    Replacing GEM, what numbers need to match?

    Lots of problems lol. My windshield wipers, power windows, dome light, seatbelt warning light, door ajar light, 4x4 switches.... none of it works. They have all been intermittently working for about 6 years now and they are to the point they might all work once a week. I've replaced fuses, i've...

    Replacing GEM, what numbers need to match?

    Here is a picture I just took of the one currently in my 98 explorer sport. My question is, if I buy a used one either online or from a junk yard, which of these numbers need to match? And will I most likely still need to pay a dealership to have it programmed to my explorer or is it...

    Running lean -100 on bank 1? Possible causes?

    Fixed the issue. I had a few lol. Bad o2 sensor, I had 4 total but only one was really bad, replaced fuel pump assembly, and had a bad manifold gasket.

    98 Explorer Sport stuck in 4 wheel drive

    I have been researching this issue but haven't quite found a direct answer. I'm assuming the electronic control module must have failed but basically same issues I see everyone else had. I put my X in 4 high while on the beach but it actually got stuck in 4 low. I crawled under my X to look for...

    How much could my 98 sport tow if I had a towing hitch welded on?

    Ya. I think with what im going to do i should just get a bigger truck. I live in texas and the wife and i r plannin to move back to washington sometime next year. We will be fully loaded, no furniture but a lot of books, couple laptops, lots of clothes and some other miscelaneous stuff. Also...

    How much could my 98 sport tow if I had a towing hitch welded on?

    It looks like according to this link, because I have a manual and only 2D with 4WD I can't really tow more than 2k pounds? And recommends a weight distributing hitch. How much difference does a weight distributing hitch really make? I'm guessing my back end would be pretty low if i towed more...

    How much could my 98 sport tow if I had a towing hitch welded on?

    I have a 98 Ford Explorer Sport with a 4.0L V6 (no idea if it's OHV or SOHC) with a manual tranny. My bumper has a slot for a trailer ball but I know that wouldn't tow much at all. I was thinking about maybe having a company weld a towing package on the actual frame but is this a bad idea? And...

    Running lean -100 on bank 1? Possible causes?

    My check engine light came on a while ago and autozone told me it was running lean on bank one. I replaced my spark plugs and wires just cuz it had been over 3 years since that had been done and then my brother in law reset my check engine light and the light has stayed off but I noticed I was...
