Recently bought a 91 explorer. The blower motor quit working. Well at first it would work when I banged on the dash but now has completely stopped. My first thought was bad connection at switch. I pulled the connector off the fan switch. I jumped yellow (keyed hot)and org/blk (fan high), blower...

I was looking under my 91 explorer today and can see my fly wheel through a rectangular hole. Is this normal? is there suppose to be a cap or plug for this? If so where can I get one? Seems dirt and moisture could get up into flywheel.

any suggestions for oil additive for noisy lifters. Recently picked up a 91 explorer.

Picked up a very used 91 Explorer Sport 4x4 with 5 speed today. Grinds going into 2nd up shifting and down shifting. not bad but annoying. Could this be a synchronizer?

Stopped by the junkyard on my way home from work. Picked up 1 manual locking hub and 2 sets of axle nut/spacers for manual hubs from an early 89 B2.. Total price $17.50. I assume this is all I need to change from auto to manual locking hubs dana 28. Still on the look out for another manual hub.

I went on a weekend trip in southern Missouri with my 89 B2. 4wd was working great until I got it stuck in a creek. the engine just died and lost my momentum. The engine started right back up but I had to get pulled out.There are no good tie points on the front of the B2 so I hooked it to the...

I am slowly bringing an 89 B2 2.9 Automatic back to life. The tranny wont shift into OD . Other than not shifting into OD it shifts good in all other gears.. Supposedly it shifted great b4 it sat for so many years. Im hoping its something simple. I dont want to sink any more money into this...

I am slowly bringing an 89 B2 2.9 Automatic back to life after sitting for a few years. I notice when taking off a little harder than normal from a stop I hear a grinding/popping noise from rear end. If I take off slow or normal from a stop I do not hear a noise. Could this be My CV drive shaft...

Ok so we all have a left over gallon of Transmission fluid thats been sitting around in your garage a couple years from a tranny fluid change on a car you no longer have anymore or that unopened qt of oil thats been sitting on a shelf for who knows how long. Im mean really, is there a shelf life...
