    After market seat brackets?

    http://corbeau.com/ford-explorer-92-01-seat-brackets.html Anyone used after market seat brackets from Corbeau in a 93 (or other first gen) Explorer? Do they bolt right in?

    A/C control cables

    I'm looking for the two cables that connect the A/C control deck to the actual parts that move. The connectors on mine became brittle and broke away and my jury-rigging has made the controls hard to operate and ineffective. I thought LMC sold them (I seem to recall them being about $40/ea)...

    Exhaust pressure / Starting issue?

    Is it possible for a starting issue to be caused by a change in the exhaust system? I recently had the exhaust on my 93 XL replaced. Cut everything from the headers back off and new pipe welded in. This included losing the cat entirely as it needed to be replaced and I've always just had it...

    Orifice tube direction / effect if backwards?

    I just replaced my A/C evaporator and accumulator/drier. But I'm pretty sure now that I have it all together that I put the new orifice tube in backwards. What is the net effect if I did this? When I began charging the system, the compressor kicked on for a bit, but now does not. There...

    What is this vacuum line?

    I found this vacuum line like this when I went to add oil to my truck the other day. It seems obvious where it should hook in, so I did. That day, it started running rough. Surging during acceleration, sputtering out the tailpipe. What is this line?

    Need a replacement drivers seat

    Well - After 22 years, the driver's seat in my 93' XL has given up the ghost. It's got a permanent gangsta lean due to a broken seat frame. The sheet metal there is so thin that re-welding it didn't help or hold, so I need to replace it. Anyone know where I can buy one online? Not having...

    O2 sensor replacement (harness access)

    So... I assumed that replacing the O2 sensors in my 93' would be a reasonably simple project. The sensors are exposed and easy to get to on the bottom of the truck, and appear to simply screw in. I haven't taken the old ones out yet, though, because when I went to disconnect the old one...

    AC/Heater cable retention clips

    I"ve been slowly working on getting my heater and AC working. As part of that, I replaced the AC/Heater control deck in the cab using the instructions I found in the dash removal thread here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=248021&highlight=dash+remove When I went to...

    Fuel efficiency

    Lately, the fuel efficiency in my 93' XL has tanked. I'm looking for suggestions on where to start troubleshooting if nothing else has changed. Paul

    Heater core?

    I've been troubleshooting an issue with my heater not working. So far, I've replaced a broken control knob, discovered and fixed an issue in the control unit (Linkage cable brackets broken so not changing mode.), and a dead blower motor relay (Replaced. Blows fine now.). The issue now is...

    What type of bulb should be here?

    This is the rear cargo courtesy lamp assembly. I opened it to find it empty, which explains why I had no light. But it's not a bulb with a socket. Looks like a bulb that clips in on either end? Problem is, the LMC catalog shows a bulb that requires a socket. Anyone know what type of bulb...

    Looks clean to me...

    Everyone always says to clean the MAF. Looks clean to me. Am I missing something someone else is seeing here? Paul

    M5OD Transmission fill stem?

    Perhaps this is an ignorant question... so I apologize in advance if it is. But, I cannot for the life of me find the transmission fill stem in my 93' XL with a manual transmission. Am I missing something here? Should there be one in the engine compartment? I was just wanting to check...

    Backup lights don't work

    OK - I tried searching to see if I could find the answer somewhere else in the forum, and didn't see anything obvious. So, I call upon the awesome collective knowledge of the forum. :) My backup lights don't come on. I started by disassembling the tail lights and discovered both sockets...

    Inside turn signal indicator out

    I noticed tonight that my turn signal indicator for left turns is out. The bulbs and signal are working fine, but the little green arrow in my dash is out. Is there an actual bulb back there to replace? Paul

    Pattern for door handles?

    Like many, the door handles in my 1st generation Explorer have just fallen apart. In three of my doors, I've cut the flopping rubber completely off and left only the armrest portion, so those doors do not have an easy pull for closing. I've spent some time Googling replacements, but I can't...

    Slight "ticking" sound from motor

    FR-425 & 4x4junkie were so helpful in my first thread that I thought I'd push my luck and see if the forum could help me with another less critical issue on my "new" 93' XL. Now that I seem to have my fuel delivery/performance issue straightened out (knock on wood), as I'm driving I'm...

    1993 Explorer XL loses power when driving

    Hello All - First time poster. I recently acquired a 1993 Explorer XL, 4.0L OHV, 5-speed manual transmission. It's well-used, LOL, but overall seems to be in reasonable shape for it's age. But, it has a problem I can't seem to figure out. Inconsistently (I can't establish a pattern), it will...
