Battery - Alternator problem? 96 4WD Explorer by Wil Swaloe
I bought a new battery for my 96 Explorer 4WD V6 5 days ago. I stopped to get gas, and had to get it jump started. I went back to AutoZone, they checked the battery and the alternator. They said both were fine. They recleaned the terminals and it started up. I also just had the transmission rebuilt...

Engine Races in Park on 98 SOHC by JLC
Sometimes my 98 Explorer races while in park, but when drive is engaged the engine idles down to a reasonable level, but is still higher than normal. The truck will do this when warm or cold but intermittently. Is there any linkage/cables that may be getting stuck or a throttle piece that I can...

I have a 99 EB Explorer. At the front of the xfer case, there's ATF sprayed up on the underside of the body, and there's some that drips off the case itself. It doesn't leak on the ground when parked, but after I drive it I see the fluid sprayed up under. I pulled off the vent tube and I can blow...

Rear Window Replacement by CWLee
I made a stupid mistake today, and failed to close the back upper window/door on my 2000 Explorer before I backed out of the garage. It hit part of the garage door and shattered. Ford quotes about $650, parts and labor, to replace it. How does that compare to what any of you have spent to...

98 Explorer Belt Tensioner Replacement by [email protected]
I am thinking about replacing/checking by Tensioner because I am hearing a droning noise when the truck is idling. Seems to be more prominent in very hot weather. I understand this is relatively easy to do. I took a look under the hood, and there's a belt diagram that easily identifies the...

Hello: I've got a 2002 Explorer with the 4.6l V8, auto trans, and 4x4. I use it to tow a 4000 lb boat through mountain highways. Since new I've had trouble getting smooth downshifts when towing up hills. If, anticipating an upcoming hill, I ease on the throttle and downshift manually...

Grinding noise from wheel (99 Mountaineer AWD) by J. Doh[_1_]
My left rear wheel recently started making a grinding noise (right after having the rear discs replaced). It is worst at low speeds (up to 20-25 mph) and most notably, it gets much worse when cornering either left or right, especially left. It seemed to disappear a few days after having the...

I have a 02' ford explorer sport and the other day I went to open the rear door and it would not open as usual, then I felt that the grip handle on the door latch had lost the tension that I was used to feeling when opening it. I also notice where it has somewhat disengaged on the right side but...

Automatic Ride Control by STEPHEN SAUNDERS
Hey Group, Can anyone tell me if my 1999 Explorer 2WD 4.0 SOHC has this feature and what could go wrong with it? Also, I suspect that the knocking sound (very faint) and the rapping that I can feel through the steering wheel is wheel bearing related. This problem only presents when the...

Clutch Replacement Success Story by Mark Barrett
I have a 95 Explorer with 245000 miles used manily by my 17 year son. Recently he decided to take it out off-roading and completely burned out the clutch. I told him the only way it was getting fixed is if we did all of the work ourselves. It took many hours of work but we got it done and it has...

I'm in AZ where I don't want to skimp on replacement of rubber parts, but I am probably way late on having this maintenance...

Dead Critter in A/C Vents??? by Fred Mayfield
My 92 Explorer stinks ... literally. Smells like something's died. Smells all the time but is much worse when the A/C is on. Pulled the fan and the wire-wound resistor pack and found a few leaves but no critters. Also pulled the heater core and reached as far around as I could without...

98 Sport - THEFT light on while driving by Uncle Fester[_1_]
My dashboard anti-theft indicator has been staying on lately while driving. When this started to happen a few years ago, other strange things started to happen, like my key fob not working the locks intermittently. Followed soon thereafter by some weak starts and replacement of the battery. The...
