In a 99 explorer that came with a power driver seat, but not heated, can i get a heated seat and plug it right in or does the heater use a separate circuit?

I just bought a 2nd generation explorer. A 99 v8. I have had my beloved 91 for 22 years and while it will be sad to let it go, it is time. I have had it listed for sale but no getting much interest, so I'm thinking of sending it to a junk yard. Before I do, I wanted to ask your suggestions on...

I have a 2000 F250 Powerstroke. I know there are some good forums out there for trucks like that but i dont belong to those forums, i belong to the best forum on the web, and the wealth of knowlege here never lets me down. So the previous owner bypassed the clutch safety switch and my truck...

I was thinking for the past couple weeks I should check the concentration of antifreeze in my coolant. If you're thinking the same thing, do it before its too late. I tried to drive it when the temperatures were in the negative 20s and it didn't work. I guess now its time to get serious about...

I have a 700R4 transmission with a hurst vmatic 2 shifter. Today when I got home and tried to shift into park it wouldn't go. I soaked the shifter in wd40 and tried to work it into anything other than N or D but it won't go. I finally decided maybe it wasn't the shifter and disconnected the...

I have a 1991 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4. The A4LD was replaced with a 700R4 about 30k miles ago. I had it serviced a month or two ago and the guy said it looked great inside. It runs great and shifts fine, but recently the torque converter stopped locking up. I checked voltage at the tranny and I'm...

I have a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer and I'm trying to fit 285/75/16 tires. I had them mounted at a tire shop and they said it was contacting the upper a-arm on the fronts. I didn't get a chance to measure it, or even see it for that matter. Has anyone put this size tire on a stock rim? What size...

There is a lot of good information about fiberglass techniques on this website. I want to do several projects like fender flares, dash, center console, etc. but I want to start with something easy with few angles and stuff. I need a case for my laptop, a camera case, and a rifle case. I think...

I thought that it would be easy to find on here, but after searching I can't find anything. How can I discharge the pressure so that I can start replacing parts? I assume most systems are similar, but mine is a 2002 Mountaineer with a V8. Thanks

I can't find any info on the Toyota forums, it makes me appreciate the good forum here. I figured I might be better off asking here. My brother has a stock 2wd 03 Tundra with 18" rims. The rims are corroding and need to be replaced. Will stock 08 Tundra rims fit? The diameter and bolt pattern...

I had an extremely rusty fuel filler neck. I pulled it off, cleaned it up, am ready to reinstall, but I don't want it to re-rust, so what kind of paint can I use to cover it? It will obviously be in direct contact with gasoline and I don't want to have the gunk of dissolving paint drip down...

Quite some time ago, I was rushing to get to the airport and my 700R4 dumped all of its tranny fluid. I rolled into a shop that filled it back up and sent me on my way. I made it about a half mile before it dumped it again. I was about 2 or 3 miles from home. I had to make my flight, so I...

Well, this is what happened. I live in Texas, my Explorer and motorcycle were in Utah, so I decided to tow them to Texas when I visited Utah. I changed the fluids and charged the battery since it had been sitting for a while. It fired right up once the battery had some juice. I left it running...

I have a '91 XLT. I have had it since 94 and I really like it. I don't really need it, but I can't really get a lot of money out of it so maybe I should just keep it. I put a 700R4 transmission in it and that was about 4 grand just for parts, so I don't want to lose that investment by selling...

I have a mountaineer with a locked up viscous coupling. My tranny shop wanted 700 bucks for the part and 500 bucks to put it in. Suffice it to say, I told them no. So I'm going to do it myself. I bought a coupling from www.stecouplers.com for 270. I've searched this sight and the web for...

I have a 91 explorer and the pressurized fuel line leading to the fuel pressure regulator is bad. The dealer only sells it as a complete unit and it is $250. Does it have to be that specific part, or can I just use bulk fuel injector line?

So, I'm finally finishing up the 700R4 conversion on my 91 explorer. Everything seems to be passing the test (knock on wood). I have good temps and pressure. Shifts are great. The only problem I have left is the transfer case. I push the 4x4 button and get no response. I pulled the dash...

Ok, so I replaced the hub assembly on my Superduty and the studs to hold the wheel on are a different thread pattern. The guy at NAPA said that the proper size is 14mm x 2.22. The only size close to that which I can find is 14 x 2.0. Is there a 2.22 thread pitch? or is the NAPA guy wrong? Of...

Ok, I have found it. This is what I have had in mind all along, but now there is a nice little article with the suspension I want. The only problem: its on a Jeep. Four Wheeler magazine's Killer Bee to be exact...

What type of fitting does the 700R4 use for the cooling lines? I have a 700R4 in my 91 Explorer, I have a leak in my cooling line adapters. I don't know if the guy cross-threaded it or what, but I am thinking of running new lines from the tranny to a new cooler so that Moab or just bumper to...

I have been thinking about racing seats for a long time, but I am cheap. So I'm going to start thinking about another Idea that I've had. My cousin does upolstry and would be able to help me redo my seats with whatever material I buy and could add some new pad and stuff and perhaps even put...

I know this site is dedicated to explorers, and I also know there is a forum for other makes and models, but I thought that the response would be better in the engine forum. I have been given a lot of great advise from this site over the years for my explorer and it has become the first place I...

I have enough $$$ going into my explorer right now, but when I decide to tackle the interior, I don't think it will end up the same color. I Plan to put racing seats in the front and cover the rear bench, so those will probably be black/red or charcoal or silver, I really haven't decided, but I...

I got a little life out of my dying A4LD. It started dying at 190,000 but I nursed it back to health and got up to 225,000. Now it is definately toasted but that is ok, because it is sitting in the shop next to a box full of parts from bowtie overdrives and advance adapters. I have everything...

Does anyone know of a good yet cheap mechanic in the salt lake city area that would be able to swap a 700R4 into my explorer? I've called a few places and they either don't do custom stuff or the charge a lot to do it. I thought about doing it myself, but if it can be done for a reasonable...
