I actually still wear my faded, tattered explorer4x4 shirt from back in like '02 or '03. Anyways, I am looking at this bronco II as a daily driver. It is a '90 XLT, with 5 sp and manual 4wd. Supposedly the 2.9 was rebuilt...

I tried searching for some info about these codes and was not very successful. Maybe somebody can point me towards a thread that covers how to repair, or tell me what to do next..... Svc. Engine Soon light came on and I had AutoZone read the codes for me a while back, here's what they said...

I have the aluminum 5 spoke wheels, I think they are 16x7. Is that right? Does anyone know what the backspacing is? I am asking because I want to fill my wheel wells up with rubber. I am wondering if the general consesus of 265/75 is the biggest on those wheels without damage/rubbing or...

ive got a 94 2 door 4wd...looking to trade in for a newer suv. i have a 02 explorer xlt 4.0 control trac on loan from somewhere. 78k miles... the only other thing i noticed was axle code 45. are there any issues with this model someone can tell me about without having to read 50...

I am not a mechanic, I have never worked on a transmission before. I need advice and help. A few weeks ago, my transmission started acting up. after it got warm it would only want to start in 2nd gear. If I floored it, first gear would engage, but only then. I had it looked at by aamco...

ok. i have a little problem. i need some expert advice/opinions with it. my rig is older, has over 125,000 miles, etc. i have noticed a little noise coming from under the hood during acceleration usually from a stop. its kind of like a pinging noise or a high pitched knocking. it only...

my kid slammed the door so hard on wife's car that he knocked the cable system that operates the window out of whack. the window is inoperable. i could not get the cable back on the pulley, so i have used a few zipties to hold the window locked in the closed position. how in the heck do i go...

ugh!! i decided i was going to try to see how easily i could loosen the nuts on the front shocks, to see if i could tackle changing them out myself with hand tools. on the front driver's side, i put a ratchet on the bottom shock mount, barely torqued on it, and sheared the stud off that is...

do air shocks like the gabriel hi-jackers work well on explorers? i was just wondering.......i thought i could gain a little bit of lift (front and back) with these, or at least get it back up to stock height from spring sag?

i have been adding about 1/2 quart of trans fliud every week for a little while now. its burning it right off somewhere. i don't see any leak looking from underneath. i dont really know where to look specifically, but there's no wet spots or anything obvious. anyways, it smokes off the...

i know all explorer's rims are 5 on 4.5. does anyone know the dimension of f150 rims? i am trying to see if my buddy's 98 f150 wheels will fit on my xsport

my 94 xsport idles like a racing piss horse. there is a vacuum hose or something missing. i need some help, please! i'm going tto try to explain what i've found. on the throttle body (or maybe intake?) towards the back (near firewall), there's a threaded hole with a fixture screwed into...

i have the a4ld automatic. recently, in the cooler weather, i've noticed that my transmission has been acting kind of funny. when i back out of my driveway, and then shift into forward gear, it takes a minute to engage. it does this until its warmed up, i guess. when i roll to a stop at...

i am looking at some black steel wheel for my rig. they are 15 x 8 , 5 on 4.5" with 3.75" of backspacing. i have no lift, and 31 x 10.5's with no rubbing right now on my stock 15 x 7's with 4.5" of backspace. seems like if the whole assembly "moves out" .75", it won't affect anything...

okay. here's the deal... i went to work this morning, no problem. engine ran fine. check engine light came on as it usually does. i have been to autozone to have them check it, but since it is a 94, they can't read the code. the light comes on sometimes, but not always. anyways, i...

okay, the other night i was taking notes from a thread and the tablet i was writing on was kind of resting on my keyboard. it must have pressed a few keys, maybe a combination of some sort. the text only on this site is now much bigger. is there a command to zoom or enlarge the font that i do...

i want to mount some auxillary back up lights. i have it all figured out, i mean how to do it. i saw these bulbs, though. they are 50 watt or 55 watt replacement backup bulbs. do they work well? anybody got them?

i shut my x off earlier, and everything was fine. i came out of my buddy's house and fire it up, and i've got a problem with electronics. here's what does work (that i noticed) headlights and taillights, power windows, dash lights, dome light and door lights. here's what doesn't: power...
