Thanks guys! It was the thermostat! Changed it and flushed the radiator out and nothing but mud came out. Thanks for everything. And thanks Cross6 for the Ford Procedure. I will save that.

Ok I asked a question the other day and yall helped me fix the it. Now I got another problem. The explorer runs but it's starting to overheat. It started all of a sudden. It runs and drives fine but just overheats. I'm going to do a compression test tomorrow, and do some more checking. The fan...

It's actually in a better spot now then where it was. It was just on top of the spring mount. And I have no clue why it would be there. All cars I have ever messed with have been grounded straight to the engine.

WE GOT IT!!!!!!!! :thumbsup: Thanks guys! The Jumper cable idea worked! I still don't understand why it wouldn't crank but it works now. The power side was fine but it needed a ground so we thought the ground wire was bad so we replaced it still nothing. So I took the new wire and moved it...

We cut a peice of the insulation off and the inside the wire and it looked fine. I guess it still could bad but it looked fine. The other guy put brand new lead ends on the wires and we cleaned the termimals on the battery.

I looked at the wires and they looked good. I didn't see any corrosion inside the wires. Anything else to check?

I will try the cables next. Thanks I thought the same thing but swapped the battery from the car I drove over there which I know was good and it didn't help any. Sorry I didn't say that in the Original post.

I haven't been back in here in awhile. I sold my explorer. I'm trying to help a buddy of mine out and I know people here should be able to help. This is what is going on. It's a 2003 Ford Explorer 4wd. He was driving it and the Battery light came on and it started dragging trying to crank...

Well now that I got the axle in and now I know why the axle was out. Now the car is making a noise up front. So I guess I will have to get the front end built now. :( This sucks!

Ok well I just looked and the circlip is in the box so I'm good on that part. LOL So I'm not as up the creek as I thought. LOL Thanks anyway guys! I will pull the front diff cover and look at the inside of the diff and hope nothing is bad and when I get some extra money I will buy the Vicous...

I haven't been on here in a long time. Sold my explorer but just bought a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer. I thought I got a good deal on it but I looked under it because the front tires are not pulling. Well it is missing the front left hand axle. Don't know how long it has been drove without an axle...

cgriffin_5139 what kind of lift kits are ya'll useing? Chris

Dissconnect what? Sway bars? If so I don't have any I pulled mine off. Yes that help out a lot. Right now both have the same suspension lift. My jeep has 2" and my explorer has 2". My explorer will out perform my jeep now. I think it has a lot to do with the tires. My jeep will out flex...

I have a 94 explorer with 2 inch suspension lift and 3 inch body lift with 33 Mud kings. My question is I also have a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 2" suspension lift with 32 all terrians. I was thinking of selling my explorer and putting a 6 in longarm kit on the Jeep. The Jeep has coil...

Yes my 2" susp lift is just Ebay poly spacers with Auto Zone Shackles in the rear. Still has the factory ride quality. I'm going with a 4" susp lift later. I want a total of 6 inchs but with the BL I'm going to end up with 7. So thats close. I love my warns. I went through 2 sets of auto...

Thanks for all ya'lls help. Heres a pic of my explorer with the 2 inch lift with the 3 inch body lift. Chris P.S. if anybody cares my buggy is in the back ground.

I have some 17x8 KMC stelth wheels with 265/75 17's A/T on them. They are equal to 32's. 1 has a different backspaceing. I think they looked good on my explorer. The tires look really good. 80% or better tread. I took them off and put 15x8 on my explorer with 33/12.50's on it. I'll take...

I have a question? I put the body lift on this weekend everything went ok. My steering wheel has some bind in it. I put the spacer on it and it still has it maybe even worse than before any help? What did ya'll do? anything? Is there just something wrong with my steering column? It worked...

Thanks for everything. I will post up pictures Monday. (hopefully if my wifes lets me bring the camara to work) Chris

What was wrong with the shifter? The auto should be just a cable. Wouldn't it move easy?

I'm putting a 3" body lift on this Saturday. I was wondering if anybody had any tips on anything to do or not do do. I never done anything but Susp lift. The body lift don't look that hard but I would like help on do's and don'ts. Should I cut the fan shroud or put and electric fan. I want...

I will find a pick and post up of mine before the lift. I had 265/75 17's (They are equal to 32's.) on my explorer stock. They rubbed when I back up and turned. When I put the 2" lift I had no rubbing concerns. I pulled my front swaybar off and they rubbed every once in a while but only...

A good way to check the plug wires is at night. Crank it up, let it idle and raise the hood and see if it lookes like the 4th of july under the hood. If the wires are bad it will be arcing out of the wires. Just a thought. I would try the simple stuff first. Then work up. IMO Chris

Thanks!!! Chris

I was wondering can you drive with the Warn Manual hubs locked without the 4WD engaged in the woods without hurting the hubs? I like seeing what I can do in 2WD and then if I need it putting it in 4WD to get me out. I won't like getting out in a mud hole to engage the hubs. LOL Thanks chris
