NickD
I had the sweetest and smoothest riding '92 Exploder on the planet (4wd
XLT 4.0) and then two days ago I hit a major pot hole on the freeway
going about 65 mph. In an instant I was driving a different vehicle.
Now the steering wheel vibrates, and the suspension, and tires feel
like they are made...

store or work or something, come out a few minutes later (or could be
hours later) and no starting. No crank, no turnover, just click. The
battery has plenty of juice,...

Towing- Auto trans vs manual by
[email protected]
I noticed in the specs for the Explorer that when equipped with auto

For example, a 1998 with 4.0L OHV engine and 3.73 differential can tow
up to a 5160 lb trailer, vs 2700 lbs for the same specs except with a
manual transmission.
Anyone know why that...
