Ford OEM Keychain by
devnu11
I'm trying to purchase a Ford Keychain like you would get when you bought a
new Explorer from the dealer. It was silver and had "Explorer" engraved on

Temperature stuck at cold by
wdbillingslea
I have a 1995 Ford Explorer 4x4. For a while now my temperature gauge
barely rises above "Cold". Other than that car seems to act fine. Is
this a problem? If so, what would I be damaging if I don't get it fixed?
