Any one want this truck for $500, I think I'm ready to trash it... Engine started running strange...

One other symtom I discovered. I decided to drive it 60 miles on the interstate yesterday. Amazing enough but at high speeds that entire 60 miles kept the temp at normal level. Granted you could see it trying to rise, which it did everytime I came to a stop. How can one test the cooling fan...

hmm, cap.. Smart, I'll check that. here's the scoop! I took the darn thermostat back out, went and got a new one. Changed it again and assured it was in correctly. refilled coolant. Thought things were good but here is the same symptoms again... I'm 99% the temp gauge is correct in its...

I wonder if I put the thermostat in backwards? Does anyone have a picture of which way the thermo is suppose to face!? David

well well.. I finally got around to getting a new water pump, took the old one off and was sad to see the pump physically looks fine, BLAH.... So I'm highly guessing that the pump wasnt the problem but oh well at least I have a new pump on! So new thermo, new pump. Granted I haven't tried...

Well, "how hot would it get" First problem is I've always noticed my temp gauge to forever run just barely above the cold area when at normal operating temp. Dunno if that is normal. But when it started overheating, the needle would creep quickly up to the high end, not reaching it fully...

Thanks! Is there anyway to check a water pump without just replacing it?

My truck had recently started overheating, sometimes dropping back down to the normal temp. I figured it was the thermostat, took it and and naturally it was stuck and old. Replaced it, no leaks. Great! But... I'm still having an issue with it running into the hot temp range, and then...

Ahh.... I see, so dang if I order the poly then I gotta hope and pray that my metal flanges stay unhurt?! Will that be easy to do?

Yikez O Mighty, Dealer wants $490 for these puppies in rubber... Scratch that and the heck with it I'm gonna go Poly! HAHA..

Yeah, I'm searchin for some good rubber mounts... I like the smooth ride and my old one are hard as stones and nasty cracked up... I'll give the stealer a call and check on pricing for these stock ones. Is there no FORD parts website that would carry these for easy pricing?

Got a 93 Explorer 4wd 5spd 4.0 Where Is a good place to buy the OEM rubber body mounts? Been looking around and doesnt seem any parts dealers like autozone carry this?

Does anyone know if you can pull both the engine and tranny together out of the front w/ an engine hoist (transfercase removed already) ? Or is the tranny too long to angle out of there?

Does anyone know what size this bolt is on the y pipe to headers? I want to make sure I put the right size on before I torque into it. I can't get a 13 to fit on there and 14 feels too big... It's probably due to rust buildup and I'm not sure If I should use this 9/16 that feels tighter on it....

BINGO!!! I got it finally after a refreshing retry this morning! haha.. Let me give the next person a hint for doing this easier! After you push the little white ring up in there as far as it will go, simply use on of those small prybar used on removing baseboards from lowes ( mine is about...

Well thank you for the pic, it did help.. but I still had no luck getting it off and I'm done fishing w/ it. Someone said cut the line and barb splice it later,, has anyone done this? Will a standard barb like for the fuel lines hold this okay? I have no clue what the pressure is in this...

I have hammered a lil screw driver all around this thing so that the white ring is about a tenth or 2 of an inch inside the brass all the way around. Still no budging at all and doesnt feel the white ring will go up anymore... Should I be able to turn the copper part while holding the brass...

Well, is there any stipulation to just removing the line from where it connects on the other end? besides having to bleed the clutch system when all said and done.... Is the other end just a nut I loosen and remove the line?

After some mauling and hitting and twisting I am still in the same damn boat... haha... I do have one question though if anyone knows... ?? Where does this come apart at? There is a copper peice that the hydrolic line is shrinked to, then this copper peice goes into a brass peice. In...

I still can't see how this thingy is going to push the white ring up any higher? Anyone know if that ring is suppose to be further than flush or do I have another problem?

I gotta stop answering my own posts :-P I guess this is the tool and what it looks like? Correct me if I'm wrong. http://www.drivewerks.com/catalog/ShopCart/TOOL/POR_TOOL_CAT567_pg3.htm Dang, that looks so simple!

Now I know I've seen a couple post about getting this off, but my goodness this is not no "quick" disconnect?! I have pushed the lil white ring into its housing tuggin and all trying to get this to come off what gives? So there is a tool somewhere for this application? What does it look...

Anyone have any links or how-to's on putting in the 5.0 engine/tranny? And is this the same engine in the 5.0 mustang? What about tranny? Any pointers would be great. Oh and, wanting to install in the 93 explorer sport - 5spd

YIKES! I put it back in without pics Sorry!!! :( Well my 4wd works now! yeah.. Seems it was the broken stopper and the contacts were missaligned causing haywire for the 4wd controller. After all this I'd have to say the BEST method for testing your 4wd is to find out if the axle from...

Well I think that this locking is because I didnt have a good spacer on the stoppping post. When the stopper hits, the motor torques it down like a screw... Then it becomes locked.. So I went out and bought a rubber grommet and placed over the stopper which now makes it work great... See now...
