My fabbin' experience leaves something to be desired! LOL Maybe i'll just transfer all the running gear from the explorer to the ranger and just clean up the frame... Thanks for the info tho...

I am looking at a 92 ranger thats 2wd and the frame is not as good as my explorer (body on the ex is finished :( ) and was wondering if the ranger would fit well on my explorer frame? The ranger and the explorer are both xlt models. Thanks

I have a 5 speed in my '91 too... Manual trans, manual t-case and manual hubs :)

Hey all... been here for a couple years mainly as a reader. Never had to post much beacuse most questions were already asked! Now I have a question that I couldn't find... When I turn the wheel, I have to fight with it to get it back to center. Changed the pump, pitman arm,and steering box...

ya but i have, as a mechanic called, a "hard error" which causes both my abs AND e-brake light to stay on

thank-you all for the replies!!! I found out that the howling from the front of the engine is my fan clutch seized in engaged mode. Fan turns at the same rpm as the engine now!!! well overheating wouldn't be a concer now!!! lol. the whining from the tranny only happens when the clutch is...

When i first started wheeling, i sunk my x in a pool of water. front half of the truck, and the dash(water came into the truck up to the seat) were under water... when i pulled it out, drained the water from every possible area, i was able to run my truck just fine. electrical (fuse box was...

Hey all, its been a while since i have been here... glad to see there are more and more x lovers!!! OK here are my problems. 1- 5 speed manual whines except when a press the clutch (fluid is up) 2- just jumpped in the x today and there is a major howling noise from the engine...

ok. thnx for the info. i will reply after its done to let you all know how it went!!!

A friend just informed me of a ranger thats been written off... now my explorer need a new engine so i was wondering if there is and compaitbility issues between a 91 ranger 4.0 and a 91 explorer 4.0? Also, i would like to know if the entire drive train would fit the explorer?

It doesn't make any noise when locked and in 2wd. There is however some drag but i guess that would be because of the diff being driven by front wheels. the sound is worse under load IE: accelerating makes more noise than coasting.

I have read a few messages about front end noises when in 4wd. They all relate to auto hubs... what about manual hubs? It snowed today and when i locked the hubs (manual)and put it into 4wd, 4wd light didn't come on and i heard/felt clunking (or grinding) in the front diff. would this be just...

no prob...

The pressure in the rad was due to a bad thermostat and bad pump. I just replaced the rad, pump and thermostat.

Well all, thank you all for your help! I went to a mechanic friend of my dads and we narrowed it down to either a cracked or warped head. Gasket is definately shot.

what is the best way to tell if a head is cracked without taking it off? I had no heat and fluid was leaking out the weep hole in the bottom of the pump... I asked around about it and everyone told me the pump was shot. I went to get a pump and on my way back (even though i filled the rad that...

I have a 5 speed so it wont be the tranny. I'll look into the valve and sensor. I'll keep you all updated. Thank you all for the ideas!!!

No. there was no water in the cylinders and none that spit out the plug holes. What is the MAS sensor? where is it located?

hardest part is removing the clutch fan. make sure you do that b-4 you remove the pump from the engine or remove the belt! It requires a "special ford tool" which I thought i DIDN'T need but wound up getting anyways. everything else is a walk in the park. 1.Empty your rad. 2.remove the fan...

i went through water about door deep but went through fast. Water came up over my windsheild then the engine died (when i was out of the water). Took out my plugs and turned it over a few times but no water came out. When i took off my intake tube, there was a little water down the intake and my...

sometimes all day long. Not like cold start but still see the smoke. Cold start is soo bad you cannot see around the truck

I have a feeling it has something to do with fuel/air mix. How do i know if a sensor is toast?

Hey all, i'm fairly new here. I have a question... I have a 91 xlt. Recently swampped the intake. No damage done except i now have a LARGE amount of white smoke comming out my exaust when she does a cold start. There are little puffs when she is warm. Is this something i can fix or is the engine...

I had viberations too which was my rear driveshft bolts at the tranny where they bolt to the ujoint.

I just had the same problem... check your water level... if it is a little low then your water pump is toast. My pup would still spin, minimal leakage but no hot air. I changed the pump then boom. I have hot air again!

I have a 91 4dr explorer... I feel the manual transmission is a godsend when climbing the hills or playing in the mud. With automatics, you cant really control how slow you go and you can't really use engine compression when wanting to go downhill slowly.
