97 Ford Explorer won't switch out of 4wd by
Tweaked
Anybody have any ideas on what to try? I went by the manual and switched
it through all the gears, high, low and off. I backed up, everything.
Nothing seems to work.

Where is gear selector adjustment on 99? by
Mikepier
In my Chiltons manual, it says for 92-99, the adjustment for the gear
selector indicator thumbwheel is either under the steering wheel or on
the indicator itself. I have a 99 XLT, I was wondering if anyone knew
where it was and what is the best way to get at it.

Not Firing on both sides of the Coil by
jffclmn
I am working on my Son's 2002 explorer 4.0L. It will not start. I have
checked the fuel pressure, changed the crankshaft position sensor. When I
put a timing light on the wires, the left bank is firing, but the right
bank is not. Tried a different coil, I get the same results.
Thanks,
Jeff

Check engine light or OBD2 reader eraser by
[email protected]
Hi All,
How do I turn off the check engine light? The car won't pass inspection
with it on. I tried disconnecting the battery but nothing happened. I
found some check engine code readers/erasers on EBay here
http://stores.ebay.com/OneSmartMove
Has anyone tried similar one?
Thanks,

What kind of maintenance for very low mileage? by
[email protected]
I have a Ford Explorer that I mostly use for hauling boxes over short
distances -- most things are within walking distance around here, so I
put a max of about 3,000 miles per year on the truck. (How many of you
would like to be filling up once a month right now?)
What kind of regular maintenance...

Changing spark plugs by
J. Doh[_1_]
How much do dealers charge to change a set of spark plugs these days?
I took a look at the layout of my '99 Mountaineer (V-8 5.0L) and there's
no way you could get to some of those plugs unless you were a miniature
trained monkey, or pulled the whole engine out.

Towing- Auto trans vs manual by
[email protected]
I noticed in the specs for the Explorer that when equipped with auto
transmission it can tow a heavier trailer.
For example, a 1998 with 4.0L OHV engine and 3.73 differential can tow
up to a 5160 lb trailer, vs 2700 lbs for the same specs except with a
manual transmission.
Anyone know why that...

mp3 capability by
Aldo Pignotti
The 2006 Explorer XLS' basic stereo has "MP3
capability". What does this mean? Does it mean
that you can play cds with mp3 format files on
them or does it mean you can plug an mp3
player into the unit? Thanks.

Blinking 4X4 Indicators - Is There A Code For Number Of Blinks? by

My 2002 Explorer V-8 with about 30,000 miles started blinking the 4X4 LOW
