Does anyone else have a problem with the drivers side header. I changed the gasket but it stll sounds like a steam train with the exhaust leak.

Does anyone know who sells cowl hoods except explorer express. I cant find one for a 97.

does anyone know if a ford lightning or cobra front bumper will fit on a 97 explorer. I know i would proubably have to do some mods to it but would it even be close. Also I am looking for a cowl hood.

Im having a problem with my 92 Explorers turn signals. The problem is when i turn on my car, my top brake light, and my passenger rear blinker start flashing. i think that the left one doesnt flash because that its burned out. When i turn the blinker on, either direction, it doesnt stop the...

After 11.5K miles I noticed a drip right at the transfer case. Covered under Ford service, but I'm concerned there's something else going on, seals don't go bad that quick. BTW, I believe I'm starting to hear the dreaded whine under acceleration at hwy speeds. Ken

Hate to bring this up again, but before I go crazy with what options I actually have, can someone tell me if the factory 1 1/4" hitch can be removed and replaced with a 2" hitch? It looks to be integrated into the frame. I was trying to stay away from that Valley convert-a-hitch. Haven't seen any...

My radio with the single CD player decided to not eject the last CD I played. I guess I'll have to remove the radio and try to remove it that way. Can someone tell me how to get the radio out? I poked around a bit, but didn't want to break the surrounding plastic. Thanks Ken '02 XLS

Folks, This was discussed several months back here but I can't find the post, so if anyone can help I'd appreciate it. I have the smaller, 1 1/4" trailer hitch on my XLS. I want to use by Thule bike carrier which fits into the 2" but I don't want to go with the adapter since the tongue weight...

Hi folks, Can anyone tell me the largest tire I can use on my '02 XLS 4wd with the factory 16"rims? I saw an XLT with 245's, so I guess they will work. I don't want to go too big, but the current Michelins, 235's I think, look lost in the wheel wells. Thanks Ken

I run the OEM Michelin Cross terrains on my '02 and man does it ride rough. Bone jarring some times, have to check my filling after a while. (I really miss the air ride of my Expedition) I run the 32/35 recommended psi's. Anyone remedy this with shocks and/or tire change? Ken 2002 XLS 4x4

Jeez how cheap can they get. I guess most people never even check their tranny fluid, but I drive ~ 30K per year, and change trans fluid at that interval. What a pain to pull out a bolt and do a site check. Ken 2002 XLS 4x4

When I was in having the neutral tow option turned on in the computer (only charged me $25 since I did the work :) I asked about the rear glass recall and was told there were no parts available yet. I'll bug them again in a bit. Have to bring it in for leaking driveshaft seal. Ken

Anybody have experience with the airbag light flashing on an 02 explorer? If goes through 10 sets of 3 flashes (3 flashes each time, then a pause, then 3 flashes, pause and so on..) I tried putting bulb grease on the connections under the seat but that didn't help. I also read it might be the...

Recently while driving my truck no more than 26 miles to and from to work my temperature gage will fluctuate to hot. But as I check under my hood the engine's cool. My on-board computer also says "engine temp ok." As I stop for a minute and let the truck idle, when I take off again the temp gage...

The "Service Engine Soon" light just came on in my 2002 Explorer XLS. Isn't there some way to make the actual code display by . . . oh, I don't know . . .. turning the key a certain number of times while it's turned off or something like that? I just know there is SOME WAY to do this. I'm...

I was told that the low gearing noise while coming to a stop in my '97 Explorer 4 DR, 4x4, 6.0L can be fixed by replacement of the 2 hubs and bearing parts. The shop aggreed that I can supply my own parts, but I would like to know which bearing part should be included in the repair. Looking at...

Hello, I am new to the newsgroup and I have a few questions to ask. Here is one problem I cannot figure out maybe someone here can help. I have a 1996 Ford Explorer Sport. I was having problems with the heater cutting in and out while I was in Iceland and then it went out completely right...
