    Transmission: Hey, does this look infected????

    Thanks for all the replies. The filter was never properly installed by the shop that rebuilt the trans. What you are seeing is about 30,000 miles effectively bypassing the filter. I replaced the valve body as it was hopelessly drowning in worn material. The trans shifts fine 99% of the time...

    Seat Belt Buckle

    Just in case anyone else is looking for a cheap fix on the same issue. Like may others, my driver's side seat belt buckle spring had failed. Try as might, nobody makes a replacement spring. My guess is folks like Dorman won't touch it for legal reasons. Unlike Honda, Ford will not service these...

    So the old girl has trouble shifting out of first. Pulled the pan and saw this on the magnets. Is this normal? http://youtu.be/KsyCkvj2cXI

    1995 Explorer XLT 4x4 for Sale

    http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/5144088850.html We are the original owners (& still have all the paperwork / Owner's VHS) of this Explorer and have loved it. Unfortunately, it needs yet another transmission. While I would love to put the money into it, my better judgement says enough. I'm...

    Oil Pressure Problem after Startup

    The 1995 Explorer starts fine and sounds right for 15 seconds or so. Then I get dancing oil pressure that drops to zero and I hear some level of engine noise (either value train or rods, I don't know yet). I shut it down right away and repeat the process with the exact same results. That is...

    1995 Transfer Case stuck in Neutral

    Feedback re 4405 Transfer Case shifter mechanism Hey Folks - Just in case anybody is searching for how the shifter rod should feel, it should move VERY easily between H and L. There should be no need for a wrench of any sort. Furthermore, the shifter rod should softly "lock" into position...

    1995 Transfer Case stuck in Neutral

    Okay folks, I've searched high and low. There are some EXCELLENT threads, photos and how to messages out there but seem to differ from my transfer case. While my Shift Motor is suspect (it is not turning at all while changing the dash switch), I'm trying to manually place my transfer case in 2...

    Pictures of the XLT and Lumbar Question

    Are you sure you have a leak? This may sound silly but I've had the seat-back frame crossmember break. Long story short, the welds let go and it gave the lumber support area a "squishy" feeling that I thought was a leak. This was evident when I removed the seat cover but you have to know...

    Advice Needed: Bolt-in 2nd row bucket seat options

    Hey 525 - thanks for the effort but.... ... I've seen that post and it requires some welding / bracket fab. I remember seeing some version of the Explorer that came with buckets in the second row. I just need to find the year and see if they'll bolt into a 1995.

    Advice Needed: Bolt-in 2nd row bucket seat options

    I need to change out the 60/40 split bench seat in the 2nd row for captain's chairs / bucket seats. I have two younger kids and a German Shepard that need to all survive a long road trip this summer. Separate seats seem to be the ideal solution. Try as I might, I can't find a definitive...

    Clunk, Grind, and Groan... Front End Problems

    A strange shot in the dark for you here... I had the same problem on my 95 XLT after some front end work. Turns out they never properly torqued down the ecentric nut on the pass side upper A arm. Sounded like a small metal ball pen hammer on certain bumps. If this is it, re-aline the...
