HELP! I've got a distinct chirping under the hood of my '98 explorer. It has approx. 116K miles on it, but i have taken good care of the vehicle. I have replaced both idler pulleys and the alternator, which have helped, but still have the chirping sound. Water pump??

Tonight my ABS light came on. It's a 2002 Explorer 2wd with about 52,000 miles on it. Any ideas what may be the problem? The brakes seem to be working normal.

My 4.6, V8, uses the 820S but I have room for a much larger filter, larger than the FL1A as used by my old V6. I do not need an oil cooler or remote add on filter just looking for a little better filter....

The hatch door on the very rear of the explorer is stuck, the key won't unlock it to open the window and hitting the lock/unlock buttons won't unlock it to open the hatch/door. Anybody ever experienced this or know how to attempt to fix it.
