    1994 Ranger A/C Problem

    I just recently bought a 1994 ranger 4cyl. The a/c compressor does not kick on when I press the a/c button (The light lights up though). I ran 12 volts to the compressor and it does spin. I did some research and changed the WOT relay, still no luck. I pulled out the WOT relay and put...

    2007 radiator removal

    maybe mine wasnt that expensive...I can't remember it was a year ago. I got rid of my X though...burning oil at 90,000 miles, like a 1/2 quart a week, EVAP canister went bad twice...it was rough.

    2007 radiator removal

    Yea it was a PITA. Definitly coulda been easier. How much transmission fluid did you lose? And I got my rad from napa, have an account their so everything is at cost...paid less than 200 I think....it was a while ago.

    2007 radiator removal

    I probably should have but didnt, since adding transmission fluid involves having a special piece of equipment since its a closed system. I probably lost 1/2-1 cup of transmission fluid doing the exchange, just have to be quick about it.

    2007 radiator removal

    nope. condenser stayed in, but working around it in a pain. took me about 3 hours total to do the replacement, the transmission lines were the worst because my new radiator had different "hookups"

    2007 radiator removal

    haha had the same problem on my 06 that I just traded in. I loosened everything like you said, but it couldnt get past that condenser. The two plastic tracks it runs on, make sure u loosen those bolts so they can **** back and forth... And then just keep playing with it. I think it...

    Got rid of my Explorer...

    Yea, the 05's and olders were great interiors, but the 06 was all plastic, theres a lot of threads on here about people sticking wedges under the dash and in the center console to control the creaking. I mean the explorer did great for me, I can't say it was a bad car overall, just a lot of...

    Got rid of my Explorer...

    Yea, the feeling on the doors is weird, same with the tailgate, feels like lifting a coke can with the "assister thing" they put on there. The 5.4 isnt too bad, and I totally agree with diesel for Towing, but something about the tundras front end just gets me, i love it, and the 381 horses...

    Got rid of my Explorer...

    I love the tundra honestly, the new F150 does look amazing, but until ford comes out with a bigger powerplant in the trucks (hopefully next year), im gonna have to stay away. So far I love my tundra, we'll see, only time will tell. And yes, toyota is normally reliable, but with the news...

    Got rid of my Explorer...

    Yea, It could have been a lemon but I bought it used, and theres no used lemon law where I live. And I traded it in, but they were well aware of the problems, hopefully they fixed them before reselling it.

    I had an 06 where the EVAP canister went out...I couldnt fill the tank up with gas more than a gallon at a tiem without it clicking off. I did get a check engine light...cant remember the code I read...but in the end I had to drop the gas tank and put a new canister in...not too too hard of a...

    Got rid of my Explorer...

    Spring inside the O/D Off button?

    Mine popped off one day when I pressed it and tehre is indeed a spring under there. To get the button off I just hold the button in and twist about a 1/4 turn left and it pops off, and theres a perfect spot to sit a spring. Let me know if it works.
