I have a strange problem that i haven't seen before. The radiator cap is letting coolant seep out the filler neck. I looked at the cap, and it seems OK. I haven't tested much at this point. What I've found so far is that the upper hose gets pressurized when the engine is getting warm. I...

Just purchased a cream puff, which I am elastic about. I fell in love with it when I saw it. I traded my '94 for nearly nothing to get this. 2000 Ford Explorer Limited 5.0L / 302 V8 4spd auto AWD It came installed with: Lund rear spoiler Front push bar & PIAA lights Taillight guards which...

I have a local dealer begging me to buy this 99 Explorer Limited 4x4. I think it's AWD. How to tell? It's dark blue with 88k miles on it. Stock everything. It's very nice, and he wants to get rid of it...so the price is dirt cheap. I'm really tempted...it's pretty, and it's such a luxurious...

I have never seen this before - I compared both front wheels, and the driver's side tire sticks out farther than the passenger's side. The passenger side looks perfectly proportioned with the body. The driver's tire sticks out like I put on a spacer. I looked around and it doesn't seem it was...

I drive a '94 Explorer with 142k on her. I'm about to change every lube to Mobil 1 synthetic where possible [couldn't find a synthetic Type F for power steering, is there one?]. Changed the engine oil to Mobil 1 5w30 was the first thing I did. Next is the manual Mazda trans & the trans case...

I'm planning to change my '94 manual trans' fluid. I know it takes ATF, not gear oil. But I wanna go synthetic. Anyone run Mercon V in their M50Ds? I hear you shouldn't run V in any <'97 Ford. But alas that's all I could find around here. I wanna run Mobil 1 because everything else [well, only...

I tried to get the parts number from the dealer, but I was given the usual "too old" crap. I tried searching, but all I got was the troubleshooting threads. I'm OK - the posts are so badly corrored, the terminals are fused to the battery! I need new cables for both sides - positive and...

I can’t figure this one out. BEFORE I did any work on the cooling system, the heater was blowing warm air, but not as hot as it should. Lukewarm air is more like but, but it would heat the interior sufficiently given time. Now it doesn’t AFTER rehabbing the cooling system? How come? The...

My '94 has some cooling issues - doesn't get hot, gauge doesn't read temp., coolant is rusty brown, etc. I needed to verify if the coolant sending unit was working because the gauge did not report temp changes before I order a new one. I found the sending unit by the alternator and pulled the...

I went this morning to replace the radial arm bushings. First thing I did was to disconnect the driver's side sway bar. That went good. Then I proceeded to the driver's side lower shock mount. I'd sprayed some PB blaster on the shock mount bolt last night. It was rusted on tight. I couldn't...

I have a late '94 XLT with a lousy aftermarket CD player. I want to get rid of it and put the original radio back in. The only problem is, I don't know what it originally had. The only clues I have is that the right rear fender skirt is filled in with a speaker that reads "Ford JBL Audio". I...

I don't have the time to spend learning how to pre-bend and flare brake lines at the moment....is there a source for brake lines that are already pre-bent for my application? '94 Explorer XLT 4wd. Found brake fluid leaking at the tee fitting that splits between left and right wheels. Right...

I recently bought a new-to-me 1994 Explorer XLT. It currently has an aftermarket radio in it (Awia, I think.) I want to get rid of it and return to original. I asked the previous if he still had the factory radio. He said he tossed it. So I'm wondering what kinda radio did it had from the...

Totally out of blue, I saw a '94 maroon Explorer for sale while driving by a neighborhood. Welp, couldn't help myself. Went to check it out and knocked on the door. Guy came out and showed me the :exporange and told me the key was in the ignition. Keep in mind, this is my first time driving a...

I am looking at a '94 Exploder. The seller said it has a moon roof. I don't like moon roofs. Were they offered from factory? If so, are they troublesome or..? My big concern is the potential leak. Thanks.

Hi, I'm a newcomer to the :exp:s. I was looking for a daily driver and considered a 1st gen :roll:. Seems like this is the THE :exp: forum. Excellent. I'm only interested in the 1st gen because IMO they are the best looking generation. And I'm a cheap *******. :D I'd like classification on...
