- 1992 Explorer XL
Have a `93, adding a `92.
Hello
I am mainly a Oldsmbile man, but I really like the `93 Explorer we got from my Father-in-Law a couple years ago (was stolen then recovered last March, little to no damage though!) but the time has come for me to buy another one.
Today I bought my sisters `92 Explorer with a bad engine. It doesn't just SMOKE, it actually spits water out of the exhaust pipe. There is no water in the oil though. I'm thinking its a headgasket, but what are the odds that it's a cracked head instead of a HG? I wanna get this fixed, and I have another 4.0L lined up incase I need to swap it out.....but I'd like to fix THIS engine if I can. What can I expect to pay for a HG repair?
About my newest Explorer. It's a 1992 Explorer XL. It it about as 'stripped down' as you can get, I like it! Rather go over all the options it HAS, it's much more fun to say what it DOESN'T have.
My new X does NOT have the following options/features:
Power Windows
Power Locks
Power Seats
Power Mirrors
4WD
Automatic
Dual Cup Holder
Rear Window Wiper/Washer (I've never seen another without it!)
Roof Rack (how rare is THAT?)
So that means I have:
4.0L V-6
Manual EVERYTHING...incl. Transmission
2WD
1 cup Holder
and A/C
