how do you remove the top bolt? the new doorman kit comes with the top bushing so I assume you have to remove the whole thing somehow... also they included a steel bushing to replace the one in the leaf. I could clean up the old one and reuse it, but it would be nice to just replace it...

I think I found something for my wish list http://www.driveshaftsuperstore.com/drive_shaft_SYE.htm one thing that has been concerning me is once I do the SOA (way down the line) the drive shaft will still only move in that one axis, along the slip yoke, and it seems this could lead to...

so I took out my old ripped up headliner to replace it today and while I was there I thought I would finally fix my auto headlight issue that has plagued me since the second year I owned it so here's what I know thus far, the mirror module powers on, the dim and auto lamp function seem to...

so I am at the point of taking the transfercase off and replacing my transmission mount multiple questions hence the new generic thread, I have a feeling these WONT be the last SOLVED! 1: is there any trick to getting the bolt for the transfercase that's over the exhaust? if I have to pull my...

so I was pulling parts for my 4406 swap and I pulled the gas skid plate and noticed the strap had rusted through and was NOT holding the tank in place. as far as I can tell the strap is part of the cross member and will be extremely difficult to replace. is there a trick I'm missing...

I figured I'd post the question as see if there were any bright ideas on where to poke around before I just started looking at EVERYTHING I took the forward interior out to access the access door in the floor so I can begin my transfer case swap. I decided I should pull the battery when I...

noone's writeup seems to cover what this wire is for... any ideas?

I decided to pick up a spare cupholder/ashtray for a 96 explorer at the junkyard so I could make this little beauty the two military switches are going to be ABS and Air bag disable, the four switches next to that will control front and read winch power lines and lights through relays...

so I went to change my starter and the first bolt I went at BROKE. not it only broke the head off, so there is something to grab and turn, but honestly unless someone has a fool proof idea, I think I'm just going to hand this off to the nearest shop for an hour to just get it done. I'm tired...

my starter has been not engaging to the engine or makign a nasty sound when the truck is cold (was told in another thread it was slow to disengage or something along those lines) so before it gets me stranded I'm going to replace it when I do my oil change. Any suggestions on which brand to...

so, I was driving around with my half installed message center (still havent run the 4 signals to the engine bay, flow, oil temp, other oil thingy, and window fluid) and I noticed a strange issue related to the trip mileage. the mileage reads just fine when the engine is COLD, but when I park...

so I went to to autozone and had my codes read (again, I know ive been lazy on getting this fixed, but hey it runs) and heres about what they said it has a whole bunch of EGR insufficient flow codes and a O2 sensor code I bet if I can clear up that EGR code the O2 might just go away...

I need to route 4 last signals for my message center install... and the grommet under the heat box I saw another guy use... isnt a grommet on my truck, its some sort of stud with a plastic cap on it. there has to be more than one grommet I can use to route 4 18 gauge wires to the engine bay.

I've been reading a lot of threads lately on how to install LED's in place of the incandescent switch bulbs and they all seem to over think what they're doing and modify too much. this just seems so much more simple result pictures soon as well as details with step by step pictures on...

I was wondering if theres a simple way to pull out the guage cluster so I could fix my oil preasure guage... smewhere durring my thermostat fix it slipped below the limiter... kinda minor since I've never had a preasure problem and I checked the oil level

I have a 96 explorer V8 212K miles just got it back from having a head replaced after a sparkplug broke off and lead to all sorts of other problems, now the truck's heat guage says the engine hardly ever warms up. sure it reaches the normal heat range in stop and go in the city, but drive...

That's my plan in a nutshell I purchased a '85 Grand Wagoneer Dana 44 front axle last year from a local scrap yard and spend the summer and fall tearing it down, cleaning, and inspecting it. after I made an axle dolly, i started cleaning it out and making a mess of my driveway...

my 96 explorer has the automatic headlights and they wont switch on. the problem apears to be somewhere in the linkage between the module that senses the dark and the realy that turns on the lights. the problem also extends to the remote locks, when you press twice the lights normally blink...

OK... so I just spent about 2 -3 weeks sandblasting all the rust off my explorer and painting and sealing it back up... BIG JOB now I look at it and it leans to the driver's side in the rear. Took a look at the leaf spring and the main leaf is all bent (pictures to come later) My dad wont...

I need to replace a window on my passengers front door... how would I go about it...

I've been searching for a PC link to my diagnostic port since I built my Carputer, I know they exist, but I still haven't found a decent setup that works with a 96 explorer V8... any ideas where I could look next?

so I went out to my truck to check the vaccume lines for an unrelated problem (which doesn't exist) and I happened to check my air filter (which I just replaced this summer with a fram replacement) GOOD THING I DID! it looked like someone ripped hal the paper out... it was complete ly...

I have a minor scratch through one of my rear defroster lines rendering it inoperable... my idea is to use silver pen, the type used to make lines on some types of circuitboards, to fill the gap and complete the electrical connection... I wanted to run this by a few other people to see if...
