    Passenger Power Window

    Once upon a time, all my power windows and moonroof quit working... Up until that time, I had experienced intermittent problems with ONLY the pasenger side window: sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I had my local mechanic fix the "they all don't work" problem, and everything was fine for...

    ?'s about factory subwoofer & replacement

    Hey guys - I'm a longtime forum member, but haven't posted in a looong while; Still driving around in my '95EB, running good with 182,000 on the clock. Didn't think I'd still have her, but she's running good and I've put about $2,000 in her this year. Hoping to hang on to the truck another...

    Door Ajar Light Question

    Hey guys - Been a long while since I've been on here, but it's good to see nothings changed. Still got my Ex - 180K miles on her, and still running good. OK, down to business. Out of the blue, my door ajar light came on but none of my doors were ajar. It's playing games with me now...

    Bizarre window problem

    Yo guys - Haven't been around in a while. I guess that's cuz my '95 Explorer is still running so damn well! So listen to this - I've got a 95 Eddie with pwr windows and the moonroof. About a month ago I noticed both my 4WD lights flashing. Oddly enough, none of the windows would roll down...

    My new ride

    I just love my Explorer, but one drive in this thing re-fueled my lust for speed. Picked her up on Good Friday, and I've been loving it since. I decided to keep my Explorer since it's paid for. Now I've got the summer ride, and the every-other-time ride.

    Intake manifold vaccuum leak

    I've been getting a very intermittant CEL. Today while I was having my oil changed, I had my mechanice throw the computer on it to diagnose. Results came back that the engine was running lean as the result of a vaccuum leak---which they say could quite possibly be in the intake manifold. A...

    Torque Converter?

    Here's what's up: It was pretty cold here last night----I've noticed that my trans seems to hold gears longer when it's cold, and once it's warm, it shifts normally. Last night, 1st drive all day, it shifted 1-2 fine, and then from 2-3, it kind of hung....almost like it suddenly lost 20% of...

    Is my alternator dying?

    Guys-- Last night I was on my way home from Atlantic City---it's a 50 mile drive from there to my place. It seemed as though my headlights/instrument lights weren't as bright as they usually are. I looked at my Volt meter and the needle was on the Low side....not totally at L, but lower than...

    Playing with Seats

    Ok, I've got two things I'd like to do. Well, really 1, but involves 2 reasons. I'd like to swap out my front seats for newer heated ones. Reason A) My driver's seat gets a lot of ass---mostly mine---and it's starting to look a little beat. Not THAT bad, but it's grey leather so it's starting...

    Power rating of JBL speakers

    I've got the JBL stereo in my Eddie Bauer. I'm pretty picky about audio, but I've been pretty happy with what the JBL stereo with the sub has pumped out. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the power to keep me happy at highway speeds with the windows open. AND, I've only got a cassette deck, not the...

    Options for more front lift

    Hey guys...On my truck I did a shackle/double AAL lift out back and a TT up front. The truck settled a little bit in the back, but I still sit pretty raked. I'd like to even it out a little bit...say about 1.5 to 2.0 more inches up front. I did a search on options with regard to the TT, but...

    Coil Spacers?

    Hey guys...quick question. I did a TT/Shackle/Double AAL lift on my 95 EB. I'm currently running 32's with no rubbing on pavement, but a little bit off road (albeit some trimming). My truck's sitting fairly raked, and I'd like to level it out a bit, but still keep a little bit of that raked...

    4Speed or 5Speed? You tell me!

    At this point I should probably know this, but was a 5 speed automatic trans at all available on 1995 models? I strongly assume that I have the A4LD, but I swear I feel 5 gears in there. Can anyone tell me how I'd know for SURE what trans I've got...and/or explain why I "feel" five gears? Am...

    Chipping an F-350 Diesel

    My best friend has an '03 F-350 with the turbo diesel...absolutely beautiful truck, and quite quick I might add. He's looking to chip it to get a big HP gain. Can anyone recommend a good chip set up to make this happen? Any price range is fine....thanks!

    Finally! My new shoes!

    This is a happy day. Finally, I've gotten done with what I've set out to do (so far, at least!). After completing the TT/Shackles/DBL AAL, I was able to order my tires and rims: Pro Comp AT 32's on some 589's. I had originally wanted BFG's....badly. But Sk1er17 talked me out of those, saying...

    Question about ControlTrac

    I searched this one out, but couldn't find a direct answer. I've got a 1995 EB 4x4 and it has ControlTrac. What exactly is ControlTrac? I've been reading here that it manipulates power output to the front and rear wheels, but is this something it does only when it's in 4 wheel drive? Or, does...

    Bhults's 95 Eddie

    How I got here: I became a registered user of Serious Explorations back in August of 2003. Initially, I had been searching Yahoo! to see if I could find any performance parts for my Explorer. I stumbled upon Explorer4x4.com, and the rest is history. As I began to peruse the many threads...

    Advice on Trimming

    I've heard an awful lot about trimming, and I'm now at that stage in the game where I'm gonna have to do some. I've completed a TT/Shackle/Double AAL lift and I just ordered 32's on 15 inch rims. I test fit these tires courtesy of Matt (Sk1er17), and found that I'm gonna experience a little...

    Resonating Noise at 30mph

    I just installed my double add-a-leaves this weekend, with warrior shackles. I noticed today that while driving between 30-34 MPH, I get this resonating sound thru the cabin...once I'm above 34 MPH it's gone. Below 30 and it's not there. If I stay between these speeds, the noise stays. I...

    Am I ready?

    Ok, now the fun can begin. Just got done doing double AAL's this weekend. Also have the TT with alignment done, shackles and 4 new Rancho 5000's installed. I'm about set to order some 32's (with just a little trimming to do up front. Question: Is there anything I need to be concerned with with...

    Caps

    Ok, so after having the X for almost a year now, I'm going into withdrawl from not having a bangin' system as I did with my other ride. I've priced out a pretty slick system with components from Eclipse, JL, Boston Acoutics, and MB Quartz all coming together with custom sub enclosures, etc...

    I'm not new, but...

    ...what the heck is this demented envelope that keeps showing up next to my posts? Everyone else has a regular envelope that either shows new posts, no new posts, viewed alot posts (the on fire ones), but I've got this one that looks like theres a bullet hole thru it. And every thread I comment...

    Vacuum Lines

    Can anyone PLEASE tell me how the vacuum lines that control the HVAC system run in the 2nd gens? I'm stuck on defrost no matter what I press, here, and from the searching I've done, it sounds 90% like the vacuum lines. I understand 2nd gens don't have a vacuum canister....haven't seen one...

    HVAC

    Have the dash apart, trying to fix my HVAC...thought it was the blend door, but it looks like the top of the plenum is intact---where the pin on the actuator fits in. A) does the pin on the actuator rotate each time a different selection is made on the HVAC? B) My EATC just threw code 25...what...

    Where are the...

    ...vacuum lines that serve the HVAC system. I think they might be the cause of my HVAC sending air only to the defrost vents. How do you check them?
