    A4LD was stuck in drive, now no reverse

    The a4ld in my 94 explorer was running and driving, then I went to shift from drive to park and the shifter wouldn't budge even into neutral. It would drive from OD to D, 2, 1 and back just fine but wouldn't go to neutral, reverse, or park. After running the shifter back and forth a bunch of...

    First Gen Green Limited Grille

    I was at the junkyard today and saw a first gen green limited grille with no cracks if anyone is interested. If you don't live nearby I can pull it for you. I'm not sure how well it would fare being shipped though. Phoenix Pull-A-Part 2501 West Buckeye Road Phoenix, AZ 85009

    Pitman Arm Comparison

    I have been searching for a good deal for a Skyjacker FA600 pitman arm for a long time and finally found one that a fellow forum member was able to sell to me at a great price. When I decided I needed the longer pitman arm I did some research but I could not find any good comparisons between...

    Engine revs to 3000rpm when brake pedal pushed

    I had a very weird experience last night. I stopped at a gas station to fill up my tank. When I finished pumping my explorer started normally, but when I pushed the brake pedal it would rev up to 3,000 rpm and stay there until I let go of the brakes. I put it in drive, same thing. I revved...

    Transfer Case Shift Motor Brush Replacement

    One of the brushes inside my transfer case shift motor had the copper braided wire fall off of it. My temporary workaround was to wind the wire through the spring that pushes the brush against the actuator. This worked for a long time but I knew it wasn't a reliable fix. Inevitably, it failed...

    Powertrax No-Slip Traction System Install

    I finally got around to installing the locker I bought from kert0307 back in December. I wanted to document the entire process but it was difficult because the only camera I have is my phone, and it was a lot of extra work cleaning my hands every time I wanted to take a picture. The install...

    Xeek

    I bought a set of clear corners from Xeek. The price was great, communication was great, and the packaging for shipping was extremely thorough, guaranteeing that the people who work for the shipping companies couldn't possibly break it unless they ran over it. I would definitely purchase...

    Wanted Ball Joints for 94 Explorer

    My ball joints need to be replaced. I was wondering if anyone had a set of quality ball joints for the D35 sitting around (moog, spicer, etc) that they don't need. I would rather not go with the $10 AUTO EXTRA / CHASSIS RITE ball joints from RockAuto, but depending on how my finances go it...

    Increase Range of Factory Anti-theft

    I have a 94 Limited explorer that has the factory alarm in it but I don't get a lot of range from the remote. I replaced the batteries in the remote and got a little more range, but I want to go at least 100 feet. Does anyone know where the antenna for the factory anti-theft is located, and...

    For Sale Parting out 1993 Explorer 4x4

    I am parting out a 1993 explorer that I picked up recently. It had been rolled over onto the driver side. The car runs and drives, except that I disassembled the suspension to get the lift kit that was on it. The a/c compressor appears to be locked up and the upper coolant line connector on...

    cloaked_chaos is moving on up with SOA and ~6" lift

    I recently picked up a 1994 Limited 4x4 explorer in great condition and have done a few mods to it including a nice sound system with two 12" subwoofers and a 1200 watt amp, spectre cone filter with 70mm maf housing, and a flowmaster 40 series muffler. While it's nice as it is, it just isn't...

    Auto Hub Problem. Rebuild help?

    I am having a problem with one of my auto hubs not engaging. It used to engage but disengage under stress, but now it doesn't engage at all. I have disassembled it completely, and nothing seemed to be damaged in it. I even disassembled my working hub and they look the same on the inside...

    4.0 OHV Engine Rebuild

    I need to rebuild the 4.0 OHV engine in my '93 Explorer Sport to replace all gaskets since I got a kit that comes with everything in it. I cannot find any threads on how to do it, and I wanted to see if anyone had already posted how to tear down the engine while it is still in the car. My...

    Public Service Announcement: Brake Pads

    Remember to always check your brake pads and rotors often. I was driving in my '93 EB and started to hear a squealing noise, I made a mental note to check it the next day. I had to go out again that night and the squealing turned into a grinding noise. The next day (today) I pulled off the...

    I finally finished replacing the transmission in my '94 about an hour ago. I am so excited because this is my first car, and I did most of the work myself! I have a problem though. The shifter linkage is broken and I need a new one. If anyone out there has a shifter linkage, please let me...

    Is This A Record?

    I thought I (read: my family) had a lot of explorers. Four is a lot to own. But alas, it is not too many. I went out a couple hours ago with my dad and bought ANOTHER explorer. This time it was a 93 (I think) 2wd sport with a manual transmission. The battery was dead and jumping it didnt...

    A4LD Torque Converter Nuts

    I have looked everywhere and cannot find the answer to this question. It is not in my Chilton's and I cant find it anywhere on the forums. I am sorry if it is blatently obvious to some but I am a little nervous putting in a new transmission for the first time on my own and I want to try to get...

    A4LD - No Reverse [DIAL-UP WARNING]

    I had the transmission replaced in my 93 eddie bauer 4wd AT, and it had problems shifting, so I replaced the valve body, and now it shifts fine but no reverse. I was told that the problem was most likely the reverse piston (?) was stuck and therefore it could not go into reverse. I pulled the...
