Well, I came home from a trip with a few friends to my mountain house. We went camping one night in the middle of the woods and had some fun on the trails with my explorer. I came home to a surprise. My parents asked me if I would be willing to trade it in. So I went for it since I am going to...

I am getting ready for a trip this weekend to go riding with a few friends on dirt bikes and quads. I had a towing package, but I wanted to wire in the 4 pin myself. I did that and had many issues with the grounds. I bought a T connector with a 4 pin and plugged it in. All of the lighting worked...

I am leaving for a trip on Monday. Instead of spending the extra cash for the ford wiring that plugs into the 8 pin towing package. I thought I would splice it in myself. :cool: After cutting off the 8 pin plug and stripping the wires, I wired everything together. Yellow to yellow, green to...

I bought and installed a 4-pin plug so I could tow a trailer in about 2 weeks with a few dirt bikes and ATV's to my mountain house. I wired everything up color by color, but it doesn't seem to be working. Why are there 3 colors and 4 blacks? Which blade wire to I need to hook up and what do the...

I have had an engine ping when I first bought my explorer back in May of 2008 and I cleaned off the MAS and it went away. The Ping is back again and I don't know what else I can do. I spent my day off from work today doing a tune up on my explorer. Oil Change - Mobile 5000 Oil Filter -...

I am heading up to my mountain house in August for a 4 day trip with about 10 friends. We are taking a convoy of 3 cars. I in my explorer, stock hight, towing a 2 quads in a trailer, friends Dodge RAM 1500 with a dirtbike in the back, and my other friends SUV to bring up my other friends. I know...

So my new edelbrock performance IAS shocks came today. I only got the front because the rear were out of stock. I have got to say, these things are much better then stock. I noticed a much smoother ride going down some dirt trails and doing a little bit off roading to test them out. They look a...

So I have a Blue 94 explorer. I was in an accident back in October, and now I have purple fenders. I have the tools to remove the paint, whether it be a sand blaster or soda blaster, I can remove it. I was thinking about buying some primer and spray paint cans of my color. My paint is in...

So I just bought a pair of off road lights for my front bumper. I know where to install the switch and where to run the wires through the fire wall, but I don't know how exactly to wire them up. Do I need relays or anything? I just want a separate switch for the lights so I can turn them on as I...

So I was cruising down a dirt road and it was getting dark fast. I through on my lights and just for the heck of it, I pulled back the lever and had low and high both on. I loved the amount of light that was visible. I really want to get some off road lights before my trip to my mountain house...

I bought my explorer back in April of 2008. It was and still is in great condition. I have replaced a number of parts, but when I first got it, I had the guy put on some new shocks. He replaced them with what looked like stock ones anyway. I just drove up to the Poconos in PA for a vacation...

I replaced the upper and lower ball joints on the passenger side and replaced both outer U joints and spindle bearings on the front axle. My steering wheel is turned to the right a bit when driving straight. It doesn't pull, but last time I had an alignment done, They asked me if they could...

Any ideas? It just started happening these past few days. I drive for even 10 minutes. I get out and withing just a few minutes, there is a puddle of fluid on the ground. I pulled in at my house today and it was still coming out. I took a quick glance underneath and it seemed to be coming from...

I just replaced my front U joints and spindle bearings. I threw the truck on jab stands so I could test to make sure 4x4 was working. I hit a curb in October and cracked my Warn Manual Locking hub. I went to the junk yard and found one, only one, so swapped it out and it was missing a few parts...

I need to replace the U joints in my front axle, but I have no idea what ones to get. I see things like 1310 and 1330, etc. What is the actual U Joint I need? Is it for a Dana 35? or Dana 40? If possible, link me to it on here. http://broncograveyard.com/ Edit: I have heard that it is...

While I was working on my explored yesterday, I took it for a test drive and when I pushed the btton to automatically roll down the window and of stopped halfway down. I would press the button again and it would go down all the way. If I hold down the button, the window will go down, but it will...

So I got a the missing spring I needed to get my 4x4 working from a fellow and that is all good now. I assume that it is supposed to be fighting you when you are making a very sharp turn with it engaged? Anyway, whenever I hit a small bump, I hear a semi loud noise from the front of the...

Hey, I have been doing some research and I just replaced my upper and lower ball joints on the passenger side over the weekend. Before I go out and get an alignment, I was checking out the 2" lift ideas. I wanted to know where I could get the following parts... - Warrior WAR153 Shackles -...

My front right ball joints went :(, so I just went and grabbed a new Upper and Lower ball joint. I thought I would make it a weekend project. I am also picking up a new outer tie rod for the front right. I was wondering if their were any guides on replacing these parts for a 94 explorer. Like...

I have been getting my explorer into tip top shape lately and I was coming back from the junk yard with a Class III hitch which I repainted and looks like new. When I hit 2,500 RPM, I was getting a very loud rattle sound. I removed the MAF and sprayed it with the proper cleaner. That worked when...

For the past few months, I have had a squeaking sound coming from underneath my explorer. It is only when I am driving it squeaks and when I throw it into neutral, it goes away. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Back in October I slid into a 1foot high stone curb and cracked my rim, blew a tire, and cracked the locking hub. I grabbed another hub from the junk yard, the only one there, and got it for $25. I had a strange noise when turning. Turns out, I am missing a spring that unlocks the hub when it...

Ok, so I loaded up two kayaks on top of each other and loaded them onto the explorer the other day. I spend the day at the lake with friends and when we were finished, I loaded them back up and when I started tightening them down, the front bar snapped in half. What can I do here? Would more...

I got a used hitch from the junk yard for $25. I sanded it down and sprayed 2 coats of primer for slighly rusted metal and 3 coats of semi black spray paint. The paint has the soft feeling I strapped 2 kayaks down today and a rubber hook indented and peeled off some paint. Why is this? What...

I just got a tow hitch from an old explorer and refurbished it. It is a class III hitch and can tow up to 5,000 lbs. I don't know where to fine the wiring harness to connect a trailer. Any suggestions?
