Hello, I have a 1993 ford Explore 4x4 and I am wondering how hard it is to replace the brake cylinder. I have a leaky one that needs to be replaced and was planning on doing this on the weekend. Thanks in advance. Dave

I live in the Greater Toronto Area, looking at buying my first SUV. After monitoring used car listings extensively over the last 6 weeks I've decided that an Explorer, with an outside chance of a Pathfinder, is my best bet give my $10,000 CAD limit. 4Runners, Xterras and CR-Vs depreciate too...

The fuel gauge is reading beyond full when in fact it was about 1/4 full. I have since filled up and driven several miles. Is it possible that a fuse could be the problem or am I looking at having the fuel gauge replaced?

Just driving down the road and power stopped going to rear wheels. My 1991 Explorer 4x4 has manual 5 speed, electric 4w drive selection, and was in 2W High. The 4W drive system has been inactive for the last 5 years and the 2 buttons don't do anything. The clutch seems be engaging but no power...

For those that used some polish to clear up the lens. Did you have to take apart the headlight to do the inside part of the lens? Thanks, David

Hi there, I have just acquired a 1999 UK model Explorer and I have an annoying problem. On start-up (and at apparently random times whilst driving) it emits 5 bursts of 5 beeps (the same beep as when you open the door with the key in the ignition). At first I thought it was a frost warning as it...

Last question - for now ;-) ... I have started getting a warning light come on. It is on the upper left of the instrument panel - an orangey yellow picture of the car with a line through it. I can't work out what it's warning me about as nothing seems to be amiss and it goes away when I turn off...

My newly acquired 1999 UK model explorer had no handbook with it. Can anyone help me out with the correct tyre pressure for my 255/70x16s (for both round town and cruising, if possible) thanks db

I own a 97 Limited 4WD SOHC with 118k miles and i've been told by a shop that the transmission went. The fluid is a dark nasty color and when it gets hot it stops moving. If I let it cool it drives again but then stops when it gets hot. Is it in fact toast and needs a complete rebuild? If the...

I have a 97 Explorer Limited SOHC. A few weeks ago I started up the truck and within a few minutes the temp gauge was all the way at the top and the computer in the console told me to check the engine temperature. Since then, every time I start it, even if it has been sitting for days, the gauge...

I've been searching this group and other Explorer resources on the Internet but I haven't found much good advice on upgrading the brakes on my Explorer. I have a 97 Limited, 4.0 SOHC, 4WD and I plan on pulling a trailer cross country this summer (I'm guessing about 3,500 lbs but I'm not sure). As...

This is a recent problem, 2 days tops. Sometimes when I start the car it starts fine but then dies. I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it going. When I am driving and I slow down the rpm's drop fast and the car can stall. After driving a while it seems to be fine, but it does this even...

I have started to notice that when I am driving about 10 miles per hour there is a steady wobble back and forth. As I accelerate above about 15 MPH it goes away. What could be causing this? Thanks in advance for any help. David

My wife was crusing along and the engine died. She stopped the vehicle put in park and started and everthing fine, no check engine lights. This is the first time we have had any problem. Vehicle has 39k.

Anyone know which of the wire colors in the plug on the back of the 91 AM/FM/Cas radio goes to which speakers? Or better yet, have a speaker wiring diagram? I'm installing a similar radio from a later model TBird, but it has a different style of speaker plug...same number of speakers,...

If it stays in the normal range while it's cycling, what is the problem? If you are sure the Tstat has the correct temp limit, you may not have any problem at all. Sounds like it is opening and closing just like it should when the engine begins to heat up to the stat limit. My 91 typically...

Thanks for tip, J. I'm still not sure this problem is fixed, although I was finally able to get some brake fluid to bleed through. Where is the limiting valve located? "J Abbey" > wrote in message ... > could be your limiting...

Replaced the spark plugs last night. That right rear plug is a bitch to get at. The original plugs still fired, but after 14 years it didn't seem like a bad idea to switch. The gap had grown to about .075, somewhat over spec. I'm hoping to gain a little better gas mileage with the...

Thanks for the discussion here. You saved me $80. The guys at the oil change place tried to pull this one on me this morning. Showed me some plug covered with gunk and small metal shavings. It's the second time they've tried to get me to have the service performed. Luckily, I pulled out my owner's...
