You did the Tstat, still could be bad. Gotta mount them with little hole facing up to help air bleed... but.. If you didn't add enough coolant then temp gauge sensor will not read coolant temp and heat from coolant won't get to heater core. Since you have both issues, I'd make sure coolant is...

Very cool! I had 337000 when I sold my First Gen. Of course that trani was a Ford mistake. I had it rebuilt 3 times. Can't rework a Pinto trani and stuff it in a SUV. Never used synthetic oil. Always DINO oil 3000 mile oil changes.

Very cool!

Sounds like bad U joints.

yup, you nailed it. called my friend, he already did some digging. I guess he will be pulling the engine to get to the rear chain

slightly noisy on startup but not what i would expect from a bad timing chain tensi0ner or something like that. 'slipped camshaft'? not sure what that means. slipped as in jumped the chain a tooth?

hi folks.. it's been a long time since I posted. I sold my '99 explorer so I have been visiting and trying to help but not posting questions. Asking for a friend. '04 explorer V6 getting codes for random missfires, all on bank 1. also getting codes for Rich system on bank 1 and Lean running...

here's a stupid question: are you sure your rear brakes aren't dragging? Emergency brake cable rusted and hanging up?

OBDI Of course.. sorry. Front Seal.. for some vehicles they sell a very very thin 'bushing' to put over the groove. In other cars the Timing Cover has enough room where you can get away with not bottoming out the seal so it rides on a fresh section of the Damper.

Not sure if this Generation has both a crank and cam sensor. If it only has the crank sensor then it is possible for the Cam to be off a tooth ( if the Chain was ever tampered with). With only the Crank sensor, there would not be an OBDII code seeing teh cam and crank relationship is off. A Cam...

To help in locating one, they are the same as is on the 1/2 ton Chevy vehicles. E-bay "1/2 ton spindle nut .. plenty to choose from http://www.ebay.com/itm/KD-Tools-4-Lug-4WD-Spindle-Nut-Socket-1-2-Ton-GM-Dana-50-3937-/330688695567?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cfe950d0f#ht_2045wt_1027...

Yes support that socket, it does want to walk out. I have never found that shielded style. I was going to weld a sleeve over mine. never did

The front Hubs/axles and driveshaft do not unlock on all 4WD vehicles anymore. in fact many Dodges went back to the 1940's where their Front diff and Driveshaft still spins/ Only the Transfer case disengages 4WD . Terrible gas mileage and lots of wear and tear on parts that aren't working...

Just tight enough so the tires do not have an up and down or side to side movement. Then the washer with the holes will lock that nut from turning. The outer nut you can hammer home pretty good since that acts as a pinch nut. Take note that the two nuts are NOT the same. The Inner nut has a...

While the nozzle was disconnected, Should have ran the Washer for a second to pump out whatever crapola was in the hose forced air back down teh nozzle would have been best

The Voltmeter in the dash is a joke, you need a Multi meter at the battery

My '91 4WD got a very consitant 20MPG. One of the last vehicles that still have fully unlocking hubs, At the Hub. unlike many that keep te half shafts spinning. I would check or replave the Fuel pressure regulator. When the diaphragm splits a bit, the engine appears to run fine but gas...

Nice job... Nice fast diagnosis by ARCO777 This is a typical Multi function switch issue.

have the car turned off for about an hour. Put the muti m,eter across the battery terminals. Should read about 12.5 volts. Start teh car. If the Alternator and battery are happy the Meter should read 13.5 - 14V. It's very possible your 'new' battery lost a cell. New batteries are not as...

I put 336K miles on my '91 and I didn't do half of that and it was running great when I sold it for $1500. I'd look at other things. Brake line rust ( Rear , Drivers side) Front axle and driveshaft 'U' joints, raer axle seals... stuff like that. P.S. this was my long range runner. This car...

Thermostat running a bit cold. that was my problem No code shown

Ok there is a bit of confusion... Is your X 4WD or 2WD? It sounds liek the 2WD cars have castle nuts and cotter pins where the 4WD cars have a nut that you do not make tight ( it will bind up teh Bearing) but it will not back off if the Small 'Keeper' is in place.

If teh car wont start... have someone try to start it and punch teh bottom of teh gas tank.. Usually that will convince a dying pump to spin up

Is it something simple like the small Keeper fell out of the Spindle nut and it loosened up a bit?

I bought my '99 for way cheap because of a random No Start. $16 for a new Fuel Pump relay and it has been great for many years now.
