It really sounds like the transfer case, did you listen to see where the noise itself is coming from? Like, is it coming from the transfer case? Sometimes the noises can transfer down the driveshaft - but where exactly is the grinding and clunking coming from? Try replacing the fluid in the...

Anyone know of a good place to get the cruise control switches? I don't wanna spend $89 and mine are all screwed up. Trying to fix all the odds and ends now that the truck is running better.

Also, what does anyone think about running Seafoam through the brake booster after using head gasket sealant? go for it or no bueno? The truck is running so good I'm considering finishing the suspension. Need two new sway link bars and inner tie rod ends.. could probably use bearings and...

Well we were on the Highway the other night and the check engine light started flashing and the truck was shaking like mad. Wouldn't go over 50MPH and I knew from previous experience a flashing CEL meant there was a misfire. I pulled my foot off the gas and coasted as much and as often as I...

I went to get an alignment done on my wife's '96 XLT before replacing the tires because the driver's side tire is completely bald on the outside and the passenger side was showing wire on the inside. The tech said the lower ball joint and sway link bar are shot on the drivers side so no point in...

Yeah, a decent remanufactured one on RockAuto will set you back about $100+shipping. I've been shopping myself. Not too keen on the eBay ones although if you have no aftermarket electronics shouldn't be an issue. I'd look at the ones on Rock Auto and forget refurbing yours unless it's a HO alt...

What product did you use for stop-leak? There's one at wally world that's like $35 that looks decent but I've also seen K-Seal HD which is supposed to work well. My thing is putting that **** in there and winding up with more problems. Never been too big of a fan of the stop leak items. Fuel...

Hey guys, My wife has a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT. Today when she went to work she was backing in to her parking spot and the truck stalled and the battery light came on and check gauge light came on. She started the truck to go to lunch around noon today and the truck was in drive and moving...

Naw, I understand it all. My thing is I kind of cut the connector close because the wires in the dash weren't much to work with as it was. I could splice it back on with some work but just as much work to run my own speaker wires. I still haven't tried this to see if it'll work but my wife isn't...

That was actually a question I posted over on caraudio forums.. can I take the aftermarket kenwood harnses, take the positive/negative wires and solder speaker wire on to them and run them right to the speakers? That was the route I wanted to take but never received an answer if it was feasible...

toypaseo, I've already cut the molex connector in the dash - can I still buy a kit and run it from the amp or not at this point? Sigmo, I've done tons of radio installations and have never had as many issues as I'm having with this vehicle, haha. There's always been a quick harness plug and...

My cousin and I went to install my wife's aftermarket HU into her 1996 Ford Explorer XLT today. The harnesses did not connect to the connectors inside of the dash. I was under the impression I purchased the wrong harness so I figured we'd just hard wire the radio in. After doing some research I...

http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/stereodetail/859.html is what I intended to go off of, where did you get your wiring diagram that was no good?

Alright, hard wiring it is.. damn, wanted the easy way out. I don't want to pay $13 from the parts store or wait a week from eBay anyways.

So.. I bought an aftermarket HU for my wife's '96 and I went to isntall it tonight and the harness that SonicElectronix sent doesn't fit the connectors coming from inside the dash.. this is a non premium harness. I was under the impression the "premium" sound system was the JBL set-up.. the...

I decided I wanted to go with the monroe sensatrac and get the warrior 153 shackles ... the springs are on amazon.com and that's where I plan on getting them. I can't find the bushings anywhere on ATS springs.. Do I need to order anything else with the warrior 153 shackles? Do they come with...

So my leaf spring shackle is rotted out (like half of it is missing, lol). I have to drive from Connecticut back to North Carolina like this but as soon as I get back I want to get it fixed. I was looking at rockauto.com and I see two options when I select Leaf Spring Shackle, they are...

Hello Friends, I have a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0 and recently I've been having very rough idles at start up almost to the point where the vehicle sounds like it wants to die. If I rev it a few times it'll be a little less worse but not the best. As well, pedal all the way to the floor...

Hey thanks for the reply tm33, I appreciate it! I'm going to search for the discount code to use, because I'll be ordering a lot from them.. Springs, Spring Shackles, Shocks, Wires and Plugs. I'll probably order the little stuff from there too depending on shipping, Oil Filter, Air...

Replacing Leaf springs seems like an easy enough task, my question is ordering them.. What all needs to be ordered with a leaf spring? What's a "good" enough leaf spring? (No towing, but often a full car of kids + gear (strollers, camping gear, luggage, all of the above).. We have a 1996...

I wasn't really looking for instructions as much as I was tips. I'm sure the MECP guide would teach me things I don't know, but I'm not looking to spend $60 to obtain a few tidbits of information, that's what forums are for! I do appreciate your help. I re-ran the wires, using a...

Little bit of information; It's my girlfriends 95 EX, but it's hands down my favorite toy as far as any vehicle goes. It's a lot of fun to work on and very easy to improve. When She got the truck, the radio bezel was all smashed and cracked (whoever removed it the first time, didn't unscrew...

Title states my question, just wondering so I can broaden my search lol. Thanks in advance!
