Worth to fix or not

[92WickdExplorer]

I have a 92 X and the motor and tranny seem to need rebuilt really under powered i think. maybe just a tune up who knows. well the tranny slips but when i put fluid in it its good for a day or 2. and my 4x4 doesnt work could this be a wirning problem or something else i really love my x and i only paid 400 for it and i want to make it nice an realible. help me out. thanks

From the discription you gave that sounds difficult

I think I would look for another vehicle, sorry.

It can be made reliable, just needs some work. A tune up will probably help. Maybe invest in the KKM intake if you have the money. The 4 wheel drive shift motor is the suspect most likely the problem. Run a search for "shift motor" and that will tell you what needs to be done. Is the fluid leaking out of the tranny? May be just the front seal. Run it by a tranny shop and see what they have to say about it. May get a little costly to fix though.

Your gonna have to put about three times what you paid for it into it and that may not be enough. Plus you will have to do much of the work yourself. If you want a project car this sounds like one. If you want/need a daily driver I'd keep looking.

Whoa! Good job linking that TPLYNCH! I thought the Explorer Owners Maintenance page was gone forever. I wonder how you found out it was back somewhere.

I actually had downloaded Jeffs pages for my use a long time ago, but good to see someone else has re-posted the site, it's a good one to all of you who don't know about it.

Yeah thanks guys its still runs better thn i think im not worryed about the money at all, im going to keep this one and just work on it .

 

[Creager]

Yeah man work on that sucker

'92s are nice and easy to work on

once you get the motor,tranny,transfercase all squared away look into rebuilding the suspention/stearing

you will have a new truck

and you will be so happy

i love my '92

 

[Creager]
