Hey guys, I am back driving the 94 Explorer again. I noticed when it is colder outside i get a loud hiss/whine type noise coming from the engine when I am over 5o-60km/hr. When I slow down it goes away, speed up it comes back. Ive looked around but I cannot get it to make the noise at idle or...

I bought a 05 F150 in December as my old peice of crap died on the highway, and i want to lift it. I have researched it and will probly go with Pro COmp or Skyjacker. I am curiour though, has anyone put a lift on these yet and experianced it. Only reason I ask is because of the rear shock...

I finally put a rebuilt transmission into the "X" this last weekend but after a few hours of driving it revs up to almot 2500rpm before it shifts into any gear after it leave the previous gear. Is this a bad rebuild or could it be another problem??? I was so happy to take it off of the...

my 94 has 253k and it finally is dead. I do have to say i got a hell of a lot of milage out of it. Now the only problem is that they want so much to rebuild the damn thing that i dont really want to do it. I may buy something else. I was looking at a 99 sport for a good price. If i can find...

I got me a pair of pioneer TS-A6961R 6x9 speakers to put into my work truck and i am just curious how big the box should be for these things for the best sound. There are no placement issues as they are just gonna sit behind the passenger seat and there is alot of room. I just need to know...

Well this morning I had been hearing a grinding noise from my rear brakes on the passenger side so i took the wheel and the drum off and had a look. I was very suprised to see that the self adjuster was gond and had been greound down so it look like a pencil, one shoe was bent inward away from...

I did the passenger side no problem, i loosened the adjuster screw and the drum came off, but no matter what i do i cant get the drivers side off. I tried the adjuster screw both ways fully and it wont come off, what can i do to get it off?

Ok so I am gonna buy my uncles 85 ranger 4x4 but the clutch is mega fubared. You can start the vehicle but after that the clutch does not work at all. you can shift through 1 or 2 gears and then no more. it wont go into gear because the clutch does not engage when u press the pedal. I have...

Just curious if anyone has used these sway bar bushings. They are alot cheaper than energy suspension and they look cool. Also does the same kit(#6325) work on the front and the back?http://www.jamesduff.com/broncoII/bodylifts.html

So I changed my passenger side wheel bearing l2-3 weeks ago and now it is loose. Is there anyway that the locknut can come loose(manual hubs) Also I might have not set the bearing cup all the way into the rotor. If this is the case what is the best way to push it in all the way into the...

Well I recently found out that when I put on my rear defrost, my battery charge gauge keeps getting lower until I turn off the defrost. Also everytime I use my power windows the gauge makes a big jump toward low charge. I changed my batterie cables about a week ago because they were big time...

OK. So I checked out my brakes this morning and when i was looking at the passenger inside shoe I discovered it is falling apart. My mom heard a squeek so I checked it. Good thing I did. Anyway I need to know if I can reuse my old caliper slide pins, and what kinda grease I should use on...

Tonight when I went to drop my friend off at home my radio didnt come on when I started the 'X'. I tried to turn it on but nothing. The buttons still light up but there is no sound and no display. Is it a fuse or could it be something else. It is almost ten yrs old so mabye it just died.

How hard is it to change the front brakes on a 94X. I have ABS and I want to do it myself. Dealers charge too much. I have mechanical experiance but havent done brakes before. Please let me know soon I am goin to do them tomorrow. Thanks

I did a quick search and I couldnt find anything so I was wondering. Can you take the TTB D44 out of an earlier Ford truck and swap it onto my X. I want full size axles but I cant afford a straight axle swap. Any comments or other suggestions on what I can do would be great. Thx BTW I have a...

On Thursday I had just left the shop to go drop some parts off, and my boss called me. I needed to get some parts I had forgot, so I took a shortcut. Normally it is pretty easy to get through, but it has rained since tuesday so it was mushy. I was fine until I had to climb up the othe sider...
