    '93 with 2" lift and 31x10.5 BFG AT's on stock rims, never been close to rubbing.

    I want to get a nice exhaust setup but I have a V6

    Get 2.5" cat back single outlet with a Flowmaster 50 series (non-delta) and a 3" tip. Get an exhaust shop to fab the pipes for you, don't buy a premade kit it will cost twice as much. I've had guys ask me what size V-8 I swapped in, I love how it sounds. Here's a pic of where my tip came out...

    window problem when it's cold

    While the window is down, spray some wd-40 or other lube in the sides of the door where the window goes (where the felt material is). It smells bad but it helps a lot.

    Warning about a brake problem on our trucks! READ THIS

    First gen's do not have caliper bolts, we have slide pins; there's no torquing involved with them.

    P/S feels like its binding; NOT bad ball joints.

    I don't think I've ever fixed something on my ex and not messed up something else. I like to claim that I just hadn't noticed the other problem until after I fixed the first one ;) . Good luck

    Camber issues

    I had the EXACT same problem when I installed 1.5" coils and shackles on my '93 2wd. The tires looked just as you describe them. I got my tires from sears and they told me I HAD to get drop brackets. After looking around and not finding any I told them to do as best they could without the...

    Spongey Brakes on '93 sport!

    I have the same problem and I just redid my entire front brake system, and bled/flushed the whole system. I also made sure my master cylinder never got empty but I still have spongy brakes and the same problem you're describing. I think there's air in the ABS system from one of the previous...

    rebuild an explorer?

    You can have mine for $1k when the tranny or engine blows :p

    ABS in 95 XLT

    Well I did some searching on it and it looks like there is a tone ring mounted inside the differential like you were talking about. I guess the ring in yours might have some messed up teeth on it which is causing a bad reading at a certain speed. Btw when the ABS light comes on, that means it...

    Right Radius Arm or Bushings????

    Here this link should help you with the radius arm bushings. I really doubt you need a new arm, just the bushing. Also you should probably do both sides at the same time because you'll need to get an allignment after doing it so do both now so you don't need to do another allignment later for...

    '94 wheel bearings and hubs

    Check your old bearings when you get them out, if they look ok once the old grease is cleaned out and they don't say "made in china", don't replace them, save some money.

    Fue Injector Flush @30k Miles?

    No you didn't make a mistake, they're trying to rip you off. I have a 93 with over 120k miles and have never had my injectors "flushed." The local Dodge dealership did this to my mom a few months ago and she didn't ask me before she paid for all this B.S. maintanence stuff they stuck on her...

    ABS Light

    There's two parts to the front ABS system on the 93-94s. The sensor is a part of the spindle/knuckle. It's a flat round shiny metal part about the size of a nickle. If this gets really muddy I'm sure it could give a bad reading causing the ABS light to come on. Then there's the exciter ring...

    Explorer Sport

    Cost me $115 total (installed too) for a shop to put a 50 series flowmaster with 2.5" pipes and a stainless tip in my sport. It's so much cheaper, easier, and usually better than what you'll find in any catalog, if you can even find one. A system done by a shop will be welded together instead...

    new exhaust tip - what do you think?

    Looks nice :) Put some kind of polish on it regularly cause these things get eaten up so fast when they're right behind the tire, I've got a similar application and didn't put a whole lot of effort into keeping it clean so it was pretty nasty after a year or so :banghead:

    Offroading on spacers, a long term test report

    I'm assuming he's talking about the tendency of the truck to lean more on turns with shackles installed since the center of gravity is raised. And that he thinks the spacers help minimize this lean because they widen the stance of the truck.

    differences bewtween 2wd and 4wd front shocks for 2nd gen?

    2wd and 4wd both use the same suspension setup (control arm/torsion bar) with the same mounting points for the shocks...so yeah the 4wd part number is interchangeable with the 2wd.

    Front end clunk - NOT ball joints

    If that is what is causing the noise, there should be a mark where it hits from it hitting so often. If there's no mark then I doubt that's what's causing the clunk. Usually when someone talks about a clunking noise fix on here it's not something physically hitting something else. It's...

    92 Explorer wont start

    Yeah if it's not corroded terminals you probably need a new starter. Seems like I have to replace mine ever 1 and a half years :banghead:

    Lift Kit Help

    I think he meant 3.25 instead of 4.25. If anything, 3.73s.

    Lift n00b

    Yes, the larger tires will be harder to turn so your acceleration will be a little slower. It won't be a large difference though with just 31s or 32s. When you move up to 35s or so you need to change out pinion gears to a lower ratio to compensate for the larger tires.

    Lift Kit Help

    30 inch tires you want to put on? You can fit that without a lift, it probably came with 29s on it. Here's the off-road suspension forum where you'll find more answers about lifts: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=10
