Hello fellow Explorer enthusiaststs! So my boy has custody of the Explorer now. He was out earlier in the year and she died. I went there and it seemed as if the fuel pump wasn’t powering, but it would crank, with spark. We had to get it towed home and then it immediately started, then didn’t...

So I’ve been getting ready for the new season and I ran the explorer for a while the other day. When I turned it off, the door chime went off constantly and the left blinker is stuck on. Started troubleshooting today and the blinker is still blinking and door chime still chiming when battery is...

Hello fellow Explorer enthusiasts! Can anyone confirm whether the first gen and second gen roof racks are the same dimensions? Reason I ask is I am selling a custom set of roof racks that I designed for my 93, which someone with a 97 has inquired about. Thanks all!

Hey all! Been running like a champ. but had a very weird issue yesterday. After a good couple hour run up a mountain and back I was putting along a forest road; low speed, level. Explorer stalled dead as if the engine was just turned off. Tried starting, and wouldn't catch. Popped the...

My Ex just is not happy lately, now I am stranded! Had an issue I posted about the other day where it would not start. Traced it to a fuel issue and replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. Ran great for a couple days. Went to a friend's today and when I went to leave it started but was...

Hey all. Well the SUV finally left me stranded without it being something I broke. Just trying to figure it out right now. What I know: -Cranks fine, battery is putting out plenty of juice, all wiring seems okay. -Have spark as verified by pulling a spark plug and watching it fire -Can...

My Son Riley grew up wheeling with me in my 93 Explorer. Was right there in the trenches with me helping with the solid axle swap, always shared my love of this the outdoors and wheeling. Manly things.. He turned 16 and came clean with me about feelings he had been having. I really had no idea...

Hello fellow Explorer enthusiasts! Shameless non-explorer plug here, I entered a photo contest to win a Fender Vintage re-issue guitar. I think I have a good shot. The thing is, to get to the finals you need to achieve top ten in votes through a facebook app. Now I know, I haven't been too...

As far as I know The rollover tendencies of a first generation Ford Explorer are: -Yes they are more prone to rollover than passenger vehicles (sedans, coupes, etc.) -They are no more prone to rollover than other SUVS of that era and style. -The amount of rollovers compared to other SUV makes...

I was strolling through youtube today and I thought wow, one of my vids is like over ten thousand views. Then I looked at some others that, in my opinion were pretty boring and they have a gazillion views. I guess I am wondering why there are freakin awesome Explorer videos that don't seem to...

I always hated how the dome lights are always on in my first gen Explorer when a door is open. I decided to track the wiring and install a switch to disable them when I want, like when camping and listening to the radio for instance. First, Undo the philips screw at the lower part of your...

Thought I would share my camp shower. The water is fed into the main pipe chamber which is divided into two halves. The water goes in, flows down one side gets into the other side through an internal opening, then comes out. I use a generator and a submersible pump in the lake or river or...

Hey, I watched a war documentary recently, entitled "Restrepo". It was basically centered around a group of US soldiers stationed at a remote outpost in Afghanistan during one tour. I liked the format, you got to know the guys, it wasn't too political, just observed them during their...

Hey all, My Toshiba Satellite A30 had been displaying a warning at startup for about 3 years, indication hard drive failure was imminent. Yesterday, it finally died I guess, because it just won't start anymore, I get the failure warning, pressf1 to continue, and it just sits there with a...

Hey, FINALLY took at look at what goes on down under there. I am thinking about remedying this, after the summer. In the vid I go first to second harder than I normally would but I expect I get at least that amount of twist during wheeling operations. My Old man Emu springs are actually...
