So if you follow my build thread, I took the explorer into the shop because that shift flare was scaring away everyone that were potential buyers. The shop told me "you need a new transmission". Even though it's rebuilt, they said that it wasnt rebuilt correctly and/or destroyed itself. He...

So you guys know me...I was here posting a thread about that stupid Explorer i was wrestling for a year. Slowly, and surely I replaced things here, repaired stuff there, even cut wires to make things go off. Anyways, 3 things left to do to make it 99%. To the tranny issues...here is the...

Replaced the transmission last yeara. Transfer case leaks like a sieve. It leaked a lot of fluid overnight after filling the tranny with fluid. It's the joint between the tranny and the t case. Gasket is new, but cheap paper crap. Thinking of just using rubber sealant and spraying away...thoughts?

I was filling my Explorer with tranny fluid and all the sudden a whole bunch just came out and its still going now. I have added about 6.5 litres of ATF and the overflow just belched a ton all over the place. WTH!!!!! What is going on? The hoses and metal cooler lines havent been touched for...

Vehicle:1996 Ford Explorer EB Problem was: Door ajar light and dome lights would stay illuminated for 30 minutes after doors were shut. (Drains the battery) FIX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os0Z5ocPMMQ The entire problem is insufficient grounding to the hatch. This might retire the use...

As most Explorers, my hood struts are out. I replaced some strong working hood struts from the junkyard and swappedthem out. They still dont work. hese were working fine before, why wouldn't they work now? eBay has them new for 20 or so bucks each. Worth it?

You guys know me I'm here so often. Anyways, The xplorer had a 3-4 flare, and the CEL said it was the Shift Solenoid 3. So I replaced it corectly. Now, the transmission is acting as if in limp mode. Starts out in 3rd gear when accelerating, slipping, all the rest of it. Now, CEL and OD light...

Where the heck do I find these little buggers? AutoZone didn't have them. They are type B(T4) bulbs, really smal weiners, so minor, I cannot find them? If I locate them, I holler on this thread. Also, are the MAP/rear Dome lights supposed to shut off when the doors are all closed? All 3 of...

1996 Ford Explorer 4.0 V6 4X4 EB 197,511 miles Transmission was rebuilt less than 100 miles ago and has had problems ever since. The transmission rebuilder came to bail me out in adjusting the bands. The trans is ALMOST PERFECT NOW, 90 percent! Only issue now is that there is a 1k RPM flare...

So, my project "Frankentranny II" (1996 EB) is ongoing till I get it as perfect as I can. Cluster lights and needles are out, except for the Tachometer needle and light. I know how to replace the plug-and-play cluster light bulbs. Type 194 or universals off of ebay should work long enough. I...

I did see the DIY by Glacier and the other guy, but I still don't have a full understanding on how it is done. Firstly, am I adjusting the intermidiate band, or the OD band? The Explorer slippes while the shift occurs from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd but nothing else at all. Secondly, where...

I'm helping out a friend and she has a 94 I think explorer with a V6 engine. COuld it be SOHC? Or is it pushrod? She needs to get the correct thermostat. Where can I find clues as to what engine is inside her Explorer? NEED HELP QUICK! :D Thanks!

THis sounds stupid, I know. I confirmed that the blend door actuator was working perfectly by taking it out, switching the knob A/C, and it would rotate. There is outdoors temp air coming through the vents throughout the Explorer. I stuck my hand where the actuator used to be and felt ice cold...

Even though the od light is flashing, the trans takes time to engage in a gear, and it won't kick down, the flashing od light wont five my obd2 code puller pull the answer. Please help... Also the only code that comes is p1451 which is evap purge valve solenoid fault.the entire system hn the...

What will happen? Will the tranny leak? Should it be hot to the touch?

Sorry to make another thread...just need some ideas quick... 1996 Ford Explorer 4.0 Eddie Bauer V6 4X4: 197k Transmission was just replaced a week ago by me. Rebuilt. Worked perfectly at first. Then slipped like crazy. Now it isn't slipping as bad... Problem: On top of the minor...

Lets talk emissions. I was looking underneath my Explorer the other day and noticed the charcoal canister was gone. There were just two emission lines and the Purge valve solenoid. (in half BTW) The charcoal canister is supposed to be located in the ear of the gas tank, and the purge valve...

I just put a rebuilt transmission in my 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4X4 4.0 V6. Has 197k and had 0 issues at idle before the trans swap under went. My problem: It will not turn over. Battery is fully charged, terminals are clean and tight, ect ect. I turn the key and I hear one tiny...

I have the tranny up and underneath the Explorer right now, but the trans alignment pins aren't engaging into the engine. The torque converter shaft enters the flywheel, but doesn't go any farther than the alignment pins. I had somebody helping me and we cannot get it. It's on a tranny jack as...

I'm wondering what the best method can be with making this crumple look a little better, and to accept the fender flare. As you can see the tailgate doesn't close all the way. I know the rule, "bend it back the way it came". In this case, this was back in 2010 when the owner lost control in snow...

Hello SE Have a 96 Explorer eddie, and the oil pressure gauge doesn't work. It reads nothing. The engine is fine, has 197k. This would be the oil pressure gauge, correct? And if so, how difficult is it to repair? Thanks in advance
