1996

I have 1996 Ford Explorer. One of the rear calipers is seized. I have the caliper removed from the rotor already. Just wondering how do I plug the bolt when you remove the brake line so it doesn't leak out the brake fluid?

I have a 5.0 in a Bronco II. I think it came out of a 1996 Explorer. The top of the engine actually says Explorer on it, and not 5.0 V8 like a lot of pictures of Explorers I have seen. Did some of the 1996 models say this or is this engine NOT a 1996? I am trying to figure out some of the little...

Hi, I need to replace shift solenoid 2 in the trans of my 96 Explorer and was wondering if this is accessable by simply dropping the pan, or if the valve body also needs to be removed. Thanks

my 17 year old dream, gone 2 years, and sadly missed

I need help installing a subwoofer in my 1996 explorer. Stock Amp but i installed an aftermarket radio. There are rca outputs on the radio but the sub has black and red terminals, one is positive the other negative. Also the radio is 60 Watts and the sub is more, atleast 350 Watts. What would be...

Okay I got a 96 EB about 2 years ago or so. I had the transmission rebuilt and everything was good for about 9 months. Then one day it did not want to shift into drive when it was cold in the mornings only happened occasionally, but if I shifted to first or second then drive all was well and...

Hi all, I saw the thread on the 1959 F-100 and couldn't resist sharing my own similar venture. I purchased an old hot rod 'project' many years ago because I loved the body style. It's a M-47 Mercury, same as a F-47 Ford pick up but slightly different trim and very rare. Problem is the...

Hey i had noticed that on my 96 explorer the front wheels, mostly the left one, tilt out at the bottom. Is this supposed to be like this. I have noticed it on many fords of this era. it doesn't seem to get any worse or unevenly wear the tires. Could it be just they was the suspension works. I...

Here is my Explorer, 'TruckTruck'. The truck was bought in late '95 by my father from Universal Ford here in Richmond. Was driven all over by us until '99 when they upgraded to the Expedition. The truck was then sold to my Grandfather to give to his son, My uncle, who used it in high school...

I want to take off the rear wiper arm. I tried with a flat head screw driver by pushing the tab all the way over toward the wiper blade but it won't budge off. I know its not rusted in there. I don't know what else to do? Any suggestions??? Thanks

The other day me and my buddies changed the spark plugs and an oxygen sensor for my explorer so I could pass emissions. Ford did not make those spark plugs and oxygen sensors easy to change let me tell you. So through the combination of disconnecting the battery and having to force our way into...

hey guys, newbie here.... I have been reading in the forums for what seems like forever now trying to find a solution for my problem and to no avail. Figured I'd post and see what magic you guys can bring... The truck starts up great every morning and if it sits for about an hour after...

Okay. So I have my beautiful '96 Eddie Bauer Truck. And I am trying to install an AfterMarket head unit to it. (I am also installing an amp+subs but i know how to do this). And i suppose i know how to install an aftermarket headunit as well. But to bad ford put in the premium sound into my...

This is from another post, but the exact same problem has happened on my 1996 V8 Explorer. http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/1112/img1210kz1.jpg http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/4348/img1213kj1.jpg Apparently, my dipstick ring broke or fell off while driving the car, and the dipstick...

I'm sure there's a number of posts reguarding the many ways to do this. I want to know the BEST way, and how I can go abouts doing that. I've heard Shocks, Liftkits, Blocks... tons of different ways. I Beleive the simplest and easiest would be to install the towing shackles. My question is...
