    Parting Out prior to C.A.R.S. turn in, What to keep?

    No, not over yet. The official website says its still on. Dealers here say they will definitely take them through today. My repair list has the total at about $1750. That doesn't include stuff like the radio and speakers. Without the A/C it is pretty much unsellable here. The recent trade-in...

    Parting Out prior to C.A.R.S. turn in, What to keep?

    I was thinking of doing the same thing. They said all the vehicles are getting scrapped which makes it a little depressing. My Explorer still looks good. Just saw that they recalculated the MPG. My 93 was rated at 15 last week, now it is 17. There are reports that people that have already...

    Transmission Vacume Modulator

    I used the hatch too. I think I only removed the passenger seat and center console but I don't remember.

    Vibration from somewhere above 60 and below 75

    i had a vibration on my explorer from the day i bought it. i was told the tires were new and they actually had a lot of tread left. drove it for a few years with the vibration but i didn't have to go on the highway much so it didn't bother me. i had gotten the tires balanced/rotated a few times...

    Gas mileage.

    I think he was talking to Shaggy433 since they have the same tire size. I do pretty much all city driving. My drive is usually less than 10 miles. Last I checked it was 13mpg and its stock. Gas millage isn't my concern (I haven't driven it in 4 days now). I just pray that it starts when I need...

    Problem with battery terminals

    Had the same problem, replaced the terminals, it worked for a few months and started doing it again. Replaced the cables and haven't had the problem since. Like tbars said, its probably corroded inside the sheath and you can't see it.

    Center Console

    Should be a bolt on both sides. Gotta pop off the plastic pieces to see them.

    I got a new(to me) EX

    I haven't had the problem with the blinker on the Ex but other vehicles do that when one of the bulbs is out.

    starter?

    Still sounds like what was going on with mine. I went over a year with it doing that. It would work fine for a month or so and then randomly not want to start. Haven't had the problem with since replacing the cables (which were a pain to snake through everthing).

    starter?

    Had the same symptoms. Replaced cables and hasn't happened since.

    starter?

    Did you man no power to anything? If so and you know the battery is good then it could be the battery cables. They tend to corrode from the inside of the wrap that is on them. Can't see the corrosion.

    looking for help to fix brake problems

    I believe the passenger side bushing wears faster due to heat. They were probably replaced at different times. White is usually the polyurethane kind and the other rubber. At least my poly's are white. Can't help with the brakes, I can't even figure out my own brake problem.

    Power window issues.

    http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145469 sounds like the bushings, try that.

    Help a girl out, i don't have a clue what to do

    I had a vehicle that was doing the exact same thing (the dying randomly part). Figured it was haunted. Turns out there was a short going to the fuel pump. You should be able to hear the fuel pump come on when you turn the key but don't start it.

    Rear Brake Problems

    i decided to jack up the front and check out the job that the shop did on my front brakes. They replaced the calipers and brake hoses. I had my sister step on the brake and I didn't see the caliper (right front) move at all. I did however notice the brake line leaking at the connection of the...

    Rear Brake Problems

    After driving around I still have a pull to the right. Braking makes it pull more. I jacked it up again and noticed when I grab the back tire I can move it in and out. Enough to hear a thumping. Should the axle have play in it like that? I took the tire off and could pull it in and out. its less...

    Rear Brake Problems

    Well I adjusted the right rear manually, put the tire back on and now it spins easier. I guess that was the problem. I drove around and slammed the brakes a few times and didn't feel the same pull that i was feeling. Don't most drums come with at least a 3 month warranty? Couldn't hurt to try...

    Front Brake problem 91 Exp

    The passenger rear wheel doesn't turn easily when its jacked up and in neutral. The driver's side is much easier to turn. The drum on the passenger side came off with ease. Its pretty dirty in there but I don't see what looks like recent fluid. I had someone hit the brake while I watched and...

    Rear Brake Problems

    How easy should it be to spin the passenger rear tire by hand? I had it jacked up, in neutral and it takes quite a bit of effort. I'm dealing with a slight pull to the right that made my vehicle fail inspection. Just took the drum off, slipped off with ease. Only the front shoe moves when the...

    Front Brake problem 91 Exp

    I did the two pumps multiple times coming to stops. Never helped. After that I started messing with it at the light.
