Howdy. Just found this forum looking for a bit of advice on my new toy. 1992 Explorer Eddie Bauer edition, 4x4, auto, 4L V6, 109,000 that needs a headgasket some time in the future. Traded a fellow a rusted out 1994 F150 with a 300 I6 and a C6 tranny and 166K on it for it. Quite happy with what I received. Looks like a nice place here!

I really have enjoyed driving it the last few days. Has a lot more oomph than I expected. I've painted the back pillars black again and I've put a new water pump on it. The drivers side head gasket leaked when got it, I ran some of the aluminum stop leak through to stop the antifreeze leak. NOT A LONG TERM FIX! lol. As soon as its above 11 degrees I plan on replacing that head gasket, probably both while I am at it. It really doesn't need a hole heck of a lot. One window doesn't go down (Again, when its warm, new bushings) has some rust. Everything works perfect. Has a CD player and a sub. I really could not be happier. I want to add a brush guard of some form, but I cannot find any for sale, so I think its going to wind up being myself and the welder and some pipe coming up with something.

Thats cool. Does the 4X4 work in it?

The 4x4 works perfectly on it. Theres really nothing but the head gasket to complain about, and thats not even leaking now. When I go to replace the head gaskets I think I will also be throwing a new power steering pump on it, I think it has a slight leak. Everything works, though!

Thanks for the welcome!
