2002 Ford Explorer by [email protected]
I am looking at getting a used vehicle and get rid of my old truck. I am looking at a 2002 with low miles. Are these good, reliable vehicles? If I got one without the 3rd seat can they latter be converted to 3rd seat if I wanted or not?

Getting rid of '92 Explorer XLT by g the b
I have a '92 Explorer XLT (4x4 4.0 6 cylinder) that I've decided to get rid of. I've had it for about a year now but it needs a new head gasket and exhaust. Considering what I just paid for it not that long ago I don't feel like sinking much money into it. Besides for the gasket and exhaust...

Fuel Reset? by D.D. Palmer
Today I was riding as a front passenger in our 2003 Mountaineer. I noticed about ankle level there is a groove in the plastic kick panel that says "Fuel Reset" or something like that. What the heck is it?

I have a 98 explorer with 85k on it I have started to have problems with the idle again. It will not hold a constant idle and the starting has been slower than usual. Last year I replaced the IAC valve along with the plugs and wires. I was wondering if this could be a mass air flow sensor...

Recently while driving my truck no more than 26 miles to and from to work my temperature gage will fluctuate to hot. But as I check under my hood the engine's cool. My on-board computer also says "engine temp ok." As I stop for a minute and let the truck idle, when I take off again the temp gage...

Ford's new tire recommendation by stevie
I have noticed that Ford is recommending that tires be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Apparently, they have determined that the tire's internal components are subject to failure after 6 years and the tires are no longer safe. Ford also says to discard the spare, even...

Dealer being reasonable? by [email protected]

2002 Explorer electrical question by Jonah
While looking into an A/C problem, I happened to check the ratings on all the fuses in the high current fuse box under the hood. Quite a few of them (like 7 or 8) are not the same rating as listed in the owner's manual. Could the manual be wrong? I can't imagine someone changing that many with...
