Rumbling Sound When Started by
Big_Shoe
2005 Limited V8 with 4WD - When the Explorer sits for a day or two, I
often hear and feel a sort of rumbling/knocking sound, that seems to
be coming from under the driver, when I first start the engine.
Yesterday, the vehicle had been parked for two weeks and the noise was
very obvious. The noise...

Leaking Transfer Case by
D.D. Palmer[_2_]
My 2003 Mountaineer seems to have a leaking transfer case. At least I
think that's what's leaking...it's the boxy thing that the rear axles
(right and left) are connected to in the middle. It's not leaking badly,
but IS leaking.
Is this an expensive repair? Any insight? The vehicle has 74000...

Average Period of Car Ownership by
D.D. Palmer[_2_]
I know this is not directly FORD EXPLORER related, but I was just
wondering what the average period of car ownership is. NO, not the 17
years that a car lives, on average, from showroom to junkyard. But how
long is the average period of ownership before people trade to a newer
(but not...

brakes by
mab6680[_2_]
I'm going to try my best to explain this so bare with me. Over the last
year or so the brake pedal will get low and mushy. Here's the part that
has me baffled it doesn't happen immediately. This is so gradual It will
take a month or two before it is noticeable. If you have to stomp on the
pedal to...

buying a radiator by
[email protected]
Hi all. I need to buy a radiator for my 94 Explorer. Those that I
viewed have options to pick from A/C inlet/outlet. How important is it
to have the A/C cooling thing in your radiator? What is a good site to
buy it from? Any suggestions are welcome. I am naive to this.

Flex = New Explorer? by
CWLee
A few days ago I read an article about Ford's new Flex,
which I have yet to see but I'm told it is in dealerships
now. (I have two Explorers ('99, '00) and have been driving
Explorers for about a decade.) My first thought on reading
the article, and seeing a photo, was that "Oh, this is...

1994 Ford Explorer A4LD Tranny problem by
Jimmy the Hand
Hi All,
Out of the blue on Friday, my Explorer stopped shifting into overdrive
(at least I think that is what happened). I used to get up to about
80km/h and then the RPMs would drop from 2000 to about 1400 and then
even out around 2000 at 100km/h. When I'm driving highway speeds, I
find that I...

98 Explorer Sport Intermittent Speedometer Problems by
[email protected]
The speedo in my 4X2, 5-speed, 4.0 pushrod 98 Explorer Sport has

On a 1,000 mile round trip this weekend, it worked for less than 500
miles. On the way down, it would work for around 100 miles, then not
work for about a 100. On the way back it worked for...

Replace Steering Rack Boot 95 Explorer EB by
plex4r
Yesterday the passenger side steering rack boot split in my 4wd 1995 EB
Explorer and leaked power steering fluid everywhere on the street. I was
at home and have not driven it.
I think I could replace this by removing the tie-rod.
Is this true, or do I have to remove the whole power steering...
