98 4.0 SOHC Yesterday, transmission fluid was coming out of the top of the dipstick tube. The fluid level is checked regularly and no fluid has been added for over a year (the truck does few miles) so it hasn't been over filled. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks Len Smith.

Happy holidays, Anyone have any helpful suggestions for changing the headlamp bulbs (both sides) in a '98 Explorer EB AWD vehicle? That is anything besides "be careful NOT to touch the bulbs with your bare hands". I opened the access flaps on the shroud, and they do not look easy to get at,...

Hi, Recently, my 2002 Explorer started thumping the back by the lock control for the 3rd row seats. It was first doing it only when the rear AC was on. Then when any AC was on and now it just does it randomly. It does not change with speed or engine rpm. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I've notice my car vibrates, it occurs when i get up to about 40 or so, i know my transmission is about to shift, and i slowly ease of the gas, in the midst of shifting my car vibrates. Any thoughts?

This problem started a while ago, but would usually start after letting it sit for at least 8 hours. Now its been a week and I'm clueless where to start. Recently replaced EG valve and regulator, new plugs and wires. has 133k miles. I have a code reader and nothing came up.

Has anyone ever offered a lower purchase price at the end of your lease? How do you go about that? The business manager where we leased our suv, is no longer available and as a matter of fact the Ford dealership is no longer there. Please help!!!

The New England winter cracked the windshield on my 2000 Explorer 2dr Sport. This never happened on my 1991 Explorer -- its windshield seemed to be a lot thicker. So I wonder, when I replace the glass on the 2000, will the thicker glass from an earlier model fit? Thanks, Greg

I just got home! I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. We got home, put our car in park, turned it off and noticed the brake lights were not turning off, and thought they were sticking. So we gently pulled on the pedal, and that didn't do anything. So we thought we'd take a look at the fuse box. After...

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer and want to disable the alarm system. Darn thing is unpredictable.

Quite some time ago I recall someone posting the procedure to change the tail light bulbs in a 98 Explorer. I didn't pay any attention to it at the time, however, I need the info. now. How do I pull up older posts? Or, if someone could please tell me how to get to the bulb. Thanks, Steve

test?

I need to replace some of the instrument cluster bulbs. Is there a step by step instruction list for the removal and reinstall of the instrument cluster for a 1995 Eddie Bauer Explorer? Thanks.

1998 Explorer with rear disk brakes. I didn't realize that the rear brake pads are not identical. One end of each pad has a notch, otherwise they appear identical. Does the notch ride on the upper or lower rail? Or does it even matter? No reference in the factory manual and pads are not identified...
