I have a 2001 Explorer Sport. This AM, I was at a stop light and turned the air on to defrost the windows. When I turned it on, the idle speed dropped and the unit started to click on/off couple of seconds. Is this serious?

I'm trying to figger out the differential ratio on my "new" 99 Sport. I've been thru the owners manual a couple times and can't find any cross from the door label.. Axel 42 to a ratio. Under towing, 3.27, 3.55 3.73 and 4.10 are listed as possible for this 2 door 4L SOHC 4x4 with auto trans. The...

I have an '03 Explorer Sport, black, with factory grey running boards. My Ford dealer does not sell replacement paint for the running boards, because, they say, that is is a 'stock' part that comes grey. Has anyone found a gray that matches for touch up? Thanks. Frank in Austin

I am planning to get a sport track by march of 2005, probably a one to two year old. Any warnings or anything to lookout for? 2X2 or 4X4?. Mostly city driving with occasional Kayaking trips.

I had asked you about the rapid clutch cycling of my 01 Sport. Took to the shop today and they indicated iy was a half pound down. So they flushed and filled system. Drove off the lot and put the AC on and still rapid clutches. Brought back to shop and we discovered all reads great in park -...

Have you tried looking on ebay? I brought the exact same wheel to replace the steel wheel spare on my Explorer Sport for ~$50. "Newsgroups" > wrote in message ... >I need 1 16 inch wheel if anyone has one they are looking to sell. > >...

Hi, my Explorer bangs into gear when putting the vehical into reverse. It also seems to "lurch" forward when increasing speed. We just drive it in 4x4 Auto. I can't imagine this is normal. Any idea's what it might be. The Explorer only has 20k miles. Thanks, Steve

Hey everyone, When I bought my truck, the 4 wheel drive did not work (front wheels did not have power). My mechanic observed that the right side worked, but the left side did not. I picked up a used hub at the wreckers, installed it, and the 4x4 now works fine. However...when i disengage the 4...

I have a '96 EB 4x4. According to the owner's guide, the proper way to rotate four tires is to move the rear tires to the front, with the tires remaining on the same side of the vehicle. The front tires are to switch sides when moving to the rear of the truck. My company maintains a large fleet...

Plagued with Explorer rusty side step syndrome, I figured I would just remove them and have them blasted and refinished, right? Wrong! In addition to the actual step bar, there are three separate mounts (per side) each secured by two rusty bolts. On each mount, there is a plastic cap which...

I replaced the upper/lower intake gaskets on my '97 SOHC V6 Explorer today since I had been getting the usual warmup problems on cold mornings. The procedure had already been performed several years ago along with the timing chain tensioners. The gasket replacement seemed to go smoothly, but now...

I have a 2000 Explorer XLT with 57,000 miles. There is a strong vibration that increases and decreases with speed and resembles a thumping sound under the floorboard. Tires and brakes are okay. Any suggestions appreciated. JW

I'm sending this message as I'm too lazy to actually look for myself. But... Does anyone know where I can find replacement fog lights for 98 Explorer XLT? Mine have turned a nice shade of dirt yellow. I once looked but only found $300 sets. Surely they come cheaper. Thanks in advance. J

Recently my eb has been taking a second or two to engage into overdrive and also for a while i have been having voltage problems(using pwr windows affects the voltage bad). I have read articles that it is the alternator and voltage meter, but also read it could be a wiring harness grounding out...

my car, 1998 ford explorer 82k miles , recently very vibrating when I run on a slightly uneven road. It becomes shaking on uneven freeway at speed 60 miles. I have did agliment, tire rotation and tire balance but the problem still stays the same. I was wondering if something is wrong with the...

I'm looking at buying an Explorer from a local dealer and would like to know if there is anything I need to check before I sign all the paperwork. It is the 4x2 with 54k miles and appears to be in good shape. They will be replacing the driver side mirror and the windshield. After doing a quick...
