I told them what parts they need. I'll put on whatever they get then wash my hands of it. some lame brain told them it needs to be shimmed so now they're all over that. They even said you tube said it needs a shim. Good have you tube fix your pile of crap. I've got way better things to do than...

In a nutshell. Neighbor has1998 explorer V8. A few weeks ago she has me tow it back to the homestead. She stated "I was driving then it made a weird sound, then like a loud thump". Ok so pulled the starter, found brush holder exploded and commutator chowed bad.. got a used starter.a couple weeks...

A while back I posted about my neighbors 98 5.0 starter blowing the commutator. Brush holder and brushes to bits I checked out all the ancillary decides for problems and found none. I explained to her that these parts don't just explode like it did for no reason and being I can't duplicate it...

I talked with him. He won't be back on here. He's pretty upset but he's done here.

This is the guy you are going back and forth withs brother. I going to ask that you grow up a little bit here and lighten up on him. He had a medical emergency about 18 months ago that among other things affects his memory. There are lots of things in the past he has no recollection of. He...

Like I said. Don't have time to have this stupid conversation with you. Better mechanic, possibly. Better technician, no way in hell. You sound like some little ****ing kid. Neener neener I know you but what am I type ****. I've used up all my argue with **** for brains time for today. So sir...

Oh God, another one.

Nope no ignition signal issue as you put it. Ignition switch is working fine. I'd explain whst I found but I've got way better things to do than explain myself to some keyboard warrior who thinks he is so smart. The ones who convinced themselves they're so smart are the ones who are anything...

What are you talking about? No money was ever paid out. You must lead an incredibly boring life if the best entertainment you can dig up is critiquing other people's posts. Looks like you're the nothing burger there pal.

The module in the 94. Yeah that was strange but here's what I was told. I went ahead and pulled the interior panels on the left rear of the vehicle off to get a better look. There was a module, chunk of a wiring harness and lots of black tape. The wires were hooked up to nothing and looks like...

No he is not. Luckily for the owner I was an automobile tech for almost forty years before transitioning into a much more body friendly commercial locksmith career so I do kinda know what I'm doing. I'm just hoping the chunk of extension cord is the extent of his modifications. I've got my work...

Yeah, this friend of theirs is a hack. They also have a Dakota pickup that had a wheel bearing on the front that was bad. He said he fixed it. All he did was pop off the dust cap and force some grease in there and called it good. Needless to say I was asked to look at it and the inner bearing...

I have a question for ya'll. I've got a 1994 Explorer sport. It's in need of some repairs and I'm coming to find out that parts for these first generation explorers have been discontinued not only through the factory, but aftermarket availability is hit and miss too. Things like control arm...

Brush holder and springs

She did mention that it was cranking over without them trying to start it. I'll start with that and see if I can duplicate it.

Oh this thing is a real jewel. They've had their friend who is a "mechanic" working on it a while back. He rigged a chunk of an extension cord from the relay on the inner fender to a toggle switch to start it. I'm just going to have to remove all the jimmy rigged stuff and go piece by piece to...

That one brush that is beyond worn out is smooth on its face so I assume that was hitting the commutator. I think one of the brushes popped out of the brush holder and started a chain reaction of uncontrolled destruction.

She said they were at a stop light and felt a thud then the truck died. All electrical dead. I tried to start it. Of course no bueno on that. Starter solenoid ad red hot. That's what led me to pull the starter and investigate.
