Cool, good idea. I'll look around the area and online and see what I can come up with. Is it fairly difficult to swap out a motor? Is it a diy or something that a shop should/could/would do?

I'll get pictures as soon a I can. Let me ask you this. It's a 93 EB w/ over 300k on it. I jsut had the tranny rebuilt and that's running fine. Would it be worth the amount to resurface the heads and replace the gasket, or do you think it's time for a rebuild? What would be more cost effective...

Mmm, that sucks. I just refilled my radiator and it maintains a "middle of the road" temp, but normally it's on the N in Normal. I'd rather have middle of the road than red hot, though :D The funny thing is, I filled it up, drove about 10 miles, then opened the cap and saw that it needed to be...

Hah, it's awsome to see this thread taking off like it has :D I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been involved in moving to AZ from PA and it's been a *****. It seems my Explorer is having some issues, too. You can read about them here...

Okay, here's the scoop. I have two issues that just came up after driving from coast to coast (moved from PA to AZ). First, here's what's happening. My truck will start and the temp gauge will read cold. After about 30 seconds of being on the road, it'll race all the way up to near redline in...

That's actually a good question. I found a place that sells 50-pin to 40-pin IDE converters that'll allow me to use the slim CD drive. Linux will be the more challenging route, but I'm feeling like I can make things look more stock as I go. Hopefully soon I can post about the software side of...

That one isn't bad, but in this type of project I would personally want to get a touchscreen monitor such as this one. It's relatively cheap and I've heard a lot of good things about it. Then comes the question, though, of whether it's something I'll end up using in this build. One of the...

chetzar, Sweet deal :) Maybe this will help you out So I'm back and I have pictures. To start out, I'm going to talk about the hardware I'm using, present and future. I'm also going to delve into a little bit of history, since I've been working on this project for a little while alongside my...

Okay, so some of you have seen me around on here from time to time learning as much as I can and trying to help others using what y'all have taught me :) Y'all have been here since I bought my first 93 Eddie about 4 months ago and the information you've provided has been invaluable in my endevor...

Just a shot in the dark, but a shot that might be right is better than no shot, right? Maybe you need to recharge your AC? This guy seemed to be having the same problem as you. Maybe it'll help: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1261332

That's a good point, too. Pardon my inexperience, but wouldn't you eventually burn up your starter or break something if you sat there trying to start it like that? I wouldn't know, but I'd imagine you would. Either way, it can be done with less than like $5 today as opposed to that $50 kit that...

Like BB said, check your levels first. Sounds like you're out of fluid. Was there ever a big ol' puddle wherever you parked that you noticed? If so, sounds like the front seal broke. Then again, my inexperienced diagnosis is like a doctor saying someone is in pain :P As far as upgrades...

Nice to see another x owner :thumbsup: Kinda in that ring, too. Just bought a 93 Eddie. Mostly needs cosmetic work, and I'm guessing the engine will need work considering it has 233k on it. It's been three weeks and it's still not inspected >.> Did I just say that?

Cut one of the wires going to the starter solenoid and run them through a toggle or button switch. Then run the wire from the switch to the starter solenoid. Basically, the switch has to be flipped/pressed or else you can't start it. Go to Home Depot for the switch. It's like $1.50. You can rig...

Hah, welcome to the forums! I just bought a '93 Eddie the other week, too, and it needed a lot of work. I'm picking it up from AAMCO this week (it needed work done to it that needed to be done pronto, as it's now my daily driver since my Alero is out of commission), but I still intend on...

I don't personally know, but the person to ask is Glacier991. He's the tranny guru here. If it were a first gen, I might have been able to help :D

I just tried that switch thing again, and it must have a blown fuse or something because it doesn't work. I'll have to look for a diagram on the forums here of the fuse box, seeing as how I don't have one.

Hah, yes, it's bad. We towed it on a flatbed, but we had to give it fluid to get it up on the trailer. It bled all over the place. Took a full 5 quarts to get it up there.

Ooooo, nice. I had no idea what it was. I haven't tried it with the switch on yet, so that's why it wasn't doing anything. I only paid $700 for the truck, so when all is said and done and I get the transmission done, I'll have paid about... $1500 for it? Sweet deal, in my opinion, especially...

So I towed it home today and I have some pics, a video, and some questions! :D Tranny leak :-( I can't seem to figure out what those switches do. Are they part of the sunroof? http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/jrlcrist/?action=view&current=MOV00671.flv - Video of...

Hah, Amen, brotha :thumbsup:

Hey there :cool: Welcome to the family! Glacier991 is the tranny guru around here, and I'm sure he'll be able to answer any questions you might have, as well as the high-standing individuals in this forum. Where in PA is Linwood? I live down in the York area in Stewartstown. Never heard of...

We're all with ya bud. Just ask around and search the forums. All the answers are here. And, I agree. Be careful of that mod virus that's been going around :cool: It's said to alter the appearance and functionality of your truck. Nasty little bugger.

Yeah, man. Fix the truck up first, install a hidden ignition switch (I have a toggle switch in my ash tray. I'm going to see about a coded ignition like in Transporter 2), THEN go after the s.o.b. that hurt your pledged baby :salute: Keep it legal though.

When all is said and done, I'm hoping to get the front seal fixed ASAP and start modding it out. I don't particularly want a rock crawler, but maybe a nice trail rider to do some offroading in. I tried it in my '00 Olds Alero... didn't work out so well ;)
