Does anyone know the dimentions of the stock wheel for a 95 Eddie Baurer
Explorer? I know they are 16" rims, but I need to know how wide, and what
backspacing.

Apparently the wife took the truck to have it aligned, and 3 of the wheels
> are bent, in addition to it needing ball-joints and rear brakes.

Thanks!!!

Subject: 94 Explorer idle

OK ,I've got a problem with my 94 Eddie Bauer Explorer (4.0). I had hoped I
had the problem fixed months ago, but the first day with the AC on this year
it is still doing it. I drove downtown on the highway (10 miles), AC on.
Turned the AC off when I got off the highway, drove to the Old Post Office
Building. ( just a few minutes). Went inside for maybe 20 minutes. Came back
out, started the Explorer, and ROUGH idle. Late last fall I changed plugs
(Bosch plat+4), new wires, air filter, cleaned MAF sensor, New O2 sensors,
pulled battery cable off. Just had a Mobil One oil change last week. What is
it about a load on the motor (AC) that is doing that. Runs fine otherwise
(except for 14 MPG, oughta be driving a V8) Would the IAC valve/sensor thing
cause this? Something else?

On a side note, how is the timing set on this V6?

Thanks

I used torquemasters on my talon a while back. I realize, not a small
ford truck, but in a short while, one of the insulators disintegrated
and destroyed the turbine exh wheel on the turbo. It was like someone
poured sand out of the exh port:-(. I noticed no gain in milage or power
either.

Stay away from the torquemasters.
Maury, the owner, is a friend of my fathers. He gave me several sets for
different vehicles over the years. Even at no cost, they sucked and were
pulled out within several hundred miles.. They are a scam just like the
Splitfires.
