Explorer Load Weight Capacity? by JW[_3_]
I'm getting ready to lay a new laminate floor and can save some $$ if I can eliminate delivery. Any thoughts on trying to haul about 600 pounds in the back of a 2005 4X2 Explorer? Travel distance would be about 15 miles with no serious hills. My door panel shows a GAWR of 3200lb, but I don't know...

94 Explorer-acts like starving for fuel when accelerating, but..... by J Adams
When I accelerate hard, as in pulling out into traffic, the engine coughs and sputters. Loss of power. When I ease off then the engine operates normally. This basically happens over 2000 RPMs. I've added fuel additives, injector cleaners, octane boosters, you name it. The performance did improve...

Gasket and Freeze Plug issues... by Erik[_5_]
Hi all, This past weekend I took my car in to get its regular checkup. I have a '94 Ford Explorer Sport, 4.0 liter engine, 6 cylinder (I think), stick shift, and over 150,000 miles. Everything went fine, except when the mechanic showed me the car as it was hoisted up. He shined a flashlight on...

Bad Tires? by tfandango
Hi There- I've got a 2000 XLT and got 5 free Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires at 35K miles due to the whole Firestone calamity. Over the last 20K miles or so, the driver's side front tire has developed a WHOP WHOP WHOP sound that is loudest at 35MPH and is noticable until about 65MPH. Rotation seems...

General 4WD Questions ('92 mainly) by Ulysses
Hi everybody, I live in South California and we've been getting a lot of rain lately (at least WE think it's a lot) so I've been driving through some deep mud lately. When driving through the mud my Explorer (I have a '91 and my wife drives a '92EB) sometimes the car goes sideways, especially if...

diagnosing clutch issues by [email protected]
OK, I seem to have some issues getting into 1st gear on a 1996 manual 4WD sport. Also you have to delay some to move to other gears. Pedal seems 'springy', or close to normal - hard to say. When I switch the engine off, it slides into 1st effortlessly. The clutch fluid level is correct. I had a...

4.0 SOHC Tranny oil change 50KKm or 250Kkm? by Peter
Ford's "Scheduled Maintenance Service Guide" indicates that for 1996 to 2004 the explorer 4.0 only needs "transmission service" every 250Kkm! That's about 155,000 miles! It goes on to list a nunmer if transmissions and vehicles which do require fluid change at 50Kkm. Guess what wasn't there. No...

2003 Mountaineer V8 Tranny Fluid Change by D.D. Palmer
It's just not clear to me when the tranny needs to be flushed and how it's done and who can do it. Apparently it's now a sealed unit without a dipstick. The owner's manual is worthless...it says if you have THIS tranny (gives a code number), then change this often, if THAT tranny, than that often....

1994 explorer auto hubs grinding by Happy Father
when i engage the 4x4 it works fine but i am concerned out the slight griding noise i hear and feel in the gas petal, is this normal? I assume with the 4x4 on i should experience a different feel in the gas peddle. It engages and disengages fine. The only other thing is when i turn over 1/2 way...

OK. I am gonna guess that this question has been posted in the past, but I can't find it so here goes.... 1991 Ford Explorer Auto 4X4 EB I have been told that the tranny in it is "not the greatest". I don't have enough tools or skills to go to a C4 or "other" option. I could probably R&R the 4ALD...

P.A.T.S. anti theft on 98 Explorer? by Red
I've been told that some 98's were equipped with a Passive AntiTheft System which requires any new keys to be programmed, sorta like programming a new remote button. How can you tell if your vehicle has the PATS system? I got only one key with my used Explorer. The black plastic head is marked FORD...

Is the Ford Explorer good for illegal street races ??? by Karl-Hugo Weesberg
My friends say that my Fors Explorer is slow and I can never beat them. Is that true ? Can I upgrade the car for the street races? It's important to be faster than the cops, that's rule #1!
