While trying to reprogram the keypad on the door, I think I erased the factory code from the computer, and now I'm screwed. Is there any way I can recover it, or set a new code without having the factory one in the computer?

I've had 3 first gen Explorers so far. I currently own a 94 Eddie Bauer 4x4. I recently determined that I need a second vehicle, so after some shopping around, some math, and some hemming and hawing, I decided to pull the trigger on this. A 2013 limited awd. 93 xlt that I lifted Another 93...

I saw the full episode years ago, but I wanted to watch it again. It's an old top gear from 93 that features an Explorer vs. Cherokee. There's three parts to this episode on YouTube, but part one is about half the length as the others... And that would be where the rest of the Explorer is tested.

After tonight, my wonderful 94 Eddie will have carried me just over 2000 miles in the last week and a half. Aside from the a/c compressor taking a crap on me (20 minute fix in the parts store parking lot), it's been a fairly uneventful journey. It's a testament to the reliability of these...

I've had this 94 Eddie for a few years now. I've wanted to do something like my first Explorer. It was a 93 that I did the 5.5" superlift with a set of 33's. I loved that thing. Well, tomorrow, I'm going to be picking up a set of 32" bfg a/t's mounted on black wagon wheels. Hopefully, I'll be...

I've had three of these truckstrucks, and none of them have had backlighting on the door lock and window switches. Then, yesterday, someone posted on Facebook that theirs used to light up, but has since burned out. Are there lights on these things?

The previous owner of my truck kept meticulous service records, and man, was he on top of things! I was going through them all last night, trying to see when the last trans flush had been done. Unfortunately, I only found one receipt for it... At 85k. With as on the ball he was about making...

Grabbed one out of the junk yard this morning. I've already got an aftermarket head unit, and I'm no stranger to wiring in an amp and subs, but nothing is labeled on this one, and I need to know what the different wires are. The amp still has the main plug on it, and I left a few inches of wire...

It looks pretty close.

Finally found a nice class 3 hitch. Got it off a second gen, so I have to drill a couple holes for it to mount properly before I can actually use it. ItsIt's a 5000lb round tube hidden hitch. Glad I kept looking because I found one of the square tube ones that I almost pulled. I like the round...

Just curious. I know most of us get quite a bit out of the motor before a rebuild is in order, and I know a lot of people say that the a4ld is a weak point, so I was just curious how many miles some of you have put on a factory a4ld. I'll start... 265k so far and still shifts like butter.

Had a massive coolant leak last night. I thought for sure it had to be a hose... You know, where else are you going to find a hole that big? I checked all the hoses, and they were all good. So I put some water in it and fired it up. Ah! There it is! Right at the top of the water pump. Good...

Alright, here's the deal. My first gen uses the good (and by good, I mean not good) Ole 9004 headlight bulbs. I've tried several different brands over the years, in the hopes of actually being able to see at night. I work ridiculously long hours. No matter the time of year, it's dark when I...

After working a solid 14 hour day, you bet your bottom dollar I was ready to head home. Head out to the truck, and fire it up. It's a bit chilly tonight, so I waited a few minutes for her to warm up. She's old (236k miles), so I try to take it easy on her. . How does she show her appreciation...

I was always having problems with my truck running warm on nice hot days. It never actually overheated, but would get warm enough to make me uncomfortable, and the a/c wouldn't blow nearly as cold (it gets pretty hot here in central Florida). About a month ago, my water pump took a dump on me...

After replacing the water pump a couple weeks ago, she would still run a little warm while sitting at idle on a hot day. I had no idea how old the existing thermostat was, so I decided to replace it (should have done it at the same time as the water pump.). Went ahead and got the 180* to make...

At highway speed, I always get a bit of wind noise around the doors. Back when I had my super duty, there was a fix for this... You would run small tubing through the weather stripping, causing it to be thicker, thus making a better seal. The weather stripping on the x looks to be in really...

Found one for next to nothing. Need to know before I go buy it.

Saw a small spot of rust poking out from behind the passenger side side skirt. I've been meaning to pull them off anyway, since I just don't much care for them. That small spot turned into this.... No good. Looks like I'll be ordering a replacement dog leg soon. Good thing they're so...

I'm going to be redoing the headliner in my 94 eddie, and wanted some opinions on what to use. I'm going with the digital camo, but I'm not sure if I want to use the woodland or desert. The truck is green with tan interior. Which does everyone think would look best?

The other night, I was on my way home from work, when I got a faint smell of something electrical burning. Within a matter of 3 seconds, the entire cabin was filled with smoke. I immediately shut the engine off, and pulled over. I had the a/c on, so smoke was blowing everywhere. I had no clue...

I've got a 1000w amp that I've been using for years. Took my subs out a few months ago to make some room, but when I put them back it, the amp wasn't coming on. After checking all the wiring, I decided to open up the amp... To find this. Two spots of corrosion, with one of the bars broken. Is...

Pretty straight forward question. . Where do you place it? Cup holder? Dash board? Tranny tunnel? I was looking at those magnetic mounts... The one that just sticks on your dash so you don't have that big goofy arm hanging from your windshield. Looks pretty slick, amd for $15, it might be...

My third... And prettiest first Gen. Just after a bath.

I've got a 94 Explorer, 4x4, 3.73 gears, with the "tow package"... I've also got a 7,000lb travel trailer. If I install a class three hitch, and an auxiliary trans cooler, would it be possible to tow this thing about 20 down the road?
