Went to replace the brushes in my 120k miles alternator and none seem to available. Local Schucks Auto Parts says "Standard # FX72" is the correct parts, but were backordered. www.Rockauto.com says the same thing. Anyone else know where to buy such parts? Jerry in Kingston, WA

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...

Here's a problem with a front right window on a 92 4 door XLT. The motor and switches are working okay. My wife came back from shopping and said that she could not get the window down all the way and then it would not go back up. Someone in the parking lot had helped her get it back up. Come the...

Anyone know why the EGR Pressure Sensor on a 99 EFI would have melted? It almost burnt a hole through the intake manifold while it was at it. thanks, Murray

Lately my Explorer has been slower to start; it does start and run OK, but I have noticed that it has to turn over a little longer before starting. What should I be checking to cause this? The engine hasn't had anything done to it since I purchased it new, May 2000. Except of course, oil changes...

This isn't about the rear wiper -- I learned to ignore that a long time ago <grin>. My front wipers will sometimes not start. I searched through old posts, and it seemed that most were concerned with uncommanded starts. I've checked fuses - obviously not the problem because they will...

Anyone know a source for the OEM Class 3 Hitch for the 02+ Explorer? I can get one that bolts on to the frame underneath the original Class 2, but I' rather just have one receiver back there. Iwas trying to save a few bucks with someone like Reese, or Draw-Tite from the aftermarket, but they...

I was wondering if anybody knows where the switch is that turns the dr ajar off I know it's the passenger dr that is causing the problem. I have looked in auto repair books and they where no help in me finding the switch as to it's location.

Any suggestions on "tuning up" a '98 explorer with 120K miles? Fuel filter, front/rear differential oil, wheel bearings, etc? Thanks for the info.

I got my '02 XLT used, and I'm not sure how to identify if I have the towing package -- specifically if the hitch is not the standard Class II hitch but the towing package's III+ hitch. It's the 4.0 engine, 2 wheel drive, auto transmission. But, that's all I'm sure of. Thanks for any help on...

I am going to change the shocks myself soon on my 99 XLT. Monroe's website, as well as other auto parts websites, list a steering stabilizer, but I can't find it anywhere in the front of my truck. Can someone point me in the right direction?

About 3 months ago, I had a problem with the Explorer starting. At that time, it would crank, but not catch. I replaced the fuel pump relay and the problem went away. Now it cranks, catches, and then immediately dies. Time after time. I tried pumping the gas, not pumping the gas... And I've...

I recently noticed on my 99 XLT that there is a slight leak coming from the threads( where it goes into the oil pan). I loosened the plug slightly and re-tightened it ( not much as I was afraid to strip the threads) I will check again at the end of the day. But I was just curious if anyone else had...

On a 2002. I've got some kind of substance (car wash wax maybe?) on the exterior windshield that makes night driving in the rain a significant safety issue. New wipers haven't fixed it. I've tried several auto-type glass cleaners with no success. Recommendations? Solvents, ultra-fine steel wool,...

I FINALLY got my brother’s Explorer...a 1994 model for a GREAT price. The thing is bullet proof. It is a 4wd model, but the 4wd hasn’t worked since he has owned it (five months) and he doesn’t have much "mechanical ability" so he just left it alone. You push the actuator buttons and nothing...

I noticed noise coming from my tires recently. Mechanic said the tires are 'cupping', probably due to bad shocks. The tires are Michlen XC LT4. They were put on at 18000 miles (Firestone recall) and the car now has 65500 miles. I have replaced the shocks with sensatracs. I also had front end...
