4x4

That might be a stupid question from a new owner of a 1994 Explorer. I was doing offroad for the first time with my Explorer this weekend and i noticed that in reverse, even with the 4 high or 4 Low engaged, only my rear tires were spinning. Nothing from the front. I never had a Ford before...

Hey, I have a 2004 Lincoln Aviator with the 4.6L DOHC and AWD(as I think they all are) and was curious as to what it would take to swap the AWD system with a 4x4 system from a 3rd gen explorer so I can have a low range. Im not sure if this is even possible. I saw someone one here post a how to...

Ive got a 94 sport 4x4 with manual locking hubs and a rear locker. A few weeks ago, I got stuck in an epic mud hole and noticed the front wheels were not turning. It was suck so bad, I broke mounts on my suspension lift. This bracket has since been repaired. Since then, I’ve taken the...

I have a 2005 ford explorer xlt 4.0 v6 4x4 automatic with a 5r55s transmission that is blown. I have found a possible donor, a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 v6 4x4 automatic with a 5r55s transmission as well. I am assuming it can be swapped but I am not 100% sure. I have heard that there is a...

I recently turned 16 and my parents bought me a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Limited 4x4 V8. I am a car person but I do not know too much about these trucks. I'm posting this in hope's that I can get tips and just be a bit more knowledgeable on what I own. Hope you have a great day!

Hello all, this is my first post. I just inherited a 1991 4x4. It was a family members and I am now looking to do some restorations to it. One of the first things I realized was that the 4x4 doesn't work, it doesn't light up and I hear no click whatsoever, upon doing some digging I discovered...

i was wondering if anybody on the forum can tell me how to rebuild the rotor for the 4wd? i never had it working for as long as i have had the truck and I already have it off the truck and ready for repair, anyone got any pointers?

Hi Everyone! I've got my hands on a 1999 Explorer and I've been working on it for a few months now. I've found an issue that I just can't pin point. When the car is in 4x4 Low and you turn left or right towards the locks, it has a terrible clunking and knocking noise coming from the front end...

A few weeks ago i noticed that the wheels were getting "stuck" while reversing out of a parking spot... also happened while turning slowly into or out of a parking spot in D. Assuming it was the TC motor we removed the 4x4 fuses 17 & 18 until we could replace the motor. After replacing the motor...

So I took my car in to get an oil change - ended up getting two new front tires. When I came back, and drove my car, it was in 4wd high and it won't switch back to 2wd. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I've read disconnecting the battery works.. but I've also read a few raps with a hammer...

Slightly Modified-This thread will be for the 1991 4 door 4x4 that I purchased about a year ago. Not only will I be repairing it, I am going to perform some mild modifications. I had seen it sitting out near the field on one of my neighbors property and ask him if he would sell it. He said that...

Hi all, I just purchased an a 91 explorer. unfortunately it will not shift into its either 4th or OD gear. Yes, there are other threads on this just saying to replace solenoid but I believe this explorer is stuck in 4x4. Does anyone know if being in 4 wheel limits the transmission to 1-3...

Hello!! There have been a few posts in the past, but I cannot find a definitive answer on this problem. Can anyone please clarify? My 2013 Explore makes a whistling sound as the speed reaches about 30-40 mph. There have been posts in the past that describe the sound exactly. Here's one: Does...

1) The door ajar sign won't turn off 2) The 4x4 lights keep flashing on and off 3) The car keeps making weird noise whenever I accelerate Car sound - Clyp.

ive always loved the explorer sport, not so much the 4door model (dont want to deal with all that extra weight + fuel usage lol) i used to have a 2001 explorer sport SOHC, automatic RWD and it had 3.73 final that i swapped to 4.10 with a locker, had some all terrain tires on it and put a bit of...

replacing the oem - 'non serviceable' drive shaft with fort waynes conversion to a serviceable carrier bearing. time:3-4 hours by myself with no impact just hand tools my broken carrier bearing.. the boot was torn and the shaft wasnt being suspended in the middle and rotating off axis and...

I was told that on my 94 Explorer XLT automatic with self engaging hubs that if the rear wheels are turning that the front wheels will not pull because the computer disengages them. Is this true and if so is there a way to bypass that so that when I'm stuck the front wheels pull as well.

just bought the drive shaft should be here in a couple weeks. having my t-case rear output seal replaced too as its leaking. debating having them put the drive shaft in or not... i know it just bolts up but nervous about possible damaging it... but then again i rather do it myself and know...

I'm somewhat new to working on vehicles, and talking about it on forums, so cut me some slack please. To begin with, I bought a 94 explorer 4x4 with a few things messed up on it.(blown Head Gasket, windows wont roll up/down, a/c-heater are out, tires have bad negative camber, gets...

Trying to replace the starter on my truck and have realized that it is guarded on all sides. From the top, its the driveshaft and exhaust manifold. From the side, it's the exhaust manifold and part of the chassis. From the bottom, it's the 4x4 drive train, and it seems near impossible to get to...

I have a 2000 explorer xlt that im having a few problems with. First and most importantly I'm having a problem with my tranny not going into gear in 2x4 but always spinning all 4 tires in 4x4. Obviously I am getting power through the tranny for the back wheels to turn but it' sits motionless in...

My 2005 is now stuck in 4x4 "High." When it is in 4x4 High I have noticed that when turning left the wheel clunks and feels like it is going to come off. HOWEVER, when it WAS in 4x4 AUTO I had NO problems. None! [the wheel bearings are new] Can someone tell me what my problem is and offer a way...

Hey, I've recently purchased a 97 Explorer Sport with a manual transmission and 4wd. However, the manual transmission needs to be replaced. What I want to know is if I can go to a junkyard and rip out a manual transmission from a RWD Explorer and use it in my 4x4 Explorer. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. I just bought this 2002 Explorer XLT. So I noticed while driving it the 4x4 high light blinks 8 times every so many minutes. If I put it into 4x4 high I hear no noise to sound like it is engaging. On a flat gravel road if I hit the gas to...
