97 Explorer auto 4WD SOHC 82k miles My problem: When I floor my SOHC, it revs up to only about 3-3.5 thousand RPM. It rarely goes much over 4,000RPM... and if it does, it seems to go quite slow. I just started noticing this, I'm certain a few years ago my Explorer seemed much faster. Any ideas?...

There are a few vehicles here that you some of you may find of interest, particularily the mountaineer. http://www.motorcrafts.com - B

So a dealer near me has a 2001 Mountaineer that looks really good, carfax came back ok and all, so I call the dealer for a quote. (Which I should have taken thirty minutes and stopped by, but what's done is done.) They call me back, and I ask for their best drive-out price on a cash sale, no...

2002 Explorer EB V-8 I hear a buzzing noise when my foot is on the accelerator. When I let off the gas, the noise stops. If I go back on the gas again, it may or may not return. It sounds like it comes from the front of the truck somewhere. I brought the truck in for the rear lift glass recall...

Several months ago, I picked up an ATP JX-150 in-line magnetic AT filter for my '98 5L Explorer. Not sure which line to cut to insert the filter into. Can't tell which is supply and which is the return line. TIA for your help, John

I rode in a brand new Mustang GT last night. That car is nice. As you were. a.

Hi there. This is an extreemly useful newsgroup. Saving me a lot of money. This next issue seems out of my ability to fix, but I'll ask anyway. My clutch seems to be slipping a little bit. I can't nail it down to a certain gear to gear transition, it seems to be pretty random. I can feel the...

What is a good book to get?

i posted before asking why my rebuild was giveing me so many problms and they assumed it was the valve body. well they replaced the valve body but said that wasnt the problem. The problem was the speed sensor? anyone heard of this effecting the trannies performance? anyway, i had to pay for the...

Hi All I am looking to buy any explorer hubs that don't work. I have had good luck rebuilding 2 sets and want to do more.

I have a 2000 explorer EB. I have a small, driveway staining, leak that seems to be comming from the riders side shsft between the CV boot and the transfer case. My local Ford dealer said it was the "outer seal" and wanted 300.00 to fix it. I have done most everything on Volvos and toyotas, but I...

I need help on the 4 wheel drive part.

i need to change mine because the blower motor will only run when the switch is on high. i understand that is because the "blower motor resistor" is bad (the resistor unit with winding coils on it). i know what it is and what it looks like, and i was told its on the back of the blower motor. can...

I have a 94 Explorer with the 4-liter V-6 with engine trouble. The engine starts and idles fine, however, under all levels of acceleration including driving under power at speed the engine hesitates and sputters causing a loss of power. When the gas pedal is released the engine calms down,...

Folks, This was discussed several months back here but I can't find the post, so if anyone can help I'd appreciate it. I have the smaller, 1 1/4" trailer hitch on my XLS. I want to use by Thule bike carrier which fits into the 2" but I don't want to go with the adapter since the tongue weight...

Hello everyone, I am getting a check engine light on my 1996 Explorer V8. It has 168,000 miles on it, so I feel sure it is time to change the O2 sensors. The codes are saying the converter efficiency is low (P0420 if I remember correctly). I have changed one sensor, but the other three...

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer Sport, and everytime i turn on my vehicle the radio display does not display. I can not seem to figure out why, any suggestions?

I was reading in some Consumer Buying Guide that AWD has been discontinued in the 2005 models. Does anyone know why? I have it in my 2003 XLT and it has performed flawlessly in deep soft sand at Cape Hatteras and in fairly deep snow the last two winters. I'm just wondering if Ford discovered...
