Does the vehicle still move, are you able to drive it to day care?
 












It means that you, apparently, can't read the description of the 911 Forum.

LOL

Seeing how you have 200 some posts in 2 months I am sure you tried that search button at the top. And I am sure that you didnt find anything in search cause you have such a unique question that it would probably even confuse all the enginneers that designed the system in the first place. Post the 5 diiferent terms you used in search to try to find the problem. Then post 5 links to each of those different searches. I do not mean including forsale or wanted ads eather. Ones from legitimate technical forums. Also not just the first five. Find ones that have the same problem as you have and I bet with that all mighty search button you will find the answer to your question. If you show that you did all the above stuff and still cant find anything that might remotly give you an idea of what is wrong then maybe someone will give you some technical info to help you.

SEARCH Use it, Love it, Live it.
 






Sell the truck, it's unfixable.
 






lol....man try and explain what exactly is happening, we are not there and cannot guess what is wrong, could this have something to do with your swim? new T-case in the near future? just look around and see if you can figure stuff out, there is alot of info here and you will probably find out what is wrong if you spend some time just looking under your truck/hood for loose connections, burnt wires, broken things....you DID just sink it, cars dont like that. so check that out. check/replace the cheapest things first.
 






Step 1 - Remove radiator cap

Step 2 - Drive new truck under radiator cap from Step 1

Step 3 - install old radiator cap on new truck

Works every time ... unless of course you have a bad radiator cap too ....
 






Have you checked operator headspace and timing???

You're so new to your truck, I bet you don't know that you have to have the truck in neutral and have your foot on the brake to shift to low range. Try that. And try searching before some of these guys get any rougher with their e-smackdowns. :D
 












I am new on here and i have to say i am xtremely impressed. You guys know you stuff about explorers. I was having the same problem as this guy with the low range. After reading this forum i went out and had no problem with the low range. Thanks for the help.
