I just got my '97 AWD V8 back from Ford after they replaced the rear main seal (ouch). Maybe in my head, but something wasn't right with it since I got it back. Today, I was pulling away from a traffic light at about 10 m.p.h, and stepped on it. As it was accelerating, I heard two loud "clunks"...

I have a 99 explorer with a 4.0 OHV. Noticed a loud sound like a vacumn cleaner running coming from the intake on a hot day when the truck is at idle or under 1000 rpm after driving 10+ miles. Goes away when I idle it up. If I lift the hood when at idle the air cleaner box and intake hose are...

Okay, so I get pulled over by a cop, who happens to be a buddy of mine. He tells me my cyclops/ centre brake light above the tailgate is out. I've looked all around and can't figure out how to fix this anyone have any idea?

On a variety of vehicles, mostly emergency ones but also motor homes and RVs, I've seen two external battery posts, each about 1" in diameter and 4" long, mounted about 4" apart, near the front or rear bumpers (sometimes elsewhere). One is covered with a black rubber sleeve, and the other with a...

Yesterday I was asigned an '01 Expedition that has the keyless entry. Of course, no one knows the code and I was unable to locate the computer to find the original code. Can someone tell me where they have hidden the computer on this particular model? TIA. John -- "It is necessary for us to...

Sorry to revisit this subject because I believe I recall reading earlier posts about the difficulty in doing such a mundane thing. Now it is time for me to do this to my 1999 SOHC 4.0 XLT (2WD). When I looked under the hood, I could see that it wasn't going to be straight forward. Are there any...

The dash light for the tach has gone out on my 96 Explorer. After pulling out the three screws above the clear panel, it is not obvious to me what to do next. How do I get at the cluster to replace the bulbs? Is it a 194 bulb? Thanks.
