I've got a 98 v6 sohc and I've got the infamous flashing 4WD hi/ 4WD low light problem. From doing a search I've found that it is probably a faulty speed sensor (I thought that it might be) and that they are located in the transfer case. Has anyone replaced them theirselves? How hard was it? How...

I have this explorer that keeps breaking the dipstick when I put it in the motor. I've replaced the tube and the dipstick both but it keeps breaking. Right on the tip like its twisting off. Anyone ever had this problem know what to do about it? I seem to recall newer 4.0l motors had a dipstick...

So, how do I remove the crankshaft pulley from my 4.0 '92? How do I keep the pulley from turning while trying to remove the screw? Is the screw standard thread (counterclockwise to remove)? I modified a strap wrench to hold the pulley but I'm afraid of snapping off the bolt at this...

My 2002 XLT came with a Class II, 1-1/4" receiver hitch. I'd like to replace it with a Class III, 2" hitch. Is it a simple matter of unbolting the original and bolting on the new one or is there some welding to contend with? Thanks, Rob

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. The internal temperature system has been fluctuating for the past few weeks. I normally set the internal temperature at 72 degrees. The heating system will normally maintain this temperature during the car trip. Recently, the system will change from 72 degrees to 71...

I have a 1984 Ford E-150. The start position on the ignition switch will not operate the starter. I have been starting the van by connecting a wire from one of the small terminals on the starter relay to the positive terminal on the battery. Could this problem be associated with a repair part...

I have the same year and the same problem, I read it's due to the gas tank and the driver weight on that one side.

Just did a 4-wheel disc brake job on a 2002 Explorer XLS 4.0 2WD with ABS (not Sport or Sport Track). Replaced pads, resurfaced rotors, lubed all the right places, etc. Had no trouble compressing calipers, no trouble getting all back together, etc., just the usual rusted-on rotors in the rear. Now,...

Hello, just purchased a new serpentine belt for my 1998 Explorer EB, V8 from one of my local Ford dealers. Now that I'm home I noticed a slight difference in the Ford part numbers and wonder if I purchased the correct belt? The old belt on my truck has the part number F77E-8620-PA and the...

I have a 1999 Explorer XLT (72000 on clock, all but first 3000 mine) in UK. Was driving through town at 25 or so mph in traffic. Traffic ahead slowed so i touched the brakes. There was a strange metallic knocking noise, just like a spanner being dropped through the engine compartment, and the...

I have a 99 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0L V8 that recently started overheating (or thats what the gauge is telling me). The "Check Gauge" light has come on, but turning the heat on seems to make the gauge read cooler. The radiator is barely warm, but definitely not hot, and no coolant is boiling when...

I am stumped. My explorer has me running in circles. Left directional is operating fine. If I push the turn signal upward, to signal right turn my relay starts to buzz. (The yellow one under the driver dash). If ?? I just push the lever without it clicking and let it blink a few times then pushing...

Hi, When driving I get strange gear changes as if the gearbox moves to neutral between changing, this results in a reving of the engine each change. After a while doing this I get the overdrive light flashing. As soon as the overdrive light starts flashing the problem goes, however, 1st gear...

I scheduled some service on my 2003 '03 Mountaineer V8 that will be 3 years old on Sept 15th. I've never done anything under the hood except oil changes, a fuel filter at 30,000 miles and an air filter. The dealer suggests a tranny flush ($139) and a coolant drain and fill ($40). Or they can do a...

My trusty Explorer with 260K+ miles has developed a slow power steering fluid leak at the steering rack. Since that part is over $300, and the leak is real slow, we tried using some stop leak, which seemed to work for a few months, but now it has started again. The onlyt obvious symptom is a...
