Unbelievable. I still have an account and remembered my password. My last post appears to have been in May 2002 after I sold my 1992 Explorer. Had the dreaded A4LD transmission issues with that one. Looking to pick up a late 90s or early 00s Ranger or B series with the 4.0L so I figured I may...

Just wanted to say thanks to all on this site for your help. I found a lot of great information here hopefully was able to help a few myself. Sadly, it was time to sell and the wife wanted a mini-van for her and our son, with another on the way. I told her the plates should read NEUTRED...

1FMDU34X5NUD93939 Thanks for checking the number if you can get to it. I would be suprised to know what is says since it used to have a salvage title, but has mysteriously disappeared from my current title. :chug: email is drstroud@yahoo.com Thanks again.

Alec, thanks for the info. I will check ebay. rob54b, I can't find anything on the JCWhitney site...any help? :chug:

Thank you. I'll call Torrie and check ebay.

Last week someone was oh so kind to take my hub caps from my factory directional wheels. Of course, they did not take the one that was missing the brushed aluminum cover. A week or so before this happend, I noticed another explorer with hub caps that had some sort of allen wrench securing...

I am loosing coolant and I cannot figure out where? I have new hoses, clamps, thermostat, water pump, heater core, and none of those places show any signs of leaking. My emissions was tested and the guy was really impressed for 10 year old X. There is no leaking on the ground. Can't figure...

Over the last few days, I have been getting a bad shake when I hit around 65 mph. The alignment is fine; I let go of the steering wheel and it tracks straight. Sometimes when I go around curves at hwy. speeds, the shakes seem to go away. The ball joints were recently replaced and the tires...

I am an expert at this subject. I am on my 4th tranny with the last put in at 95,000 miles or so. All three have been in the $2000-$2300 range. So from my experience, I think you are right in line considering the higher cost by going through the dealer. Hey Forest...how long have you lived...

I just had Big O Tires replace my upper and lower joints with Moog parts. With the alignment, the total came to just under $400. Did not want to mess with doing them myself.

Just be sure you can still use your visors and that they don't get in the way of the mirror or your vision behind you.

I am having a couple of problems with my drivers side front wheel. Sometimes when I press the brake, i hear a popping sound. Let go of the pedal and push again, it does the same thing. There is also a rattle from that same wheel when I go over bumps. As you know when you remove the...

Does anyone know which would be the correct size rotor for my X? Parts places online are showing two sizes: 2 1/2" or 2 11/16" overall height. Also, my manual does not say how to remove the rest of the hub so that I can remove the rotor. It just says remove the part...but how? And...

I am getting squeaking on my front disc brakes. Afte looking at the pads, determined they should be replaced. Figure I might as well do the rotors as well. Is rotor replacement difficult and do I need any special tools?

I have noticed the same sound on my 1992. I know that there is a cable (parking brake?) that sits under the drivers side that makes noise. Also, I am having my ball joints replaced tomorrow and they make a rattleing noise when i go over potholes. Check those items too.

16 in town and 20 on the highway, 106,000 miles.

Mike Boyle, how are the filters sold at the paved acreage of Wal-Mart different than what I could buy at Checker or AutoZone?

Is it just me or do I detect a sense of excitment with Gina? She has an X and she is in trouble now!

After all the tire problems with Firestone (just go tmy refund from Ford today) does anyone have any info on who makes what tires? This is more out of curiosity. I know Michelin makes BFGoodrich, Goodyear makes Big O...what about other tire brands....who actually makes them?

Just got my $550 check from Ford today. Turned in my tires to Ford on the day after Memorial Day.

My office recently received a 96 or 97 V8 AWD X with 65,000 miles from another office to use as a fleet vehicle. I was told before I drove it last night that it had serious problems. Does it ever. Problem 1: When driving at highway speeds and you move the steering wheel quickly, maybe 10...

I have a cracked flywheel as well and it is hanging in my garage to remind me of my third transmission that went out...on my fourth tranny now. The tranny place (Tanner - don't go there) did not replace it so the third tranny went out after 16,000 miles and it only had a 12,000 mile warranty...

My X has a howling as well and it shows when it is hot outside and I am using the ac. As for mine, I think it is the new fan clutch that I put in a month or so ago. I was told by a mechanic that the sound, at least in my case, was normal. Since the old fan clutch was old (105,000), I was used...

How hard is it to replace the EGR valve on a 1992 X? From what I hace read, this may be the culprit for my pinging. Switched gas, new plugs, wires, cleaned the MAF, and no change. I believe the EGR valve sits on the top of the engine, near the front, slightly to the passenger side...am I...
