Hmm...having never worked on your model year and looking only at your pics, my opinion is it looks like there is room to drop the pan, but the real mother trucker for you will be getting a ratchet on the pan bolt(s) over the exhaust - make sure it is cold before you try. Also, it looks like...

It all sounds harder than it really is, if you can change your motor oil and filter, you can do this. I just gave it in super-detailed format because that's how I like my instructions -- I hate when stuff is left out or left to guessing. Just allow for the time to do it right and not rush, and...

See this thread for a good step-by-step on changing your transmission fluid. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144226 Also, something that I've never seen in print anywhere (including my Chiltons repair manual): the drain plug for the 91-94 transfer case is hidden behind...

To Future Tranny Fluid Do-It-Yourselfers (helpful additions to this step-by-step): I disconnected the line coming down from the aux. cooler closest to the passenger side and routed the disconnected rubber line from the cooler to a clear tube (from hardware store) into gallon jugs marked with...

Van, I know the type of cloud you're talking about when mud and water hit the exhaust system and make a cloud of steam. When what I'm refering to happened on the trail, it was definitely coming out of the tailpipe, not from something baking on it. I guess I'll take it to the shop and see...

..one other thing. My cause for concern is that while wheeling over the weekend, it put out a *massive* smokescreen of this white stuff going down the trail. (Very embarassing in front of a bunch of Jeep Libertys) which it has not done before on that scale or in the day since. About an hour...

No check engine light. The white smoke does clear up once it's been running. If I shut it off for an hour or so then start back up, it comes back. It does not smell like sulfur; it has what I'd call a "sweet" smell to it, like rich in fuel perhaps? (It does not smell like a black burning oil...

I have white exhaust smoke coming from the tailpipe until my engine warms up. It smells sweet/rich and water droplets are blowing out from it. When I start the engine, it doesn't seem to run smoothly, and when I put it in gear and press the gas it acts like it might stall but never (yet) does...

Hey 410Fortune, Does the transmission fluid on a '92 run through the main Radiator along with the engine coolant as you're describing, or is the Radiator-to-Cooler setup you're describing on later models? When I look at the front end of my '92, I see a smaller radiator about 8" x 12" (est.)...

"9. The 2000 has an extra trans fluid cooler. Older models may not. You'll want to unplug the rubber hose from the radiator or trans cooler that feeds the in line of the transmission. This is the top line coming out of the trans. If you have the extra cooler like I do, it is the left line when...

Hi Glacier, "1. Follow the bottom most line from the trannie, that is the outflow line" Should I then disconnect this bottom most line at the cooler? Will I then attach my makeshift drain hose to the disconnected line or the fitting on the cooler? Thanks!

Hi Ben, sorry about the sig, I've shortened it. I've also updated my email, so if you try me again, I'd appreciate it!

Hi Guys, I have a 1992 4WD Explorer and I'm taking the plunge and changing my Transmission and Transfer Case fluids myself. I've read a ton of past threads in research, but I still have unanswered questions: 1) Which line do I disconnect from the tranny cooler for doing a low...

How does one check the alignment on these pulleys? (Beyond eyeballing something drastically wrong)

(BTW, not to get off track, but a big slap upside Ford engineers' heads for puting a perfect water/air intake right behind the passenger headlight and opening near the grill and not puting the necessary warning sticker about said "performance" feature on my sunvisor, woulda been alot more...

Ok, thinking it's not the fan clutch now, no noticable wobble. Not noticing any coolant leaks around the pump, it was just swapped of my previously working/lately hydrolocked-slaughtered original engine onto a donor used block, RVT'd-up real good. This was about six months ago. I now think...

I was/am having problems with a fan belt-area squeaking on my 92 X. It is a rythmic squeaky chirping sound, fast paced, only at idle or near idle speeds. When I get on the gas up to 1800-2000 rpm it goes away. The fan belt is in ok shape (actually put an old one on as the "new" 6 month-old one...

Hello. I just had my X in for PA state inspection and they said the steering gearbox is bad b/c of the lift/steering angles (4" sus., 3" body), but I have a pitman arm on it. I have noticied no steering problems (sloppiness) to speak of other than minor ones to be expected with a lift. How do...

I had my trans case motors go out a few years back (I think it cost $300-$350 to get them replaced, dunno fer sure, Grandpa had it done right before I bought the X off him :D ) Some general problem with them from that era (early 90's), the stock ones just go bad after awhile. If you replace...

I'm still all for hitting raush (German for "rock"?) creek soon. I think it was a good idea to PP it. Am about to leave in 5 minutes to do some local wheelin' in Clarion, PA instead. :) As for my style, I like to push the limits of what my truck and I can do, but it's also my *only*...

So what's going on with meeting? Where, when? One of the hotels, the trailhead campsite? I'd like to meet up with you guys Friday night somewhere, if possible. Somebody please answer--I need to know. Also, what time are we hitting the trail Saturday? (I just found out of a death in the...

So, who's as pumped for this weekend as me??? This'll be my first time wheeling with other Explorers :redexp: :D Getting all new major fluid changes before the run, my freaking temp gauge fixed, extended breather lines added, and oh yeah, a tow strap :rolleyes: Any word on a meeting spot...

...so, based on that article: original teeth +1 tooth = -5 mph correction, so it stands to reason, then, that: original teeth - 1 tooth = +5 mph speedo correction and original teeth - 2 teeth = +10 mph speedo correction Mine reads 55 when I'm going 65, so I need a new gear with...

Let me start off by saying I have read all the pertaining old posts on this and I'm still not sure what gear I need. Here's why: "You need to know what stock speedometer gear you have before making your calculations." Well, I hear it's really easy to check, but my speedo cable/gear housing...

Count me in. Maybe it's a little early in the game to ask, but when and where are we meeting? The park, on Saturday, of course, but how 'bout getting together beforehand on Friday night :D ? Iwon't be able to get to the area until around 10 o'clock. I'm thinking about staying in one of the...
