What's This Thing . . . ? by
NickD
On my '93 4.0 Explorer XLT there is a black plastic oblong (or
sausage) shaped container of some sort on the passenger side of the
motor. It's about 10 inches long and 3-4 inches around and has what
appears to be hard plastic vacuum lines attached to it. It's pictured
in my cheapie Chilton's...

MPG's. But,...

2005 Explorer Automatic Door Locks by
straycat
I have a 2005 Explorer and have noticed a couple of bass-ackwards ways of
dealing with the automatic door locks. This is the first car I've ever
seen that does this:
First of all when you unlock the doors from the INSIDE, it only unlocks
the driver door, unless you hit the unlock again. I unlock...

Sudden increase in RPM cured by depressing pedal????? by
Michael Horowitz
I was driving ('97 Explorer) at highway speed when I heard something
under the hood very loudly and very rapidly increase in RPM. My first

I am losing clutch fluid but I cannot see where it is going as there do not
appear to be any leaks. The clutch is not slipping and I do not smell
anything burning. It takes approx 2-4 weeks for the fluid to drain from the

Hitch to 95 XLT by
[email protected]
I was thinking of adding a hitch to a 95 XLT. Any idea what something
like this might cost? I'm only looking to use it for a bike rack, or
cooler rack, so I really won't be needing the light wires, just the
hardware hitch piece.
Any idea?

Proper Tire Rotation Method by
Kevin DeAngelis
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.
