second gen

Transmission suddenly disconnecting when the car is "cold" We bought a '98 explorer from a neighbor like 2 years ago, at that moment the transmission already was having some issues, first of all, it couldn't engage "parking" so it had to be left in reverse for you to take off the key from the...

Hi all! I'm a British traveller. With my visa coming to the end in Australia I had to sell my beloved Explorer affectionately named Pat. She was bone stock when I bought her, with broken sway bar links and worn out shocks - drove like a boat and it was pretty scary on highways. This was the...

Hi all. I rather stupidly trusted a UK member who begged me to order all of the OE cam guide parts necessary to rebuild his 2000 4.0 Sohc explorer since most of it is obsolete now. I work for a Ford dealer, so I get a decent discount. Usually our parts dept has a strict "pay up front" policy...

Does everyone else’s Max AC get warmer if they turn the ac dial to heat? My normal AC gets warmer as I turn up the heat, but I can have the heat all the way up during Max AC and it’ll still be really cold air. From what I understand Max AC only differs since it recirculates air from the cabin...

I've already searched around in the threads and can't find anyone who's mentioned doing this. I'm building a 4.0 that came from a 93 Sport to put into my 97 XLT. I've noticed the block casting is different, specifically for the motor mount bolts. Has anyone swapped an early 4.0 into a second...

So i've looked all over and i can't find it on here, but can i put the second gen heated mirrors on my 1992 i know they look the same but are they direct bolt on and what is the deal with wiring? I already have power mirrors but they're super faded and im looking to replace them anyways. Thank...

So I have my 1992 explorer 4 door and a couple of the exterior door handles are broken and they're all faded and I was just wondering if the second Gen metal handles would bolt right in. I'd much rather have the metal than the plastic but wanna know before I buy then. Any help would be much...

I have a 99 explorer sport with a 5-speed 2wd with around 125,000 miles. I have crazy humming coming from the front right wheel well/engine compartment that's slowly been getting worse. It starts around 40 mph and gets louder the faster I go, anything slower and it’s silent. So question of the...

Hi. Thanks for letting me join. I'm sure I'll find some great info here. I'm a second and third generation owner who is considering a fifth gen. My second gen was a manual tranny and I loved it. My third gen is new to me and I'm excited to have it. I'm the second owner and just bought it...

So I just found a set of nitto terra grapplers on Craigslist for $100. The tread isn't perfect but for $100 I couldn't pass them up. They're 295 70r17 and I was just wondering if anyone has/is running these on their second gen. And I also have no idea what size rims I should be looking for...

I was with ranger forums years ago. 5 years ago I bought my xlt and haven't stopped since. I'm addicted to the mods. I have a 97 xlt 5.0 with over 340,000 miles on her and still going strong. I have way to many mods to list so I will be posting pics very soon. I'm very proud of my explorer...

I'm thinking of buying an LED light bar, however, I can't seem to think of where/how to mount it so I'd like it. The main concern is, I can't have it on my roof if it's higher than the roof rack. I park in a garage on a daily basis and this is what limits me from lifting the Ex higher...

Has anyone has taken the ttb out of a first generation and put it into a second generation. I'd like to possibly attempt it. Any info would be nice. Like first of all do the frame mounts work form the 1st to the 2nd generation. And I read that the 95 came with ttb. Is that true? Because if it is...

Here she was the day I bought her Got my CB hooked up with a fresh Wilson 1000 Installed my new pioneer double din (pain in the f***in ass) Upgraded my big 3 to 1/0 in preparation for the rest of the sound system Cranked up the torsion bars and threw on some fresh...

If want to buy another Explorer 2gen what edition do you recommend me to buy, an XLT w/plus package, eddie bauer or limited???

Did Ford have different designs of intake plenums for 95-97 and 98-00? I was recently under the hood of a friend's 98, and even though I didn't have my 95 with me to do a direct visual comparison, the 98 looked a little bit different, and had a different path for the plug wires. So, are the...

Im making this post for all the 2nd Gen explorer owners who are running stock 16's with larger tires. After searching through the forumn and seeing very few a second gen on stock 16's I wanted to post this thread and try to help out those that needed it. First off I debated for a couple...
