    home-fabbed TTB suspension...

    I am gonna truggy my '91 Ex and have been looking at lift kits. These things are pretty dang spendy. I have some fab skills and can weld etc, plus I have a decent supply of heavy-wall DOM and 1/4"-3/8" plate to make arms/brackets out of. Anyone have pics of extended radius arms they have...

    Explorer truggy pics?

    I did some searching and didn't come up with much. My wife has a '91 Explorer that she hates and we are going to buy her a '06 Aveo pretty soon to get around in. Once we have her new car, she told me I could do "whatever I want" with her old '91. The body is kinda ugly and the interior is...

    changing the thermostat....

    I feel like a total newb posting this... but I've searched and couldn't find a thread that helped. I have a '91 Ex and I suspect the thermostat is sticking. I got a replacement and went out to change it tonight. Well, I'm an old school chevy guy... and on my 85 K5 I can change a thermostat in...

    which computers are compatible?

    I have a '91 Ex with a 4.0L six and automatic. I have been trying to track down a problem with no avail... and thought I might try going to a parts yard and getting a different computer to see if that will solve my problem. Question is, what years computers will work with my '91? Thanks in...

    my Ex wants me dead...

    and right now, the feeling is mutual. :mad: Maybe 6-8 months ago my 1991 Ex started giving me crap. The problem was that the engine would rev up to high RPMs... all by itself... with NO driver input at all and completely out of the blue. I did some searching here and decided to start by...

    A4LD... time for rebuild?

    My wife's 1991 Ex's AL4D is getting shady. Once you are on the freeway and going over 45mph it doesn't seem to know which gear it wants to be in. It'll shift up/down for no apparent reason... and if you get going faster and put it in 4th it is even less decisive. Frequently it'll kick back to...

    need help diagnosing an engine problem...

    hey gang. I have a problem with my 1991 Ex and need some help trying to figure it out. Basically, when you start it up, the RPMs quickly move up to about 3000... neither letting it warm up and/or gassing it a little bit seems to get it to drop back down to a normal idle level.. it just does it...

    starter or flywheel?

    when i start, it sounds like the starter or flywheel has lost a tooth. Ive never removed the starter from a X (i have a 91) before, is it very hard? I think I lost a tooth when I tried to start after transposing two spark plug wires (yeah, i know). Anyway, what are the odds that its a starter...

    raising the sitting position...

    I recently got a '91 for my wife... and I feel like I am sitting in a bathrub when I drive it, and she needs a pillow so she can. I guess Ford wanted there to be lots of headroom for 6'8" guys wearing cowboy hats. Anyway, We want to raise the sitting position 4-6". I did this in my wheelin'...

    oil leak, prognosis?

    I was changing the oil in my wife's 'new' '91 explorer today and I noticed there seemed to be a small oil leak. We just bought it a few weeks ago and I went through and did the oil filter, changed the oil, new magnetic drain plug (old one was stripped pretty bad), PCV valve, air filter etc...
