    Replaced the power steering pump in my 1996 Explorer 4.0L. The new pump has a fitting pre-installed on the reservoir that looks like the large half of the fitting in the attached photo.

    Power Seat Problems

    I have been working on swapping the interior from a stock explorer into my 2017 police interceptor. I noticed before I took the driver seat out of the parts explorer it wouldn’t move backwards.

    Does anyone know a source for those cogs that go in the power window motor gear drive?

    All I need is the small plastic cogs or pins not sure of their name. But if you take a power window motor apart there is a metal gear that sits inside a plastic gear. Those cogs are inside the triiangular hole that is between the two gears. Gears are ok.

    Loss of power, rough engine at acceleration

    It is a 1993 Ford Explorer, V6 manual. As the title states, it has loss of power when accelerating, and the engine doesn’t run quite right either. It might go away after I have used it half an hour or so, so it doesn’t really seem to be just that it only happens when it is cold. It has new plugs...
