    What kind of mileage do you get in your 1st generation Explorer?

    my 94 limited is now at 13.5 in the city. It was at 9.3 when I bought it. changed the t-stat got me up to about 10. Installing Warn hubs for the constantly locked ones got me to 12.5 (go figure) Now O2 sensors last week got me to 13.5. Not too bad. On the freeway I get about about 19 or so. I...

    A4LD won't shift when cold.

    Hi all, Here is one. I looked for this but was unable to find the problem. What happens is that when the truck is cold, it drops into reverse and 1st fine. But then it won't shift to 2nd unless I put into 2nd. If I put it into D or OD before the tranny is warmed up, it will just fall back into...

    Double Din install...

    So got everything in. I don't like the mounting of the deck. The back of the deck hits the vent so it is pushed down some causing the face to kind of point up. It isn't real clean like I hoped. It looks like I will be going the route you went after all. Not something I wanted to do, but it looks...

    Double Din install...

    Well I got the amps and sub mounted and hooked up the door speakers to the amp. The box is mounted and everything. Today I install the deck and see if I hear something. :exp:

    Double Din install...

    I wanna put in a manual T-Case. Then I don't have to rely on the motor to swap for me. Well the status of this project is I have all the wiring done, but the weather here put a damper on my ability to get more work done. I was thinking of doing the hurculiner thing before putting the sub and...

    Double Din install...

    What did you do with the 4X4 switch? I see the harness still there. I assume you will relocate it. I wanted to keep mine as little with modified as I can. I am still thinking of just doing like you can cutting more out and movind the environmentals up and making a nice glass face, but I...

    Double Din install...

    Hi all, I have a 94 Ex that has a single din opening and I have a double din NAV/DVD unit to install. Has any one done this? Any pointers? I have a couple of options. Most of them involve moving the environmental controls. I can install it just by cutting the hole bigger, but there is nothing...

    To TTB or To SAS, That is the Question.

    It is just that. Preload. The inner and outter bearings are also only a couple inches apart not allowing for a very strong set up. I have no doubts on the axle. I think the D35 will serve my purpose just fine. I just don't like the hub set up. It is a really poor design from Ford. The D44 inner...

    To TTB or To SAS, That is the Question.

    Well it sounds like the vote is keep the TTB. I will do that then. Now I just have to relocate the posts for the what kind of machining needs to be done to put on the outers. I think there was a mod to the outters for the tie rod ends and the D40 BJ needed turned to fit the D35 hole. One...

    To TTB or To SAS, That is the Question.

    So I have looked on here quite extensively and would like to know the pro's and cons of TTB and SAS. I have decided that if I keep the TTB, I will do the 150 outters over the full 150 TTB swap. I just hate the current bearing assembly in the rotors now. I do like the ride. But I have...

    Rear Tire Carrier

    Duff makes one for the BII, maybe we can get him to make one for the X's too. the one on the BII replaces the bumper and all items are mounted on it. There is a G-Can and Jack holder. It is really a nice set up. :thumbsup: http://www.jamesduff.com/broncoII/bumpers_carriers.html

    DeRocha's Door Hinge Pin Replacement w/pics

    Well I did this today. I ground the pin compression fitting off. Much fast than the hand hammer and chissel. But I did both hinges at the same time and put the door on a kitchen chair. Worked pretty well.

    1994 Amplifier Removal

    After no replays, I thought maybe I should just attempt it. There are is a cable that looks like it for bypassing the amp and the other unknown device. I disconnnected the cables, unbolted and removed the amp, the unknown and the sub as a single unit. The truck starts and runs, the alarm and the...

    1994 Amplifier Removal

    Hi all, I have a great sound system in my ugly Ex and would love to toss the old factory amp and sub and try to move my amps and sub in place of them. There are 3 items bolted to the panel the amp and sub are on. One is the Amp the other is something I don't know and it ends with the sub. Can I...
