    ETAs are bunk

    You'd think that if you are spending $40k on a new vehicle, that the company making it could at least narrow it down to the day when it would be at your dealership. Even Walmart can tell me when they will have an item back on the shelf to the day, but no, not Ford. It baffles me how they can...

    Average build time?

    We ordered a red explorer sport a week ago and were told 12-16 weeks. What is the average build time, time to get the VIN/sticker, etc?

    PROBLEM FIXED!!! DTC 21 and 14, hard start, dies when given gas My father called me saying he had explorer problems. He is getting codes 14 and 21, both related to the ignition. The explorer is hard to start, and once it starts, runs rough for a while. Then it will smooth out. If you give...

    Nasty stuff under your seats...

    So I put my engine in last weekend and decided to start messing with the interior. I will do a write up on the engine installation in a few days because I took several pictures of the procedure. At any rate, my neighbor and I decided to totally strip out the interior leaving only the door...

    Entire left bank of cylinders full of water

    So I am taking the top end apart off this 92 I picked up this weekend and removed the passenger side head. All 3 cylinders were full of water. I checked the gaskets as I removed them and, aside from the intake manifold bolts being loose, nothing appeared out of the ordinary. Yet, all 3...

    I dont want to spring for a $20.00 code reader. Is there some way I can jumper the connectors together under the hood and hook up a test light or something? Or do I need to use a code reader for this.

    Backup light, reverse light problem with A4LD rebuild

    Tranny is back together and working flawlessly except for 1 thing. In all gears aside from park, my reverse lights are staying on. Both electrical connectors are attached to the tranny as well. Neither the ATSG manual nor the chiltons repair guide reference any reverse switch in the tranny...

    A4ld grates in park

    a4ld center support bushing/washer question

    When putting the center support back in the A4ld tranny, is the thrust washer on the back side of the center support made of hard black plastic? I thought I pulled a brass washer out, but the only one I have that was with the center support is black plastic. It butts up against the...

    Just need to finish putting the valve body back together and then put the tranny back in the exploder.. Wow. I might actually have it running tomorrow after all... So far, the hardest part was putting the center support back in. I dont have a spare support to use to check clearances, so...

    Reassembling A4LD tranny--clutch pack question

    I'm reassembling my clutch pack on my 91 X and have a question. The kit I got from bulkparts.com has several clutch discs in it, but 2 of them are slightly different. They are the same physical dimensions, but the inner teeth on the clutch packs are different. The two in question have two...

    Transfer case question--nipple and hose?

    I took my transfer case off today in order to clean the governer on my 91 X. As I took it off, I noticed there is a nipple near where the driveshaft bolts up that has a hose on it that is routed up above the tranny where it terminates with a plug in it. Is this some sort of blowoff for the...

    Wierd shift problem. 91 EB, 1-2-3 shift issue

    Friend of mine has a 91 EB with 200k on the odometer that has a shift problem. It started out that the 2-3 shift would act odd. It would only shift if you let off of the gas, and then got back on it after it shifted. He took it to a couple shops who said the tranny is shot and he would need a...

    Will a 1995 Radiator fit in my 1993 Explorer 4x4?

    I was offered a good deal on a 1995 radiator since mine is suffering from the leaking plastic tank disease. I know the part numbers are different, but can it be shoe horned with little work into the existing radiator area, or will it not fit at all? Joe
