I've been lurking at least a couple years, but I just bought 2 Explorers, so now I feel like I can contribute without being laughed out of town.
2? you say? Yup...the 'runner' and the 'parts rig'. The previous owner got tired of his lawn art, and I picked them up for $700.00 for the pair. The 'runner' ('93) has tranny issues..Duh!..but drives. Sort of, in an 'around town, baby it along' fashion. And the parts rig ('91) has a 'good' tranny, but no title, and the column's stripped. P.O's plan was to swap trannies and keep the runner automatic. MY plan, OTOH, is to turn the Toyo-Kogyo 5 speed left over from my used-up Aerostar, into a 4x4 version, and make the runner a 5 speed, for the same effort, and less cost than keeping it A4LD.
The runner's got torque converter issues (NO! Say it ain't so!), but it DOES drive, so I'm a-drivin.
So then...Here I am; maybe I can repay some of the knowledge I've gained over the last few years from the Tech Library and the Forums.
Off to the 'you know you drive...' thread!
