yeah I was going to say lol http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3183166 thats easier than linking pictures and retyping everything, though I gotta add pages and more pics. AND remember to update it as I go. I still had my car domain account for my long gone 99 intrepid lol nice ride btw chris, I...

LOL i was just in the middle of registering when I got the email ding for your post

took a bunch of pics but now I need to go setup a place to upload pics too now that I dont have my own webspace anymore hehe

gah! now I gotta go take pictures of the center console I've added (though not done). Lemme go take pics and resize them and you guys can see what ive done and what I plan to do! :)

LOL spd, guess all the searching in the world doesnt do a damn bit of good if you search in the wrong place ;) nice job with the battery. Boggs, if you cut the pocket out, theres MILES of room back there. theres so much room behind that trim panel with the pocket removed I thought about...

Oh! just as a side note RE: that passenger side spark plug in the back... apparently MrQ, you and I are smarter than the ford guy at my dealership. Before I owned the truck the original owner took it in every 2-3k like clockwork for service. When I got around to changing the plugs after I bought...

Ooooh I was just thinking the air intake hose, didnt realize you meant the radiator hose too. I hate changing coolant lines, its a PITA imho. My engine was red hot when I did mine, I just let it sit for a couple hours and it was tolerable, though id much rather wait till it was cool lol

hey yo, good write up! Just to add, the spark plug nearest the firewall on the passenger side is actually pretty easy to get to from the wheel well if you just turn the wheel all the way to the right (i think it was). Didnt have to jack it up or anything :) I did not bother removing the air...

Sooooo today I took on the 15 minute task of installing my alpine 9815 (dont laugh, that thing has been with me through 3 cars and is still sexy as the day I bought her! ;)) into my 94 exploder. Well, it would have been 15 minutes had I done a google search before hand. I used the install sleeve...

cleaned the MAF with QD contact cleaner, actually. The thing that concerns me, or rather why im not so sure its a fuel problem, is that its so predictable and intermittent. It might not do it at all, but it if it does run rough at start up I just flick the key off and start the engine again and...

picked one up today, as a matter of face. 10 bucks. i LOVE this thing lol parts can be so freakin cheap sometimes. Its going in tomorrow. 100 bucks for the fuel pressure regulator, though, so hopefully the fuel filter will do me some good, though im not so sure :\

we will be waiting :D

Sooo I went through the whole thing when I got my 94 xlt last week. aside from brake work, I removed the MAF and cleaned all the black crap off it, ran the tank almost dry and added a tank of high octane (91), added a can of seafoam to the gas tank, changed the oil, oil filter, checked the air...

I second fixxxer's post. RELAY! you can (if you wanted to) add a switch in addition to the relay also, allowing you to switch the lights on and off but also come on automatically when the parking lights come on. You could use your parking light leads, low beams, high beams, I've even installed...

ok these are words from some time ago when I spent all my time installing systems. 99.9% of the time people that came back to us with dimming issues, we could resolve the problem without new alts. or giant chrome capacitors. only once was it actually a bad alternator, not just an...

did you gunk it and not spray it down thoroughly enough? I just gunked yesterday and the smell of diesel made me nauseous all day yesterday lol seth, thats a brilliant idea. I might consider doing that now just to make fuel pump changes down the road easier!

have you searched the forums for info on the transfer case motor? I read several VERY well written articles about common problems and very simple driveway fixes. both explorer4x4.com and explorerforum.com have a ton of info :) as for the rust, is it rebuildable at all or all sheet metal work...

I'm assuming its an automatic? If it were a stick id be eye ballin the throwout bearing or slave... if its an automatic id be eye ballin a good tranny guy because I dont know the first thing about automatic trannys ;)

Hah! I still got 50k to go... congratulations to you both.

did the oil filter with the oil change / lucas job, and the air filter was absolutely spotless. like, not even a little dusty. The gas filter on the other hand... thats going to be a weekend project. Just me, a couple wrenches, 2 vice grips, and 3 cans of PB. ahh I hate old gas filters.

just a little update... ok a big one... first, I had my mechanic do the front right brakes today. he pulled both wheels and found both calipers caked in grit and grease. he cleaned them off and viola, brakes dont hang in the slightest. He also checked the rear drums, and when he took the rear...

Hey guys! I just on saturday picked up a 94 XLT. My 2nd ford, the first one by choice however :) 150k miles, and was immaculately kept and maintained. I bought it just to kill it over the winter and junk it in the spring, but the more I read about the Gen 1's and the 4.0's bulletproofedness (if...

does it crank, but not start, or not crank at all?

Hey kids. Just found this place tonight for the first time... changed my view completely about my exploder! I just a few days ago picked up my first one, a 94 XLT with about 150k miles on it. It was just supposed to be a cheap beater for the winter (my grand prix aint too hot in the snow :P )...
