    Looking for stereo wiring harness model number 98 Explorer

    Looking for a wiring harness. I used Crutchfield. They sent me completely wrong harnesses and a head unit with RCA ports in the back. Can someone help me out? My truck has no sub in the back. Produced in December of 97. Previous owner installed a disc changer. I uploaded pictures of the stock...

    e4406 swap quick question

    I've got a 98 Explorer XLT 5.0 AWD. It's got 230,000 miles. Just bought it. It's got a whine from the front end that I believe is from the front driveshaft. I want to just go ahead and do the swap to a 4406. The AWD transfer case makes this poor V8 feel slower than my old 93 4.0. And swapping to...

    Random temperature jump when stopped

    1993 Manual Ford Explorer 4x4. Rebuilt motor. Trying to figure out the cause of my random temperature spikes when I stop at red lights. It only seems to jump at idle RPMs, after reaching operating temperature. It jumps to about 3/4 of the gauge on my dash. It usually rests right at the "L"...

    Alternatives to bench bleeding the clutch master cylinder

    My manual 93 Explorer 4x4 will grind a little when putting it into reverse at times. It can also become difficult to shift into reverse and first gear. It usually doesn't give me any problems after a cold start, though. Even after warming up the engine while parked. It usually seems to happen...

    What vehicles to look at to pull 4.10 gears from

    I'm looking to swap a complete rear axle and the front diff/3rd member. Swapping Axle code 41 stock axles on a 1993 Ford Explorer Sport with 4x4. Obviously an Explorer with a D7 axle code will work. But I have never seen one in person. Not at Pick-n-Pull, and not while looking for Explorers and...

    Wiring Aftermarket Head Units to Factory Amplifier

    Looking for a way to wire a factory amplifier to an aftermarket radio/head unit in my 1993 Ford Explorer Sport. I haven't actually pulled the factory head unit out to see whether or not my truck has the "premium sound" system. But, assuming it does, how would someone go about wiring an...

    Questions Regarding Axle Swap Requirements

    Alright, so I have a 93 Explorer 4x4 with a 41 axle code, so it's got 3.27 gears front and back, with open diffs. I want to put a limited slip 3.73 gear rear end into it. The plan for the rear is simple. I'm just going to buy a full axle assembly and swap it in, instead of opening up the diff...

    Stereo Wire Identification

    Undid the absolutely horrid wiring job that came with the stereo in my Navajo. Surprisingly, the guy who did it left the Ford 8-pin stereo harness. Lucky me! I didn't have that luxury last time. I've identified 5 of the 7 wires. Listing from left to right: Blue - Amplifier Remote Green/Black -...

    Rear Wheel-spin While Driving On Wet Roads

    Picked up my 1992 Mazda Navajo LX today. Automatic transmission. She's got the D4 axle code, so 3.73 limited-slip front and rear differentials. 4x4, but the button assembly is missing, so I haven't checked if the old auto hubs lock up yet. So, I live in Washington. It rains. A lot. It was...

    Auto Locking Hubs: What makes them break?

    Preparing to pick up a second first gen Explorer (It's a 92 Navajo), and decided to look into the manual hub swap. Not because I plan on doing it, but because I want to figure out WHY the auto hubs suck eggs. My hypothesis is that the plastic used in the auto hubs is either too weak, or...

    Navajo to Explorer grille and headlight information?

    Picking up a 1992 Mazda Navajo on Saturday. She's no looker. Aside from already being a Navajo front end, the grille is in multiple pieces. Well, that and the peeling paint. I want to pull off the Navajo grille and lights, then replace them with an Explorer's lights and grille. I have a few...

    Clutch Pilot Bearing: Is there a sleeve? Where to get one?

    Alright. I've got a 93 Explorer Sport 4x4. My clutch started slipping. It got pretty bad pretty quickly, despite having the clutch replaced at the end of last year. I have concluded that the rear main seal probably failed and leaked oil onto my clutch. Either that, or the flywheel failed. Either...

    Upper starter mounting bolt missing 93 Explorer

    Did my front brakes yesterday. It should have been a moment of relief, but after driving it maybe 50 feet, turning it off, and trying to start it again, I could hear the starter spinning, but no contact with the engine. I initially assumed my starter was bad. After getting a push start, then...

    Why can't I find a new pair of CV Axles?

    Been searching for a week now. Ebay, AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly's, Amazon, RockAuto,and just google in general. WHY is it so hard to find replacement CV axles? I'm looking for front ones specifically. Someone please correct me if I'm not on the right track. This started because of...

    My 93 Explorer apparently has no idler pulley?

    I was replacing the fan clutch on my Explorer and decided to go ahead and replace the serpentine belt. After I got everything out, I realized that the idler pulley, which is on my serpentine belt diagram under the hood, is non-existent. I'm not immediately worried, since I've been driving around...

    93 Explorer dies and won't start again for minutes after a hard stop or turn

    I have a 1993 Ford Explorer Sport. In the last month I've replaced the ignition coil pack, spark plugs, plug wires, and battery. Both before and after all of those parts being installed, my truck will stall and die when panic stopping or taking a hard turn. Not only will it die, but it won't...
