    1994 Auto, changed fluid, now no 2nd gear, hard to upshift

    I added a transmission fluid temp gauge today. I decided to install it in the side of the pan. So I dropped the pan, installed the sending unit out of the way of internal components, put a new gasket on and re-installed the pan. When I first started tightening bolts I heard a plastic click. I...

    Lvin4jc's "Dora" Budget Trail Rig Build

    Well I finally have a minute to start a build thread. This Explorer has been a lot of fun already and we're just getting started, heck, I haven't even gone off road yet, just preparing. Here she is the day I brought her home. Low, horrible ground clearance, front wheels were both about to fall...

    I manually shifted T-case to 4hi and it slipped out after a week, fluke?

    Ok, that was a long title, wasn't sure how else to say it, lol. My shift motor (probably) went out and I wanted to test 4x4 function so I removed the shift motor and just manually shifted it to 4HI. This seems very common according to what i've seen on this forum. This is a trail rig so my...

    Battery draining overnight, can't find the draw anywhere.

    My battery drains overnight, every night. But if I unhook the battery and let the truck sit for a week when I hook it back up it starts fine. So I checked for a draw with a multimeter. Last week I had something like a 00.12 amp draw (I have no stereo in the dash so the clock memory isn't even...

    Got the bad news today, headgaskets...

    Oh boy. Well I guess i'l be committed to this project now. I had heard about the 4.0 and it's reputation for overheating so when I bought the truck last week I closely inspected the oil and antifreeze for any signs of mixing. I didn't see any of that in either, nothing visually, not by feel, not...

    '94 4x4 button on dash does nothing, where to start?

    Basically it does nothing, no light by button, no light on dash, no motor noise from underneath. Is it likely the switch or a relay/fuse or the motor? What is most likely and how do I check it? Thanks!

    New guy with 1st gen

    Hi all, Joe from Rapid City, SD here. I drive a rat rod during the summer so I decided to get something I could off road with and drive in the winter. After a bunch of research the Explorer won me over (The fact that i've been a lifelong Ford guy helped a little). So yesterday I picked up a...

    New guy deciding between Explorer and Durango?!?

    Hi there, my name is Joe Smith. My wife and I are currently looking for a small SUV. We currently live in Oklahoma, but will soon be moving back home up north (Montana/Wyoming) so 4X4 is a requirement. We are looking at the '95-'02 generation explorers. I'd like to know which ones to look for...
