So the other night my truck caught fire. I was driving home from work and got gas and about half way home I had a strong smell of gas from somewhere i couldn't figure out. Pulled into my driveway and got out to see what it was, reached through the driver front fender to see if I could find a...

So after replacing many parts now I'm at a loss. My truck decided to not start the other day and I have no spark. I am gettin fuel however. I have replaced coil packs, plug wires, plugs, crank position sensor, camshaft position sensor and checked all fuses and relays. I'm at a total loss...

So I'm in the market to replace/ rebuild my engine as I have just over 220k miles and I'm starting to develop a slight knock. I was wondering if I swapped a good running block from an 89 mustang gt, would I be able to use my edis system, heads, etc. so I can get away from the carb and...

Ok so I have a minor problem... I broke the longest bolt off to my water pump when I was changing it. It's one on the far right on the pump. It snapped inside at the threads. How much am I going to have to tear apart to get the threaded section out? Also is it possible to drill/tap for slightly...

Does anybody know if you can put the suspension components from a ranger onto an explorer? I want to get the front lift kit for a ranger if it will fit cause its much cheaper than purchasing a lift kit for the explorer. Are there any noticeable differences? And, if no one has done this...

So my truck just started this new annoying trend. While I am backing up I will get a rather annoying groan if I have the wheel turned. It doesn't do it while the wheel is straight but as I turn the wheel it will do it and gets worse the further/ closer I get to the bump stops. It doesn't do it...

So while searching for rebuild kits I have come acrossed an option for use of stock oil pump or a high volume oil pump. My question is would it be better to go with a high volume oil pump or just stick with the stock oil pump(replacement). ...The website I'm looking to get my kit...

So I'm just curious. I have seen people running tires like 33x16.5x15 and was wondering, where the hell do they buy these tires?!? I have searched almost everywhere that I know of and the widest I have found is 13.5 wide. Right now I'm running 12.5 wide but whenever these tires wear out I would...

Is it possible to put the front seats from a 3rd gen 4 door into a 2nd gen? I have searched and found nothing so far.

Has anyone ever tried using a suspension lift kit for the ranger on their explorer? I have been looking the kits over and a majority of the parts look the same, just different kit numbers. Just trying to see if there is a suspension lift kit for 4" worth of lift for less then $2K.

So has anybody ever figured out a belt that doesn't make so much noise. My belt screams at me with the slightest moisture. I believe the belt I am using is a goodyear but not positive on that. Also the lower idler pulley seems to like to be the one that gives up the most, I believe I have...

OK so I know my truck is far from stock as a whole but the engine is still very much stock, aside from the k&n filter. Here is my problem, my truck has 205,x.. miles on it right now and is misfiring intermittently. My wife and I have replaced plugs, wires, the suspected coil pack, and sprayed...

Ok so I'm trying to figure out what has worked and what hasn't. I want to learn from other peoples experiences before I dive into throwing a snorkel on my X. I have the 5.0 AWD and was wondering if anybody else with a 5.0 has done this. Everywhere I look I find people have done it with the 4.0...

So I just bought my wife her own 06 xlt with a v6 and everytime she starts it it seems like its going to idle out then revs up to about 1500 and after about 5 minutes it kinda smoothens out. Other problem, not sure if related, while driving down the highway at about 55, occasionally it will...

I was wondering if anyone has any pics of a bare frame for the 95-01 V8 explorer. A picture with the drive train on the frame would be best(preferably from front or rear view) . I'm trying to find a good pic so I can draw out where I want my exhaust to run(dual exhaust). Currently my X has a...

Is it normal for the compressor to kick on and off no matter what setting I have the heat on? It doesn't matter what I set the heat to wether it be the hottest or coldest or what ever setting I set it in(face, foot, face/foot, foot/defrost or defrost) the a/c compressor constantly kicks on and...

Hey all. New to the Explorer Forum, not new to explorers though. Been a member on TRS for a short while also as I previously owned a ranger but just got rid of it. Well enough of my intro and on to my question. To start my X is a 99 XLT 5.0 AWD lifted 3" body and 2 inch tt/shackle...
