Hi, I wired a ham radio to my truck a couple years ago. It's wired directly to the battery, so it's always on unless I turn it off. I would like to have it come on when my truck comes on though. What's the best way to add a new relay to do this? I'm figuring to use the existing wiring from...

Hi everyone and happy new year, My applique fell off in the carwash the other day. Fortunately it's still in one piece, and not a scratch on it. I don't think it's the original applique as there's a bunch of epoxy and double sided tape stuck to the back of my truck. I'm figuring I'll...

Truck is 2004 Explorer EB V8. For Christmas this year, my wife got me a nice mobile ham rig. (For those interested, it's an Icom ID-880h). I'm super excited about getting this thing installed, however, I can't figure out how to get power from the battery into the cab. I've read a few posts...

This truck has 135,000 miles on it, and appears to be in excellent condition. Of course, time will tell if there's anything hidden, but so far so good. Is there anything specific I should examine on it? Common issues with this model that might not be obvious? There's couple things I've...

I'm looking at the Firestone Destination A/T (30x9.5) for my 1994 Sport. Has anyone used these? My concerns are ride quality on highway & handling on icy roads. As far as offroad,, I don't do it much, but if an occasion arises, I'd like to be ready to say yes. Thanks

I'm getting an odd vibration. The faster I'm going the more noticeable it is. It's detectable at about 45 mph. It seems to happen when there's no stress between the transmission and engine, such as when I press the clutch. It also happens when I'm traveling down the highway with just...

I'm sure this is a simple question for one more knowledgeable than I. I was working on my rear brakes yesterday, and noticed a host connected to the drivers side of my rear axle going on up somewhere above my spare tire. I intended to follow it after I was done working on my brakes, but...

This happened a couple times last winter, but each times resolved itself quickly. Anyway, my truck sat for 4 days this weekend, while I was home lazy. When I was headed out for work this morning though, my parking brake wouldn't disengage. The peddle popped out as expected, but put the...

Hi, I'm researching the part I need for this. Ran into some confusion. I've been lead to 2 part numbers: 9c915 - Genuine Ford 9U5Z-9C915-H Vapor Canister Purge Valve Assembly & CX1158 - Motorcraft CX1158 Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid I'm wondering if they're 2 versions of the same...

I have only 2 complaints about my '94 sport. I'll tolerate the fact that the rear seat only seats 2 passengers, but I'm hoping I can do something to smooth out the ride. That short wheel base means I feel every nook and cranny in the road, and if you've ever been to Colorado Springs I don't...

Anyone know how to replace the clip that connected the external door handle shaft with the internal parts. Not just how to replace it, but where to find it? I've opened it up and tried to reconnect it, but it seems to be broken (not that I can see it well), but I couldn't simply reconnect it...

I'll apologize in advance for this lengthy story, but it might shed some light on what's going on. Just under a year ago, I had my trans rebuilt (It's a 5-speed for the '94 sport). Apparently, these are good transmissions, but there are 3 rubber seals in the top that wear out, fall out, then...

Here in Colorado, we had some cold/icy weather the last couple weeks. With some roads fine, and others icy, I decided to run around with my hubs locked so I could have push button 4wd capability. Everything seemed to work just fine, when others were stuck going up hills, I had no problems...

I have a '94 sport that's nearly completely stock. I like this truck, engine is solid, tranny (5-speed) recently rebuilt. I trust it to get me to and fro. The problem, is that I'd like something a bit more rugged, this rig is stock if you don't count the manual hub locks. My options are...

Need to get some tires for the first time in my explorer. I remember a few years back a whole bunch of drama between ford & firestone about tires causing rollovers and such. I figured this was mostly just that....drama, but as I start researching, it appears tire companies want you to call or...

So, I've got a couple codes 327 - EGR Valve 565 - Canister Purge Solenoid Valve The EGR valve - I know where it is. Is this something I should remove and clean, then be prepared to replace if that don't work, or does this code point to something specific I should look at? Canister...

When I picked up this truck, the best I could get is 3 wheel drive. Sounds cool, but really isn't. BTW, it's mostly stock, the only mod I can tell it has is the manual hub conversion and some aftermarket shocks, but no lift. It's the passenger side that won't engage, and what I noticed is...

OK, I've been getting some noise out of my front end. It's weird, happens when I'm 30+ mph, usually when I'm putting a little rightward pressure on the steering wheel. What's funny about it, is that sometimes it happens when when the pressure is to the left, not the right. It's unpredictable...

The other day, I noticed my '94 explorer sport getting warmer than normal. Then it would drop back down. In another moment, it would be back up toward the top. It wasn't going beyond the normal range, but approaching it. I checked the coolant level, it was low...about 1 gallon low. I topped...

I have a 1994 Explorer Sport. I wanted to find out why 4 wheel drive won't engage, so I removed the front wheels & hub locks to find that the front passenger axle does not stick out far enough to engage the hub. The auto hub locks were replaced with manual locks, but I don't think they're part...

Hey all, I'm trying to pull a transmission from a '91 explorer so I can stick it in my '94. I thought I did all the right research, but I got to the pick n pull place and couldn't get the drive shafts removed. It looks like the shaft is bolted to the transfer case with 4 bolts, but they're not...

My Trans blew up on me last night. I wasn't doing anything, going about 65 on the freeway, nothing special. Anyway, money is tight, so I'm hoping to pick one up from a pick and pull for about $100. My truck is a '94 Explorer Sport, 3.5L, 5-Speed, 4x4 (push button). I believe it's all...
