Hey guys. I recently picked up a 2002 Explorer with the 4.0. It had been wrecked but otherwise ran and drove. I replaced the radiator, fan, fan clutch, and water pump (all damaged in the impact). While replacing the water pump, I removed the thermostat housing to give myself room. So I...

I have a 99 explorer xlt 4.0l sohc The light for the 4x4 will come on but it will not engage. When the front is lifted and axle turned by hand with car off, the wheels spin opposite. When ignition is on and 4x4 is turned from auto to high, light turns on but the front axle still rotates...

Hey guys, My 02 v8 explorer just ate transfer case # 7 in a year! Yup, the last 4 were warranty replacements (used) from a salvage yard. I've brown wire modded it, changed the gem computer and all is fine until wife made one trip in 4x4 in the snow and its shaking and clicking just as every...

I have already tried the four wheel drive troubleshooting guide at the following link: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202166 My four wheel drive only works intermidantly, and from the best that I can tell is that it works after it sits for a while and the engine is cold...

I'm new to the forum and have a bit of an issue with my Explorer. While driving on dry roads, it sounds like the 4x4 is engaged. When I say it sounds like the 4x4 engages, I mean that the engine sounds louder than normal and I have to give it more gas to accelerate. I played around with the 4x4...

Hello, everyone. I'm Hugo from Brazil, and I recently purchased an '02 Explorer that works very well for the moment, except for the 4x4. It's got an automatic 5 speed transmission, but although only the 4x4 Low lights up in the instrument panel when starting the car, I have tested pressing...

Today I changed both the transfer case sensors because my 4x4 wasn't shifting into low. It now works but for some reason when i drive above 20 mph I hear a whining sound. It continues to get higher until I slow down then gets lower. I cant imagine replacing the sensors could of caused this but...

I have a 1993 exploder with 4X4 automatic transmission. ive been reading that this transmission "can be problematic". now, I have a 1992 exploder with rear wheel drive. its a running parts truck with a perfectly good regular ole automatic transmission with overdrive. this is what I want to...

So i bought an 87 bronco 2 5 speed with the locking hubs for 600 bucks, starts runs and drives just fine. Just a hunting rig. When i bought it i tested the 4 wheel drive and it worked great, shifted really smooth with no problems. I put my old 31 inch tires on it for a little extra clearance and...

When I put the truck in 4 High, It makes a bad grinding/rubbing noise. Does anybody know what could be causing this?

I tried my best find info for a "BWM" on this year and haven't found detailed information on disabling the the 4x4. My Explorer clunks hard into 4x4 when under 30mph and I would like to remove the extra stress on the 4wd system as well as possibly gain a couple mpg by not driving in 4wd while...

I am having an issue with my 4WD only when it is engaged in either High or Low and I am slowly turning as in parking. The front wheels shudder and feel like they are binding. During higher speeds the 4WD high seems fine. I have been driving for the past 2 years in AUTO with no issues. This only...

I've been looking about the interwebs for a snorkel kit for my 2000 ford explorer sport (2dr not truck). What I have discovered is that there's not a company making kits specific to our beloved fords. Any recommendations of alternate models that can be easily modified for functionality with my...

I have a 1996 explorer that I recently got. When I engaged the front axle the lights work and you can here it engage. But it didn't pull. I jacked up all four wheels and placed on jack stands. Started the truck and engaged the 4x4. When it's up on the stands you can see all four wheels turn but...

http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/5144088850.html We are the original owners (& still have all the paperwork / Owner's VHS) of this Explorer and have loved it. Unfortunately, it needs yet another transmission. While I would love to put the money into it, my better judgement says enough. I'm...

Hello, I just bought some 33x12.5 Mickey Thompson's for my sport trac, and since i put them on my front tires have been cambered so the top of the tire is pushed inward. The tires sit like this / \. I had it realigned and i checked my ball joints and everything is in order, ive heard this is...

Need some help. I have an 05 Explorer 4x4 (4.0 6 cylinder) with the 5R55S transmission. Backed it out of the driveway and put it in Drive. The car wouldn't, or would barely, move. Thought it was the fluid level. Pulled the center plug and a significant amount of fluid poured out. I'm...

Please help, I have a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT. The automatic front locking hubs were replaced with the Rugged Ridge manual locking hubs. They have worked great but I did not use the 4x4 for a while and went to engage it and they will not engage. When I rotate the switch inside to lock into...

Hi I have been saving money for awhile and a couple months ago bought my first car which is a 98 explorer v6 4x4. I want to have some more fun off road, I have done a lot of mudding and I've jumped it over some train tracks a couple times and I want to make it a little more serious for not too...

So recently my explorer lost reverse, no neutral. Trans fluid is full and cable is adjusted properly. After reading similar posts I am pretty sure I have a problem with my z link in the trans. If someone who knows/experienced this procedure please help me out with the following; 1) Can I...

1992 Explorer XLT, just replaced the transfer case shift motor and 4x4 "works" but when driving it intermittently clunks hard when accelerating, braking and driving over 30km/h. It doesn't seem to be getting any worse just more annoying. I figure it could be a seized u-joint but i wonder what...

I drive a 1999 ford ranger xlt 4x4 it's lifted 3 inches and has 33s on it, when I'm driving at 60mph my rpms run right at 2100, so I looked at the door tag and it said I have 3.73s but I looked at my rear end and my tag is gone, so I believe it has been regeared before I bought it

so I have a 1992 explorer XLT that was sitting at 100k miles for 6 months before i bought it and since then ive put on maybe 2k more. anyways the front the diff is humming really bad at about 10km/h up. the 4x4 didnt work when i bought it (transfercase motor) after i replaced it, put it into 4hi...

I had been trying for about 45 minutes trying to figure out which transfer cases the Explorers used. I know the information is on here, but I guess I can't figure out the right combination of search phrases to use to get the t-case numbers and their years and their functions all used in the...

so my 1992 Explorer XLT wont shift into 4x4. ill push the 4hi button on the dash and nothing will happen, the light wont even come on. i was thinking it could be the shift motor but i'm wondering if you guys think it could be a more serious electrical issue.

Ok so I have this really weird vibration going on on my 97 4x4. It only happens once I stop accelerating and when I start slowing down (Using brakes or just coasting). It is not warped rotors because it happens when I'm not using any brakes at all as well as when I am braking. Another strange...

Okay, I am thinking about doing the BWM to my 2005 XLT just because I don't like not having the option to have 2wd. I have read all the forums and know exactly what I am to do...

Hi everyone. So I've been trying to get my 4x4 working. It's still not happening and I have a question and I'll say the things I've done. I have power and ground to the module. (about 11.5v) I did all the tests and the resistances seem to be good. The dash and button lights are...

I just bought a used '02 Explorer 4x4 and it's stuck in 4 High. I think the problem is the 4x4 module behind the glove box. If I try to shift in neutral, the 4 Low light just blinks. Before getting it fixed or the transfer case, if that's it, can I remove the front drive shaft so I don't cause...

Ok, so in doing my 4x4 conversion I have the factory d35 front end however I could not find a manual shift 1354 t-case ANYWHERE in my budget. I did however grab a 1350 manual shift. I had a spare front driveshaft from a BII that I had shortened 3 inches and balanced at a shop and it all bolts...
