OBD2 eader by
Trefor
I'm thinking of buying one of these. Around £25 on ebay.
I know nothing at all about them.
Are the more expensive ones that connect to a PC more useful?
I have a '99 ford explorer, (UK spec, V6), and get the Suspension warning
light, only when
towing my caravan, and only after about an hour. If I...

Explorer Diesel? by
Big Shoe
Has anyone heard whether Ford has plans to offer a diesel in the
Explorer? I am talking about a modern type of diesel, not the farm
tractor type usually installed in vehicles here. I have ridden in
some in Europe and Australia where the noise and vibration was so low
it was difficult to know it...

Rear Noise While Turning on '92 by
Ulysses
Hi.
While making tight turns on pavement (such as in a parking lot) I am getting
a sort of grinding sound that seems to be coming from the rear wheels or
axles. It also feels kinda loose or funny and the truck seems to jerk
sideways a little bit. It's almost as if I was driving in 4WD on...

1997 Explorer P0171 and 174 trouble codes by
Larry
To all,
Any ideas? These indicate "lean fuel air mixture bank 1" and P0 174 is
the same for bank 2. It drives fine. I noticed this happens after I
drive about a mile then shut it off and go to McDonalds, then continue
on. If I just leave home and head a couple of miles to the freeway
then...

96 V8 with 50k on it Gunked up ... why? by
chief_wiggum
I had to replace a leaking valve cover on my 96 this weekend, and was
SHOCKED to find a TON of sludge in the valvetrain!
This engine was COMPLETELY rebuilt 50,000 miles ago, and has had the
oil changed at least every 3,000 miles.
The first few oil changes were Pennzoil, but then I switched...

I have a 97 Explorer Limited SOHC. A few weeks ago I started up the
truck and within a few minutes the temp gauge was all the way at the

temperature. Since then, every time I start it, even if it has been
sitting for days, the gauge...

I have a 2005 Explorer and have noticed a couple of bass-ackwards ways of
dealing with the automatic door locks. This is the first car I've ever
seen that does this:
First of all when you unlock the doors from the INSIDE, it only unlocks
the driver door, unless you hit the unlock again. I unlock...

93 Explorer 3 questions by
Jalopy Bob
Hello; I recently got a 93 Explorer with 84000 miles from the original
owner. It is the 4.0 V6.
How many miles are these usually good for? What kind of city and
highway gas mileage can I expect?
The A/C compressor clutch squeals. Can I have it rebuilt or just buy a
new one?
Thanks!
