I performed the "Nail Fix" as perscribed and well documented on this site: http://www.therangerstation.com/Magazine/Summer2009/blend-door.htm Good God, IT WORKED!!! I can't tell you how happy I am I found this repair. My Explorer has 322,000 miles on it and we expect to have problems. The...

Alright, so I have an '89 Bronco II 2.9l with 235/75r15 tires, which really bog it down, and I'd like some more power. My friend recently rolled his 2000 explorer and is willing to sell it for me $300. The roof is trashed, but everything under is fine. I've heard of people putting 4.0s in BII's...

Hello! I have a 1994 2.3L 5 speed standard cab short bed. It is on its last limb due to 344k miles and I am planning a swap soon. I am trying to decide on what I am going to do. I want to go with a 4.0L, but with some research I have learned that rangers came with OHV and Explorers had SOHC. I...

Ok, long story short, its cheaper here where i am to purchase a used explorer front driveshaft for my Dana 35 conversion. i got the three of the four bolts out, the three that use the star tool, and how do you get the one that is a regular hex bolt out, or is that bolt just filled with rust and...

Hey everybody. Just a question about anti theft. I have a 1998 ford explorer for parts. It came from a friend that owns a tow company. It was a impounded vehicle with a busted ignition. I wanted to convert a 88 b2 with the drive train from this explorer. The explorer won't run because the...

Converting a 89 BII to 92 Exp. The fuel lines for the explorer are female, so my dad decided to cut them from another Explorer (we don't have a donor vehicle) and cut them right after the male connector behind the fuel filter. now we have a problem of transferring the male of the Explorer to the...

Anyone know if the harnesses between the 91 and 92 explorers are different? Im going from a 89 B2 to a 92 Exp 4.0. I saw a wiring guide on the Corral and i wanna see if it can help me with the wiring and vacuum lining

In the Tech section, it mentions the transition to the SLA D35s on the later model gen 1 Ranger and Explorer. The BOM list shows the Explorer as having NON DISCONNECT (SLA IFS) from '95 on. I have a set of modified '94 Explorer TTBs and I like to the '97 Explorer style as a starting point...

Hey all, Does anybody know if any body panels from a 98 Explorer will fit a 99 Ranger? I am mainly curious on the rear bumper. Thanks, Mike

I can't stand having an open diff in my '01 Ranger! I'm looking for the best easy/cheap way to hook up my truck. Right now it's sitting on tiny 28" tires with a stock 7.5 with 3.73s and the open diff. It gets me around but, having an underpowered 4-banger, I don't really want to push the 33"s...

help please. i put a 2000 explorer 4.0 in my 2001 ranger and wont start. the ranger had a 3.0 and i swapped everything now i get no crank from the key and if i jump the solenoid theres no spark. fuel pump run and shuts off and fuel pressure is good at the rails. the explorer ran perfect and only...

Been throwing the idea of fixing up my 94 Explorer XLT or retiring her in favor of a newer Ranger/Explorer... The body is fairly clean. Just a touch of rust has appeared on that rear fender since this pic. Already has Warn hubs. Don't have picks of the interior right now, but also clean...

So now that I have my new 1354M installed, I think I want to tear it out and do the clutch. I'm trying to do everything around the tranny but the guts themselves... I've done the shift rail plugs, changing the fluid, and putting in the shift repair kit in hopes that I'll get smoother shifts. No...

I couldn't find the exact answer by searching, if I'm just overlooking it please forgive me. But, I was wanting to search some junkyards for a D35 to swap into my B2, wouldn't I just be able to find a 90 B2 with the D35 and be able to swap it dirrectly in without shortening the driveshaft like...

I just got my engine back from the machine shop and they took the balance shaft assembly out of the block for cleaning, when i got it yesterday they did not reinstall it. My question is, there are 2 holes under the balance shaft inbetween the bolt holes, one had a plug in it from the machine...

I'm looking at purchasing one of two 1998 Explorer Limited V8 models, and one states AWD, the other states 2WD. While researching on Edmunds.com and looking at the complete list of available models for 1998, no where does it show a 2WD V8 model available for 1998. Perhaps the person who is...

Well this is on a 2002 explorer Eddie, 4.0. The dome light stays on for 20 mins after you shut off the truck. At around the same time this started the keyless entry key pad stopped working as well. It almost seems like the computer thinks the door is open not letting the dome light go out. Also...

i am putting a 99 4.0 sohc from an explorer into my 99 3.0 ranger. i believe the swap will be pretty simple the only problem i see is fuel pressures the sohc runs a 65-75 psi where my 3.0 runs at 30-40 how could i increase my fuel pressure can i just change the regulator? will the entire...

Having a bit of an electrical issue with my 94 Explorer XLT. Went to leave a friend's house two mornings ago, and no start when I turn the key... 4.0 M5OD 4x4 So far I believe I have eliminated solenoid, battery, and starter issues. I can jump the solenoid with a screwdriver to get her to fire...
