Noticed a oil buildup in the right front wheel well. Traced it to the front diff vent. Was told that the diff cover needs to be replaced due to a poor design in the original(baffling was added to return the oil to the diff while allowing the vent to function.. Ford dealer quoted 650$ for the...

Ford Explorer 2002 XLT, 95k km on it. After a cold start, when accelerating between 20-50km/hr I get an intermittent rattle coming from underneath the front of the truck...its fairly quiet but noticeable if you don't have the radio on. After driving for about 10-15 minutes the rattle goes away,...

So you want a "nicer" console huh? I had that same thought you did. It didn't go all the way to the dash that i wanted it to or serve any purpose but have cup holders. I ripped mine off the floor and actually created my own. I turned it into a speaker/ center console. My advise to you is.....if...

I had the sweetest and smoothest riding '92 Exploder on the planet (4wd XLT 4.0) and then two days ago I hit a major pot hole on the freeway going about 65 mph. In an instant I was driving a different vehicle. Now the steering wheel vibrates, and the suspension, and tires feel like they are made...

I have a 1990 Ford Ranger with Power Windows. Today when I went to raise the driver's side window it would not go up. I heard a clicking sound as if something was slipping or not engaging. If I grabbed the window with one hand while holding the window in the up

In a couple of years I'll finally give up on my '91 Explorer (and its endless litany of problems - see numerous posts in this ng :) and start shopping for a regular cab, regular bed pickup (which will better suit my current and future needs than the SUV - if I get another SUV as well my spouse will...

Apologies for being off topic but I thought someone may have run into this problem I'm currently having. I paid off my Explorer last February and have yet to receive the lien release or clear title from Chase Bank. I've made numerous phone calls to them over the last 8 months with no luck. Does...

Well, took the Explorer (97) into the dealer today because it was making that hideous noise AGAIN. You know the one that was supposed to be fixed with the new tensioner? Well, we found out that the timing chain cassette was bad and needs replacing ...TOTAL COST $1030.85 Just what we need now! House...

The car intermittently will not crank. I hear a click but no turnover. It starts fine for a month or so and then I'll go to the store or work or something, come out a few minutes later (or could be hours later) and no starting. No crank, no turnover, just click. The battery has plenty of juice,...

I am getting a seat belt warning light and the ding, ding, ding whenever I run my 2005 Explorer. This happens at all times, even when someone is in both seats and both belts are buckled. It goes off, stops for a little while then comes back ona gain. It completely stops after about 15...

Went out this mornning to get into my "exploder", and the drivers side door isn't working - won't open from inside or out. My husband is going to hit the roof, as we are in bad financial straights right now. Anyone experience this?? I wonder if it can be fixed easily, and if hubby could do...

I noticed in the specs for the Explorer that when equipped with auto transmission it can tow a heavier trailer. For example, a 1998 with 4.0L OHV engine and 3.73 differential can tow up to a 5160 lb trailer, vs 2700 lbs for the same specs except with a manual transmission. Anyone know why that...

I have a 1996 Explore and my speedometer is erratic. While traveling at 70 mph it will suddenly drop to 50 mph stay there for a few minutes then jump back to 70. This has been going on for abount 2 weeks. Today again to drop 50 and stayed there even when I came to a full stopped. The needle...

Contemplating doing a compression test on my V6 pushrod (1996) Explorer engine. I've never done one before, so I started reading up about it. The procedure appears to be:- 1) remove all spark plugs. 2) Block throttle wide open 3) Disconnect primary wires from the coil. 4) Insert gauge and crank 4...
