I was dreading replacing the EGR valve and tube, having read many threads & videos about what needs to be removed to get access. Here is how I did mine without removing any other parts, hoses, etc. On my 2000 Mountaineer 5.0 I got in there with a standard length 27mm wrench and began loosening...

I have a new right hand side door pull/armrest in tan color. Ten bucks plus whatever shipping costs. I'm in Tennessee.

So a couple of weeks ago a guy ran a red light and totaled my faithful 91 Ex. I had owned her 23 years almost to the day. Fast forward to a 1999 Ex for sale. Body is good, leather is good, transmission was replaced last year. Elderly owned, being sold by estate. I'm all set to pull the...

My daughter lives in Boise, ID. She has a code 646 on on her 95 Explorer. The shop that ran the codes told her she needs a new transmission for $1600. This may or may not be true, but I'd like somebody to adjust the bands before going any further. Can you guys recommend a shop that a 24 year...

I haven't found this one on the forums -- We just replaced the engine in a 1991 EX, and now the A4LD is leaking between the transmission and transfer case. We pulled the transfer case off to see if we could have left a rag in the back of the tranny, but it was clean. When we pulled the...

Here's my sad tale of woe. Son used the 1991 Explorer to tow his girlfriend's car; transmission was extremely low on fluid and he got it hot & black, then gave it back to me. It wouldn't shift into forward gears; only had reverse. I drained it, put a new filter and a jug of transmagic in...

1991 Explorer: I've been stripping a wreck and had a spare console (just the cup holder part, not the armrest) and I thought "Hmm, maybe I can do something with this. I cut it down on the jigsaw and reversed it & voila, a nice console. I took a piece of plastic and painted it black, mounted...

Another good deed gone bad. I went out after work to replace the striker bolt on my wife's 1991 XLT. Should be a 5 minute job, but when I unscrewed the striker bolt, CLUNK! - the nut plate fell off inside the door. I have it jerry-rigged, and called the 'Zone to see if they had anything to...

I didn't really know where to post this -- If I hadn't been REALLY BUSY running around I-24 picking up pieces, I could have posted it in OOPS! Bought a set of Thule load bars & a stacker & loaded two kayaks on it. They came off in Nashville at 70 mph and left the kayaks all over the...

I'm looking at a '92 with a bad transmission. The story is the son drove it over to his girlfriend's house, and when they went to leave, it went "pop" and dumped all the fluid. They say he didn't drive it, they towed it home & parked it. Sounds like a ruptured seal, but why the "pop?"...

:thumbsup: Nice guy to deal with - shipped quick & wanted to make sure everything worked for me. I would certainly buy from him again. Thanks!!!!!!!!

OK, we’ve pulled the VB off and disassembled it and ordered our parts. I purchased the Sonnax Indexer (part #56947-01) and Sonnax Boost Valve upgrade (part #56947-02K). I also got a new TCC lockup solenoid and 3-4 shift solenoid (about $20-$25 each). Of course a new filter and I bought a...

Having owned & maintained my Explorer since April 1990, it's only natural that after finding this board I would do more & more of my own maintenance. I began changing the transmission fluid a couple of years ago. The first time I changed the filter was in the carport. I jacked it up and...

Just before Christmas the transmission on my 91 EB started acting really weird - After pulling off the Interstate, it stalled the engine when I stopped. I could restart the engine, but when I stepped on the gas it would stall, as though trying to start in high gear. I posted a call for ideas...

I've had my share of transmission problems, but never anything like this ---> 91 EB, A4LD: It's been acting normally, a little weak, revving on hills, running about 2900 RPM at 70 (wife's 91 with a new rebuild sits on 2500 RPM @ 70). Today, on the way home, I entered the Interstate & it...

Over the last ten years I have gotten lots & lots of great tips from the Explorer Maintenance website - glue.umd.edu. It was one of the best for odd problems. I noticed in the last few weeks I can no longer access it. Does anyone know if it has been moved?

I just spent two weekends pulling & replacing the transmission in my 1991 XLT. It runs great, but now I get an engine light & the code 14 - ignition profile pickup erratic. My manual doesn't tell me what to look for -- I was hoping I popped a wire loose, but I looked pretty closely & don't...

:p Just needed a catchy title so y'all would read this. I've been hanging around these forums for quite a while; joined last month. Found out I need 15 posts before I can e-mail anybody, so here's one! As to the title of my post -- all the good parts for sale seem to be on the other side of...

Smoooth sale. FAST shipping on the part I bought and good e-mails. Just wish he had more stuff I could use!
