'93Explorer Sport

Wow! MOst excellent info, Surf Dude. I wish I had known about
carstereohelp.com long ago. The site is going to make this replacement
understandable and I'll probe the site for more ideas on some future
projects. I am beginning to rethink and will probably upgrade my wife's
Explorer with a stereo like what you did and put the cheapy in my '86
Chevy service van. Thanx,I'm groovin' on it. (yea I'm from THAT era).

Thanx for the reply Ulysses. You might check out the message Surf Dude
sent.It leads to a great web site that has great possibilities.
I also have a daughter; 12 going on 16. Scares ol'Dad and makes me
understand those looks from them Dads when I was the kid sniffin' around
back then. She's already talkin' about "her car" and I'm teaching her a
little driving on the back roads. This vehicle is our weekend fishin'
vehicle and will probably be around when she gets a learner's permit. "Her
car" will have to be the one with all the latest safety bags and bells and
whistles; but their first wheels are usually "bumper cars" and this is a
good one.
I've had to give up trying to work on these newer autos; I use to like
wrenchin' on my '70 Chevelle back when. I give the work to the guys that do
it all day everyday and have the tools, place, and info on that particular
vehicle. But it gets aggrevating to have to come up with the big bucks on
each and every little thing, knowing that to get my keys back I have to
pay their overhead. But I know a little about business,too. We all have to
make a living. (Paid $500 to have an EGR valve and Valve gaskets put in my
2001 Saturn last week; should have signed the check Stupid.) So, I
understand what ya mean about having to work on autos. I try to do the
trivial stuff myself, but time is always a factor. Thanx for letting me
share--have a good evening, Ulysses
